So Trump’s closing argument is that high gas prices are good because his donors who run oil companies are making bank, Jon Husted has a nice ass but not quite as good as Nicki Minaj’s ass, after 7 months the Reflecting Pool is almost done, and we get a ballroom, arch and helipad.

Mahmood’s immigration minister, Jo White: “I don’t want us to get into that spiral where people move out of the care sector because they’ve got leave to remain.” In other words, keep them on insecure visas as bonded labourers. I think she just doesn't like them.

The BBC: Please pay the licence fee and give us a sustainable funding settlement Also the BBC: We don’t like LGBT people

Musk lied, people died — again.

I'm happy to pay a licence fee surcharge to keep this case going for as long as is humanly possible

vivek’s a republican, shouldn’t he be better at grabbing kids

It’s entirely possible there have been criminal offences committed here Eg false accounting

"As far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals into the biggest bin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly."

I don't know enough about sports journalism and who's sourced with who to know who is briefing this to Ornstein and why. But oooofph. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Ed Sheeran's agent: Ok fuck me that was a wild few days. Still we should be over the worst of it now...

While Piddington dominates the news, at Leicester Crown Court this man was sentenced today Ivan Jennings, a former Conservative councillor, called for terror attacks on small boat migrants and Muslims and shared target ideas, telling fellow white supremacists to kill as many “subhumans” as possible

Excellent

Vader: Alderaan explosion not caused by Death Star

Dismayed by defeat of the assisted dying bill. Nothing was won today – no new palliative care funding, no new disability support. And the suffering that brought this bill to parliament remains.

FUN FACT: The reason we sell petrol by the litre but measure performance by mpg is because in the 1970s oil shock, British pumps had exactly the same issue and it was easier to put stickers over the word "gallon" rather than retrofitting all the dials.

Do Telegraph editors and subs not know the difference between “refugee” and “former refugee”, or don’t they care? Profoundly unpatriotic as well as inaccurate headline @jdportes.bsky.social

Badenoch v Barnett on R4 Today proving that Badenoch will fall apart under the scrutiny of a general election campaign

I'm sorry but: a journalist knocked on my mum's door, so now she can "never, ever" go back to it? I thought it was millennials / gen z who were supposed to be the snowflakes? Or the libs that get triggered?

There's a constant insinuation that Ed Miliband is not a 'real Jew', and it seems very bad

Well, look at that.

If you’re not Jewish you won’t understand how simultaneously hurtful and enraging this is I can only imagine how hard it must be for Ed Miliband, the son of literal Holocaust survivors - whatever you think of him, he does not deserve this

Honestly the thing I’ve found oddest about that interview and the Beeb’s whole framing in general is the insistence on framing it as an internal Labour party disputes thing. Canada and vast chunks of the EU doing the same don’t get a mention.

The Chief Rabbi speaks for Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and their apologists in this country. Ed Miliband speaks for me and many other British Jews.

The dark irony of people pearl clutching about the ethnic cleaning statements is if you actually spoke to the average hill top settler they would tell you: yes, we are ethnically cleansing - that is exactly what we are doing

Here's the BBC's Political Editor Chris Mason basically repeating the Reform line on why Ed Miliband announced today's sanctions in response to Israeli government-enabled ethnic cleansing on the West Bank. It's all about winning back Muslim votes. That's it.

I'm sure Chris Mason will be all over it😂

Can't decide whether the footage from Dover or of the audience and protestor at the Reform conference is the most chilling.

I’ve so missed Nadine Dorries’ unique and dynamic approach to live television interviews. Channel 4 News.

Prison?

The hunt to locate BBCs Chris Mason continues - last seen in Nigel Farage's large intestine 🤨

"The out of touch elites think this will hurt Farage" when he's literally the most unpopular politician in the country.

After all the recent fuss over some non-criminal behaviour from a Cambridge academic, let's see how much attention this Cambridge Professor of Divinity gets in the press...given we're now talking criminal behaviour I'm sure we'll see hundreds and hundreds of articles in the Times and the Telegraph?

Just keep muttering to myself "he was still trying to solicit another donation during the by election he held to avoid the investigation."

Share a thought tonight for James Johnson, who will for once not have to motivatedly reason his way to why a poll-related news story is positive for the Tories, but won't be able to share that insight.

"alright our kid could you get Farage bang to rights on tape accepting foreign donations?"
