This is the point where the anti-Reeves stories tip into madness. Criticise her performance all you like but what the hell is this?

Minimum wage employers complaining that people don't have any disposable income or savings.

"Wrexham lands £18m in taxpayer funding despite Ryan Reynolds’ income" Never forget: It's a fairytale...! archive.is/9WkgH

Maybe this wouldn’t be happening if - to pick one example - something meaningful had been done when a Tory whip fired the same MP from her post for being too scarily Muslim for members, and he was then promoted within a week of that being reported in the paper www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

No-one at the BBC or in the Westminster punditocracy is ever going to ask Dicky Tice about this, are they?

For context this "independent voice" is a former Conservative candidate and the sister-in-law of David Cameron

In case I forget, one of my traditional Christmas posts needs to be made early..... That time Graham Wilkins saved Christmas...... #Chelsea #ChelseaFC

This comes less than 72H after this piece by one of the core "Economists for Brexit" gang. (The rabble Patrick Minford is associated with.) I wonder if the Right have figured out the best way to stomp on Labour is to rub their noses in their Brexit red lines maximalism? archive.ph/2025.11.26-1...

Fifty seasons ago #ncfc had nothing to play for but beat QPR in the third last game to deny them an unlikely title. Biggest crowd I've ever been to at Carrow Road - 30,895. Shame we can't go back in history - let them win in return for a much-needed victory today! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_w0...

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

One of the most bizarre ministerial resignations was that of Hugh Dalton over the 1947 budget leaking minutes before its delivery

When people wonder how an unengaged British public were persuaded that Brexit wasn't going to change their lives.......

See, #ncfc, it is possible to sack a sporting director and a CEO in the middle of the season if they've wasted millions and the club is being badly run... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Like anyone else who went to Harlow College, I see this as the end of an era. www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2025/news/co...

Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

Devastating article from @eastangliabylines.co.uk Leaving Europe was, and remains, a very bad idea. Let's hope the UK is returning to rationality. @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social @peterthurlow.bsky.social @annadamski.bsky.social eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

I'll also send one of these and a print entirely for free to one person who reposts this. I know people love this book and I will not let it be lost. I will not let my ex-publishers, who ran off with £20,000+ of my combined earnings from it and six other books, win. Many thanks for any shares.

This, from the Guardian, is Ryanair at its very worst. It's not good enough for them to insist that they're a low-cost airline and everyone knows the rules, in circumstances like this... I wonder if legislation is needed?

Bottom five of the Championship on the morning of Nov 24, 2007. Cardiff 15 19-23 15 Preston 16 15-20 15 QPR 15 14-24 15 C Palace 16 16-20 14 Norwich 16 10-26 9 Then somehow Glenn Roeder fashioned this run: W-W-L-W-W-D-W-D-D-D-W-D-W-W-W-D. Need the same sort of turnaround if #ncfc are to survive.

BBC Six O'Clock News not doorstepping Nigel Farage or Reform tonight. Funny that. Imagine if it had been a Labour MEP...

It’s hard to read this stuff from doctors without cringing at how wildly out of touch it sounds (and how little self-awareness). £100k+ income is, to most of the public, beyond our dreams. Entitlement and class privilege is not the best way to win people over to your cause!

Another day & another appearance on the #BBC by Spiked: the attention seeking right-wing contrarians who came from the Revo Communist Party & who include the Claire Fox Academy/Institute of Ideas. Tonight: Ella Whelan on #bbcqt: a group who add nothing positive to public debate.

The stupidly enthusiastic and over-the-top Grand Designs: House of the Year presenters could fill Private Eye's Pseuds Corner for the next year with their witterings about what are mostly vanity projects. The Sussex national park effort looks like a 1970s holiday-camp residential block!

Ben Knapper: "We've not won anywhere near enough games and we've lost way too many. For this club to be sat in the position that we're in now is completely unacceptable and that's on me." If he was anywhere other than #ncfc he'd have (rightfully) been fired by now.

My mother saved for years to go to Corfu she didn't get charitable status for it.

Labour's Clive Lewis, "We were more exposed than any other country in the 2008 financial crash" "Brexit has clobbered us financially, we all accept that" "Covid has smashed us harder, we've not recovered compared to many of our OECD competitors" "We're in a bad place"

Would Clive Lewis really do it???

"Luke Akehurst says he would happily serve in government and that it’s no secret he’d like to be defence secretary. Although he doesn’t have a military background, he believes he could bring a more 'holistic' approach to the job." 😂 😂 😂 www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Part of the problem here is they keep hiring comms people from newspapers who know how to pitch stuff to their former colleagues - but these tricks don't work anymore.

When you go to Auschwitz they have piles of jewellery and watches which were confiscated from those arriving.

A Labour government saying this. A Labour government. Soon they’ll be checking to see if they have any gold fillings in their teeth.

What would 2015 Shabana think of 2025 Shabana?

I'd be fucking horrified if Tommy Robinson was cheering me on

Remember when Christian Calgie was "taking a break from X to prioritise my mental health" - that lasted a long time, didn't it? Reach dumps hundreds of staff but keeps the odious Calgie as he writes for the ever-decreasing number of bigoted, coffin-dodging idiots still actually buying the Express.

What a week! Where to start? Malign influences abound. There's the Coup at No. 10... POTUS & the BBC.. or should that be Robbie Gibb & Micheal Prescott at the Beeb? Closer to home we have vigilantes, a stunned Farage & antics in councils. If only it was a rerun of the Bobby Ewing shower scene..

Liam Manning has released a statement, published online by the LMA. #NCFC www.leaguemanagers.com/latest-news/...

In which John thoroughly misunderstands AI.

Can the Tele make up their minds about whether the seventies was good or bad?

I don’t want McSweeney sacked because of this briefing ‘war’. I want him sacked because he’s steered Labour down such an awful, xenophobic path and paved the way for Farage in number 10.

Author wrote best book he's ever written. Publisher disintegrated/fucked off with author's earnings. Book was finally published by new publisher. Author has bought two hardbacks, for full price, to give away, signed. Please repost/reply if you'd like a chance to win one.. bsky.app/profile/zygo...

This is a Wicker Man thing, isn’t it?

As the gullible Starmer and McSweeney continue to look the other way, BBC News becomes even more right wing... pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/med...

Nice one Private Eye! Out now... 👍

Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Robbie Gibb, the BBC Board Member with the impartiality remit

Rupert Lowe has invited Wayne O'Rourke to parliament O'Rourke pleaded guilty to stirring up race hatred, after calling for people to go on the streets, burn cars, to attack mosques + the "traitors" defending Muslims Judge "You were not caught up in what others were doing, you were instigating it"

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that: 1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people. 2. Most drug-takers are not a problem. 3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich. 4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour
