Only time I ever missed a flight was when the Easyjet app was sending live updates saying my flight was delayed 2 hours. Our transport to airport was stuck in traffic and security took forever. Got to gate, app still said 2 hour delay, but the flight had departed on time. Was fuming

Curious to hear your thoughts on Eternals. I loved it, but nobody else did

this is best practice when faced with a major political disagreement - try to find common ground and appear as reasonable as possible to take the heat out of the situation - but Rowling and her followers have radicalised themselves into a frenzy and cannot be treated as rational actors, so 🤷

think this is wise in theory (why not try to appease your opponents by finding common ground away from what you disagree on!) but in practice, gender critical campaigners just won't listen to what Stonewall has to say anyway so no real point in trying to reach out and alienate allies by doing so

Somewhat ludicrous BBC headline: "staggering" I was not told Mandelson failed vetting, says PM

[climbing out of my car which is now embedded in my neighbours' front room, turning to them hands on hips] honestly I'm as mad about this as you are

Sorry but it is genuinely creepy that this (engaged,36yearold) guy spends his time getting angry that Gen Z women are "intolerant" for not wanting to date someone who supports a sexually abusive, racist misogynist who is destroying the fucking world and making it more expensive to live as we speak

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

Sarajevo and Mostar for Bosnia.

Elsewhere in the Balkans I've also been to Ljubljana, Bled, Split, Dubrovnik, Budva, Kotor, Tirana, Athens, Bucharest, Brasov and Sofia.

Fair play to Duncan here. Anyone remotely familiar with Scottish politics knows of his unwavering loyalty and this decision is an indictment of the current state of Scottish Labour.

I've joked before that Anas Sarwar has lost the Mandate of Heaven but genuinely if you lose the Ultimate Scottish Labour Poster you might as well suspend the campaign and resign as leader now

the founding of Your Party (July 2025 – present)

Absolutely loved my trip to Bosnia last year

Me, sowing an electoral system so I can get a constitution-amending supermajority on a smaller share of the vote: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me, reaping an electoral system where they can get a constitution-amending supermajority on a smaller share of the vote: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

No photo or text description could have prepared me for this audio

right I have wifi again - here was Budapest just now - at quarter past midnight!

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Tonight I'm thinking of the many Hungarians I've met over the years - many of them abroad against their wishes, many of them queer - who haven't stopped fighting, for sixteen years. For most of us, Orbán was an on-and-off nuisance on TV - at best. For them, he was a constant nightmare.

After the last time he won, I thought they would never be able to get rid of Orban. So delighted to be wrong. Now the long work to reverse the damage he did will need to begin.

Absolutely unbelievable if Tisza really are heading towards a constitutional supermajority.

Does... Zack think the UK Government should just have let Iran hit our bases and allies?

Because that's his implication here.

Think I remember hearing the design at Woolwich is to evoke the old military medals

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

This really needs underlining: Ukraine is not just holding, but is now actively winning the war.

In March, Russia suffered roughly 35,000 casualties, the highest rate of the war. It gained just 5.46 sqKM. That's 6400 losses per KM gained.

In Feb Ukraine gained more land than it lost.

It's winning

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Zarah Sultana: "Glad Keir Starmer's Labour government is prioritising stopping musicians from performing. "Wouldn't want them distracted from their complicity in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people and an illegal war on Iran. "What a pathetic excuse of a Prime Minister.

If your commitment to the Palestinian cause extends to somehow taking issue with the government for banning a man who repeatedly said "I am a Nazi", released a song last year called "Heil Hitler", and sold swastika merchandise...maybe it's time to rethink your life choices.

My Duolingo from today would concur with the view that we need your posts

Blaming the Home Office for your failure to go "hm, maybe we shouldn't be headlining someone who's repeatedly demonstrated he's a Nazi" is a bit fucking rich, tbh.
