Tell me again how this BBC editorialising is just my cognitive bias... This isn't a quote from anywhere. It's just the BBC's description of this disgraced, divisive politician.

Liz Truss waiting patiently by her phone for Reform to ring, not realising it's actually a penguin biscuit

The Shit of Theseus

Five years ago. Incredible. Everyone was talking about a Johnson third term and Labour's 'decade in the wilderness'. Only FOUR of that most senior team are now Tory MPs.

The BoJo effect.

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

Reminder that this is the Telegraph decreeing that cities as human-friendly as like Edinburgh and Paris are "Stalinist".

(Signed: a native of Edinburgh who doesn't own a car because *he doesn't need one*.)

We’re really going to get a Reform government in three years eh?!

🤢🤮😭

"I feel like I've come home," Suella Braverman tells assembled Reform UK voters.

Funny thing - the word on the tip of their tongue, looking at her, is also 'repatriation'.

NEW: Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK, shocking the many people who were sure that she had already.

Andor - They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation.

Strangely, others have had big refits 🤪🤪 guess they’re waiting for a refresh soon?

Whoever joins a gym in January, y’all need to get your head looked at. Worst possible gym experience.

Just start on a random day in February or March.

The horrors I’ve seen today 🙈

The Nintendo GameCube. A purple toy-like console

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"

Even in the midst of the homophobic 1980s, when Section 28 was spawned, I don’t recall any BBC freelancer being hauled off the air for expressing support for gay people.

Hopefully this week I feel Christmassy to match my surroundings 🤪

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Good.

'Tip of the iceberg': Jenrick says answers needed on accidental releases published at 13:08 13:08 Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick says "Cherif is just the tip of the iceberg". Reacting to Brahim Kaddour-Cherif's arrest, he says: "David Lammy won’t say how many prisoners have been mistakenly released this year or how many of the 262 accidentally released last year are still at large. "We need answers and immediate action - because the British people are being put at risk.”

The brass neck is pretty incredible.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Really important piece

Congratulations! Welcome to the UK - hope you settle in well! Apologies for the weather this time of year; spring is coming (eventually) and it is usually spectacular.

4 years out from an election and legacy media running with stories about Ref*rm winning the election if it was today. But hey, no election, so let's focus on TODAY and things that actually matter to people across the country. media and the political class treat this as a fucking self indulgent game

I ❤️ @mattbelloni.bsky.social for this. The ethics of Hollywood are basement level. Same for tech (see below a column I wrote in 2019).

Netanyahu:

"Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not"

Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39.

Ignorant of Jewish history.
