💯 on 🎯

This is awful. Another former sub postmaster has died, still waiting for compensation for being wrongly convicted in the Post Office scandal. Parmod Kalia had his conviction overturned in 2021, 20 years after being sentenced to six months in jail after being falsely accused of stealing £22,000

I wrote about Kat.

People losing their shit about Churchill being taken off the £5 note. He’s only been on them since 2016. Performative, culture-warring, pseudo-patriotic bollocks.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

Here is a tale of ordinary misogyny. Except it isn’t. This man is a barrister who has been warned before, and who feels so secure, that he provides his chambers contact in his Twitter profile. Here is the Tweet, please follow the thread:

TDIF 🦴

The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...

Is there anything Reform UK politicians won’t u-turn on? Here’s Offord’s maiden speech about the importance of Net Zero when he was made a lord for services to donating money to the Tories: www.gov.uk/government/n... It was only 3 years ago.

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

This wins the internet today.

Good stuff going on on Threads

Principles of Boogie Management.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

I still think about this a lot.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK. Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

FACTS: Net Zero barely nudges your bill. Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof. So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

WTF?! Is he talking about targeting civilians?!

BBC going with bitter sarcasm for their main headline this morning. "Huge fire engulfs Kuwait City tower as Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won'"

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

SO good!

Nigel Farage is celebrating Reform UK shady donations, whilst jetting off to Washington. On the day MPs head to their constituency to do the job they were elected to do.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

Boris Johnson says Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage...

Trump is spending a billion dollars of your money every day in Iran on the most expensive fireworks show in history. That's a billion dollars per day that could be spent on giving yoiu health care.

I can't remember it word for word, but there's a German saying that works here. It goes something like: "If you have nine people at a bar and a Nazi sits down, and no one does anything, you have ten Nazi's at a bar".

“Churchill would be appalled by the kinds of things Trump says & does. But Fleet Street is happy to ignore history for the sake of some political point-scoring.” A history lesson for the hysterical UK far-right opp politicians & their client hacks from Alan Rusbridger archive.ph/2026.03.07-0...

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

What's the old proverb? Act in haste, repent in haste? Apparently he only noticed that 'Reform UK are “chasing headlines” rather than offering what he described as substance' after joining the Refukkers. News must reach Burnham-on-Sea slowly...

GB News has never made a profit because it doesn’t exist to make a profit. It exists to exert pressure to push broadcast news channels further rightwards. It is about further poisoning the information environment. That’s why it exists.

A brilliant letter from a Party leader who genuinely cares about the plight of humans struggling to make their lives even remotely palatable, to a Home Secretary who once shared the same sentiments. @zackpolanski.bsky.social… I salute you! Shabana Mahmood… what happened to you? 😱

Looks like The Express wrote the headline before the conference happened. It’s clear now that they were due to announce someone like Kate Hoey, and it didn’t happen, leaving them with a defector that no one knows. It’s embarrassing.

How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far: 🤣 🖕 👌 👎

@lbc.co.uk reporting that Shabana Mahmood wants to trial giving each failed asylum seeker £10k to leave within 7 days, so up to £40k/family. Funny how the BNP offered much the same as their 2010 election pledge... Labour going full fash was not on my scorecard for 2026. ... shorturl.at/yea0O 1/

📌 ICYMI — Revealed: The Staggering Amount of Time Nigel Farage has Spent on ‘Second’ Jobs Since Becoming an MP The Reform UK leader has logged more than 1,100 hours for 14 outside employers since his election in July 2024

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Well that's me smiling!

This is superb.

Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.

Migration is part of what makes this country great. We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours. The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

V good private eye this week

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The next few years will feature so, so SO many columns and Substacks by people claiming that things were going well and Labour just needed to 'stick with Morgan's plan'.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.
