Compelled to point out that this is what the earliest air combat looked like around the start of the First World War; pilots shooting from their aircraft with shotguns, rifles, or pistols.

Mahmood: White liberals who want to put me in a box can f--- off Home Secretary responds to heckler claiming she is trying to ‘out-Reform Reform’ with tough stance on immigration

“I do think there is that element of it which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’
No Shabana Mahmood, it's more like "How dare you, a Labour MP, spout far-right white nationalist talking points and remove rights from refugees"

Govt announces that it’s going to break the link between gas and electricity prices so, naturally, #r4today get someone from BP on to say we should be drilling the North Sea for more oil and gas. Eh? 🤷‍♂️

Brutal, but devastatingly true.

"The election leaflet they dropped here is opposing 24 flats being built five minutes walk from the tube."

Yep. And that's exactly the kind of thing Labour should be highlighting about the Greens rather than the daft attacks about drugs

Headline on the landing page of snopes.com, next to a headshot of Leonardo DiCaprio: Epstein files don't say Leonardo DiCaprio ate 'child meat.' We have the proof

Subhead on the story page There is simply no evidence the actor engaged in cannibalism, despite a rumor claiming he ate more than 70 pounds of "child meat."

What a fantastic time to be alive!

After the latest Mandelson revelations, Starmer needs to get a good lawyer. Wasn’t he supposed to be one? | Jonathan Freedland If only the PM had been the process-obsessed technocrat he was once painted as, this disaster wouldn’t have happened – and he wouldn’t be on the brink, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

"He has managed to be both dull and incompetent; and that is nobody‘s idea of a winning combination.“

I missed yesterday’s match due to being away in for a family do.

Checked the results at 5pm and was surprised to see we won 2-4 away.

I obviously missed an exciting second half Chris Goreham commentary! #ncfc

I’ll repeat until I’m blue in the face; I’m enormously sceptical that for people who no longer use cash that the £ is totemic in the way it was say 25 years ago.

UK people know the Euro and most use it every year on holiday.

Yes, and also the bit that I simply can’t understand is how joining the euro always seems to be presented as a problem for Rejoin, not an opportunity. A chance to join the single currency that has massively enriched its members? You should be biting our arm off.

It’s Boris Johnson all over again. And look how well that ended 🫤

Great song!

I think he means did you mean to use ‘tragedy’ in the opening post or was it a typo/autocorrect.

Someone in the Park accidentally forwards River the vetting documents. Lamb sneaks up on Mandelson while he's pissing outside Osborne's house, they have the world's most disgusting conversation. Ho hacks the Epstein files and puts Taverner onto them. Shirley gets into a punch-up with Morg McSweeney

It does feel a bit “breaking news: BBC has uncovered that water is wet”

And now it’s affecting government policy, ministers having been dragged into the programmes to be grilled about it who don’t feel they have the electoral bandwidth to say ‘don’t be stupid, we all know this isn’t a real thing.’

Roses are red

Mamdani delivers a master class every time in how to communicate politically.

Well, both jobs involve a bit of mixing

Roses are red
Violets are roughage…

BREAKING NEWS A jury found that Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, operated as a monopoly in violation of antitrust laws.

We the jury in the above-entitled action have determined that water is wet

Classic 😀

As was “Can you play Hi Ho Silver Lining instead of this shit?”

I did similar at the South Parade Pier gigs too.

I was at that ACR gig. What a night that was!

That's not the government doing it though. That's Robertson and the other people on the review panel.

I wouldn't (as you probably know) go so far as to say that but it's certainly been less radical than I expected, way too slow and the good things they have done are just not getting any traction.
