It *literally* does. Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

Compare and contrast.

Now I know he's safe I'll just say you're an absolute disgrace to the human race if when you see a guy contemplating taking his own life your instinct is to get your camera out, film it and have a good 'ol laugh about it. Seen the best and worst of people this morning.

Should we defer to self-interested, race-baiting, tax avoiders like Jim Ratcliffe or the pillaging grifters who run our water companies when deciding what is best for the UK? Rip-off Britain has its roots in the cost-cutting, price gouging, short-termism of so many business people. Fuck 'em.

Starmer has been 'captured' by the soft left and yeah they seem to have the power now but what part of Starmer's life/career before politics and before leadership indicates that he isn't of that faction too? One of his many problems is no-one believes him when he talks/governs to the right, surely

Couple of things... First, as far as I know, Gavin Williamson and Susan Hall are still on Lowe's "advisory board" while being Tory members. Second, the more the right bloc splits the better for Labour/Libs in the short term.

My mother died this week. I’m not posting this for sympathy, although thank you. But I realised I was so extremely grateful for people who showed small kindnesses this week. People who let me out while I was driving to her deathbed. People who smiled when I got stuck at the self service supermarket.

Guy in sainsbury's getting reduced flowers, milk tray and a card. Well done for ticking the box, mate

Always come back to the fact the 20% of their voters *supported the racist riots* in the summer of '24 and a bigger % supported the sentiment behind it, but not the violence. Most of them are not our voters and nor should they be.

Rare to get an actual vox pop with a pothole

The plan ⬇️

It stopped raining finally for like 5 minutes, my cat went straight out and within minutes brought a dead mouse back. I think she took her frustration out on the poor thing. Just needed a kill. I get where she's coming from.

She is first rate and one to watch. Personable, and brilliant in the HoC too. This is what irritates me about the Al Carns hype, perfectly fine male politicians are held on a pedestal, while far more impressive women aren't even part of the conversation.

“Kemi Badenoch is using victims of grooming as a human shield to throw rocks”. Natalie Fleet questions Badenoch’s recent interest on the issue of women’s safety when it comes to Starmer, pointing to her time as women’s minister: “She didn’t care about grooming”.

Do recommend listening to the whole interview. She's just very, very impressive.

Fuck, quite frankly, Farage. Sprouting Putin's lines vertabin

The reason I keep changing my mind on whether we should go long with Keir or change sooner is summed up by this MP: “I could not tell you a single thing about what the difference is between Wes [Streeting] and Angela [Rayner] and what they would change about the country – apart from vibes,”

Might he feel safer in London if he stopped stepping into oncoming traffic to avoid tired looking men walking towards him at 8 in the morning?

*insert computer says no* gif here.

George Osbourne cut public spending by roughly 3% in real terms. The Govt has increased it by 4.3% at the last budget alone. This sort of critiques are entirely vibes based and detached from reality

BBC News - Peter Murrell accused of embezzling £459,000 over 12-year period www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This 'life hack' seems to be basically 'don't do stuff you don't actually enjoy doing' and if you don't enjoy watching sport that is, indeed, good advice. Why were you doing that in the first place though?

Lol I don't think that is 'according to Owen's argument here' at all.

The Tony Blair Institute out there today calling for more oil and gas drilling in an absolute gift for Farage and Badenoch. Government will be forgiven for thinking, with friends like these... www.businessgreen.com/news/4525624...

I mean I sit firmly in the middle ground on this issue, but 'changing gender' at primary school involves a chat with parents and kids using a preferred pronoun according to this piece 🤷‍♂️

According to the FT poll tracker, the brief Tory mini-revival that saw them move into second place behind Reform is over. The Greens also seem to have stalled. Whichever way you look at it, there is no viable path to defeating the nationalist right where Labour does not play the biggest role.

“I can’t thank the government enough”

EXCL: Police are assessing new claims unearthed by ITV News tonight that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was setting up a business with convicted paedophile Epstein while STILL a Trade Envoy. It appears the plan was to discreetly use his "aura and access". www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

Gosh been an eventful few days in UK politics, let's catch up with the latest in the US shall we....

Support for gay marriage is over 75% in this country and has been for years. The CofE should decide if it wants to be the national church or a sect.

*eye roll* not my gang, not my problem but spare me the 'wrestling with your conscience' on equality for gay people. You just wouldn't get a free pass with that bs if you were talking another minority group.

Firstly, RIP Pippa's mentions but secondly it *is* odd just *how* disliked he is by a lot of people. I'm not sure this piece explains it, either. When I ask people the reasons just don't convince me that's it. It genuinely is strange considering he is at heart a dull manager. Don't get it.

Think Starmer needs to get his chief of staff to look into how all these poor appointments came about, tbh.

In short, while pointing out that breaking news with conflicting perspectives involves publication of competing accounts, pending clarification, BBC accepts it was slow to adjust once it became clear that only one side was engaged in to truth. Key paras in long email here …

Exactly the kind of bs you'll see in the UK should Reform win the next election. Every which way they can they will sow division and hate.

This is why the "narrative is everything" crowd miss the point. We're in a post-spin world. We're almost in a post-comms world. And where nothing that is communicated can be trusted, what people see and feel matters more than it has ever done.

The very definition of a 'sorry... but I meant every word of it' apology. news.sky.com/liveblog-web...

Starmer needs more leadership challenges!

Why? Is it his thinking on where the tax burden should fall, or his thoughts on where we go with uni funding or his work around SEN.... or is it just.....vibes and the uniform?

This, though, is why it was always so important for Starmer to call this stuff out quickly and forcibly - it forces the beeb to do their job.

Disgusting remarks, and that’s before you note this is someone who moved to (colonised as he would put it) a tax haven news.sky.com/story/the-uk...

I suspect he might not have been as quick to come out and say this a year ago and I'll take that as a small win for tonight, ta.

These are outrageous and inflammatory remarks from an out of touch multi millionaire businessman who clearly has no empathy with hard-pressed families. To seek to stigmatise immigrants and welfare claimants in this way is shameful. news.sky.com/story/the-uk...

Thoughtful and, I think, largely correct.

Listening to the newsagents and Goodall makes a good point about past behaviour on the tory side, too. None of this excuses Starmer's decisions just a little bit of hypocrisy going around all this. Don't repost this in support of Starmer's position it's not my view! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Well done to Sky for correcting this bit of ignorance. As shown extensively in the Epstein files there's plenty of proof that being rich doesn't mean you have any great insights into the world.

Manchester Utd owner is giving media interviews claiming UK "colonised" by immigrants He thinks population rose 12 million snce 2020! 11 million people born abroad; this was 9.5 million in 2020, so that is up 1.5 million (not 12 million) but rose 7 million in 30 years from 4m before 1997
