The Streeting Resignation

Wes Streeting is far from being the only politician who is guilty of this, but it is always weird to me how you can write a paragraph on the challenges the world faces and not mention climate change.

It is my sincere belief that the word got twisted because most journalists (especially columnists) are posh.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Has anyone checked in with Rod Dreher?

Kemi Badenoch! Roger Scruton! MattGPT! Bari Weiss! Rod Dreher! Jair Bolsanaro! Howard from the Halifax adverts! JD Vance? You hear me JD Vance? Your boy took a hell of a beating! Your boy took a hell of a beating!

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

Just started watching The Lowdown and I’m pleased to see it has the good TV show yellow title card and the sepia colour grade.

this rocks

I've just had an amazing idea

How do you like it? I celebrate 50 years of More More More by Andrea True Connection in @thequietus.com You may have heard some of this story before, but not like this. So, let’s get the cameras rolling… thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

A reminder that if you are lauding a political movement based around "Travail, famille, patrie" then that's definitely not socialism and the complete opposite of traditional Labour values. Agitate, educate, organise.

Gonna post this clip of Cliff Richard as Heathcliff every day until he gets the recognition he deserves

Such an audacious try from Rhys Carre. Stick that fitness report up your arse Gatland

A story in two images:

Clang clang clang went the trollllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Labour quoting Hannah Spencer's victory speech.

Everyone deserves to serve in the military, even the very tall... this is the largest military I could afford. Should I, therefore, be made the subject of fun?

RIP to a real one

Been thinking about this all morning since the result was announced, and finally go round to making it

Matt Goodwin is an embarrassing idiot, and that he has ever been treated by our society in general with anything more than contempt and derision is a searing indictment of how opinion is formed in this country

also, concerning the outcome of Labour's "go fuck yourselves" strategy - we told you so, you fucking fools

This is a good point, and also makes it worth asking what Reform takes from this now that they have challengers that are way more online and further to the right, but also can’t really function if they become softer or more moderate

Once again every shitposter on the socials was yelling this at Labour and the response was "sorry I can't hear you over how smart and sensible I am you scum"

The bookshop owners of wherever it is Matt Goodwin lives will be licking their lips this morning

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

In order to convey the emotional toll of Welsh rugby, I present a thread… 🧵 I call it: “Photos of Dewi Lake looking like he’s just seen a murder” 1.

I’ve been saying this for a while now. The wealth gap is a mental health crisis. Unfortunately, the people in crisis have all the money and power

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

the whole point of left wing podcasts is that they listen to the right wing podcasts for you

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

Watching Mission to Space with Francis Bourgeois on Channel 4 and realised how much he sounds like someone doing an OTT impression of Keir Starmer

Ospreys fans: "Can we have professional rugby in Swansea?" WRU: "We have rugby at home" Rugby at home:

Further information on the NEU strikes at Arthur Terry Learning Partnership Since this letter was written it emerged that the top slice was actually 29% not 20%, which I corrected in the alt text.

Please pay attention to this very good dog and his sign.

The fact that he’s even a member of the Royal Society in the first place is an absolute credit to the PR people he has since fired

nothing more properly honors Scott's memory than a crude cartoon drawn incompetently by a plagiarism robot

Corruption should be legal so long as it's funny

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made
