can't believe we've gotten to the stage where "the good old days" means 2001

nothing like a big fuck off sneeze to wake one up in the morning

every day we wakeup to more stupid bullshit from this gov on migration

not a bad place to start when looking for PEP (Progressive except Palestine) reps to primary

ian wright is a national treasure in spite of his having played for arsenal

you gotta give it to him, when he's right he's right.

you want to make the mayor of london the de facto president?!?

scrolling the uk parliamentary petitions and what the fuck

hey so culture secretary why don't we just add a photo to our NI numbers instead of inventing a whole new ID system?!?

The real political parties in UK are perhaps not the nominal ones. Regardless of supposed affiliation of ministers, Treasury will always push for certain policies, MOD will always push for certain policies, etc. Each department has their agenda. And the Home Office will always push for ID cards.

the problem with all the immigration talk related to britcard is that i don't think it's simply a rhetorical tactic from this gov to win over a skeptical public. and i worry about what future potentially even more illiberal govs will do with such a system.

kids won't know which culture they belong to and will grow up confused and lonely! - an actual argument that was used against inter-racial marriages

newstronomy (the science of figuring out why scotus memes are being re-posted)

interesting that the bbc opened the comments under their article on farage's proposal to get rid of indefinite leave to remain. the comments seem to be broadly against the proposal which is nice i guess

it's so funny to me that when i was a kid i was probably playing on my psp at the same time as the man utd team were playing 5v5 SOCOM. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

it is remarkable the extent to which the modern american republican party and the taliban are fellow travellers

zohran's first misstep (throwing in with the enemy)

i could not give less of a shit about the corbyn/sultana drama. come back to me when you have a platform. in the meantime i like what Polanski is doing with greens.

united failing upwards

it's fine to be racist against the french. honestly! no really go treat yourself.

moved back to the uk yesterday, love this place

the terrorism act 2000 defines terrorism pretty broadly and includes actions that "involve serious damage to property"

forget the millenial pause we need to talk about the gen X ellipsis. why are you ending your text messages with ... ? what are you hiding?

my plan to employ infinite monkeys to write the entire corpus of human knowledge past and present grows less economically viable by the day. thanks trump

"Sridhar, why do you crank out so many jokes making fun of people who've died, often horribly?" They're in Heaven. It's called punching up.

trump will become even more paranoid now

there's a cool chris spargo vid on how brits spend an average day where he says 64.5% of brits are asleep at 11pm and 90.8% by 12:30am. so around 3 in 4 britons were asleep when that was posted.

my skeet about kirk, which was critiquing the reaction to his death from the especially hystrionic corners of X, and not an expression of anything else, was taken down. shame

god willing i shuffle off this mortal coil without knowing what a kpi is

may you live in interesting times. not personally ofc there's nothing going on there i meant world historically interesting lmao

one of the things that endears me to @zackpolanski.bsky.social is that he does give the impression that he likes and enjoys being the leader of the green party.

remarkable that maurice glasman saw the mandelson news and thought, how can i make this about <me>?

i wonder when this labour gov is going to start calling reform woke

greens on the march, but they have a ways to go yet to challenge labour in the capital. nice to see ref+con down by 5% points over the last week.

protip: the sfw content on porn sites isn't actually safe for work

phillipson is an interesting choice for deputy leader because both her and miliband seem to exemplify the soft left approach to a labour gov. starmer's unfavourables haven't rubbed off on them.

@pfrazee.com thank you for bookmarks, are drafts in the works?

chris spargo is the yin to tom scott's yang

the year is 2139, american president barron trump III's attempt to pivot to asia is thwarted after israel bombs a series of asda car parks around the m25, citing intelligence reports of hamas activity.

forgot the link lol youtu.be/39-b3TjlxlQ?...

listen to this smooth slice of broken beat niceness from london

good to see someone from the governing party understands the warping effect X has on not just right wing politics but politics writ large in the uk

Shabana Mahmood looks like a wallace and gromit character (complementary)

why won't the government let me huff my laughing gas in peace ffs

just about to settle into a film at the cinema. i hope my phone doesn't go mental in the next couple hours

nothing like watching a chubbyemu video to make me regret taking an ice cream out of the freezer, or put the fear of god into me about moving my neck too fast and fucking dying
