The significant year on year fall on boat arrivals is broadly unreported by BBC or other media. It has less to do with imminent government changes currently going through than a fall in "push factors" that is Europe-wide

Yet Watt will carry on grifting. The prick.

You'll never believe what the Mitchell brothers and Dirty Den look like now...

A colleague didn’t recognise me in my glasses so I tried to joke “I’m Clark Kent” but accidentally declared “I’m Ken Clarke”

"It baffles me why women might struggle to feel comfortable around someone who supports a politician subject to a number of credible claims of sexual assault, including some already proven to the civil standard of proof".

Wait, Seb's younger than me? Well that's cheered me up a bit.

Ooh joint interview with Sean Bean and Bernard Cornwell... open.spotify.com/episode/2e0V...

Green Party council candidate in Lambeth. In a normal world, it would not be sustainable for a Party which claims to be "anti-racist" to ignore this, or to try and punt it away by telling everyone that everything is ok because Zack Polanski is Jewish

Apparently it’s International Haiku Day. I shall ignore it.

I just don't think I've got the energy for the latest phase of the Mandelson scandal. Starmer will be toast, eventually. Now surely about finding a way that restores the government's fortunes somewhat to avoid disastrous alternatives.

I’m grateful for the alt text, because my pre-caffeinated thought was “the pope has a foot-operated lightsaber now?”

Say what you like about Trump and his gang of idiots, but healing the break with Rome and the Reformation is a major achievement. Maybe a useless, corrupt sports organisation (the ICC or ECB perhaps?) should give them some sort of peace prize. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Desperately sad report from Press Gazette: "The Evening Standard had 346 staff members when Lebedev first bought it in 2009." Under the new structure it reportedly has just 6 news reporters

Lol.

Good news, we can justify hating Coldplay again after a quiet few years.

Gynedd woman in pyjamas, is siphoning your car Gynedd woman in pyjamas, she's nicking your four star

Feels like we just decided platforms have no responsibility not to profit off people with obvious problems doing incredibly dangerous things.

Pope World: Dominus

Given they're well on course to win well, difficult to see why the SNP are suggesting something so monumentally stupid.

That this guy became the Greens’ deputy leader after his post-Oct 7 comments was a disgrace at the time and remains so now.

Wow. End of an era. This feels like a thing?

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong?

Fucking hell, though.

Odd one this, in that she may not be wrong, yet Magyar, while v much a conservative, won by engaging with and subsuming the votes of most Hungarians to Orbán’s left. Which contrasts strongly with the Badenoch approach of considering Ruth Davidson as a dangerous immigrant-loving radical Marxist.

Sunder's thread here is great, but I think "why has the government failed to communicate immigration has fallen?" Is downstream of "the government has chosen to behave as if immigration hasn't fallen."

The global right has done so much to fuck the British economy over the past two decades it's untrue.

Real Madrid losing the plot is always funny.

Sheesh he's been donered up like a pitta there.

Deeply funny that both Putin and Trump are going "Viktor who?" despite desperately trying to keep him in power.

Finding it hard to accept this isn't a very *very* subtle sketch about terrible biopics. Especially funny considering Hersheys tastes like rubberised cat sick.
