Exactly the right response. Don't feed the troll.

Following the revelations on the Widdicombe affair, has Tommy Ten Names or Zia Yousuf demanded that all white men be rounded up and interned yet?

What an appalling example of management incompetence. Anyone in a formal meeting should have the legal right to be accompanied. Treating her as they did should IMO be treated as gross misconduct. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Absolutely Spot on.

This is Brilliant! You have to listen to this 😂

£arage was defined as the juice left in the bottom of an emptied bin. The Clacton by-election could therefore be described as a faceoff between Count Binface and C*nt Bin Juice.

@countbinface.bsky.social Have you sorted out your merch? I'd like to suggest a tee/polo shirt with 'Vote Binface' or 'Vote Binface, Vote often' on the front. All profits from the sale to charities supporting Asylum Seekers. As long as it comes in XXXL I'll also buy at least one. Anyone else?

Anyone else fancy seeing what the Man next Door was saying during £arages spech? @michaelspicer.bsky.social

Why limit it to solar panels? Allow energy efficiency loans for Insulation, solar panels, heat pumps, Air Conditioning, EV charge points. Cost secured against the property. Saves the Government doing it, plus improves the housing stock. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Redistribute the wealth generated by vast private assets (not work) or lose democracy to Farage & co youtube.com/shorts/-EabK...

Worth a listen.

Finally, someone has noticed. we don't have a pension crisis, people not getting one just don't want to pay a reasonable amount for one.

Notifying by app is all well and good, but my local trust doesn't seem to understand emails and texts. I don't need a letter posted, then delivered late, send it by email! Or at very least, give me that option! I'm sick of letters arriving after the event. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child. Some fucking ceasefire.

How about we institute a new fee for Data centres wanting to connect to the grid to offset some of this? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Once again, a company who moan about the cost every time the min. wage goes up, gives individuals ludicrous amounts of money in return for doing the job they are paid a salary for. It's odd how, say Occado staff never get a bonus if profits increase, just the CEO. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Worth a watch, the whole thing is on YT.

Just do it. Call his bluff. He is irrational, forcing him to put up or go home will prove it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

🚨 Fire every 5 hours. Cheap goods from online marketplaces are causing deadly UK fires, but tech bosses are making a killing due to a loophole that lets them dodge our safety laws. Act now to protect our homes! 🧵👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Its interesting that Grade says GB News is a news station (yet GB News claims it isn't), yet doesn't see its adherence to a single political viewpoint is problematic. The station should be forced to remove 'News' from its name (or preface it with 'Right Wing'). www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

A small change in benefit regulations, to make any payments following notification to DWP of a change in circumstances, to be 'official error', would prevent these (& many other) pointless tragedies. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

This video is an attempt to explain the parliamentary processes being used to give the EHRC guidance legal status and why I think they are a problem in themselves. Am sure it’s not perfect but I hope it’s helpful in trying to navigate the acronyms and actions being taken.

Aside from who is right & wrong in the wider context, it's interesting to me that Iran seems to be doing more about Israel breaking the Lebanon ceasefire agreement than the rest of the world. Aren't they supposed to be the bad guys?

Let's put Faraday cages* around cinemas, theatres, libraries, etc. If it's so important that you have a phone signal, stay outside. *phone signal blockers www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...

If you don't know the name Cory Doctorow, but use the Internet, you really should read this article. Please.

Worried that nobody seems to have read Catch 22 in this thread.

Please listen. He makes a lot of sense.

It would be helpful here to know what the sentencing guidelines for the judge are in these sorts of cases. Was a custodial sentence available? www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Compare and contrast this with what Trump is currently claiming and saying. History will not be kind to him (& I suspect he knows it).

This is a silly debate. The logical way to tax EVs has always been per mile driven. Charging 2 different rates for electricity as fuel is potty. Technology exists to recognise individual cars when plugged in, so reading odometers shouldn't be that different. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Be a god damn tragedy if this were to spread

How does it cost $13 million to repaint a pool? You could astroturf it for less, surely? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Please note why the red cord must never be tied up.

Why don't we make datacentres generate their own electricity? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is profoundly worrying. Deceiving a jury by omission is still either not allowing them to come to a verdict knowing all the facts, or moving the goalposts. In either case, it's not what I would view as British Justice, regardless of the merits of the case. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Can we spare a moment to think about all the poor Polling Station staff up and down the country, patiently explaining to angry white men why they can't vote for Nigel Farage in their local council elections today?

Well worth repeating often.

When I vote next week, my 1st thought is the policies, which will lead me to a Party/Parties. Then I will look at the Party candidates, will they be a good representative for me & my ward? Then I put my X. I'm amazed at how many people seem to stop at step 1.

For any government body to refuse appeals against their decisions is appalling, but when arguably the most incompetent and error-prone Department in British government (already responsible for enormous past errors) does it, it is inexcusable. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

SIL is a teacher. On a school trip out, her kids have been plotting how they would assassinate both our PM & the US President (don't ask). Regardless of the merits, their name for the latter 'job' is brilliant. Operation Trumpity Bumpity!

I'm old enough to remember shopping involving me telling the staff what I wanted and them handing it to me in exchange for £. The rise in shoplifting is partly due to shops reducing staff numbers and relying on the honesty of customers for increased profit. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

That new wine waiter job didn't go quite as I had expected. Whats in a Molotov cocktail anyway?

Excellent satire.

Not for a minute suggesting Mr Starmer comes out of this well, but doesn't Mr Robbins think that 'an “atmosphere of pressure”, Robbins repeatedly emphasised, marked by “constant chasing” by No 10' would be one of the main reasons he received such a generous salary?

With all these perfectly timed stock market bets on oil and stuff surrounding Trump's announcements, where does all that money come from, as in, who loses all these millions? Anyone? And should we care?
