Wait a minute, where is Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage to defend our free speech?

finally we get to see what true patriotism looks like

People! It’s a slither of snake 🐍and a sliver of cake 🍰. They are two very different things.

"Almost no one will have knowingly encountered someone who illegally entered the country, let alone seen them actually arrive on the beach at Dover. They just think there’s a crisis because other people keep telling them there is."

Best thing today

‘Concerned local residents’

Dear god. I almost feel sorry for Reform. Hope they’ve got plenty of wine.

weird to think I lived through the few years when it felt like maybe feminism was actually, cautiously, finally getting somewhere, they already feel like a different world

And the local media supports it while whipping up local anger, see Everything Epping Forest.

I’d forgotten how comically loud the gear changes are in 2Fast2Furious. THUNK THUNK

Looking forward to seeing these two absolute gibbons named.

Political prisoner, my arse.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent. Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

Concerned locals. Ordinary mums and dads. Just members of.. checks notes... Combat 18. standuptoracism.org.uk/robert-jenri...

Nothing says "We Are Doing This Violent Racist Riot To Protect Women And Children" like a third of those arrested having previous for violence against women and girls.

Nigel Farage posts a video from 2015 in Greece and claims it is the UK today. What more proof is needed that this lying, grifting sack of shit will do anything to incite hatred and division?

Minor things you would like to know the answer to: which one of the dogs ate my Loop earplugs.

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

imagine telling the columnists who wanted to send in the army on some inner-London kids in 2011 that fifteen years on they'd actually be pro-riots

Quelle surprise

"At this point, women have been cleared out of all of the military’s top jobs." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The list of things Nigel Farage doesn't understand could fill the shelves of the British Library

I just spent far too long watching this video of Weetabix being born youtu.be/SJg6a1x0iUI

Just to be completely clear - this British Army Vet was NOT forced out of military housing to accommodate Afghans - who, by the way, put their own lives at risk to support and protect British soldiers. Just ever more rage-baiting by Matt! 🧵1/14

Cake by the Ocean makes me hate my very ears for being able to hear it.

This is hilarious!

That’s quite the defence.

This is a policy that would be dismissed as completely extremist even a year or two ago. And it’s now being proposed by the leader of the opposition. If a Brit married someone born overseas and had a (British!) disabled child, for example, they would be cut off from state support under this plan.

🔴Lucy Connolly, Bob Vylan and the False Claims of a ‘Two Tier Justice System’ Attempts to claim that the treatment of Lucy Connolly and Bob Vylan in any way demonstrate a “two tier” justice system are completely wide of the mark, argues barrister Gareth Roberts bylinetimes.com/2025/07/02/l...

Woke up to an earworm of Snooker Loopy and how’s your day going?

Concerns raised over Telegraph journalist as she completely forgets that Boris Johnson ever existed.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

An absolutely beautiful piece of writing from @jonnelledge.bsky.social ❤️

No, Guardian, are you mad? We’re all in bed by 10.30.

I love how this is so much like a big budget American version of the Boris/Cummings break-up.

If the hard and far right need to blame anyone for “two-tier” policing, they need only look to themselves and the invidious position in which they’ve put officers. My latest, on Liverpool open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

This must be the first time anyone has ever finished a bag of cornflour.

Worth a read for the ‘hurty words’ brigade.

HI I’D LIKE TO ADD YOU TO MY PROFESSIONAL NETWORK ON LINKED IN

Medieval dustman #eurovision

This is an incredible story when you read it and discover what actually happened was: - Lammy paid in advance - The driver tried to extort him for a massive tip - Drove off with his luggage - At somepoint clocked he was a VIP - Is now selling the story to The Sun.

Where's the outrage of Microsoft changing the default font from Calibri to Aptos. It should be as intense if not more, than when Apple gave us U2.

Laughed more than I should have at ‘Guy Gravey’ #6music #guygarvey’sfinesthour

Push pineapples shake the tree

Waiting for the announcement of trade tariffs against the Vatican.

Had a similar experience in California - coffee shop staff squealing with excitement at our accents and asking us to talk so they could hear it again then laughing.
