Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

If the answer is Sue-Ellen Braverman, then you’re probably asking the wrong question.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

Labour should be looking at the USA, what years of appeasement and trying to find middle ground on how best to build anti-migrant laws delivers, and reconsider their Reform-lite political agenda. When Reform rise to power and their own ICE is being built - Labour and the Tories laid the first stone

Us Brits shouldn't be complacent, by the way. Look at the way Starmer has been labelling Palestine protestors terrorists. Do you think he'd stand up for them if the Met executed them in the street or do you think he'd defend the Met and talk about domestic terrorism?

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible. It leads on "sharply contested narratives" It has a dramatic skew to the US government It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

A story in two parts. Part One. Part Two.

A quiet message for anyone struggling today.

Whatever else you do, you have to live.

Can only assume this is just a typo, and they are all declaring to be ‘Bored of Peace’.

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

I can’t even with this headline, never mind the actual story 🚌🚌🚌🚌💩⚽️⚽️⚽️

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less.

New not-news news

Jesus wept what the fuck is happening to this country metro.co.uk/2026/01/14/t...

Actual scenes in Greggs where the butthurt meat/anti woke lobby has forced this bafflingly stupid change.

Welcome to America now.

Everyone who isn't condemning the US this week, Starmer included, is complicit in the next attack - no matter what form that takes. They're the ones who've told Trump he can do whatever he likes.

Nobody could have predicted this.

Human rights lawyer my hole

So can Scotland choose to run England until we figure out what’s going on? That’s how it works now right?

C’mon now. It’s not like Starmer knows about the law or anything. His father was a toolmaker.

Tomorrow I expect it will be ‘unanimously’ renamed to <Donald Trump’s New Venezuela>

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

So they've kidnapped the leader of another country and western leaders are just... chill with it?

Some wizardry going on with #thetraitors as a time-travelled Patrick Grant has managed to sneak into the cast

2026 is the year of the what? (🐎)

Ever have three songs come on back-to-back when playing on shuffle and think you’ve accidentally stumbled into your own funeral?

When you’re mid being-abducted-by-aliens but have the chance to grab a snack for the trip:

As ever the New Year’s ‘Honours’ list makes me realise I wish more people had the gumption to tell them where to shove their gongs.

So Boris Johnson, Prince Phillip, Andrew Bonar Law, Freddie Mercury, George I, George II, Richard E Grant, Douglas Carswell, Rudyard Kipling, Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley and Spike Milligan weren't British? Interesting www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

With the death of Bardot, the world's racists have become significantly less attractive.

Couldn't get a shuffle on could it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No.

Humans are well and truly fucked aren't they.

The Clash of the Titans (1981) really is a fantastic, and endlessly-watchable movie. Not just for a young Harry Hamlin, though that too.
