I’m still amazed that the uk bit of palantir is headed by the grandson of Oswald Mosley. Seems appropriate

Pace yourself. No spoilers but we stayed up til 3.00am watching the last 5 episodes. It’s the best telly I’ve seen this century

We used to use the soldiers bones for fertiliser in the Napoleonic wars. Their teeth were used as dentures so a monument seems quite respectful

Well let's see how this strategy of telling "white liberals" to "fuck right off" works out in the local elections

What a stupid thing to say at the end of a local election campaign.

I had to look up gooning. I’m just too old for all this.

Stuppence, stuppence, stuppence a bag!

Omg the wheels are coming off and the backbenchers behind him look terrified.

Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.

And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Kendall blanks when shown Starmer seemingly lied about Mandelson vetting Starmer's story around Mandelson isn't holding up, and it's causing a massive headache for the ministers who have to defend it

Starmer's story around Mandelson isn't holding up, and it's causing a massive headache for the ministers who have to defend it

Wasn’t he implicated in the post office scandal?

In 1948/49, Israel destroyed over 400 Palestinian villages, driving populations that had lived there for millennia into exile and refugee hood. An act of ethnic cleansing that is being repeated today. Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon. This is obscene and cruel and wicked. End of.

Well a good day for a ride on a couple of trams. The National Tramway Museum is a delight

It's a real shame I suspect most English people would want to steer well clear of it because we know the Tommy Robinson formation fanboy club will probably be there, beered up and flag-shagging.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Tice ‘happy to put things right’ after ‘he failed to pay £100k in corporation tax’ Mr Tice said last year Angela Rayner would resign if she had “any moral decency” after admitting to underpaying stamp duty

Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022.

He's now offering to "put things right".

Go on then Richard - resign.

A reminder of when the Far Right went to Birmingham and got told to fuck off.

Hilarious.

You could say the same for the tobacco industry, Lisa. Let’s get Bluey doing ads for B&H!

I can’t work out if it’s an ironic take or not

No 10 knew Mandelson failed security vetting seven months ago The Independent put revelations that Peter Mandelson had failed MI6 vetting for the US ambassador role to Downing Street in September – but a ‘furious’ Sir Keir insists he did not know until this week

What a mess.

That makes sense thanks. It’s a really good solution

Where does the lead go when the car isn’t there?

How do I get to be disarmingly funny? Would mildly amusing be good enough for her?

We are about two reveals away from Starmer saying he doesn't even know who Mandelson is

A list of Starmer's 10 pledges, made during his Labour leadership campaign. Every pledge has 'broken pledge' written across it.

Forgive us if we don't trust Keir Starmer.

Do you?

Hopefully the UK will be next as the local elections loom. We have had six in a row of the most inadequate and rightwing prats in power.
