Right wing media: DEFUND THE BBC.

Right wing media: why can’t the BBC now afford to show the thing I like?

Oh, the grand old duke of york

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

actually it's called Reform because they're trying to re-form the Conservative party but in the tent next door

An edit of a 'Traitors' confessional shot with Robert Jenrick sat in the chair. The caption identifies him as 'Robert' 44, Wannabe PM and a traitor'.

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

My husband just turned to my bearded uncle at the dinner table and said "I will fight you, Santa!".
Christmas eve is going well.

BORIS JOHNSON: If Labour MPs try to reverse Brexit they will be walking into a hail of machine gun fire - and if that's the fight they want, bring it on! But they should heed my warning before things get bloody..

Jo Cox was murdered before the vote by a far-right terrorist & this is the language this complete disgrace chooses to use

I'm the leaseholder of a ground floor flat in a 5-floor block.
My situation is pretty different from (I'm fairly sure) all of those who died in the Grenfell tragedy.
That said, can you imagine anyone living in a block of flats in London would even consider following this advice?
Sod you Clarion.

Well I was today years old when I discovered Pepto Bismol tastes like Deep Heat milkshake...

"You don't have to compel us to do it, because we'd do it anyway."
"Cool, so it shouldn't be a problem if we do compel you then, should it?"
"Oh no, don't do that..."

Well, The Telegraph got its scalp.

Disney Plus will be stopping funding for Doctor Who!

Also, they always start the text with your name, I've noticed. So even if I can only seen the first few words on my phone's lock screen I *know* anything that starts "Hey Rebecca," will almost certainly follow up with "unfortunately I'm not going to make it".

When I was sitting with a 3.5-year-old old at a kid's birthday, she looks up at me & says: "Bye bye."
Me: "Oh, are you going?"
Her:"No, you are."
That was several years ago and the burn mark still hasn't gone.

Every damn time

Close Labour, close, but could we perhaps stop pandering to the right by pretending/implying that Indefinite Leave to Remain is anywhere close to being automatic? (it costs thousands in visa fees to get anywhere near ILR for a start)

Nice water feature outside South Norwood Station @thameswater.bsky.social...

(OK I know what the complaint really is, but what are we meant to pretend it is?)

So wait, this woman didn't feel comfortable using the same loos as a trans woman, so she used alternative facilities that were simply available to her without having to mention it to her employer... Sorry, what's the complaint against the employer here exactly?

Shop display of bottle openers with wooden penises for handles, some decorated with folk art-style motifs

Almost every place you go on holiday - no matter how full of artisan boutiques - will have one or more shops selling these lovingly crafted wooden knob bottle openers.

But back home, I've never had someone hand me one of those to open a drink with.
Own up: who is it that's buying these??

Where can I find this list? My TBR shelf has some space on it at the moment.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

This is the thing: the political exploitation of migration is entirely cynical and not related to reality. Both Immigration and net migration fell from
2023 to 2024 - net drastically from 860,000 to 431,000. Did you notice people calming down about it or saying it now felt under control?

Oh bollocks.
She absolutely doesn't deserve this.

What an odd piece. You're obvs meant to think it's all v.unfair but it doesn't outright say that (even in Linehan's words), it lists negatives but doesn't expand & initially gives the impression of an interview - but with no original quotes. Then ends on a quote that makes him seem kinda unhinged?

Counterpoint: No you don't. They are all perfect and there's not a lot you can do about that
