Balvinder #Strictly Keir Starmer 🤝 Somehow making it through another week

Curious appearance by a badly drawn Huw Edwards here

How many journeys is this guy taking?

Of all the British traditions I think the one I love most is that every couple of years we physically torture a Radio 2 DJ in order to raise funds for children in need. www.bbc.co.uk/live/cy7exkn...

BABY! Where the hell is my husband? I left him in the biscuit aisle now he's disappeared

This sets a troubling precedent imo

Mr President. You can have my answer now, if you like. My final offer is this: nothing.

Amusing to see 2 potato-faced individuals on Novara recently agreeing that Starmer has never been attractive.

When this country finally sees fit to install me as a benevolent military dictator, my first act of business will be to ban the use of the word "raid" in relation to tax stories. Second act - imprison Simon Jenkins.

You jest but this is already canon for the Corbynista guerrillas in the mountains

Two things seem to be true this morning - 1/ That the politics of breaking the manifesto pledge was too difficult 2/ Reeves has received much more optimistic forecasts, likely to he wage growth and inflation related The combination means they can reverse their plans

I follow a lot of very intelligent political journalists and commentators but unfortunately none of them have cottoned on to what I think is now blindingly obvious - namely that a young (and hot) Keir Starmer was recruited by the Tories in the 90s to destroy the Labour Party.

Big scoop by my colleagues, this:

This is now outside the paywall, please do read and share

BBC Breaking: BBC has said Chair Samir Shah has sent a letter to Trump to apologise for the edit of the President’s speech. Also: “While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim.”

Re: Epstein’s emails

I've got a few.

Now Michael Prescott should probably apologise to the BBC for misleadingly editing Trump's words to make it look bad.

"have you finished that resignation statement yet?" #EdEats

I have had to pop over to X to stop you posting that bloody Guardian screenshot about Starmer

Truly beautiful insane tweet

Bloody hell Gav!

If anyone has any sense of the history of why the Act of Union happened they should be very, very unfuckingcomfortable with this turn of events.

I need the most Canadian story you have. No that's too Canadian.

Given the Scottish government’s limited tax raising powers investors will want to know what’s under it.

A Scottish Bond isn't a new idea

There's "wearing an army surplus beret and pretending you were in the Paras" and then there's whatever the fuck this is. www.lbc.co.uk/article/admi...

I saw Ancestral Voices play at Reading in 93. They were on just after Shampoo on the Melody Maker stage.

Lib Dems for Miliband: “Two Eds Are Better Than One”

2011 - In the Situation Room, President Obama oversees the attempt to capture Osama bin Laden 2025 - In the Situation Room, President Trump attempts to convince a woman who was thrown out of Beetlejuice: The Musical for allegedly wanking off her boyfriend, to not vote to release the Epstein files

We all laughed at the Milifandom but they were playing a longer game than us

You guys wanna see a dead body?

At risk of sounding desperate (also, WHY ARE ALL THE JOURNOS STILL ON X) - if you're a TV / history writer or podcaster and fancy doing something on Season II of #AThousandBlows and the true history of 1880s boxing and boxers, get in touch. Disney PR aren't likely to put me forward for things again.

This is everything I want a chocolate cake to be: squidgy, cocoa-rich, and as good for after dinner as at teatime. It’s also easy to make and, as it happens, vegan, not that you’d guess it. Yes, #RecipeOfTheDay is my Dark and Sumptuous Chocolate Cake! www.nigella.com/recipes/dark...
