If they'd lost in 2024 then McSweeney would be long gone and nobody would look at his plans. This is like a Chelsea manager prepping for next season if he doesn't make Europe. If true (and it probably isn't) this isn't the worst thing he did, but it might be the most incompetent.

Coppers are so immersed in their filthy day-to-day environment that they're genuinely surprised that civilians object when they encounter it.

When Lin Yu Ting passed the new IOC sex test, Mumsnetters claimed they must've done it wrong, they *knew* she was "really a man" b/c they claim they could see a penis bulge in her shorts, even though if she had the intersex condition they claimed, even a doctor looking at her naked wouldn't see one.

I finally made it to the Great American State Fair. The columns on this fake building are something to behold.

They should bring back hanging for the most serious whale crimes.

Jesus. 68,900 reported missing in Venezuela.

Not to labour a point, but this is not a "new scheme", or a "Canada style scheme". It's an existing scheme which has been around for years that Labour are just tweaking, and is designed to take responsibility for supporting people seeking safety away from the state. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"I regret not fighting in a war crimes meat grinder that ruined more than one nation." What the fuck is wrong with you, you freak?

I mean, they obviously meant to do this.

(1)From this (v.useful) round up of Westminster opinions on what Andy Burnham's appointment of James Purnell means - the Labour Right pretty open about pretending to be leftish to get elected, then ditching any policies- even after this "lying" plan crumbled under Starmer .

The new guy is always smart, talented and brilliant. Exactly the new broom the country needs! Until they aren’t, and they are obviously useless idiots we need to get rid of. Nobody is ever wrong about anything, at any point between these positions, and none of this ever teaches any wider lessons.

"LGB-no-T" campaigner Julie Bindel says she'd BAN pride if she could, in order to protect children from predatory gay men. Absolutely fucking appalling. A whole column — "A Pride of Perverts" — going on like this. TERFing really cooks the brain.

For those who struggle with the geography, Netanyahu's primary political rival wants to annex the orange

Well, no. Not really. spectator.com/article/burn...

🔴 NEW 🔴 Farage, Badenoch and a bunch of MAGA leaders have been preaching to the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship this week. Among the major themes has been the apparent need to drill more fossil fuels. It turns out the conference is funded by oil companies, as well as Trump and Reform donors.

and the answer is... not really!

What 'baseline human comfort' are you willing to give up, you cunt?

What's that? Employers all agree that we definitely don't need workplace safety legislation and that everything will probably be fine if we just leave it to each local boss to come up with ad hoc solutions? I'm shocked.

Graphic design is my passion.

Elon Musk is apparently going with "the Lancet study that proved I am responsible for the deaths of millions of children was concocted by the evil Jewish puppet master." Because Elon Musk is ideologically a neo-Nazi.

Good thread. But Brexit wasn't merely the result of liars lying. It was because economic stagnation encouraged people to believe those lies, and a corrupted public sphere meant that they weren't exposed. chrisdillow.substack.com/p/lessons-of...

“Here is another example of a crazy pro-algae (likely paid) protestor.”

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

It's courageous for any victim of sexual abuse to go to trial, but when your abuser is a man as powerful as Jeffrey Donaldson, it is on another level. Solidarity to those women today

While browsing Airbnb's I came accross this place where the host 'Dave', an ex school head teacher, absolutely berates anyone who leaves even a 4* review 😅🤦. Will post some of the reviews and responses in this thread below 🍿😅

If it was just the far left and far right that hate the guy, then he wouldn’t have to resign now

🇳🇱 Mike Teunissen on why he considered skipping the 2026 Tour de France 🗣️ "Pogacar could win ten stages this year if he wants to. There is very little left for the sprinters, but even less for the classics riders." 📰 domestiquecycling.com/en/news/poga... 📸 Cor Vos

The unanimous bipartisan consensus in American foreign policy is that Israel needs to have the right and ability to launch airstrikes on any target they wish within 500 km at any time for any reason, and that this is a foundational bedrock for achieving regional peace and stability.

In the US it just killed a few 100k people who relied on aid programs and helped screwworm to re-establish in Texas cattle. Farage tried it on local government in the UK and he had to fire the guy who led it when he admitted they hadn't found the waste to cut. It didn't work. It won't work.

Trevor Francis showed more dignity than this when saying "But it's my birthday" as he got sacked.

I am of the controversial opinion that nobody should be exploiting tragedies or acts of stochastic violence to incite further violence and that instead the state should be using its ample resources to combat the cynical actors who do so, and to marginalise and toxify the ideologies they represent.

Labour is throwing voters under the bus on immigration, but it's not the ones that Long means and it won't ever be enough to satisfy her.

The National Security Minister of Israel tweets "All of Lebanon must burn. [...] All of Lebanon must burn. [...] For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. [...] You need to obliterate. To crush the terror." Germany and the Czech Republic oppose sanctioning him.

I’m sorry, no. This is not the guy who did the reflecting pool. No. Come on. We’re just putting a hat on a hat here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

I assume Blair has already written this same article for a British audience.

The implication of this "New York Times" headline is that "goy" is simply a slang term used by Generation Z now, no longer attached to antisemitic implications. I think this is not only wrong, but rather dangerous for the newspaper to be printing.

It took 250 years but American cops finally racially profiled a white guy

"There's a lot of people who have a lot of opinions, but when you prove them wrong, you don't have to say shit to them. Nah, they don't deserve it" – Jalen Brunson

Politico: The Times "has added a note to its story that claimed Ed Miliband had been “ghosting” Starmer as relations between the pair frayed." "The correction said a call at the center of the story was 'rescheduled by mutual agreement' because [Miliband] was on bereavement leave" after his mum died

No they aren't.

English law is not my forte but “causing annoyance” does not suggest “threats and abuse”, to me. Perhaps we need a new offence of “badgering your MP about things he finds silly and tiresome”.

Herve Renard standing on a veranda in the French Riviera, ironing an identical linen shirt to the one he’s wearing. A phone rings in the distance, a conversation happens in the background. A beautiful woman in a negligee approaches him from behind “you have a call” “Who this time?” “Tunisia”

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?" Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

I can only assume these guys just wanted to get down to the pub early, because they were obviously going to get seen off in record time. Absolutely fuck 'em.
