Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

SO SO poor LFC 😞

Went to Ukraine Unbroken last night - 5 short plays about the war. One, by David Greig, focuses on 2 front-line Ukrainian soldiers faced with a badly wounded enemy soldier and their realisation that not acting within the law would make everything meaningless. Written before the latest conflict.

The American people should have gotten a clear explanation as to why we bombed Iran and what the end game is. Instead, they got this:

I saw this earlier and it's shocking - truly shocking that someone can come on free view tv and express these in your face racist views GB NEWS should be taken off the air until they get their house in order.

‘Politically correct war’. You mean ‘legal’

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail. Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

What a time to be alive

Late to read this but it is a wonderful interview by master of the art, Henry Mance

Great to have 👑 @cmonstah.bsky.social in the FT on an important topic: LA artists making work in response to ICE round-ups and brutality www.ft.com/content/961d...

This is wonderful. Everyone needs to hear it.

Incredible how he can make even the passing of Jesse Jackson about himself.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

“It’s clear he didn’t run this grotesque idea past any women in real life.” It is deeply offensive to blame or penalise women for not having children, it’s even more painful for those like me who have suffered the pain of miscarriage after miscarriage. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

this feels like a spoof from The Day Today

For anyone unsure whether Jim Ratcliffe saying the UK has been 'colonised' by immigrants in that interview was being a full-on racist, he goes on to imply that they all scrounge benefits without looking for work. *This* Jim Ratcliffe, in case you were wondering:

Meanwhile. Who’s resigning in the US?

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Dom you are 🔥🔥🔥

But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?
