That’s one hell of a costume… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC. My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

"What binds Polanski and Mamdani is not only their left-wing credentials, but their rejection of political cynicism." Let's go! 🎉 www.europinion.uk/post/how-zac...

Ive never been slow to criticise the Reach plc media for their awful clickbait headlines. But this is another level. They know exactly what they're doing with this headline, and it is horrible, divisive and dangerous. Shame on them.

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

▪️ If it's an immigrant... "See!" ▪️ If it's not an immigrant, but they're not white (or don't have a white British name)... "See! Next generation of immigrants!" ▪️ If it's a white guy with a British name... "See! See what these immigrants made good peaceful people do?!"

Who made this? Brilliant.

Dominic Cummings pushed for Covid tech contracts to be handed to a company run by a Trump-supporting billionaire after holding a secret meeting with him alongside Boris Johnson. Officials were lobbied to ignore official procedures and bypass ministers in order to get the contracts signed

Pass it on.

It's not just immigrants he hates. It's women. It's poor people. It's Disabled People. He even hates the people who vote for him, just like Trump.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I don't know who to credit this image to, but anyway, they got the price wrong. That 2/9d should read £122 million

This is the most brilliant description of Trump that I have seen.

Russia's goal is the extermination of the Ukrainian nation. All the stuff about NATO and the EU parroted by Farage and Corbyn is propaganda designed to deceive Westerners. Russia's intermediate aim is a 'peace' deal which will leave Ukraine unable to resist a further invasion.

Explains everything.

Farage: epic grifter

Rory Stewart, "Trump is destroying the global order. Trump is on Putin's side" "Trump wants a deal, a pro Putin deal. Putting Ukraine and Europe in a vulnerable position" "I'm worried we'll get a repeat of what he did in Gaza. He will declare peace and victory when it really isn't a peace at all"

“A Led By Donkeys spokesperson said: “It’s good the police now accept it’s not illegal to project a film about Donald Trump’s close relationship with America’s most notorious child sex trafficker on to a wall.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

Fascinating new study 📊 "Just over half of people (51%) do not agree with Ofcom’s current rules which allow politicians like Nigel Farage, who has a prime-time show on GB News, to front their own TV programmes." https://bit.ly/47u0A1Y

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

#NoKings Miami!

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

British.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

‘I was stopped by police while driving my silver Bentley stuffed with cash and I told them I’m a journalist’

This is really neat. Would have saved me 3 stays in hospital and a lot of rehab when I came off my bicycle a few years ago.

Hahaha

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

🚨BREAKING: The metropolitan police arrest a man for carrying a copy of our magazine. This is a threat to both journalism and freedom to protest

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

Given Kemi Badenoch has supposedly renounced Trussonomics, there’s an awful lot of multi-billion pound tax giveaways, predicated on *extremely* optimistic cuts and savings. Almost as if she knows she’s never going to have to try to actually deliver any of this.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
