Screaming at one of the likes on this

On episode 8 of Celebrity Traitors Kate Garraway walked into breakfast and immediately started talking about how she was obviously going to be the next to be banished, and actually manifested it happening. Don’t know what made me think of that.

The vibe of this is very Downing Street going "don't think of a pink elephant!" to the PLP except instead of a pink elephant it's a coup against Starmer.

The important story behind this story is that someone in Downing Street is having a breakdown:

Imagine British PM Wes Streeting, Dutch PM Rob Jetten and French PM Jordan Bardella........the doors Leo Varadkar has opened for the Eurogay community

I love the bit in that Guardian piece where a Streeting ally is like "to claim Wes is angling to replace Starmer is ludicrous. He is too busy being a stunning, hard-working, leaderly, NHS saviour. Did I mention the NHS saved his life too? Now there's a narrative! Anyway, he wouldn't dream of a coup"

We teach Wes Streetings to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to Wes Streetings: you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten Keir Starmer..........

this sounds so goooooooood www.youtube.com/shorts/ehkmx...

You've got to be kidding me. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Will be getting a lot of use out of this

So the Dundee branch can overrule the Edinburgh and Glasgow branches? On what basis? This is what happens to your brain when you OD on internal democracy.

THESE CHILDREN ARE 11!!!!

Most of the stories in this link are about Drag Race UK - a show that airs on the BBC! I'm sure there are lots of stories about The Traitors too. I find examples of radicalisation like this really worrying. How on earth are stories about drag queens an example of a chilling effect? Grow up.

Great rainy day jazz - all Beatles covers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awm_...

“Larry from Bristol” saying Trump has covered all his bases and the BBC will have to pay. Okay!

The concept of messaging Carl Cashman’s instagram followers to accuse them of homewrecking

The Straightio Lab podcast call-in show getting the question “what kind of role could win Charli XCX an Oscar?” and settling on the answer “M in a Bond movie or young Margaret Thatcher” is incredible content.

This has really pissed me off actually.

Why didn’t he depict the BBC as an animal? Why would hyenas be hunting three blocks? 🤔

Why is the Newsagents podcast set so vile looking

Pauline Kael:

Can’t recommend this recipe more highly. www.theguardian.com/food/2022/oc...

This inability to justify oneself in the grownup language of trade-offs and strategy - instead communicating solely through vague principle waffle - just makes you seem dishonest. If Reeves truly thought this, why has she kept the cap in place all this time?

not The Times doing mpreg cartoons.............we cannot let the other side of Bluesky find this

It's so funny that Your Party are using the vape colours for their youth wing posts.

Insufficient rigour, rather than ideological capture, seems to be to be the correct frame through which to view the BBC's failings. Inviting Sex Matters onto Woman's Hour isn't bad because they're a GC org....it's bad because they don't know what they're talking about! www.ft.com/content/676c...

Spoiler alert: the GNU parties will not smooth out their foreign policy differences. www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025...

The two child cap is a test of the government’s seriousness: if you are serious about child poverty, you lift it, and if you are serious about not wasting money, you don’t fritter away cash on dumb things like vouchers to try and manage the PLP.

The ANC Youth League is 14-35!

Okay enough BBC chat, let’s do an oldie. Fairytale of New York……homophobic?

I don’t actually think the BBC, for all its issues, has been captured by anti-trans ideology. Their coverage of the issue hasn’t been perfect but there is a reason they’re so hated by the gender critical crowd.

make one of those gays obsessed with East Enders the Director General of the BBC

She uses the word "impartiality" here, but what Sonia Sodha wants from the BBC Director General isn't impartiality at all.

Welcome to the BBC, Bari Weiss

I know for a fact that some of you soft left divas were in the Insane Town Posse during the Labour leadership race and at least one of you must have Lisa Nandy on WhatsApp.......please, intervene! Make her make the right choice!

It is bad that the director of the BBC has resigned over a scandal people only cared about because the mentally unwell President of the United States became fixated with it, and it then went viral on the website controlled by the world's richest man.

(Marginally) more people think REFORM would be best at handling the economy than think Labour would? Keir Starmer, my dear, if you don’t do something, and quick.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Very good example of how AI saves time for some people by dramatically increasing the time having to be spent by others. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The BBC should have values more similar to my own not because my values are good or correct but because lefty lib people like me are huge idiots who love the concept of the bbc and alienating us leave it with no defenders

Obviously right to criticise it when it makes mistakes but the BBC is broadly very good and British people don’t realise how lucky they are to have it.

Why is the culture brief so dour and miserable? They could do some really fun stuff there!

Just saw a “Grace Blakeley” post on here. What year is it? 2021??????

It’s not the most photogenic dish and apologies for the crosspost from insta but I made a vegetarian bobotie tonight and it was so good.

How can you not love the springboks

Two roads diverged…….

Watching the Springboks and I can't help imagine a scandalised Apartheid Minister of Sport saying “'n kommunis in die voorste ry!?!”

The image that launched a thousand rugby memes
