This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The President really is out there today saying "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that." And Reader, the Democrats have the chance to do the funniest fucking thing right now...

💀💀💀

The best of these so far. 10/10

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

You won’t read about this in @telegraph.co.uk…

Choosing the Insurrection Act over accountability is a grave escalation and yet another example of why he is unfit to lead.

67% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?

Navarro says it plainly like few others can.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

She warned us. Like Hillary, Kamala was right about everything.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

remember new year’s eve is amateur night so be careful out there —professional drunks

We read Orwell's Ninteen Eighty-Four at school but I never really understood how redefining reality as a form of social control would actually work until far right "Christians" began telling us Christian charity is wrong.

They should invent tiny speakers that can fit inside a person’s ear so that person can watch videos without other people having to hear everything.

I keep thinking—as a historian—that it’s rare when doing research to find a politician who reveals his nasty innards so blatantly—with no sense of self or shame. Future historians who didn’t live through this will be absolutely open-mouthed.

This is Millie. She just learned how to sled. Hopes you brought a second land frisbee, because she will not be taking turns. 13/10 (TT: millietheredlab)

These people were murdered and that’s what he has to say about them? SMFH

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

The real disgrace in UK's welfare bill is that so much of it is spent on people in work. We are subsidising jobs that do not pay enough to live on. If we genuinely made sure work paid a decent living, then we would not have such a high bill.

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬 He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

Seriously. Take ten fkn minutes off to be a person.

Well colour me absolutely f*****g shocked.

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

I couldn't let the piece on litter and dog walking pass without mentioning that my dog Bertie won a BBC Making a Difference award this year for picking up plastic bottles when we go running together. He's picked up more than 10,000, which are all now in the recycling.

The most helpful phrase of 2025 👇

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Facebook, like Twitter, should have 'Following' and 'For You' columns. I don't open Facebook so I can see photographs of steep staircases. I want my friends back.

BREAKING NEWS: Otter does important science stuff.

BREAKING NEWS: IKEA now include an enthusiastic yet unqualified assembly otter with every purchase.

On Trans Parent Day, we celebrate both trans parents and parents of trans children. We offer valuable resources like 'I’m Trans: How Do I Tell My Parents?', 'I’m a Trans Parent: How Do I Tell My Children?', and 'My Child’s Trans' to help guide families through these journeys. Head to fflag.org.uk.

Poor take by Curtice. This is a disaster for Farage. Polls had RefUK closely winning. Losing by 11% signposts Plaid to all of Wales as THE tactical choice for Senedd Elex and drains RefUK momentum. "Something is happening out there", alright. People are uniting to tell Farage to feck right off.

GOOD! As long as it's targeted at high earners / wealth, f***ing have at it, Rach! And close the goddamn corporate tax loopholes while you're at it. Reeves considers breaking manifesto pledge with income tax rise to fill £30bn gap www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

Strange that Kemi Badenoch only manages to find her voice on grooming gangs now, after being an MP for 8 years, including time as Minister For Children & Families then Minister for Women and Equalities.

Good evening! This week's theme is Piccadilly. ------ 'Piccadilly at Night' by John Atkinson Grimshaw (1885-6) (Private Collection)

Steve is not in a sharing mood today.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I just find everything feels a bit better when I watch this.

Whenever Nigel Farage is properly challenged, he reminds me of those 1920s burlesque entertainers, whose act consisted of swapping the position of fans or balloons, really fast so nobody could catch a glimpse of their fanny.
