Ballsy talk from a man who had the 748th-worst (out of 751) attendance record as an MEP, only attends parliament when the cameras are there, is never in his constituency & spends most of his life flying off to dinner speaking engagements. A week's actual hard work would kill him.

Employ people. That might help.

I think this is misleadingly presented. It is legal for a 16-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man to have sex in the UK. He is using this to sell his 'redemption' arc to US conservatives, it is not something he is on trial for; he's on trial for rape and assault of several adult women.

but i was told surrendering on toilet access would "take the issue off the table"

Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, I repeat Pope Leo has lost the Protestants, this is unpreced— <wait my producer is just whispering something in my ear> Apparently this is precedented

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

"Baird made more than 100 visits to her GP, the court heard, where she reported she had been raped, and displayed bruising, which she said had been caused by beatings."

A local tattoo artist posted a video on Instagram of him asking two blokes in hi-vis not to put up an England flag on the lamp post outside his shop. Consequence: a flood of bad Google reviews including the predictable “paedo” allegations (“he touched my daughter” etc). Truly the shittiest people.

US govt: Their bodies, their choice. People: So you'll restore Roe v. Wade and allow gender-affirming care? US govt: Not like that.

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult. She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

This is such bollocks. All primaries and over 90% of secondaries already impose bans. This is policy to placate GB News viewers and completely unnecessary. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

this sounds kinda like a "who cares" achievement but its a very exciting milestone for rich guys who are extremely invested in a future where robots they control are slavedrivers and prison guards for the rest of the human population

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

When the numbers were going up, the Channel boat crossings dominated BBC news & much of the media daily. They have fallen 34% in the first three months of this year, but you wouldn’t know it from the media coverage.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Sorry but it is genuinely creepy that this (engaged,36yearold) guy spends his time getting angry that Gen Z women are "intolerant" for not wanting to date someone who supports a sexually abusive, racist misogynist who is destroying the fucking world and making it more expensive to live as we speak

YOU BROUGHT A HOME NEXT TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE. THAT IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. HEAVEN HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1979 astonishing levels of Nimby

The BBC could be putting THIS on the front page of their website, instead of blaming "migrants" for the assholes who exploit them.

This story is based entirely on dodgy advisers lying to potential clients to get money out of them. The one person they actually spoke to who used this 'service' was rejected and returned to Pakistan and has since been blocked from returning to the UK.

Ugh - the Royal Marsden helped to save my wife’s life, and they’re trying to do so for many, many more people. And NIMBYs are trying to stop it because the lifesaving building is taller than they’d like?? Give me strength. (Via Looking For Growth)

I do think Robertson blunted his response with an unnecessary sideswipe as "welfare". Money could come from higher taxes. Or cuts elsewhere. And he did the politician's get out of saying "welfare" and not "pensions". Turns an intervention from a defence-focused one to Retired Man Has Opinion.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

Ahem! “describe Brexit nightmare”

sorry, school zone! Helen Rumbelow needs this morning commute to dangerous and sexy!

So JD Vance traveled to Hungary to endorse a candidate who appears likely to lose and then went to Pakistan to fall on his face with the Iran negotiations. Truly an impressively terrible international trip.

‘They’re all junk, and should be banned’: the trouble with at-home food intolerance tests www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Also nobody is SCARED of old men hands. Get to fuck with this sexist bullshit

FEAR OF OLD LADY HANDS?! Fear of hands that have held hands, wiped arses, cooked, cleaned, wiped tears, given pleasure, created art, weathered the cold? No I don’t fear those. I do fear for people who believe the lie that ageing is disgusting & they should spend their time & money fighting it though

Like Chernobyl 🤦

30% of UK adults don't drive. The weird idea that if you don't drive your view is illegitimate really needs to die. It's their tax you'll be using to subsidise everyone else!

Now we watch as half the people who complain that ‘kids have nothing to do’ suddenly come up with reasons why the late-night youth club shouldn’t be in *their* bit of the borough.

BBC News item on lifting the child poverty cap and they have to both sides it. So, alongside a woman with five kids who desperately needs it they have two men who don't need it/aren't entitled saying they don't agree with it being lifted. Why are they on my TV? They're not relevant.

So can we fucking opt out then??

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

NEWS! Man who loudly demanded chocolate eggs have 'Easter' written on the box didn’t go to church again this year newsthump.com/2026/04/05/m...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but after a few minutes’ searching online, I think Allison Pearson has revealed she is spearheading a nonexistent group that plan to get ‘hundreds of women and girls’ to stand on a beach and stare at France

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

(crying): here, and now

If they think a condition has a chance of recovery, how do they expect those people to be able to recover if they can’t afford to eat or heat their home?

Yeah I’ve heard JP Morgan are struggling

just to be clear: Imane Khelif is *biologically* a woman. she's not a trans woman, the entire intellectual edifice of terfism is a completely capricious attempt to define anyone they don't like out of being a woman

Of course no one from *checks notes* Sudan or Afghanistan could be in genuine danger.
