If I was in a care home doing a version of the game of murder and banishment, and was only being reassured nobody was going to be banished, I might try and pull a piece of heavy furniture in front of the door

It's bad enough when you order from Papa Johns you can never be sure where your pizza is going to end up. Now you can worry where the evidence of the people you've been consorting with will go, too.

I'm reminded of my aunt and her friend. Both long term French residents, fluent in French but native English speakers. On the phone trying to explain something to a French authority. My aunt: "Alors: ça c'est 'A' pour 'Apple'". Aunt's friend; "No Lilly. C'est 'A' pour 'Pomme'!"

Shirley Manson here with this week's obligatory Part Of #totp When Your Mum Walks In

The entry to the Mexican restaurant (Don Julio) in my hometown of Forest Lake MN that closed as a result of ICE has become a shrine. Two-thirds of voters in Forest Lake supported Trump in 2024.

The listeners were the grandparents of people who listen to Jenrick talking about Birmingham

This is alarming, as my local Reform councillor insisted that without X, there are some residents who West Northamtonshire are completely unable to communicate with

There's lots of interesting responses to this thought, but I'm quote tweeting it because who knew when Come Out 2nite was being played on the Peel show that the lead singer would end up in charge of one of the nation's cultural touchstones?

Just come on shuffle "When a woman learns to walk, she's not dependent anymore." A line from her letter - May 24 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBDe...

The universe is calculated to be 13.79 billion years old. Some scientists reckon its got 10↑78 years still to run. At no point in that vast expanse of time the answer to this question has been, or ever will be, 'yes'

every US government post is like "we have exterminated the liberal war on the mcrib and our natural virility" and then there's a photo of a beautiful ai generated woman made of mcribs

I had a dream where someone was telling me I'd been so drunk last night that he "had to carry your grease for you" and although I have no idea what that meant I might start using it when I've wound up having to do someone else's job for them

For a man who believes only he can stop bad people coming into the UK, Farage is awful at stopping bad people coming into his party

So the message of this press conference is that Robert Jenrick thinks the Tory party killed Britain, but he might have stayed in it had Kemi Badenoch not read his secret speech.

Do like the slightly peevish overtone of "it's brash... even for Preston Street" here

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’ “A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles” BELGIAN WHISTLES

"What if - hear me out - Mr Bumble was actually the one in the right? And we're even adding one other thing."

I can never remember - was he the guy who used to turn up, knock things over going "blobby, blobby, blobby" all the time?

Leonardo DiCaprio has stopped using Wikipedia.

While everyone else is making Traitors memes with Jenrick in them, CCO - with its finger ever on the pulse of popular culture - are working up a hilarious Kemi-as-Sugar You're Fired gif

"You can tell I'm a good leader because I'm sacking a member of my shadow cabinet who has for weeks been secretly plotting to leave the party I'm leading" is it?

Being on X for "the news" is like swimming downstream from the sewage works for the health benefits. Sure, you'll pick up something but probably not what you're expecting.

The Faithfuls: We must watch closely at the Roundtable in case one of The Traitors has some sort of tell Stephen: *shades from apple white to bright crimson as discussions progress* Faithfuls: Nope, not seeing anything Stephen: *dances around in a green cloak* Faithfuls: They are so good at hiding

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimised by the January void

Wait, Billy Idol's up for an Oscar? Sadly not for the song with the lyric "ghb and gbh/ I’ve kissed some girls and smoked some h"

I feel obliged to share this masterpiece from my brother:

Trump said he'd bring inflation down. Just didn't say where.

It's a pretty big loophole if having other functions lets companies off the hook - simply add a calaculator function to your Creep-app, and wahey, no ban for you. Absolutely witless.

This is a terrible analogy, because it would appear to suggest that Badenoch wouldn't have a problem with nightclubs selling heroin to customers, providing the kids are kept out. Or possibly that she doesn't understand that nightclubs also have laws governing what they offer their adult patrons

"Kneecap supporters" sounds like something you get in the NHS hosiery catalogue

We're only a step away from coppers asking ChatGPT who did the crime

I'm so glad they corrected that, the earlier alert gave completely the wrong impression capitalising the D in digital

Thing is, it does seem that this is just council rules clashing with acceptable but non-standard techniques, but oh god "what we have done is something different" sounds like a greasy spoon trying to justify keeping the sausages under the dog blanket www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
