Mark yer diaries. Not one but TWO headline gigs on Sunday 25th October. First up is an all-ages show at Crystal Palace Bowl in Crystal Palace Park 2pm-4pm. Free Entry, bring the kids! Later, we make our way to The Finsbury Pub on Green Lanes for a Sound Sniffer Headline Show. 8pm, also Free Entry!

Shocking moment says the Daily Mail, as if this isn't happening regularly.

In his Daily Mail column today, describing Trump as "toast," Richard Littlejohn mocks the President's attempted annexation of Greenland as being mad, using the phrase "nurse!" Here's what Littlejohn wrote about it when Trump first suggested it

Then maybe don’t send him to bloody boarding school… #Cruelty

One. Bad. Apple.

This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start

Burnham just hides when the big decisions that fuck us and the climate are made. Luckily, he’s going to be fucked with his Man City grants, hospitality and links.

I wrote about Elon Musk's fake flying car and its mid-air collision with lazy "CEO said a thing!" pseudo-journalism:

Birgu Fest 2026 in Malta. Including the Birgu Candle Festival. Bloody epic!

If you cleaned up Reform UK, there wouldn't be anything or anyone left.

Still, good to see Andy Burnham continuing the long, proud labour tradition of introducing new laws against things that are already illegal.

I mean it’s not a vetting problem, is it? It’s that it’s a racist party, run by racists, with racist policies, for the benefit of racists. The fact that it turns out to be full of racists is not a glitch

Parents tell older siblings this because they need the reassurance. All youngest children (especially those of us born after long age gaps) know that parents continue having children until they have the good one.

The court artist has got to be trolling him at this stage 😄

Who amongst us hasn't been provoked into saying black people are animals and the King is a secret Muslim who should be decapitated?

I was on the telly.

A wonderful weekend in Malta for the Birgu Candle Festival. I know. Me neither, until a few months ago. Look it up. Go. You can thank me later. Also, Bigilla. 😋

It’s a cult. Run by cunts.

As Mic notes, the Streisand effect is particularly strong when articles are removed wholesale without explanation brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/michael-go...

Zelensky confirms that Ukraine will keep bombing Yandex data centres. Going to be lots of spotty youths and sad old gits living in their mum's attic, wondering where their online girlfriend went.

The police really don't seem to have a clue about the right to report on protests pressgazette.co.uk/media_law/fi...

NEW | On disappearing stories… MICHAEL GOVE, LOLA SALEM, AND A SUDDEN SILENCE Why did a series of newspaper stories vanish and why are right-wing organisations involved in a coordinated campaign to forget about one particular contributor? brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/michael-go...

Remembering my dear friend John Prine, on what would have been his 80th birthday this Saturday. I miss him deeply, as all of us who love him do. What a gift he will always be.

Good afternoon from 37,000 ft over The Alps.

I've just updated the piece after discovering that the King lent Mountbatten-Windsor the £1.5mn.

Olafur Arnalds tonight in London. Falling Apart Together Tour. Sublime. Go if you can. Even the shit journey back to deepest darkest East Sussex wouldn’t put me off going again. And I think I will. fallingaparttogether.com

"The prosecution case is that Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate used and threatened physical and sexual violence in order to maintain control and compliance." Where are the voices from the self appointed defenders of women and young girls who would usually be on this? www.reuters.com/world/uk/tat...

passing the "zionism is racism" motion on the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street is a bit on the fucking nose isn't it

They're quite grim now tbf.

Truly vile. At a public event, Mike Graham mocked Andy Burnham’s father for having Alzheimer’s, less than three weeks after Roy Burnham died and apparently on the day of his funeral. Just the lowest of the low.

Probably the best view from a coffee shop in East Sussex.

According to Suella Braverman not one of these ENGLAND players are English. FUCK HER 🖕🖕🏾🖕🏿🖕🏽🖕🏼

Spanish actor Javier Bardem is calling to boycott Starbucks for supporting the genocide in Palestine

"The one thing your viewers can know for sure is that we believe in controlling spending and reducing taxes, not increasing taxes," says Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, whose own government raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years, just two years ago.

Iran gonna die of old age before Trump actually STFU and does ANYTHING

The way the Cornell victim is being publicly disbelieved by a lot of journalists, officials, and online posters is also a warning shot to every other victim not to dare to actually pursue a case against your rapist lest you suffer the same fate. It’s a means of protecting the status quo

SNAP POLL / By 48% to 28%, Britons support Andy Burnham's proposal to change the triple lock in order to help fund part of a national care service yougov.com/en-gb/daily-... yougov.com/en-gb/daily-... yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Anyway, it's not really true that Brexit has done more harm than good. It hasn't done any good at all.

PMSL. The people who benefit from the Triple Lock are the people who don’t vote Labour. They will almost all vote Reform or Tory. Finally a PM who gets this. No need to pander to them. They give Labour nothing.

peter thiel is another one of those guys who we are supposed to think is brilliant but every time he opens his mouth my first thought is “this guy sounds like an idiot”

Daniel Thomas/Tommo has been charged, with a single count of criminal damage, plus a fresh charge under Regulation of Investigatory Powers for failing to provide his phone pin. He will appear in Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

it saddens me that Taylor Swift has a new song coming out, I think that we, as free people, should be allowed to spend more than 17 minutes at a time without being made to think about Taylor Swift, her last tour lasted for 85 years, can she not rest for a little while longer

Please can someone call the burns unit? 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Not a dicky bird about thugs trying to sink a dinghy with a rescue worker on board or their claims to be "forming an army". Two boats of people seeking safety land and bingo bango they're the ones portrayed as the issue. Labour is complict in the rise of the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Are any Labour MPs going to have the nerve to say so publicly? If a Conservative Home Secretary had issued the statement Shabana Mahmood has put out today they'd be able to find their voices. So why not now?

I did say Shabana Mahmood would be on the side of the thugs. Burnham keeping her in post was an utter disgrace. Labour supporters should be brave enough to say so. So should Labour MPs.
