She’s certainly good value for money.

Beautiful building, and not a bad song!

My comic of choice back in the day. Look what it turned me into!

The Jeff Tiedrich challenge is still up there too!

We are not here to kink shame, Hugo.

We don’t hate you; we just don’t want to visit for a while.

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism

Either they didn’t think about the effect of the invasion on oil and gas prices or they did and didn’t care. I wrote a paper once distinguishing malice, recklessness, negligence, and incompetence. Sometimes you get them all at once.

Who knew?

Fantastic!

What’s the date today?

Trump probably doesn’t have much more space up his backside anyway; too full already of his sycophants.

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US presi

🇺🇸 All of that talking Britain down and pandering to the man in the White House to just be ignored...

Trump really blew up a school of little girls in Iran and then he lied about it.

It’s a really interesting read.

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

How about investing in wind, solar, and nuclear power to finally stop being dependent on lunatics for our economies to function?

In my work as Mayor of London and in my life, I’m surrounded by women who make our city and our world better every day.

To the women leading, creating, caring and keeping our city thriving: thank you.

Happy International Women’s Day.

To see the right in the UK demand the country follows a US leader in his requirements for tribute to aggression with no plan devalues them and their arguments on any foreign relations. The radicalised traumatised right of politics resemble the revolutionary left of my childhood.

Morning Ted, your photo is a beacon of light in what is otherwise a complete online shitshow. Have a great day, and thank you!

My Jewish friends are often challenged about whether they are loyal to Israel over Britain. Whatever dichotomy people imagine there, it shrinks to nothing compared to the willingness of the right wing here to betray our country for Trump

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

BricHomme for me.

Note that the electoral side is that important given how awful this proposal is but... I am sure the sight of sobbing children being handcuffed and dragged onto planes will boost the Government's standing with the progressive voters we're losing.

Fuck. This.

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

The vitriol displayed by the right wing papers against the Government for its sane & reasoned approach to events in the Middle East, which enjoys overwhelming public support, is something to behold. They cant bear to support Keir Starmer on anything, even when they & their readers know he’s right.
