If it wasn’t for my grandad we’d be speaking German. He was an _awful_ modern languages teacher.

Didn’t sleep that night. Every minute there was another gag.

Starmer should be asked about this repeatedly till he confirms or denies the claim

“i’ve got a message here from Joe Maplin, and these are his words not mine…”

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

Solidarity with TfL and London Underground workers in @RMTUnion facing deportation after their jobs were reclassified as “unskilled”. There’s no such thing as unskilled work, just low-paid work. What a disgraceful way to treat migrant workers who keep London running.

Remembered this one, where everyone fully understood McCluskey was referring to Peter being corrupt as fuck - you see now that they all knew this was correct - but the lads were having so much fun squealing in terror, they just figured Fuck It and went with it anyway metro.co.uk/2020/10/20/u...

Woodward: (crashing through the door, reading frantically off printer paper) Carl, Greta Thunberg just posted a photograph of herself on Instagram sitting next to a stuffed octopus Bernstein: (taking feet off desk, putting down coffee cup) My god

And  #OTD in 2002, this happened... 😬

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

Solidarity with Diane Abbott, who has faced disgusting sexism and racism (misogynoir) for the crime of being a black woman in possession of brains and opinions, from across the political class including from the disgusting laddish culture that Starmer has so pathetically cultivated in Labour.

I can't tell you just how feeble, artificial and embarrassing the foundations of modern British far rightism are. It is literally just copy paste internet Americana with fish and chips and football shirts.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Here's part of Peter Mandelson's birthday message to "my best pal" Jeffrey Epstein.

Little known fact, but all phones have a little speaker at the top that you can hold to your ear. It means you can have a private conversation without the whole world listening to it

BREAKING: Six more Palestinians, including two children, have died of starvation and severe malnutrition in the Israel-blockaded Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, says Gaza’s Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/g8ol3s

Poster idea for Sun-Maid Raisins.

If you're gonna crib Joe Haldeman, give him credit.

Trump depicts himself as a commander in the Vietnam War in his threat of violence against an American city -- a war the coward ran away from when his daddy's doctor friend gave him a fake "bone spurs" diagnosis.

Going to confuse a few people.

GIFs? oh yes…

gIFs?

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole". (It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

Did anybody else go to this? Just found the poster. 2002 as I recall. Loads of Rebel merch. It was fabulous. "get that thing outta my 'ouse."

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

When is…

As Yvette Cooper pushes forward new laws to make it harder for child refugees to get safe passage to join their parents in the UK, here's a picture of her from 2020 campaigning for the complete opposite.

Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities

Hi friends I did some writing. Please check it out and if you like it please share it about? It's so hard to get things out there. edgetrinkets.co.uk/2025/09/01/a...

Executive editors of newspapers pretending to speak for the ‘white working class’: speaking as one of ‘them’, get fucked.
