Ah, the annual announcement of a "crackdown on benefit fraud" As a reminder, the DWPs own estimate for the level of benefit fraud is 2.2% or £6bn per year (across all benefits), some of which is already recovered. Meanwhile, HMRC estimates the amount lost to tax evasion in FY24 was 5.3% or £47bn.

Remember when Sir Kier Starmer, KC, Prime Minister of Great Britain and Nothern Ireland, made his nurse sister bring sandwiches to the pub cos he was too tight to shout her lunch?

I'm 51, what's a 'career path'?

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that a hack writer whose wizards canonically simply shat themselves and cleaned it up with magic would be confused and enraged by the normal operation of bathrooms.

We polled all 17 remaining Labour members and...

Azeem Rafiq is 34, and as a spinner would probably be at the top of his game right now, but instead of skittling Aussies for fun in the Ashes he was driven out of cricket by 'Vaughny' and his Yorkshire clique of racists.

This isn't real. Is this real? @stefgotbooted.bsky.social

Obviously F*rest winning is bad but for them to be thrashing Liverpool at Anfield is hilarious.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and maybe it is for me.

I’d point out that the Iraq report was instantly binned and never referred to again; that nobody is in prison for the Hillsborough disaster or for *soldiers literally gunning down civilians in the street*, and that there are no notable calls to exact consequences on Boris Johnson. This is standard.

Got my 9 yo The Machine Gunners, The Eagle of the Ninth and Deathtrap Dungeon from the Oxfam bookshop today. Damn right you're following in my nerd footsteps, lad.

Americans only have one good insult and that's 'jabroni' or 'jabronus' in the singular. Oh, and 'dip stick'.

the nominees were -a campaign to get lifechanging medication for extremely sick children -a campaign to improve access to justice for victims of rape and sexual assault -a transphobic hate campaign that managed to convince some judges to make the worst ruling in Supreme Court history* (*winner)

I spent lots of time chatting with the Nazi bot on Nazi dot com and giving ad revenue to the world’s richest Nazi in order to create these screenshots that you’ll hate. Enjoy

This is what Americans eat for every meal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slopper

Let's see where we are in the justice stakes, eh? - Johnson: big money ChatGPT articles for the Mail. - Cummings: consultancy, Substack prick - Hancock: consultancy, book, I'm a celebrity - Sunak: prime minister, big money advisor - Gove: editor at The Spectator - Mone: still has a yacht 🏆

I've just heard the American Football cover of Fade Into You and now I want to end humanity. Jesus christ, this so shit.

Incredible really that people are being told a mere fortnight before the event that they have been picked to attend Your Party conference. Most people I know who have been selected cannot actually go, because it turns out train tickets & two weekend-nights in a hotel is prohibitively expensive

Does Shabana Mahmood not realise that everyone she is trying to appeal to wants her to go back to where she came from?

For perspective their grand raising of the taxes AT THE MOST OPTIMISTIC ESTIMATE is only going to be able to bring in 1/6th of my local councils yearly spending budget. How many councils are there in England again?

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.
