Hostage to fortune this, but Happy Saint Totteringham’s to all who celebrate

Obviously it's not funny to laugh at British expats who are being bombed in Dubai having fled there to avoid the violence of Britain, of course it's not, stop it, but a million flowers for "Dynorod Stewart". Exceptional work.

Whatever my reservations about the attack, fuck this guy

“That’s *our* thing”

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in

I am leaving Facebook because it keeps showing me videos of former vice presidents dancing. That's right, I'm being forced out by the Al Gore rhythms.

Almost like they don’t want a democratic Iran

Those school girls were soldiers and therefore deserved to be obliterated by a US/Israeli bomb, but also they're not dead but also it'd be good if they were dead

He was a terrible man and he led a monstrous regime. Israel and the US own whatever comes next.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

It does feel like Starmer and Mahmoud have seen Labour rejected by its own *actual* core vote (instead of its imagined one) in its heartland and decided that the answer is just to reject those core voters right back. Suicidal politics.

Oh there is defo a dossier, its just not on Iran and no one is allowed to see it cos the President is in it a LOT

Interesting UEFA report on clubs’ finances. Pretty chilling for Chelsea fans 😃

There’s a horrific bantertastic potential outcome here, but don’t hate this draw.

Can't get a posh job - blame the "woke" establishment. Can't get a shag - blame the "unregulated sexual economy". Lose a by-election - blame cheating. Anything else - blame immigrants. Reform really is the party of excuses for mediocre white men.

Big shout out to my jihadi comrades in arms

They were. Yes prediction markets are a potential source of corruption and the involvement of Thiel and co makes them seem dodgy. But there’s something potentially useful here.

Hello darkness my old friend...

Goodwin taking it well I see

All 3 parties (having talked up chances) are briefing more nervously. Reform's Goodwin made a statement questioning if this was a free and fair by-election In 2015, Ukip said Oldham by-election defeat "bent" (lost by 10k) then failed to pursue any formal complaint www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

Odds drifting slightly away from Greens to Reform.

Echoing Nick Watts, Zack Polanski appears to be preparing us for a Green failure to take Gorton and Denton. #Newsnight

Yeah, why was that, Ian?

I really need the bookies to be right on this one

After the BAFTA’s thing, decided to check the film out. Really good.

Where are these missing files should be the biggest story on the planet

Have just bought 2 tickets for my daughter to see Maisie Peters in Leeds because 11am is too early for her to get up to sort for herself. My parents can never know about this.

Day kicking off with an email about the Sex Pistols 50th anniversary tour. Could anything be more on-brand?

“This poll was commissioned by Restore Britain”. A serious polling company would not do this.

Helluva investigation by @npr.org on how the DOJ "scrubbed from public view" multiple Epstein files that implicate Trump including in a case involving a 13 year old girl. NPR showing it's work like this is important:

This is interesting. One of the big political papers says this week’s by-election is too close to call. The bookies think the Greens have a lock on the seat. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Worse. A licence *not* to fuck incels.

Absolute binfire of a human being, but hankering after the glory days and intellectual ferment of … Iain Duncan Smith?

‘Man Utd’s £207m strike force pays dividends with goal to echo glory years’ apparently. Seems a fair reaction to a 1-0 win over Everton. #Mediawatch 👇 www.football365.com/news/michael...

Idiot child demonstrating that respectable exam results are no sign of actually being a grown up. She left her keys in London at the weekend. We’re currently tracking them on their AirTag through the post.
