A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

Trump’s new “affordability” push is basically reversing the tariffs he said would never cause un-affordability. @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

From the man who spends every waking hour complaining...

Nikolai the walrus received a fish cake for his birthday from a zookeeper. This was his reaction.

MPs… Ragingly racist and prejudiced MPs… making money from X. Lowe. Farage. Tice. Anderson. If ever people say they speak for them, remind them of this. No. They do not. They speak for themselves. They speak for their bank accounts. There’s money to be made from keeping people fearful and angry.

Makes more sense now

Trump is all talk no walk. Since January he has promised to invade or bomb: Greenland Canada Panama Nigeria Venezuela Mexico Colombia Done nothing except give China the advanced Chips they wanted to beat us at AI

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down. He’s struggling to find any work at the moment. He’s a brilliant writer and has written for Dangermouse, Private Eye and many more… If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost. www.mathew-owen.co.uk Thank you

U.S. 📻 played us the wrong Chumbawamba song! 🎶 The world is riddled with maggots; the maggots are getting fat They're making a tasty meal of the bosses & bureaucrats They're taking over the boardrooms; they're fat & full of pride & they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died 🎶

This is fucking amazing

Schrödinger’s Britain.. Both bursting at the seams with brown people, yet somehow “overrepresented” in ads Make your minds up, Reform! We dissect this, the Caerphilly wake-up call, Starmer’s dodgy response & why we’re no longer P..P..picking up Penguins. 🎧 New ep below!

The Daily Show makes his trip to Japan into a Westminster Dig Show! He is now know as the American Beaverhound! 😅 #ProudBlue

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

Public service announcement: The purpose of adverts isn't to accurately reflect society, it's to sell things.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

SNAP benefits - pass along to seniors or anyone who may need this. 1/2

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

For a moment there I thought the Mail was going to stop hounding Meghan!

A new free piece released. The Trump "harsh" sanctions on Russia last night were anything but. They actually provide protection for Russia's biggest oil customers to transact business for at least the next 4 weeks--and have no automatic sanction after that. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It’s not the ‘Brexit deal’. It’s Brexit.

What reason is there to think that the Budapest summit will be any more successful than the one in Alaska? There is no indication that Putin is willing to make any new concessions, yet Trump just can’t say no to his Russian counterpart. wapo.st/49eip6r

LICE 😂 Seattle, Washington No Kings

The president responds to the biggest protest in American history by proving its point

Best #nokings get-up I’ve seen so far. Unlikely to be beaten.

Cincinnati #NoKings 👑

For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. The #NoKings movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings.

Leave your Palestinian flags at home on Saturday. Leave ALL your personal policy demands at home. Saturday is about one thing only: Defending democracy & the rule of law. No fucking kings in America. That’s it. That’s our ONLY message. My #NoKings rant.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Putin keeps “tapping” Trump along.

King George III in early 1776

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

Excerpts from the press release for the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. If MAGA and Trump had any self awareness, they would read this and understand why he had no shot of winning it, despite their protestations. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Correction ⤵️

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

I'm not an economist but seems worrying that the whole US economy is seven companies in a trenchcoat, passing the same $20 up and down

One very very lonely Tory voice on the letters page of The Times. Sorry, Robert. It’s too late. Your party has gone completely nuts. Driven mad by 14 years of failure, Farage and your monumentally stupid Brexit. You can ask them to put the petrol can down but they’re mesmerised by the fire.
