Not the point John's making here but good to see Labour are winning back the Reform voters.

Are they bombing the Marlborough Man?

It's been pretty depressing on here the last few days. Anyway I don't live in a fascist country and today the kids had their first skiing lesson and I got a few good runs in on the board without breaking anything Excellent day all round.

If a policy is bad then it's better to cancel it than not cancel it. I mean what do people expect the government to do, consult relevant parties BEFORE creating policy?!!

If like me "On The Ropes" was a prominent part of the soundtrack to your 18th summer then you certainly should keep it to yourself.

It's lazy to call Years and Years a documentary not a drama because even if the US nuked someone the UK wouldn't cut diplomatic ties.

This film's not even out yet and it's already causing people to question their god. If you love tangents you'll love this.

I know it's not the most important issue in the world right now but it's still worth reminding people that cyclo-cross will always look lame as fuck even if you call it gravel biking.

It's really not that hard is it Kier?

Natasha Yar's Steak Tartares

Must be Christmas morning. Father Christmas stole my brandy and left me a hangover. Happy Christmas everyone.

Cunk spittin Christmas cheer

Old and less old media politely having at it.

This is incredibly realistic. Exactly how Leicester Square looks to me if I end up there at night.

Let's hope he has the same effect on Reform as he did on Truss.

It is astonishing that we now have headlines like this and yet we are still not treating climate change as a life threatening emergency.

This is fucking awful. Polanski could have gone away from that experience and decided to seek out left wing economists and really bought that debate out to the public about alternatives to the current system and made a real difference. This introspective victim bollox achieves nothing.

Interesting counterfactual - What would LatAm look like if the US hadn't strangled its progress for the last 75+ years?

I guess the US is going to colonise Venezuela today.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I'm so glad I've never been to London, absolutely horrible place.

It's going to be exciting.

They gave him a participation medal and it made him genuinely happier than a child.

In case anyone is looking for a gift for the Tech Bro cunt in their life who hasn't actually read the books.

The bigger problem is he's still a fucking racist.

I'm so glad Labour are scrapping jury trials before stepping aside for a far right, authoritarian government backed by The Kremlin.

Someone got Whamed on December 1st.

A box of chocolates A bottle of wine A cricket bat My arse A sarcastic comment It really depends on you.

Pete HAIGseth amirite!

What could be more American than a random shooting?

Genuinely, does Labour have a single decent communicator in the entire party? Or even just someone capable of sounding like a human being?

Has Hugh Jackman been wearing a wig this whole time?

Having a shot every time Reeves says "hard working people". I think I'm going to die.

The most grating thing about these people who are destroying the world is that they're all such fucking losers.

The UK is a vassal state of the bond market.

Just catching up with the breaking news that 50 years ago Nigel Farage was still a racist.

Labour pandering to Farage as usual.

A good news story. The world's best tumblers saved by popular support.

Spain in general has terrible coffee. The author even admits they travel with their own V60. How do people get paid to write this tosh.

If you look at a picture of people in very difficult circumstances who are still managing to dance and joke together and see anything other than the brilliance of humanity then there is something broken inside you.

Not going to lie, the Russian spy ship looks pretty shit.

I hope some rich and powerful people are feeling a bit more nervous than usual today. May the whisper of the guillotine's blade draw ever closer to their ear.

And she's brought a big spoon.

A new one for me. Enjoying this track this morning.

Right. Hitler's DNA. Brace yourselves for a deluge of misinformation and bad science. I'm in Australia, so do get in touch if you want some expert debunking.

It would be very on brand of this Labour party to replace Starmer with Streeting who people dislike even more.

Truly the Starship of political parties.

Even when you try and imagine the most absolute dirt human being you can, someone will always surpass your expectations.

In which Emily Maitlis gives Wes Streeting plenty of very authentic rope with which to hang himself.
