Wild how GB News can spend years screaming about grooming gangs and demanding total transparency on child sexual abuse…but the moment Trump sits down with them, its all smiles

It doesn't count when it's rich white men, have I got that right?

My favourite quote from Boris Johnson on ChatGPT:

“ChatGPT always says ‘Oh, your questions are clever. You’re brilliant. You’re excellent.’ I love it.”

God speed whichever broadcaster takes this on and can convince the entire nation that this isn’t “just The Traitors” when it’s just The Traitors.

A thing that never stops being weird to me about social media is the sheer number of people who have hallucinated a version of a political figure who is completely different from the person whose opinions you can, you know, read about in books.

Really good sign that *checks notes* ConservativeHome hasn’t realised that this isn’t a photo of *checks notes* Conservative Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride.

The cynicim of this rancid attack in Manchester. Jewish people have been telling us for years they feel less safe. It'd about time they are believed.

Terrible news that two people were killed in Manchester attending their place of worship at the synagogue in Manchester, with others seriously injured.

Community Security Trust @cstuk.bsky.social who do so much to keep Jewish people safe at faith and community spaces have issued this advice.

There’s competition, I know. But threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of the affiliates of an entire “big-3” television network unless they stop their evening talk show host from criticizing the president has to be one of the biggest First Amendment violations in U.S. history.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

1) This is from a deputy leadership candidate, it is not from the Guardian
2) I am sick of Labour supporters who have absolutely nothing to lose from the end of the taboo against open racism lecturing those of us who do. Can you people hear yourselves?
I’m sick of the Guardian’s ‘Labour must…’ habit. Closely followed by ‘That’s good from Labour but…’. I can’t remember the previous government getting this treatment despite laying waste to our economy, public services and standards in public life.

so not only is this appalling man peddling utter garbage about autism, he's also blaming women for their children's autism (Tylenol is paracetamol, fellow Brits). What a disgusting person he is
