Ok, some ASHE charts. Two headlins before getting on to implications for 2027 min wage. First - low pay didn't fall (actually rose slightly) for the first time in 15 years. That's not surprising. Policy has been to peg minimum wage to median wage in recent years.

Well, would you look at that…

Currently suffering from a plague of rat. Yes, rat. Just the one, but it's very persistent.

Some absolute corkers in this. These people are insane

Just straight up trying to lose the senate & the house, ey champ?

I wonder if Natalie photoshopped this up for him or if there is someone else that does that

Yikes, things are going well I see www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are in the maddest fucking timeline

Exciting local gov reorg announcements being made which I’m sure everyone will be happy with and we won’t see any unhinged responses at all!

Good fucking riddance

Inside you there are two wolves etc etc

There is a not insignificant proportion of the PLP that are simply not that bright & deserve to lose

Please, please, please more of this! Town centre voxpops on a weekday at 2:30pm only attracts gobshites!

The smuggest cunts you know are about to get sacked

1. Labour needs a second term to renew this country after years of Tory failure. On the current trajectory, we won’t get there because we will lose, and Farage will win. That should be nobody’s legacy.

🚨 VERGE HOMEPAGE REFRESH 🚨https://www.theverge.com/bulletin/914842/the-next-evolution-of-the-verges-homepage-is-here

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

Britons are wrong about almost everything, part 382

It's only force majeure if it comes from the Majeure region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling shitshow.

We cannot stand for this Twunk erasure Please sign my petition at change.org

Holy shit, please, please, please someone let that CEO do the pod.

With a majority this large there were always going to be some dross in the PLP, but some of them up close are frightening. Totally unable to follow the logical conclusions of policies they’re supporting

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

Somebody else’s fault, again?

Britons are wrong episode #1176

Former UK PM Gordon Brown is providing - voluntarily and not for the first time - information to the police about abuses of power relating to the Epstein files. As PM Brown was briefed against by people such as Alistair Campbell and Peter Mandelson as being ‘psychologically flawed’ ….1/

The UK government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group has been ruled unlawful by the High Court I'm still in Japan, but had a feeling this ruling would come while I was away and so a story will be coming shortly...

When did ‘it has been the honour of my life…’ enter the political lexicon? It feels quite recent but is absolutely everywhere now

This is what I find frustrating about the ‘man of public service’ line coming from No.10 & their allies. Starmer is frequently dishonest & that has been apparent for some time. He is regularly full of shit & expects us to believe it & then feel bad for him when it’s time for the consequences. No!

In a previous life I worked out of a museum service for a bit. It cost £750k a year just to keep the building at the required temperature not to void our insurance on the collection. Heritage is INCREDIBLY expensive!

As a Europoor, American’s equating basic budgeting to destitution just makes me want a giant firewall in the middle of the Atlantic

Wowsers look at what happened to posts on Twitter/X about London crime after monetisation of posts was introduced… economist.com/britain/2026...

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...
