❓ Peston: "If you know a billionaire came up to you and offered you £5 million, would you pocket it? Tice: "No one's done that." Peston: "He did!" Tice: "Come on, calm down." Reform UK really cannot deal with any kind of scrutiny...

Sixty six Labour MPs have tabled an amendment to the Representation of the People Bill, calling for the Government to "get to grips with the broken First Past the Post voting system" Tabled by Alex Sobel MP, the amendment would push the Government to set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform

I see #Strictly have replaced two women with one woman and two men which is the correct exchange rate in terms of work. It had better not be in terms of pay. BBC News - Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe to present Strictly Come Dancing - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every lie that we tell owes a debt to the truth, and at some point that debt must be repaid

Which makes it a political donation, so...

The road to a Reform government is actually a Streeting

Without wishing to baffle everybody with technical, statistical and demographic terms this is, compared to other factors such as emigration numbers and deaths due to old age, a number that is commonly termed as being 'Fuck All'.

All together now! ... "But Nige did take five million quid, and Nige would take five million more!" 💥💥💥 #RefUKkers

We were so close

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Thank you @machcomedyfest.bsky.social for another wonderful weekend. My highlights were: Hasan Al Habib Marjolein Robertson Gareth Gwynn Alexandra Haddow Stuart Laws' comedians beer mat flipping Pierre Novelli and James Acaster

Machynlleth bound. I've caught up on @quietriotpod.bsky.social and I'm back to @alexpodyssey.bsky.social Europa episode. it's wholly worthwhile for the music and the voices including Alex's wonderful usual one.

Tomorrow I'm going to on my annual pilgrimage to @machcomedyfest.bsky.social I've got a tank full of diesel and @sturdyalex.bsky.social keeping me company with his excellent @alexpodyssey.bsky.social podcast for the 5 hour trip.

I didn't think vampires could be photographed.

I am a big believer of "I don't care about the 5% of people who have abused the system as long as the 95% of people who need them, get one. Unless you are one of the 5% and I know you because I will call you out for being a twat.

women next to me at the cafe discussing a European couple they know who moved to London and hired a schools consultant (?) who advised them on what neighbourhood to buy a house in so their kids could get into the best state school, so I reckon that we actually could tax high earners a bit more tbh

Rick Moranis coming out of retirement to make Spaceballs 2 should be bigger news than it is imo

Trump's ear grew back pretty well and pretty quickly after being "shot" by a man we still know absolutely nothing about.

"We accidentally made an animated graphic for Reform and then did a party political broadcast for them by mistake."

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Rage, rage against the lying of the shite.

This is why the 25th Amendment exists. This is the purpose of having the 25th Amendment. To not use this power to remove the president is not a passive act, a mere option: it is a positive decision to misuse the constitution.

Subscribing to the print edition of The Onion was one of my finest decisions. I leave old copies behind DIY work to be discovered by future generations and to confuse the living shit out of them. theonion.com/hospital-dec...

If it's really bad, the headline 'Dark Satanic Mills' is available for the tabloids.

Zuck's whole crew look like they just threw those human suits on for the picture. ...and they're itchy.

Got a lovely welcome from the team at Ipswich Town.

Seriously though, I'm so relieved the precedent has been set and I can say without fear of censure or accusations of disrespecting the sanctity of human life that I will be immensely glad when Trump is dead. For the avoidance of doubt - Trump dead? Me glad. The gladness at the Trump deadness? Lots.
