⚠️ BREAKING NEWS: Leave Nigel Farage Alone 🙏 Please watch and share the latest report from #BrokenNews youtu.be/X5Ifr4zGr-M

You can learn whether a venue in the middle of the countryside expects people to arrive by public transport or drive, when their tours are timed to start either half an hour after the bus arrives or a minute before.

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

In front of fans and kids taking photos, a Dallas police officer starts shoving staff members of the Egyptian national team here for the World Cup. At one point, he even reaches for his handcuffs. The video is already being shared internationally by news outlets.

You can make more money from a swear jar by putting the lid on really tight.

Overheard at the chemist. “Can I see the pharmacist? I think I’ve got a brain tumour. Also I think I have liver failure. But I went to the doctor and he said it’s hay fever.”

A senior UK judge recently told me that the reason senior courts in this jurisdiction never look at US Supreme Court case-law is that they regard it as so politicised as to be useless as legal analysis.

“Calling the Gaza genocide a ‘war’ is like seeing a man beating up a toddler and calling it a ‘fight’.” open.substack.com/pub/caitlinj...

'I see the massive satisfaction that our older workers get from training up young people'. At our recent event, CBI President Cressida Hogg shared an anecdote capturing the power of training young people. Catch up on the discussion here⬇️ buff.ly/5GRYv8o

Really pleased that Morgan McSweeney has finally discovered that it's better to prepare for government. Thanks for that mate, nice one. Lucky there wasn't a lot riding on it, or you'd really have fucked up inews.co.uk/opinion/hard...

Taylor Swift commentator on BBC News just said, "1,000 guests at a wedding is really huge". Indian mums everywhere roll their eyes.

1. Daniel Hannan, like Farage was found by the EU to be mis spending their money. They concluded that the eurosceptic group he helped set up had used public EU funding for events and projects that had "limited relevance or benefit to the EU" or violated funding rules.

Getting huge “starting revision the night before the exam” vibes here but I guess better late than never.

Clement Attlee making a timeless observation in 1934: "No one believes that when Sir Oswald Mosley talks about preserving the right to free speech he is really genuine in the matter. He preserves free speech just as long as it suits him."

Lisa Nandy clearing her desk in hope of a new job and discovering a weird wired basket with INTRAY written on it. What's this she thinks and starts to read the papers inside it...

feels like a Russian invasion is pretty much nailed on now

The Founders had a vision. It was that you could eat factory farmed deep fried food in your car.

Tommy Robinson Donation Point. #TeslaTakedown

Devolution: send the money and power to the places that know what to do with it. Fine. Except the watchdogs that checked the spending are gone; the Audit Commission scrapped, local papers shut by the hundred, council oversight has been gutted.

@feryalclark.bsky.social Why is our government still on this platform?

Also, "entrepreneur and rally driver" is very Bond villain, isn't it? Setting up for a brilliant car chase at the end.

it will be very exciting to see vance pope-splain canonical law to the pope

oh he on DRUGS drugs

The city of London is awash with Russian oligarch money. If Starmer/Labour were serious about defence they'd start there but touching the global capital behind the Russian military is something their corporate paymaster will not allow. Also Nigel & Chris are solid gold cunts.

Summary of the Home Office Impact Assessment for Asylum Bill is hilarious (if it weren't so depressing). HO analysts say "basically no evidence to suggest *any* of these policies will work *even on their own terms*" (but will probably cost money). assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a43e1...

Too many of us forget how much Jesus hated foreigners and the meek and the persecuted.

New bus stock - electric, clean, air conditioned, and with a charging point for every seat. You can keep your new fangled Andy. Sadiq will do for us humble London folk. @london.gov.uk

Happy Canada 🇨🇦 day to all who celebrate

"Carcinization" is a biological phenomenon: given time, across environments, many species turn into crabs. The body of a crab, with its low center of gravity, sideways gait (for evading predators), ease of concealment and protected organs is endlessly suitable: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcini... 1/

Some good news: a former refugee from Somalia who made Bristol his home 15 years ago, studied in the U.K. and represents his ward since 2021, pushing for improving local conditions, now fills the ceremonial role of Lord Mayor of Bristol.

There's no attempt to try and cloak the racism now. (Also Lord Mayors don't run cities and he knows that.)

After years of silence from the UK govt in the face of genocide and war crimes in Gaza, the Home Office is now moving the goalposts for Gazans trying to escape to safety. With the genocide ongoing and hundreds killed since the ceasefire, the UK must do all it can to support refugees from Gaza.

Media consultant David Worsfold said: “Yet again a tech giant proves that it can moderate and censor content its friends don’t like but won’t deal with the wide range of highly offensive, vile, outrageously false and manifestly dangerous content they host and promote.”

The satire writes itself here…

the joke going round is that Ukraine requested these be donated to Russia instead

Xx

Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔

Confusion over at Skydance, where they had been assured that the UK did not *have* a culture secretary.

Sick to death of the village vandals saying that only they can fix the burned down Scout hut

It’s important to understand that “consulted” in Home Office speak means “told people what we were going to do”, so I wouldn’t *necessarily* read this as having got Burnham’s approval for these grim proposals on repaying asylum support. But if he doesn’t act swiftly we can all draw our conclusions.

h/t @stevepeers.bsky.social (adding ALT-text in two tranches)

She should be representing Reform or Restore rather than Labour...

Why not? #socialmedia

Wow, that was truly amazing, the Strawberry Full Moon rising over Ely Cathedral this evening. Seen from Little Downham outside of Ely, Cambridgeshire 😍🌝 I didn’t think it was going to shine through the clouds, but it certainly did 🙏🏻🥰 #Fullmoon #strawberrymoon #ElyCathedral #amazing #Wonderful
