They're right that Reform is a serious party. They should try to take Reform's threat to detain and/or deport hundreds of thousands of people from internment camps more seriously.

It's very funny that this guy wasn't about the 400th to do so

When I think about labour

Presumably the vast majority of this is just illness being a proxy for age, but there’s some evidence that people in pain are more likely to support right-wing parties

'...and having been proven ridiculous by reality, Kellner's absurd scale was abandoned forever and everyone lived happily ever after'

Good to see the LibDems gradually rebuilding the Kingdom of Wessex one shire at a time under King Ædward of Davey. Just Hamtunscīr, Wiltunscir and the Vale of Teste to conquer before the kingdom is reunited to fight back the Reforme hordes of Mercia and Essex

I think it's very optimistic for Labour to imagine the poor decisions referenced in this thread aren't going to come rushing back in the current environment.

For the columnists, the lesson is always that party members shouldn’t be allowed to do anything. Even when that means pretending Tory MPs were always against Truss and didn’t let her sail through 5 rounds of votes www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Kirov Reservoir Dam (1976) on the Talas River in Kyrgyzstan. r/brutalism

Not sure about the strength of this line tbh

Playing Lindelof in midfield in a European semifinal . . . a 'brave decision' in the Yes Minister sense

I generally dislike the idea of Reform posters, but this one is well-positioned #elections

They even passed some quickfire legislation to expand acceptable ID... to the veterans card and nothing else. You really can't overrate how shit they have been!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ofc I accept that I'm as far as possible from a neutral voice on this, but is this not one of the most hideously ugly monstrosities you've ever seen? Like imagine if that really was the view from HS2, if this really does end up dominating the skyline. On some level I can't believe it's not a prank.

My canvasser this evening was Suzanne Webb herself, bit of a surprise

'I'm Spartacus' it isn't

It really is British

I would like to apologise to the tiresome cunts community.

If Rudy is on the way out it's only fair that we remind ourselves of this, the funniest thing that has ever happened. People are sometimes gaslit into being told that finding this amusing is "cringe" or "resist lib" and that is wrong. It was an absolute, cast iron, day of absolute hilarity.

I enjoyed this one. A high-class (yet embarrassing) Actual Name

Yes, okay, you're going to build 'detention centres' big enough to hold 'tens of thousands at a time' in the centre of Brighton, Bristol, Manchester etc. Seems plausible

This is just millennial culture. Millennials love paying rent

Exactly how would appointing a guy nobody likes to a role nobody cares about 'rescue Keir Starmer'?? Did the very similar idea of appointing David Cameron to the exact same role 'rescue Rishi Sunak'?

I have a bit more sympathy with this than with the other Green 'let's prevent fossil fuel demand destruction' policy ideas, because - unlike electrons or degrees of domestic heating - holidays are not very fungible. For my wife to see her family in Ontario, it's Canada she must go to, not Clacton.

It’s interesting how many experienced, impartial national broadcasters simply cannot behave professionally around this one guy

Who is 'us', here?

Every day we stray further from god's light. "Looks like an ordinary wristwatch, right? But if you flip it over, it's two penguins fucking!"

This is true, but on the other hand who cares. Don't want them here anyway

ah, the claude delusion

Taking 'songs' literally, 10 of the ones that have been important at key moments or for key reasons over my life:

incredible actual irl interaction i witnessed standing in a queue at a hospital cafe the other day: “can I have a latte please?” “would you like sugar with that?” “na i’m okay” “are you sweet enough already 😉” “no i’m diabetic”

That's the west coast mainline for you

Day 1 legislation for a new Tory government is a law compelling the BBC to give him an hour live from the Apollo and his ex-wife to get back together with him

this is British Marvel

As theories go, this one does not line up well with observable voting behaviour in a UK context

Chancellor, if you want to get serious about saving the economy you have to do the right thing and abolish VAT on Bandcamp Friday purchases

Sometimes you just have the urge to post something for no reason whatsoever. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I don't want to say I ate too much cheese but I was having a dream about a female war correspondent who was reporting on a civil war among Smurfs, and one of them had kneecapped her with a shotgun so she was heroically learning to walk again.

I don't know or care much about wrestling but the burn here made me laugh

It's not the world's greatest movie, but the backlash to 'Don't Look Up' went too far the other way. There's plenty of this 'what if we just ignore it' stuff out there.

Bill Ackman IPOed Pershing Square for $5 billion today, easily the greatest one day wealth increase of his life, and he celebrated this by replying to randos on Twitter who were either congratulating or trying to beef with him at midnight NY time

Do like this time of year

back on board now i know he’s been having a pop at barney ronay
