These two pictures are completely different in lighting conditions and use of makeup. BBC, do better.

Many years ago, i had a serious mental health crisis and was hospitalised for it. The care was actually really good and that week on a womens ward did in fact save my life. Had i been treated as the nhs now says i should be, i would have in fact, only been pushed deeper into my suicidal crisis

Incredible softening and qualification ("suggest", "perception", "many", "might", "hoped") here by Chris Mason of poll results which consistently and clearly show - to quote the actual question - that a majority think it was wrong to leave the EU.

Is faith now defined as the love of money, sex and power?

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...

Do you ever get the strange feeling you are being watched?

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

I like Romesh, but he’s been asking for this.

I see that Toby Young had written about an elite university messing up by elevating someone who may not have been actually qualified to be there. Interesting stuff

The Guardian once asked me 'what one change would you make to achieve Black equality in Britain?' and it feels appropriate to share my answer again

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

I suspect the major difference with this form of American interference in British democracy, and whatever they’ve been up to since World War II, is that this time the public have been told about it.

The meaning of Gove.

After Zia Yusuf accuses critics of endangering Reform politicians with violent language, he is read a list of quotes where he called Reform's opponents "lunatics who deserve extinction", "sick arsonists" and "traitors" who will face a "reckoning". He says these are in "a totally different category"

Police investigate £500,000 Reform donations from mother of fraudster who backed Farage

Having failed to interest any papers in this story, I resorted to writing a letter to The Times, like in olden times. So when all that's left to watch is NASCAR racing sponsored by Cheetos, I can at least say I tried. #ITV #Sky #Comcast

More problems for Farage. He really has a problem with transparency. transparency.eu/transparency...

Who can forget Farage’s statesman like support for Corbyn, when Corbyn was suffering regular door step harassment by the media?

Yeah, it occurs to me that unlike other politicians, I don’t know what the front of Farage’s house looks like.

Project Toynbee: Present cautious and centrist Labour leaders as radicals.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

FYI, "In the world but not of it" doesn't really fit with American Pride, but whatever, logical inconsistency is a feature of evangelicalism, not a bug.

Just had to explain who Peter Thiel is to my mother, a woman who has CNN on in her house every waking moment. Starting to think it’s a problem that men like this can just fly under the radar because their friends own the press.

Americans need to come to terms with massive migration shifts as the equator gets hotter driving millions of people northward. #BookSky Turning the clock back to 1950 will not work. 🧵1/2 👇 next

Here we are again - a party that loudly shouted about “protecting” our children from the LGBTQ+ community and yet not quite so interested in protecting children from their own violence - grotesque but at least for once, caught before dead www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Figures since 1997 Dr Who regenerations 7 UK Prime Ministers 8

1 in 6 British Prime Ministers are alive now.

Donaldson used the anti gender movement to position himself as a man concerned with women’s and children’s safety - while abusing with impunity.

In stark contrast to their reporting on NHS failures, UK tabloids never make much noise about major problems related to the police.

Wise words from Bob.

Radio 4 answering the big moral questions.

Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area. It is becoming completely uninhabitable. What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?

Tony Blair tells Radio 4 that the £257 million his institute has received from a billionaire AI investor has absolutely nothing to with his lobbying for the AI industry

You will not find a more "convenient faith" among world religions than MAGA Christianity, a set of ever-reactive, constantly shifting commandments organized around one and only one all-important principle: guys should be able to get away with whatever they want.

FOX NEWS: Americans are still feeling economic pain. The president is not getting good approval ratings right now. How do you and he fix that before November? MIKE LAWLER: Look, there are some really positive indicators. The stock market continues to hit record highs.

Totally normal stuff. Completely standard for cabinet secretaries to give millions to those charged with overseeing them. Especially in relation to Epstein. Yup. Nothing to see here. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Labour lost almost four times as many voters to the Greens as they did to Reform UK in the local elections, according to new YouGov polling

Trump complains he can't brag about the Iran War because of the "little man with the $4 gasoline": "I don't want to say we're making a fortune ... because if I say it, they're going to say, 'He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.'"

crucial context: Peter Mandelson was sacked from the first New Labour government for having a £373,000 *loan* (not a gift) from a Labour colleague (Geoffrey Robinson) to buy a house
