I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

👀👀👀 “Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication….On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated…”

Well that bit’s true, no one is laughing

This is one of the weirdest pivots I’ve ever seen www.cnbc.com/2026/04/15/a...

JD Vance is the ultimate Reply Guy. He’s Well Actuallying the Pope about Catholic theology.

Around *1/5* of all the species that live in a natural forest need dead wood. So no, it's not 'wasted' or 'untidy'. Even in your garden, spare a thought and leave it for them.

your party was a 10 month long sociological experiment conducted by harvard university. the study is now complete, thank you for your time

Losing it at him saying the pope is ‘weak on nuclear weapons’

Your regular reminder that the US had a pain-stakingly negotiated and workable deal with Iran when Trump came to power, but he tore it up. He's now desperately trying to secure a deal much worse than the one he set aside.

I hope the new Permanent Secretary at the Home Office is going to be able to look at the UK Visas and Immigration’s practices www.thetimes.com/article/1644...

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

Pitchfork’s best albums bracket final is out. lol

Lidl opening its first pub is the sort of thing that must make comedy writers on topical news shows rub their hands with glee www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So @jderbyshire.ft.com asked @philgordondc.bsky.social if the Iran war is the US’s Suez moment. He said no, but then pithily and pitilessly sums up how it has been a comprehensive strategic failure. Oof! www.ft.com/content/0cbc...

Big fan of the FT making it clear that Mid Suffolk council does not have control of the UK’s nuclear codes giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

That is objectively a very funny phrase.

Excellent reporting on the horrors Lebanon are seeing under the recent Israeli attacks www.ft.com/content/5501...

#BREAKING Series of Israeli strikes across Lebanon kills dozens, wounds hundreds: health ministry

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

God, what a terrifying statement

I am genuinely shocked by this (also had to double check it was real), surely a huge no no amongst his Maga fans to swear like this

Good summary from the New Statesman on Trump’s speech yesterday…

it's ridiculous that this "London has fallen" bullshit has been allowed to fester for so long. The best time to deal with this was a few years ago, and the second best time is now

Think of how many small businesses are started by immigrants.

Another day, another morning of looking at headlines and feeling just a huge sense of mounting dread about what’s to come

Accepting this would, in essence, double Iranian govt revenues Add that to a more hardline regime taking over, abandoning freedom of navigation as a principle, empowering China *and* proving the Strait of a huge deterrant... ... total Iranian victory. Arguably the greatest geopolitical error ever.
