I’m starting to like this guy.

Druids are already transporting the Ed stone on log rollers from Wales to Westminster...

There will be people voting at the next general election who are too young to remember 2015.

This goddamn bastard is giving an old cynic feelings & hope & shit and I almost hate him for it. It’s the hope that hurts.

This is so cool.

God, they really don’t. Brilliant television.

Be shocked if she could use velcro

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

But why?

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

I fully expect him to be out by 9am May 8th.

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

I can see him being defenestrated at 9am prompt on May 8th tbh.

It’s funny, I bought it at 13 purely because of Money For Nothing, particularly the opening guitar solo, but it really hasn’t aged as well as the rest of the album!

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

Also the bigger question, Why in the first place? Never actually heard a reasoning for mandelsons appointment have we

The big bad signal for the PM is that no MPs are speaking up for him. No loyal backbenchers giving him a break, use up time and some cover.

It's just a constant attack from every side of the house.

First album I bought with my own money.

An hour and a half into this and it probably speaks volumes that the opposition benches remain packed while Labour's MPs have left Starmer to deal with it on his own.

I would be confident betting every thing I own that it is 100% illegal to remove anything that has been put in someon's letter box

The Mandelson affair is about the government’s judgment, not process Discussion of vetting and procedure is part of the excuse but not the core of the difficulty

The big picture problem is that Keir Starmer's initial line as to why he had sacked Peter Mandelson was visibly ridiculous and subsequent developments have made it more so. Now it's basically 'well, I would have DOUBLE not appointed him if I had known!'

Sam Coates reports "We've got some breaking news"

It turns out that the head of the civil service told Starmer he should get all the security vetting done before he announced who'd be the new ambassador

"Clearly Starmer chose not to do that, [he] chose to ignore formal advice"

“I do not accept that these things happened” ok but they did? They happened and they happened on your watch and you’re the *leader of this fucking country* and more than that, you promised that things would be different if people made you the leader of this fucking country!

I'm fascinated by smart glasses because for like 2 decades now companies have been trying to make them happen in spite of the fact that they have extremely limited utility, major legal issues, no one seems to be asking for them at all, and on top of that they always look like THIS

Dog looking like Roman emperor

Very much worried I wasn’t going to accomplish anything today but then I took this picture

At the end of the day Starmer announced the appointment before the vetting was even finished. That was a catastrophic error of judgment considering who he was appointing. Everything else is just noise.

Suspect the Prime Minister's express attacking of foreign office officials is not sensible.

Considering *who* they were appointing, it is staggering.
