The Jenrick/Farage fallout will be fun. Hard to pick a side, mind. Like being offered a choice between a hair sandwich & a toenail-topped panini.

"We're not like other parties, and I won't tolerate disloyalty," says Farage, as he introduces a cabinet that is 50% disloyal people from another party. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

Zack Polanski, "When Nigel Farage says jump, Labour ask, how high. You will never appease the right, they will just get more extreme" "In Reform UK we see an extreme political party"

It's hard to believe adults still believe this shit.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Labour took votes for granted. They've blown it. Green Party want to lower bills, protect our NHS and rebuild our public services. Vote Green - and stop Reform. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The death of Twitter, beautifully articulated by the legendary Stewart Lee. Catch this full episode of The Trawl anywhere you get your pods ✌🏾

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Remember when things changed their names but nothing REALLY changed?

Funny how all the righties who revere the "are country's good old days" don't seem to understand what was good about them, and how those things have been dismantled and sabotaged by the very political types they think are their new friends.

Lots of love for my walking interview with 5 News. Funny thing is: we just walked around London, saw lots of smiling people - and somehow the mythical “no-go zones” never appeared. youtu.be/VeSrh7HN2lo?...

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.

He's not Hitler. He's Caligula.

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

Former Tory MP Craig Williams turned up at Southwark Crown Court today (Jan 20). He and more than a dozen others are facing charges over illegal betting linked to the timing of the 2024 general election - and he’s trying to get the case thrown out.

TL;DR: Arsehole joins arsehole party

I do wish some sktech comedy stars would do something taking the piss out of all these podcast types with their enormous penis-substitute microphones. It's a look crying out for having the piss taken out of it.

Spent half an hour working with T-Mobile to remove a $2 charge for a service we do not use. 30 minutes. Not exaggerating. I am looking at the final call length. Incredible. This is how they get you.

Comparing Trump to a toddler isn't fair. Toddlers can be smart and grow up.

If "Greenland belongs to its people" and there are only 56,000 of them, surely the US could buy it from them. Musk could probably buy it from them. But let's face it, the idea that "Greenland belongs to its people" is an absurd posture to adopt, because anything that belongs to you, you can sell.

Anyone who's challeneged by not understanding what Trump's done in Venezuela can use the thought experiment of China kidnapping the leader of Taiwan using military force. Or Putin kidnapping Zelenski. Trump is pure evil, and his enablers are international criminals.
