Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

1/10 If the last few days of Iranian strikes on Dubai have proven anything, it’s that a massive number of people completely despise the city and those living there.

And honestly? There are very good reasons to despise them.

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

Wait a minute, fifa are expecting Iran to pull out of the world cup, surely as the aggressor the USA should be kicked out. Like Russia, yes?

The most hilarious thing about today is Reform blaming their loss on Islamists…

…who famously always vote in their masses for women and gay Jewish men.

one extremely clear thing about the BAFTA situation is that the BBC editing out 'free Palestine' and not the n-word is exactly the kind of clown-shoed institutional racism that makes people dislike the BBC

It's shameful that Starmer's government can't muster even a fraction of the fury it reserves for the Greens to go after Reform and Britain's growing far-right movement - the people who really do mean to cause huge harm to the nation.

Your weekend reminder that, in 2022, the current and former monarchs of the UK gave millions of pounds to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to help him settle a civil case brought by one of his victims, a woman so traumatised by her ordeal that she later took her own life.

The entire monarchy is rotten.

Also this whole situation is providing the clearest most damning justification for dismantling the monarchy in this country. They all knew. And as a result they’re all up to their necks in this. They shouldn’t be allowed to pretend that they’re not.

Burn the whole thing down and salt the earth.

Apparently people aren't excited about spending $56,000 per ticket to attend a World Cup game.

Hmmm, what else could be contributing to a lack of hype?

Man who moved abroad to avoid hundreds of millions of pounds of tax and whose business have benefited from hundreds of millions of pounds of public funds believes that, 'Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants, who are draining resources from the state.'

Fifteen minutes into Anaconda and I really think the world needs to move on from Jack Black. Watching him now makes me so uncomfortable. Almost cringey. Watching a man in his 50s still trying to keep up the schtick he's had for decades.

I was told that my reviews are no longer valid because 'I put my stamp of approval' on Starfleet Academy.

We must always make up our own minds about what we enjoy, and what we choose to spend our time watching.

Don't let me, or anyone, decide what you enjoy, or don't.

You are unique :) xx

Hi can you put the audience behind me in blue to give it a sort of Sith watching Palpatine vibe in Rise of Skywalker.

I know I say this every six months, but if you can’t imagine how working from home might make some people more productive, you have basically never progressed from being a schoolboy, and do not understand that a lot of workers derive motivation from something other than the fear of punishment.

Keep seeing this Copilot ad in which a woman pulls off a shit-hot 'business negotiation' by tapping away at Copilot to ask its advice every 20 seconds, as if that would put you in a position of strength rather than implying that you didn't have a fucking clue what you were doing.

How ADHD became a multimillion-pound industry for private equity NHS has become dependent on privately run services to diagnose ADHD and autism as patients given legal right to assessments under Right to Choose initiative

You’re right The Sunday Times! Now keep going! Say it after me:

β€œBillions in tax-payer money is being funnelled out of the NHS in various ways, because politicians are turning the NHS into a cash-cow for private shareholders.”

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.
