Sometimes it's worth reminding yourself how completely unhinged is the British press. And yet this is what many people rely on to form their opinions.

Kudos to the BBC for this headline. Just goes to show doesn't it? Social media favours progressives. Because obviously the billionaires who control it are um secret socialists. Shouldn't joke. No doubt there are people who believe that.

Here I am with the winner of Clacton's annual 'Point At A Twat' competition.

No sympathy for Kim Jong Un but this is just a propaganda piece by the BBC. How many world leaders *don't* take holidays that would be 'unimaginable' to their citizens? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If I wanted to start a conspiracy theory I'd say he's doing the gay stuff to soften up MAGA. He knows that when the evidence is revealed it's only the boy stuff that will bother them. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Apologies to the cartoonist 'politicsingroup'. I had to tweak this because s/he forgot to put the victim in a wheelchair. God bless the USA.

So Russia *did* interfere in the Brexit referendum but it made no difference. It's lucky the result wasn't close or that would be hard to believe 🙄

The price of Trump meme coins has collapsed from above $40 to below $2. But fear not MAGAs. This was not just a rug-pull designed to enrich him by $635m. If you hold enough of them you're in with the chance of attending a gala dinner where you yourself might be pointed at by the handsome young man.

The ICC was set up to investigate war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Rubio is quite literally saying those things are OK by the United States. Anyone who buys goods or services from that nation is complicit. And yes, I know BlueSky is American.

Once again Trump is overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize. But all is not lost. December approaches & it's possible FIFA will make him a two-time winner. But there's been suspiciously little discussion about the likely winner of this year's FIFA award. Surely that prize isn't being quietly forgotten?

Kemi Badenoch revealed today to an excited public that she believes in common sense. This isn't new, it's something constantly repeated by the right and their media mouthpieces. But why? Because we're invited to believe that leaders of other parties don't believe in common sense? It's just weird.

Andy Burnham: from the high of the conference speech to the low of a potential lettuce event?

The Conservatives really think people are stupid. "Leaving the EU can't be to blame because it happened years ago" They know very well that the damage caused by Brexit is long-term and that it gets worse every year. So pinning the blame on Brexit is exactly what should be done.

It's almost as if he's lying and hasn't been briefed.

Because a bit more austerity is exactly what the UK needs. And this follows his proposed fossil fuel tax cut. Ed Davey seems to be on a mission to lose votes. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When there's a 'western world storm in a teacup' I prefer to stay out of it. How important is Sheeran to bereaved parents in Gaza? But 'unjustifiable'? Stop digging mate. Killing tens of thousands of children is what?.. 'maybe quite a good idea but a bit tricky to justify'? Sorry, you're disgusting.

This newspaper's voters want nothing more than a return to the 1970s. Not sure the Express chose the right headline today!

Just received this response from the BBC. I'd asked if they were trying to promote Reform or if their political reporters are really so ignorant they didn't know only His Majesty's Official Opposition can have Shadow Ministers. Not much of a reply is it? We still don't know which is the explanation.

Staying at a Leonardo Hotel this week. Just discovered it's Israel-owned. This sort of thing could be avoided by a simple mandatory banner on the booking site: "Warning ⚠️ this product may contain genocide" Let the consumer make an informed choice.

Can someone really work as a political reporter at the BBC if they don't know what a shadow minister is? Yes they've now corrected it, but this is ignorant at best. Or is someone at the corporation desperate to normalise Reform and their neo-fascist agenda?

Here in Spain visitors will be unfamiliar with the Spanish word tapas. But luckily this place offers an English translation 🙄

The Bin has sold out. He's doing politician things.

So is Grimes lying or just mistaken? I imagine he doesn't really know who Sánchez is but sees an opportunity today to attack 'the Left'.

Just realised this: My British friends think England defeated Germany in the second world war. Non-British friends think the Soviet Union defeated the Nazis. I guess neither is correct but the British view is less useful and more harmful.

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

'Judeo-Christian values' sounds like such a harmless phrase but it works perfectly for the far right. Ticks every box: Assert cultural supremacy. Whitewash pogroms. And the Holocaust. Justify homophobia. Support white nationalism. Oppose LGBTQ+ rights. Avoid openly racist language. Undermine DEI.

Celebrating someone's murder is unpleasant. But there are people whose hatred and bigotry means the world is better without them.

I think the BBC is the UK's most important cultural asset. It's made terrible errors and has caused widespread anger but it's not Fox News or Murdoch or Viscount Rothermere. For all its faults it's something to be defended. But that's difficult when it publishes loving reviews of a neo-nazi rally.

Speaking with Spanish person about building regulations... Me: 'How can this possibly be allowed? Someone could stick one finger in the power and the other in the water' Spanish person: 'Yes but no-one would ever do that' Me: 'We would. We're the nation that voted to leave the EU' 😐

Trump is hastening Britain’s return to the EU ft.trib.al/Id5nUxg

It's not hindsight. A year ago I posted this headline and suggested this comment made Mandelson an unsuitable choice for Labour. How is it possible that someone not even living in the UK could see this and Starmer couldn't? Does Starmer think it's funny to laugh at the idea of 'woke'?

I'm genuinely shocked. Many nice, liberal, Trump-opposing Americans on here regretting the deaths of seven military personnel. Yes of course. But not a word about the thousands of others, including hundreds of children. Why not? These people are less important because they're not American?

Guess they don't have AI in the White House? AI easily contradicts him.

Farage answer generator: “[Something offensive] but [something reasonable]“

If anyone still doubts that he exploits the ill-informed and the poorly-educated this makes it pretty clear. Must be a lot of MAGAs feeling bruised. If only German had a word for it. gettrumpmemes.com

Peter 'I think Trump will be pretty reasonable' Mandelson quoted in yesterday's FT. Hahaha 'wokey-cokey'. So amusing. Dismissing concern for others with such a witty remark. This is the UK's new ambassador to the USA.

This was supposedly the reason for the ban so now they've been acquitted it must be safe to say I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

BBC News is at it again. While mangling English grammar they report that maybe the Norwegian government choose Nobel Laureates or maybe they don't. "If someone says it's raining and another person says it's dry...your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true" Jonathan Foster

Apparently the Gammon are busy sharing this. Hard to tell if it's a spoof but I think maybe not. Pretty sure after the referendum he said 'You lost get over it. No need for another vote'.

What do I like about the Daily Express? I think it's the surrealism.
