I've long ago abandoned the idea that newspapers will treat games with any degree of seriousness but these "reviews" in The Guardian are basically captions

The reason I accepted £5million is that I can't be bought.

Nigel Farage says the £5m gift he got from a crypto billionaire was a ‘reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years’ On May 5, Mr Farage told the BBC the money was ‘the only way I can protect myself for the rest of my life’ as he was the ‘most attacked, physically, politician of modern times’

Anyone not calling it a wesignation is a coward

Streeting. What a wally.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

An absolute all-timer of a canva graphic there

I've plugged this show before, but this Tommy Tiernan interview with Bob Geldof is astonishing. As raw as they get. youtu.be/IkXKZc0FQaA?...

Just when things couldn't get any worse for Starmer

Fun fact: the magical child safety solution which Jess Philips cited in her resignation letter is a vendor-specific offering, which benefited from an intense PR and lobbying campaign, and was previously praised by ... Prince Andrew. I always keep the receipts. heatherburns.tech/2026/02/20/t...

"Coronation Streeting" was RIGHT THERE

Jess Phillips putting her photo on her resignation letter is a bit weird, no? Is she worried Starmer doesn't know her by name?

Labour to appoint Michael Carrick as caretaker prime minister

Wes Streeting is already facing growing calls to stand down as PM

For this decision alone, Starmer and Streeting should get in the sea

Honestly feel like a good chunk of the crisis Starmer is facing has been memed into existence by lobby corrs.

Has your Mac binned the ChatGPT app because it "contains malware". Here's what's going on: www.forbes.com/sites/barryc...

Match of the Day analysis is astonishingly poor. Rooney using United using the fewest players since Jan to claim they don't have a big enough squad. Or perhaps is it that being out of all cup competitions they don't need to rotate? Didn't even seem to occur to him.

Full marks to this pack of Leicestershire fans at Sussex today, who put on an entertaining match at tea

Also very happy that my part of the planet has largely rejected the hate mongers

Remember the BBC parroting Farage that Labour were being "wiped out"? Here's the actual standings with 86 of 136 councils declared:

Labour's clearly not being "wiped out", as the BBC's own figures show above their blurb, and yet they still parrot Farage's nonsense. Journalism RIP.

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind + solar Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

First they came for the Mac mini... (listen to today's @pcpro.co.uk Podcast for more on this).

This is an absolute car crash. Can't tell if he's stoned off his gourd or just one of those Muskian "entrepreneurs" who are so convinced of their genius that they can't believe they have to answer basics.

If the government wants to tackle the "online breeding ground of antisemitism" why on earth are Keir Starmer, the government and @heidialexander.bsky.social still posting on X? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Scrambled egg on toast...

I'm 100% sure this is a safety measure and not a means of preventing Anthropic having a conscience

I often listen to shows later on BBC 6 Music, which is great, but why the Jeremy Paxman can they not remove the news from archive shows? Who wants to listen to three-day-old news?

This pic of Pep and O'Reilly looks AI generated. I'm sure it's not, but...

Tommy Tiernan is just exceptional at interviewing. Apparently he does all these off-the-cuff, not knowing who the guest is. It's a different class to the Norton/Ross/Winkleman PR jobs we get in the UK. youtu.be/nixDV3rymio?...

Regular reminder that you, an individual, should almost always book direct with your airline. Also: avoid booking through a third party online travel agent (OTA) like lastm*nute/book*ing dot com. This was the case before the current Gulf/oil/jetfuel crisis, and it's even more the case now.

What merry hell is this?

Our washing machine has lost its mind. Even when turned off it sits there bleeping gibberish in the corner.

Oh, what a lovely war

If Reeves doesn't windfall tax the granny out of BP and co to pay for the winter energy support, she's mad.

Trump beaten by Iranian. Where have I read that before? #Snooker

Was it by running really fast?

Of course Chris Mason's latest brain fart about Starmer is the most important thing happening in the world. Of course it is.

This might be a new record. Just 1.6% fossil fuel being used on the UK grid. #renewables #stopburningstuff

Incredible that journalists can just ring Trump's mobile and speak directly to him. If the BBC has that number, who else has it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Need to scan something urgently... Which is of course when my printer decides to enter a 20-minute firmware update that I can't skip.

You can actually see the moment Ed Miliband thinks, what's the point burning through whatever political credibility I've got left energetically defending a man who's going to be gone in a matter of weeks.

If the government is creating a law "to give legal force to what schools are already doing", wouldn't it be better off legislating on stuff that might actually have an impact, rather than pointless gimmicks? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
