Global elites over multiple years for some reason

Thought: surely this Epstein stuff would've failed security vetting for civil servants etc. But it's fine for banker types to do it despite the obvious risks

When it's your round

Credit to Brianna's mum who has campaigned for this small but important change, noting how her daughters welfare was affected by her phone habit

Exciting news in the world of rising minimum wage and stagnant wages

Has he considered bringing Mandelson back a fourth time

I'm not saying the Canadian Conservative Party are whiny but they're currently furious that their own MPs are leaving

It's been 16 months

Oh this is some vintage twitter stuff

My last word on the matter

It's easy to moan about things, but it's *remarkable* how I applied for a new passport a week ago and received it .. today

Fun how it could explode tomorrow and cause devastation on the Essex coast, or it could be there another century and never do anything

Writer types have gotten way too into 'lore' and 'cinematic universes' Just say a wizard did it and move on

Random Tuesday morning thought: still annoyed that Netflix totally butchered the ending of 'All Quiet on the Western Front'

Extremely funny that the gambling lobby is on the warpath about rising taxes on them and the threat of 'black market gambling' allegedly run by ... them

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Lol and furthermore lmao

Something v funny about commentators who do a shtick of 'oh London is Over, it's terrible', and go on to describe issues that affect every high street in the country

Beyond the obvious, I'd like* to see this guy seriously advocate for his enforcement of this policy. Is he going to set up an agency tracking four generations of every Brits family

Uk political parties keep trying to do youth branches, it's amazing. No matter how many times it ends in horrifying disaster

(Most obituaries are pre written, obviously. I believe Kissinger outlived several of his obituary writers)

I believe it was a big council initiative to install indoor toilets in many UK homes. In the 1970s

Congratulations new BBC Director General, Damien McBride

Do you think Mandelson could come back a fourth time

It is early in the morning, and there are few people about in this 1919 work by William Nicholson of the Cenotaph in London. It is the original white-painted wood and plaster structure designed by Edward Lutyens, it stands out in stark relief against the Foreign Office.

'Do you know what this song is grandad' 'Of course, it's the lesbian song' Quiz: what song was playing

Very alarming

Extremely funny news from Canada where the one (1) Canadian tory elected in Nova Scotia .. has defected to the Liberals, leaving Carney one seat short of a majority www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Wait are we meant to be shocked that a literal 100 year old man is a tad right wing

Quite funny that Pelosi was just a fantastic machine politician from the era of George W Bush, to Trump

(Lmao, the average London police officer salary is about £45,000 /$60,000)

Gobsmacking

Reading this, it's very good. Norman Scott has just adopted a great dane called Rinka who I'm sure he'll have a long and happy life with

These are from two elections lol - competitive elections drives turnout!

The New York election is actually a pitch perfect example of how multi party elections work: the 7% who went for Curtis Silwa were not lost or confused Cuomo voters! They deliberately opted out of that binary, presumably because they're strong Republicans/hate Cuomo

Parks and Rec remains fantastic, people pretend its bad because it commits the cardinal sin of being earnest

Much to consider

Eric Adams, traipsing sadly out of Gracie Mansion, carrying a cardboard box: 'Maybe ... new york is the new york of America'

I'm hearing that forces loyal to Eric Adams have seized the New Jersey turnpike and LaGuardia airport

Turnout figures from the New York mayoralty: I think Susan Hall really could do it, you know: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

As someone who does not live in America, let alone New York, let me reiterate again how the best option for me personally is Eric Adams. Years of entertainment, lost like tears in the rain

This sent me down on a rabbit hole of which Vice Presidents other than Cheney have actually shot men .. I think in recent history it's just Spiro Agnew who was at the Battle of the Bulge, and Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan hill, in Cuba?

Fun fact: Cheney is about as far from office now, as Nixon was when futurama debuted

Imagine being a notable local lawyer and money guy, and being best known for being shot by Dick Cheney

I have to say, I do feel for that random guy on the train whose only crime was .. being black? Like he was totally unrelated to events

A fun fact is that outside London and the central belt, virtually nobody travels to work by train. A total rarity!

This is so lovely, I had no idea Oldham created IVF - it's great to see towns celebrate their history and achievements www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is such a fun conspiracy theory, for people totally committed to a cause and have virtually no knowledge of it
