Just shit

X is absolutely cooking the brains of the entire political class that remains on there. The ones who think they're immune are probably the most affected.

Something very British about our wannabe fascist dictator being the guy who messed up running Southampton football club.

🇪🇺 "In recent years to see the London Stock Exchange on its knees, to see good jobs lost, actually losing out in a way we could never have imagined to competitors in Europe." 🫠 Can anyone think of a major political event that made the British economy less attractive - maybe around 2016?

When the USA tells other countries to spend more on their militaries, we shouldn't forget that the US military spends a lot of money on things that have nothing to do with defending the US from foreign enemies.

US: "We are all one Western Civilization sharing a common thread from Athens to Rome to America." EU: "We've actually been building institutions to bring Europe closer together, pooling our sovereignty around shared values and..." US: "No. Not like that."

The beebs will, of course, be all over this 👍

The idiots clapping Farage ffs

Lost my phone in London, with four credit cards and £150 cash in the case. Returned to me within 21 minutes. This hellhole of a city eh.

It's quite something, I think, to write a column about the fallout of the Epstein scandal for Starmer without the author mentioning that he'd exchanged emails with Epstein in 2011 after writing a piece in which he'd said that Epstein wasn't technically a paedophile. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Oh this is brilliant from Victoria Derbyshire! If only all journalists were like this with Reform (i.e. highlighting the truth, holding them to account, pointing out their hypocrisy and attempts at gaslighting the voters)...then they would be back down in single figures in the polls.

Quite brilliant

Obesity robs our kids of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems, and costs the NHS billions. This Government is taking action now to end the targeting of junk food ads at kids, across both TV and online. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/gove...

Pretty sure Wuthering Heights would be getting a lot better reviews if they’d used my theme tune that I sent them. Yes, I know I’m just singing Wuthering Heights to the tune of Blankety Blank but it’s catchy as fuck and will let everyone know they’re in for a good time at the flicks.

This is just brilliant.

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

It has come to something where a "TV presenter" has to try to insist that the people who just got vox-popped are Wrong...

Last week, we reported that Elon Musk was likely violating US sanctions by allowing Iranian leaders to pay for blue checkmarks. X quietly removed the checkmarks and now Iranian lawmakers are pissed because parody accounts are impersonating them www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

To join my new TRUE BRITISH PATRIOT political party you must: Be born here. Have parents born here. Be the same colour as me. Agree with me about everything. Live next door. Stop asking for your lawnmower back, Dave, we've got to get out there and put flags up after a few drinks. It’s your round.

Farage’s economic agenda is basically a manual in how to crash the economy

As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances

Nigel Farage has appointed Robert Jenrick – an accomplice to 14 years of Conservative economic crimes – as his “shadow chancellor”. On so many levels, Jenrick is a thoroughly loathsome politician.

Even in the Frank Miller fantasy, the story of 300 is about King Leonidas being so absurdly bad at politics and statecraft that he was left largely without allies and got maneuvered out of being able to deploy HIS OWN ARMY against an existential invasion threat.

📍Ivrea, ponte vecchio. Can you spot the "Bella Dormiente" (Sleeping Beauty) 🏔️🏔️ in the background?

You can see why they're so excited by the line, though: in presenting a vision of Britain with no Muslims, Jews, Hindus or people of other faith wrapped in the genteel connotations of the Church of England, they think they've found a magic spell for selling white supremacy.

"Working towards the fuhrer"

"You're the last gentleman." "Thanks, I'm putting that on my name badge"

Reform Ltd say they'll end poverty Reform Ltd says they're patriotic But billionaires create poverty And Reform Ltd is funded by billionaires So 'patriotic' they move to Thailand, Monaco, Dubai to avoid UK tax Don't be a turkey voting for Christmas Don't vote Reform Ltd

The “you have to be Christian to be British” proposition is not worth debating. It’s abject nonsense. You know it and they know it. Just call it out for the racism it is.

Ironic to read that people polluting the countryside because of the way they kill wildlife, accuse Labour of an attack - on the Countryside. Talk about pot/kettle. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

It's 2028. Elon Musk has just tweeted an endorsement of Reinvent GB, the party created to the right of Reimagine England which was a right-wing splinter of Reignite Albion formed because Restore Britain was too woke in its conservative critique of Reform UK. Starmer somehow still losing to all 5.

Measles spreads easily. Ensuring you and your loved ones are up to date with your MMR or MMRV jabs is the best protection. Contact your GP to get vaccinated.

REVEALED: Matt Goodwin, Reform UK’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton byelection, has been campaigning alongside racists and far-right activists in his bid to win the seat. Read the full story: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/02/16/m...

All these stories about #Farage not wanting to be Prime Minster etc. Did anybody REALLY think that was ever what he wanted? Actually working for a living is not his bag - he's ALWAYS been about the money. Fifteen years of professional shithouse agitation, and off into the sunset richer than God.

35 years ago today was an amazing day to be a Notts fan. Does anybody else have any memories of the game that they would like to share?

The funny thing about Tommy Robinson leaving the UK because of a IS threat is that it appears to be yet another grift from him. He's previous admitted that he's a resident of Spain and hasn't lived in the UK for years. However, if there was any truth in the matter he's essentially become a refugee.

Ignore them for weeks until the public outcry becomes so overwhelming that you're forced to order a largely toothless regulator to launch a multi-week investigation with no actual consequences while continuing to use the platform the images were posted all-over as it poisons society? Go off, king.

No need to listen to a billionaire who moved to Monaco to save paying £4bn in tax. Caricature by @bjennings90.bsky.social.

Sure, AI is costing $billions and consuming copious resources, all to produce creepy slop that barely anyone likes. But the alternative would giving that funding to actual human artists. Can you imagine!?! Countless talented people, with free reign to create. What sort of world would that be!?

Not a new observation, of course, but one that keeps coming back to me. I thought we'd all agreed this was bad.

I think this is part of my generation's confusion about AI. We were raised on a culture that warned about these dangers repeatedly -- from WarGames to the Terminator films to the Matrix, and countless other dystopian futures in between -- and now those cautionary tales are being celebrated.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.
