Insiders say that Starmer kept Streeting waiting outside his office for 15 minutes first, invited him to come in but not to sit down, looked at him for 30 seconds straight and then just told him to fuck off.

Thinking about booking 2 weeks leave in order to follow around Chris Mason and Beth Rigby as they go about their business shouting asinine questions at them. “Going into M&S Chris!!?…ARE TOU GETTING TONIGHTS TEA???!! DOES MRS MASON AGREE WITH FAJITAS FOR TONIGHT?!”

the beauty of this website is that every morning you can wake up to a new bloody civil war with absolutely no indication whether it was incited by someone saying “silk boxers are mid” or “I believe you should be allowed to eat any dog under ten pounds”

Oh my god the photo of Southampton's intern spying on Boro is incredible

It's time for the sinister old dollmaker who created Wes Streeting to tell him he'll never be a real boy.

The "jokey" MP speeches at the start of the king's speech debate can be excruciating, but fair play to Naz Shah for taking the piss out of Nick Timothy by reassuring the Commons that her making such a speech, as a Muslim, is not "an act of domination".

best idea EVER - Dyer for Clacton 😀

Roses are red Existence is fleeting Time is too precious To waste on Wes Streeting.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

The Wes Streeting Fan Club meet to discuss exciting developments.

And people say Andy Burnham doesn't have a route to parliament.

and they'd still vote him back in.

"We now go live to Wes Streeting..."

I find it really annoying when people talk about rejoining the single market (which would be lovely) as though it's procedurally easy to do – or indeed possible as a standalone act.

Legal aid reforms in #KingsSpeech will increase the number of legally aided inquests from 400 to 11,400 a year. Costing £185 million. Finally ending the inequality of arms where NHS Trusts turn up with a phalanx of lawyers against still grieving families often alone and confused

Please retweet.

Thanks Brexit for all the untold damage 😡

A nine year old Ian Dury and his mum Peggy at the Festival of Britain in 1951. Ian had contracted Polio two years previously, most likely, he believed, from a swimming pool at Southend-on-Sea during the 1949 polio epidemic.

We are very old, so naturally we're now having lunch at the local garden center. It's like a horticultural retirement home - wall to wall Weird Fish and bedding plants.

Absolutely nothing prepared me for this Harry Potter lookalike. Dying.

If Batman were British.

Good morning.

What a woman 😆

RIght so here's a thing. Many weeks ago I was watching a TV programme that used a fake search engine called glinkle.com. I don't know if I had consumed much alcohol that night, but I must have loved the name so much I had to have it. It was about to expire, so I put the lowest offer in, and, well...

88% of UK millionaires proud to live in Britain. 75% willing to pay more tax to fund public assets. Yet right-wing constantly peddles project fear ... They would leave, etc. Capital gains, dividends are taxed at lower marginal rates than wages. Tax the rich. Redistribute. Alleviate poverty.

At some point there needs to be a *proper* conversation about how cruelty has become a new normal for so many people. And we can't just keep putting it down to structures. Too many people with plenty of agency are actively choosing this.

Daniel, as so often, is right on the money.

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

There's a CL final in a few weeks and the World Cup right after, if anyone thinks Sir Kier is going to quit with free tickets on the line they are not familiar with his game

I wouldn't tell anyone if I'd won the lottery but there would be signs 🤣 www.instagram.com/reel/DYNTf60...

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

Coincidentally, the number of staff currently at risk of redundancy (2700) at the University of Nottingham is the same as the number of jobs at risk at British Steel. Yesterday, the govt said they aren't neutral on job losses & so pledged to save those steel jobs. Watch as they blithely ignore HE.

I think that @doug.winter.cx has money on it being Ed. Not sure what odds he got.....

When you have a balcony and a curious cat.

Just put out dried mealworms for the birds and tried one on a whim. Little fuckers are delicious and we should all be eating insects.

I already hate the next Prime Minister

We're pro getting rid of Starmer but anti every other Labour MP

Fucking hell

Turns out that Hungary’s new Health Minister who celebrated the election win dancing on the podium - Dr Hegedűs -worked in the NHS, serving as a clinical lead & head of orthopaedics at N Manchester General Hospital, then was the lead surgeon for day surgery at the Cirencester Treatment Centre.

Nothing lined up for my next project; might just do a tutorial as there's something v relaxing about being told which bit to draw and which pencil to use. On the downside, I have to listen to the teacher yammer on instead of to an audio book or a podcast.

Good night Bluesky

Two birthday cards done; a rather broad church of subject matter 😆

Oh ffs, I've got ART to finish.

I'm drawing the eldest a birthday card. I'm planning to finish it tonight, but here I am, prevaricating again.

At least Streeting doesn't have to pay off 40 phone and fax lines he won't need after all

I'm built like a house at the end of a cul-de-sac: small in front with an enormous backyard
