A quid. An actual quid. It's a ridiculous fucking bargain.

Feckless Starmer looks childlike and pathetic The PM's utter failure has even shocked his own Cabinet

Miliband doubles down on net zero - Energy Live News Labour to announce breaking the link between gas and electricity prices and more renewables push

Ed Miliband today: "The era of fossil fuel security is over and the era of clean energy security must come of age....To ignore two crises in less than five years would be completely irresponsible… our action must now be faster deeper and more wide ranging.”

Unbelievably, Keir Starmer can now be compared to Boris Johnson The Prime Minister was once a man with a reputation for integrity and decency

This link opens up to a special offer for the i paper btw - £1 for three months. Genuinely a very good offer for quality journalism behind the paywall inews.co.uk/opinion/unbe...

It is preposterous and honestly rather shameful for Starmer to act so upset over the Mandelson affair. He is basically attacking Robbins for doing precisely what he wanted him to do inews.co.uk/opinion/unbe...

Genuinely one of the most preposterous things I've heard in in this whole affair.

Impressed by Edward Morello on the foreign affairs committee.

Gutted Meg is leaving this role. She's forgotten more about parliament than most people will ever know and spent decades pushing for rational democratic reform. If the country made any sense, they'd have a statue of her in the estate.

Britain sidelined in talks on Carney-backed defense bank The U.K. Treasury has expressed little enthusiasm for an initiative to provide lower cost loans to finance the armed forces.

Further evidence of a lack of deep thinking in government about the reality of the world. Or even waist-high thinking.

Actually properly amazing x

Round of applause for this man here, who spent all day looking forward to watching Akira only to discover that he'd booked tickets at the Science Museum in Bradford.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Right, something has gone v wrong with our regulatory environment when we have huge amounts sitting in cash ISAs but crypto can advertise on the London Underground.

"what politicians need is not to escape, joyfully, the mental prison of the non-growing pie, but to acknowledge the bargains, trade-offs, foregone pleasures .... intrinsic to growing it again"

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint!

A colleague didn’t recognise me in my glasses so I tried to joke “I’m Clark Kent” but accidentally declared “I’m Ken Clarke”

The significant year on year fall on boat arrivals is broadly unreported by BBC or other media. It has less to do with imminent government changes currently going through than a fall in "push factors" that is Europe-wide

Whenever my husband pisses me off, I give him the 'Shit fork ' to eat with. He mentions how much he hates it every time he gets it. We don't know where it came from but it just sits there in the cutlery drawer being shit.

In my mid teens if someone had said to me “when you are middle aged, the leader of the opposition is a black woman and the leader of the party polling in third is Jewish”, I really would have had a much more optimistic idea of how the future was panning out.

If you step back, it is truly extraordinary that so many people went to such great lengths and broke so many conventions and risked their political careers and the only outcome of all these efforts and risks was appointing a washed-up old spinner to an ambassadorial post

Brutal assessment. Hard to argue with.

I really, really want to stop agreeing with the pope.

It's always best to announce the "Top Secret Military Installations" you are wanting to build.

Reeves's real nemesis isn't Trump. It's the British woman intent on making us poorer The anti-immigration agenda which will starve Britain of skilled labour and global talent for decades to come
