Isn't it funny how when faced with the simplest questions Musk turns out to be a moron

This basically. Do I want to pay more tax? No. Do I think people like myself in the dreaded PMC must pay more for the kind of services I'd like to see? Yep.

An issue with the council tax that's never brought up is the fact a renter pays it based on the value of a property they don't own. Which is frankly insane as a concept.

In other "Broken Britain" news, the pet groomers put up their prices by a staggering 50% last month. I'm gonna have to go round and ask what exactly changed between July and October 2025.

Where do they find these "the model is 210cm tall, wears a size Small" people

Manifest that shit queen 👑

I don't see what the issue is here

Can someone explain to me, a normal person, how can a company that's not doing very well pay a trillion dollars to its CEO

Looks like an all-inclusive

Duncan woke up and chose violence

How big are these coach and horses that they can be seen from space?

You know the bants will be good

I know NY is in a different country but having voted for our own Muslim mayor, us Londoners have helped create unlimited potential for aneurysms on the right.

Mamdani is doing a Kendrick

Ah yes, I was 7, peak criminality from me too

How do you oppose the expansion of a voluntary defensive alliance? Countries have to apply, of their own accord. And I say this as someone who does believe we need an alternative (militarised) European structure to replace NATO.

Beautiful discourse for a Sunday, instant classic

The problem with diagnosing "the electorate have unreasonable expectations around tax and spend" is that those expectations did not develop in a vacuum. They are the product of decades of politicians and the media telling them they can have x services with y tax levels, or not contradicting it.

Laurence Fox wrote a song about Charlie Kirk, and this is the only comment on it.

Great piece, love how he lives his politics by actually doing stuff in his community rather than pointless social media gestures.

I wanna know how he managed the cork

BREAKING Prince Andrew will no longer be a Prince of the United Kingdom. In an extraordinary move, Buckingham Palace has announced that the King is stripping him of that style. Presumably, he will now be known as Andrew Windsor. The Palace also stated he has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge.

Tell you what, Rory Stewart having a go at Ed Milliband over net zero wasn't on my bingo card.

Missed it at the time when that meme about "something about yuor job normal people don't know" so here we go: Trade publications very often have much higher journalistic standards than your average national politics desk.

I mean... LOL, but would also 100% watch

This is one of the few proper anglo-protestant / ROW divides. Insignificant in many ways but it's funny because she'd be referred to as aunt in Greece as well for instance, and something I had to explain to my partner when we visited my family back home.

"war is bad, so it should stop. Vote for me"

I let me curiosity win and watched this word salad take, and now so must you

Catching up with Mamdani's endless bag of ingenious tricks, like "not being a fucking freak" and "liking the place I seek to govern and the people likely to vote for me". One has to wonder if he's missing a trick by not hopelesslycampaigning to win over people who despise him instead?

This is obviously a bullshit story, but given I've seen a few on Bell lately, looks like someone has it out for him?

Every time I see a clip of Mandani I'm taken back by this genius trick that he's come up with: "talking like a normal person". Amazing what it can do for your comms when you don't sound like a weird automaton.

Car designers, I beg you: just because a car is electric, it doesn't need to look like an electric shaver. Other aesthetics are available.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Please... In the Balkans everyone can bribe politicians, here it's only reserved for corporations, the very rich and foreign oligarchs, we are not the same

They genuinely don't know what it says, bloody hell

The Butlerian Jihad is upon us

If anyone ever accuses you of not arranging to see your friends, show them this

It's gotta be Liz Truss

This with bells on for so many industries right now

That's like 28k a year for full time, which is not that much in London to say the least

Mass deporting millions of people legally living here in order to make the UK "culturally coherent" is "broadly in line" with Conservative party policy, says Kemi Badenoch's spokesman

Blessed are the above median earners for they shall be able to stay, contingently

A huge plus of this deal is that there really isn't much of a chance Sweden would find itself ran by an even implicitly pro-Russian gov.

I mean to be fair, given this would crash the economy and huge swaths of state capacity, lots of people would leave anyway.

It was 3 grams in my day, nothing is safe from inflation

How? - “Scully, there are UFOs and the government is ran by Nazis!!!” - “I know Mulder, I read the New York Times as well”

On a personal level, friends ask why I don't want to get a British citizenship. Fundamentally, I think it's a piss-take and if we get to the point where the only thing protecting me is a passport, I would leave anyway because I don't want to live in a failed state.

Anyone entertaining this should be shunned basically, let's be honest here. We're talking rogue state level stuff.
