The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

Families are already seeing petrol prices rise, mortgage rates go up and energy deals get more expensive because of a war they did not start or support.
While the Conservatives and Reform cheer Trump on, I asked the PM if he will just stand by and watch energy bills skyrocket.
UKRAINE HAS DRIVEN 12km INTO RUSSIAN LINES AMD REGAINED 400KM IN THE SOUTH EAST
The ISW has finally confirmed its assessment that Ukraine - which has seemingly stopped its advance for now, presumably to consolidate its gains, retook 400kmsq and penetrated 12km

Trump has threatened our allies, eyed up Greenland and is now criticising Britain over a war he started.
We shouldn’t reward his bad behaviour with a state visit.

The Finnish name for #Finland is Suomi.
In Finnish “suo” means “swamp” or “bog.”
(I’m told that is a coincidence, but, well, look at this map of peatlands :)

Mir fällt die Wahl ja leicht, und dir so?
Here's to all those who fought the odds & still fighting.
To all those women who built families, created companies, raised generations, became champions, had careers, entered politics, stood up.
Today & every day we honour those who came before as we make the path smoother for those who come next.
This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
I looked up the Board of Peace website.
No news since 22 January.
Trump says (on the site) that it has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created.
I’d love someone to ask him why it hasn’t featured in his Iran strategy.
My students' writing topic was "If you could send one modern item back in time to one specific era, what item and era would you pick?". Huge range from "bicycle to China, 500 BCE" to "rabid badger to Boris Johnson's college room, 1984".
He looks like he's made of tallow. Should go up a treat.
The groundswell of anger against Katie Hopkins touring Britain like she's just some normal celebrity grows.
Well done to local people in Dorset who aren't taking it lying down.

Becca Balint to Kristi Noem: “You are not above the law. Todd Lyons is not above the law. Nobody working for you is above the law—
You think you're immune from accountability — but I promise you this, one day he’s not going to be president anymore — and we are going to continue to prove your guilt”
Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
Total bollocks
Bloody hell
South Park writer leads calls for Barron Trump to be drafted as president says more American casualties expected in Iran conflict
It's from those big blokes kissing him too hard.
Today I challenged the Prime Minister on Trumps justification for attacks on Iran
There is no doubt that this was an evil regime led by a despot but international law exists so nations cannot take law into their own hands.
MPs will continue to insist that UK is not dragged into an illegal war
“Trump is disappointed with Keir Starmer”
Trump has just spent the last 12 months taking the piss out of our war dead, threatening to collapse NATO, aiding and abetting Russian aggression, and angling to invade a European country’s sovereign territory.
And he wants us to help?
He’s off his tits.
James Bond on a tram in Bratislava in the Living Daylights
So, watched The Living Daylights with the kids yesterday. Time flies.
The plot revoles around helping a defector flee Czechoslovakia - a country that doesn't exist anymore - while at a classical music concert.
Kids: "Why couldn't he just leave?"
Hmmm, so...
So Ukrainians have to step up to help the USA when the USA won't help Ukraine?
