You can actually see the moment Ed Miliband thinks, what's the point burning through whatever political credibility I've got left energetically defending a man who's going to be gone in a matter of weeks.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.
“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”
You, boy. Can you boogie?
samuel beckett was born on this day 120 years ago. astonishing to think that if he had survived, and could run 100m in 9.57 seconds, he would be not only the oldest but also the fastest man in the world - together with his nobel prize for literature, an astonishing trifecta
Ah
British history makes a lot more sense when you remember They Were All Drunk.
I do not believe so.
I told you I was right to not get a pension.
I’ve just doubled the value of my car.
I filled the petrol tank up.
A lovely bit of banter you can use during Trump’s war and the petrol crisis.
A thought. I'm going through this with a large, determined support network, including many of you.💚💚💚 But some people must be doing it isolated or alone. Horrific. If you know of such a soul, maybe pick up the phone or ring the doorbell. I doubt if you'll be rejected. 💚

Happy Easter
Fuck me the pheasants are tall this year.
Yes! For those of us born into it life's mission is to hear or know as little of this stuff as possible. A clear tell is when they quote the Bible. The Bible is for fucking Protestants! We had an extensive network of middle men to Match-of-the-Day all that shit for us and just show us the goals!
David Frost (the Brexit one): “Britain is quietly awakening to full-fat supernatural Christianity I have turned to Rome and I am not alone in wanting to be part of an ethereal reality sustained by a creator God”
@graybee’s immortal tweet: Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses." 2:48 PM • 17 Jun 22
*taps the sign*
Three women stand on the left with lots of men in the right. The text below says, “SO LADIES, THANKS FOR BEING THE FIRST TO WITNESS AND REPORT THE RESURRECTION AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE?”
It’s time for my favorite cartoon of the year.
Kanye West being booked to headline Wireless Fest on all three nights feels like a major and utterly grim cultural shift. Ten years ago, a huge artist who recorded and released a tune called “Heil H*tler” would have gone to the wilderness and stayed there. But he has been welcomed back in through the front door. And this is on the heads of the festival organisers, each of whom should be publicly grilled about this choice. Indulgence of anti-Semitism is one of the early warning signs of the return of old horrors, and it doesn’t get more indulgent than this.
Why are News outlets still using “received death threats” in their headlines?
If it was on the internet you either received death threats, or had the people who would send death threats blocked/muted.
The average internet interaction goes: “I really enjoyed this thing.”
“@YourName KYS”
Hey, billionaire tech guys; if arts degrees are so worthless why do you keep stealing all the work we created with ours?
Tweet from Denise Welch @RealDeniseWelch Hi @brent_council. You haven't emptied my son's bins in 3 weeks. Any attempts at due process has failed. He tried to talk to a collector who called him a cunt!! Can you let me know how we move forward!!!! 13:23 • 30/03/2026 • 168K Views
Beautiful stuff
“When you write it down is it ‘grower not a show-er’ or ‘grower not a shower’?
“I meant did you have any questions about this tired joke format.”
These are the dumbest fucking people on the planet and it is incredible that a combination of a crankly geriatric conservative readership and billionaire donors has created an ecosystem of media outlets to gainfully employ them and widely publish their every misfiring neuron of a take.
"The oil crisis is exactly what the net zero brigade wants"
These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."
My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

World’s Longest Coastal Path In England Set To Attract Millions Of Comedians And Their Mothers Accompanied By Camera Crews
This is utter garbage. I believe in net zero. We need to get there. But renewables are not competitive. That's why they are subsidised. Fossil fuel markets are highly competitive. It shouldn't be hard to hold these two thoughts at the same time.
You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵
They misjudge the politics of it because they are cynical.
They designed cruel policies because they somehow thought a lot of British people were cruel. And I think that is disqualifying.
Oh God I'm going to watch this twenty times in a row now.

People always go on about how homophobic the Iranian regime is but idk, I'm not seeing them blocking the Gays of Hormuz
