Betteridge's Law applies.

Nice swan, Herbert.

Billy Bragg for DG.

I'm sure the privately-educated former deputy chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Party won't be out of work for long.

I prefer the singular possessive, "Oh, for fuck's sake." It just sounds more professional.

Joni Mitchell was born on 7 November 1943 in Alberta, Canada. Photographed by Jack Robinson on 20 November 1968 in New York, she had just released her first album and was about to perform an acclaimed and sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall.

The biggest lies have a grain of truth at the heart of them. And so it is with this Telegraph article. The thing is, this would/will only be true for pensioners with income - income, not assets - of over £125k per year. So only those who can afford to contribute a bit more, then.

Two birds sit on telephone wires - notes on a song sheet, against a grey sky.

Taking the think out of tank

Yet another Reform councillor posting disgustingly racist comments, in this case Farage's pick to be Doncaster's mayor. My take? That we aren't at all surprised doesn't mean we should accept this and behaviour like this as the new normal. ✍️ - @josiah.writes.news bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

Murmurations are beautiful and mesmerising, and I love them.

Absolutely. ALT text: A Royal Mail van, the driver of which has parked it such that it is blocking a cycle lane. Everyone travelling along the cycle lane will be forced out into vehicular traffic, and hence exposed to additional risk. Individuals and organisations who care don't block cycle lanes.

You love to see it. I certainly do.

Absolutely. And, as she announces that she won't run for re-election, let's not forget that she also gifted us this delicious moment:

When a guest of the White House collapsed during a press conference yesterday, Getty photographer Andrew Harnik captured the moment when, having briefly turned towards the man and watched him receive care, Trump turned away, his face registering no concern. Quite the contrast to Tobias Ellwood.

Centre-left party latest

Mamdani stood on manifesto pledges of free universal childcare, building more affordable housing, and tackling food poverty. With 8% of households in County Durham using food banks, and 11,000 on the waiting list for social housing, I'm going to suggest Luke Akehurst is talking out of his arse.

I love this. More of this.

Just fucking pack it in with the fireworks, yeah? Our dog's terrified.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Exclusive: A Conservative councillor and the party’s former Chair in Cornwall has been accused of “old-fashioned racism” after suggesting that Britain cannot sustain the “volume of young black males” she claimed was “flooding” the country and “jeopardising” safety bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/c...

The bosses at Drax must be delighted with the return they're getting for their modest financial support of the Labour Party conference.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

A transphobic centrist weasel says what?

"Do what's right"? I, for one, am delighted to hear that Rachel Reeves is going to clamp down on big business tax evasion, tax the ultra-rich, bring in a frequent flyer levy, and reverse Brexit.

Well, this is some good news to wake up to.

This one’s for bibliophiles. Loosely based on Edinburgh Castle.

Prediction: Billion-dollar lawsuit inbound. Bankrupt the bellend.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social emailed Nadia Sass, the wife of the man charged alongside the former leader of Reform Wales, Nathan Gill, and she sent a long reply ..all about Nigel Farage. Weird thing is that Carole didn’t ask her anything about Nigel Farage. broligarchy.substack.com/p/nigel-fara...
