This dry Australian delivery of "are you mogging me right now?" has been reverberating in my head for over a week

I hope this email jacks you off.

every free jazz show got these six guys at it

Could smell the Monster Energy coming off this thing from the other side of the car park

Sorry it just is not reasonable or workable for the use of someone’s pronouns to be contingent on how personable you find them. Think through the implications of that for a moment, or consider what it would look like to apply that requirement to any other form of address or name.

Do you think any of the serious and good FT Journos ever just sigh cause janan ganesh has written his shite column again

knew who had written this before even clicking lmao. one of the worst commentators going!

"Keir is your manager. His friend Waheed has offered him lots of expensive suits in exchange for a pass to the office. What should Keir do?

A) Turn down the offer and report it
B) Cut the Winter Fuel Allowance"

In the 11 years since my dad died I often find myself wondering how I would explain current events to him but "your footballing hero Matt Le Tissier is arguing with a Nazi robot about chem trails, also he's a Christian now" in a league of its own really

i wasn't using it but it is such unserious site things that access to the Quiet Posters feed, which is part of the functionality the site has advertised on official accounts just broke for 300k people because it runs out of the tech advisor's personal account and he's a thin skinned AI baby

Anti-Corruption? No dear I'm Auntie Corruption

It's not a 'favour' when you as a powerful institution ask another powerful institution to help a specific person

It's mad that they're acting like this is the same as asking your mate if there's at anything going at their office. When it's the PM's private office asking the head of the FCDO about a diplomatic role

These are all quotes from Frasier.

This is a good point, and it will be interesting to see if the US right notice this story (and what happens if do), as unlike the lobby they won't be interested in giving her an easy ride because she's one of the guys

Essugo the footballer who sounds most like something you could put on pizza for an extra 3 quid

It is staggering that no-one in the civil service vetting team warned Shabana Mahmood not to tell a joke about deporting and tasering opposition leaders, yet again the civil service failing this hard working government

genuinely think this is actually resignation worthy btw, like we fine with the Home Sec joking about tasering and deporting Jewish and dual-heritage political opponents?

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic

Not to be a broken record, but why on earth is Ed Balls there interviewing his wife's work colleagues about a scandal involving the government department she currently runs?

This must be that identity politics I’ve heard so much about

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

I'll be honest with you, people don't like Keir on the door but it's not over this Mandelson thing. They don't like him personally

Great news boss, this Mandelson stuff isn’t cutting through on the doorstep because they already think you’re a cunt

‘just how central was Peter Mandelson to the Starmer project’ is a question that is becoming increasingly close to being permissible, and I think Starmer is 100% done once it starts being asked

His father is Emeritus Professor of International Social Theory at the University of East London,[6] where he has taught since it was founded as North East London Polytechnic in 1970, devoting his career to French post-structuralist social theory and the work of Pierre Bourdieu.[7][8] His mother was a civil servant, who left her job to raise her children.[9] He was educated at Colfe's School, a private school in Lee, south-east London,[10] and Hertford College, Oxford, where in 1996 he took a BA in PPE.

Absolutely brilliant shot/chaser here

just messages and voice chat

perhaps conspiratorial of me but i wonder how much a certain generation of scottish labour person is still keeping in their hearts the million quid she gave the anti independence campaign
