Judging by the screams from up and down Broad Street, either Mafeking has been relieved or England are through to the European Cup finals. Jolly good show either way.

Accept the loss, move on, and entertain yourselves by seeing how much loose change falls out of Michelle Mone’s pockets when she’s picked up by the ankles and shaken vigorously.

I appreciate HAHA RACHEL REEVES SAY NO is the hard left's favourite meme right now. But a HUGE problem for transport outside of London was the last government's addiction to spending announcements, rather than having sane ministers who were across their briefs.

White Christian Nationalists only support Israel because its existence is necessary for their version of Jesus to return; at which point Israel will be destroyed in a global thermonuclear war which will kill all non White Christian Nationalists. It’s in the Bible, you know.

I’d honestly forgotten what he sounded like. I was wondering which blithering idiot they’d got on #BBC #Radio4 #Today going on about how the NHS must have all our medical records so AI can get rid of bureaucracy and I Stand With She Who Must Not Be Named.

No change at #BBC #Radio4 #Today… pundits waffling that Biden must step aside because the election results in France and the UK show a youthful hard strategy is needed to win and no it’s getting the vote out to make sure the fascists don’t take control.

What we need here is for a blue box to appear, someone to step out of it and yell “UNDER ARTICLE 92 OF THE SHADOW PROCLAMATION THIS IS NOW A FIXED POINT IN TIME”, then step back into the box which vanishes.

So my theory as to why Sir Kier Starmer went to the Admiralty Building first before going to No. 10 was to add his name to the treaty with the Deep Old Ones.

Les résultats des élections britanniques sont sorties et c'est l'occasion d'apprendre que "Capt'n Beanie", un candidat portant un masque au motif de haricots à la sauce tomate, a fait trois fois plus de voix que Posie Parker, la leader mondiale du mouvement anti-trans.

She held up the declaration until the slow clapping in the hall started too. I think she was screaming at her handlers. “I won’t go out there! I WON’T! If you make me, I’ll scream and scream and scream until I’m sick! AND I CAN!!!”

What we would have been doing in my childhood which I really urgently need someone to do now is to go through the Reform vote and correlate it with every single possible metric to explain to us what the demographics are that drive a constituency toward Reform.

While I would like to see a look on Sunak’s face equivalent to Johnson’s the morning after the Brexit referendum, it would come at too a high a price. Besides, he’d just sod off to whatever cushy job Elon’s got lined up for him.

Well, transphobia requires a lot less money than say helping families out by abolishing the two-kid cap on Child Benefit. I have a mostly decent MP whom I expect to be returned. Planning to start with “don’t make me hold your feet to the fire on this one”.

When w3w started up, they offered custom “one words” which you could change the location of as you saw fit. I paid for a 10 year licence for one which I used for three years. Then w3w cancelled the service. No explanation, no refunds. Sods.

When Miramax got the overseas distribution rights to Princess Mononoke, producer Toshio Suzuki presented Harvey Weinstein with a (blunt prop) Samurai sword and told him “no cut”.

I also see that some Very Fine People believe they are ushering in the Second American Revolution and it will be bloodless as long as the Left don’t oppose them. I fear there will be cries of “the Left violently opposed us by repeatedly bashing their heads against our boots”…

I get the same bad vibes from this as I did when certain people insisted on calling a former Chancellor of the Exchequer Gideon and not his preferred name of George, because everyone knows a lot of Those People are called Gideon.

This. It’s bloody bleak, and so many groups are being marginalised / thrown under the bus, but I have to choose hope even if it turns out to be folorn.
