Piercing insights like this are why Johnny earns the big bucks.

The need for Leveson 2 never went away.

So let’s take this idea, that Starmer is driven, at face value. What is the drive in service of? What does he want? What does he want vindicated? If he’s cold and dismissive of his staff not because he’s purely an unpleasant prick, what’s it all for?

Hegseth kills children. That’s what child-killers do.

Where can these people have possibly got the impression Reeves is a soft touch who’ll let them have free rein, apart from everything she‘s ever said and done? You can see why they might be a bit surprised.

That famed Starmer decency on display again.

Good *clothes*? I’ve more sartorial sacks of shit.

Keir really did look at Mandelson’s long and well documented life of fucking people’s lives and careers and think, “not me, though”

Would Labour members have picked Sir Keir, if they had known he was Peter Mandelson’s candidate, led by the men who had directed the secret wrecking campaign? Probably not. Should the public have been told they were getting the Mandelson government in 2024? Maybe they should’ve been told that, yes.

Simultaneously infuriating and utterly discombobulating. These people talk a different language, live in a different universe to me, yet they hold the lives and wellbeing of me and mine in their filthy, sweaty, grasping little fists.

I’m confused as to what I’m supposed to think about Vladimir Putin. Is he some kind of omnipotent Blofeld figure or some blowhard loser who can’t even knock over Ukraine. Come on, propagandists, which is it?

Says a lot about him that he's still on twitter :/

Me reading Guardian journalists on Bluesky

How about this

We’ve been an economic and sociological laboratory since 1979, where the lab technicians were and are sadists and sociopaths. The creature lying on the slab ain’t pretty and was never going to be.

If the money’s woke now, Nige should boycott it by refusing to accept big piles of it from iffy sources.

The fact that the big naturals horse is being flogged *again* would suggest going through Polanski’s bins and past utterances hasn’t yielded anything more damning or interesting.

Not sure this lad’s got what it takes, kids. Loser energy whenever he’s pushed even a little bit. His mam never said “no” enough.

His predecessor famously had it in for squirrels and now the bungie jumper has got it in for badgers.

I’m all for this as it’ll give me time to reflect that I could be doing something better than watching fucking YouTube

Being close pals with a paedophile and sex trafficker sure is lucrative. Struggling millennials and Gen Zers take note.

Gentlemen, you can’t protest against the war here! There’s a war going on!

Enjoying Galatasary’s kit

this is good journalism by the guardian, which will be ignored by their politics people - the ones who go on tv and the radio. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Why would the Greens want them or need them?

Petition to get every one of these styles put into the Elden Ring character creator.

What’s that, the UK’s AI renaissance is built on bullshit and fraud? Find me people shocked by this and I’ll give you a pound for each one. I do not expect to be out of pocket. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

So Labour has a decision to make: address the very real fears of people of colour or continue to pander to the imaginary grievances of the far right. I wonder which way they’ll jump.

I don't know how to put it more simply than this: every myth we tell about ourselves, every pretence of mortality is being stripped bare. We are here because imperial "statecraft" collapsed Iranian democracy and our response to the result is to double down in a game of imperial whackamole.

Agents of a foreign power.

Starmer is a “decent“ man latest.

This is a feature of government policy across the imperial core and has been my entire life (I’m 55). Boris Johnson killing 250,000 lesser creatures with covid didn’t come as a total surprise to those of us who’d been around for a while.

This country is absolutely whipped. Arse kissers and boot lickers.

Oh god, they’re *my* age. I don’t want to watch them doddering around, all screaming knees and varifocals.

What’s the most worthless art form and why is it political sketch writing?

We have to accept that Osama bin Laden won.

Go outside and look at the stars. That’s how far away the nearest help is.

Friends are saying he’s farming runes like a bastard in Elden Ring because he’s terrified of even the little fellas.

Did Norman Geras die in vain?

The long 90s are loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong

Amazing. Like getting Fred West to help you fight your murderous urges.

Ain’t nobody pulling Labour out of this nosedive www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Consider: why is America, a country in North America, attacking Iran on the other side of the world? What right does the US have to bomb and attempt to destroy any country, anywhere on Earth? It has no right to do so. It’s doing it because it is governed by criminals.

I mean it’s not aimed at me and I don’t have Sky so there’s no chance I’ll come across it by accident but…

Top secrets meetings about national security and the first instinct of these jokers is to ratfuck each other. First and always. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Bad news for Shabana Mahmood’s pal

RIP to a real one
