July 2024 - Labour are elected on the basis of Starmer being a dull but competent PM. No drama just focused on fixing the basics. November 2025 - Now the least popular PM ever Starmer announces plans for mass deportations, the seizure of immigrant wealth and the indentured labour of migrants.

We must salt the earth, and make the soil that would produce such a sick harvest as this barren for decades to come

The murder rate in London is now the lowest in decades, perhaps centuries. (The Times)

Michelle Obama: “Don't even look at me about running, because you all are lying. “You're not ready for a woman. So don't waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do.”

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

Just to pick up on this: One reason my mates and i loved playing Star Wars as kids was BECAUSE it threw out all these references to events that weren't explained. We were used to adults around us doing that IRL about WW2 or whatever. So it didn't feel weird. It made the universe feel REAL.

Hey @fightingfantasy.bsky.social

The best review I have ever read of Ricky Gervais's mean spirited, ego project, After Life. Bless you Will from London.

Babe, wake up, new type of croc just dropped…

James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth. Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES. 📍Station Lane, Bristol - near James Dyson’s £20m country estate Dodington Park

To all the doubters, AI is so close to being perfect Look my iphone helpfully transcribed a voice message left by my French mechanic

In case you missed it: *of course* the guy who wrote the BBC memo was a paid lobbyist.

Did a Thing. Jordan kindly asked me about my formative years working on Fighting Fantasy back in the 90s, and my return to help with it again now I'm in my dotage. I think he even managed to get four questions in this time.

The extraordinary artist and illustrator Ian Miller talking about his work. I was lucky enough to work with Ian on one long project and he was the kindest, most wickedly mischievous and generous man - a delightful individual. I'm in awe of his work. wyrdbritain.blogspot.com/2025/11/ian-...

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars" Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Good God, someone's just uploaded to YouTube a nearly 2-hour long video of one of the original Vic Reeves Big Night Out live shows at the Albany Empire from 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPU...

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

There's currently a Numero Group pop-up shop in Dalston (there until Sunday I think). Hadn't bought any new records for a while so popped in yesterday and spent too much money, even with their mailing list discount code 😲 (Details in Alt)

The sign of a complete and utter psychopath. A man collapses in the White House. Trump pays zero attention. The cameras are more important.

Fantasy vs reality

Alan, it’s time

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

I still love pointing this out every so often.
