The head of the British Music Hall Society told me that they have warehouses full of bequeathed memorabilia and nothing to do with it, their average member is 80 y/o and their youngest is in their 50s
This is what I think about when I see flag-shaggers pretending to be "defending British culture."
It seems that Starmer is handling the fallout from the Mandelson thing about as well as he's handled everything else. Blimey.
Old enough to remember when Glenn Beck tried this same pivot to revive his image during a dip in GOP popularity, before quickly reverting to form
Today I celebrate my 19th wedding anniversary. Conveniently enough, my wife is also celebrating hers today. It's like it was *meant to be*.

Oooh, beautiful cover.
trying to picture trump's idea of winning vietnam very quickly and all i can see is B-52s streaking over hanoi and dropping 80,000 pounds of z-packs
Mirror, mirror, list o list,
What's this sock thing on my fist?
The observation in my orbit,
Am I just a Matthew Corbett?
Someone brought a sock puppet to the Parkinson’s event so of course we made a poem about it!
Just used the last of the antiperspirant spray. Roll on tomorrow.
A spirea bush in full bloom. Masses of white blossom against mid-green foliage. One of three that I planted in untended waste ground a few years ago.
A spot of guerrilla gardening I indulged few years ago, has resulted in huge white clouds in what was an uncared for piece of land.
The Higher Ed equivalent is "female students laughing in the library"
"Student laughing while eating a salad" if you need a campus lifestyle shot.
Fascinated as to Mahmood's theory of 'how minority politicians succeed in democracies'.

"Why would anyone take these fantasy calculations seriously?
“Reform have simply invented their own numbers for migrant earnings, ignoring the analysis of the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) which used actual data from HMRC,” asked Jonathan Portes.
Stan looks like he's about to bunk off to sneak another session of tennis.
It is preposterous and honestly rather shameful for Starmer to act so upset over the Mandelson affair. He is basically attacking Robbins for doing precisely what he wanted him to do inews.co.uk/opinion/unbe...
"We lost 13 men"
At least three of these fatalities were women:
♦️Capt. Ariana Savino
♦️Technical Sergeant Ashley Pruitt
♦️Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor
I found this out with about 30 seconds of Googling.
The Commander-in-Chief still doesn't know.
He has zero idea what a currency swap is. Bet me
Reform's sheer dearth of range, content and imagination, laid bare. And this in *libraries*.
Billions of people will celebrate this asshole's death.
Your regular reminder that you DO NOT have to help fund literal Nazis with your Subst*ck: other easy-to-use and powerful newsletter/CMS backend options like Ghost are not just out there but waiting for you to put your money where your principles are.
It's a distant cousin from the '...before you die' strain of books and movies that we should gorge on before our mortal coils are appropriately shuffled off.
It's a good question. One that the BBC will doubtless get around to asking Nigel Farage when he's PM.
No it isn’t. And if it was, you’d be bad at your job
Chicken sausages. Pure filth.
The thing that really annoys me about all this Mandelson stuff is that the US Ambassador role was not vacant! There was already a highly qualified and competent woman in the position
And now this thing about finding a job for Starmer's ex Head of Comms?
Jobs for the Boys alive and well

I can't understand how negotiations with Iran could possibly have failed with such a stellar lineup of Americans🙄
They're not even trying, folks.

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?
A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.
