Another joyful bout of made up class warfare from The Telegraph. Actually hilarious. (To be honest, I don’t much like babies with pierced ears either.)
But interesting to note the ‘upbringing’ bit.
SHOCKED - because I thought conservatives believed talent, not privilege rose to the top. 🤔

OK. We throw away the first Ashes test. And then this happens. I think I might be having some sort of hallucinatory existential crisis.

I do love it when Americans say 'Political violence has no place in America' and you think that's rather like saying 'animals have no business living in the jungle' or 'the sun does not live in the sky'.

What an absolutely lovely gesture. Essentially the anti-Tice.

I mean, do fuck off. ‘Farage faces allegations of racism?’
It’s not news, is it?
The problem has never been allegations. It’s the amount of people who agree with him.

Let’s put it simply:
If there was anything genuinely incriminating Trump in the Epstein files they’re releasing, they wouldn’t be releasing them.
I’m sure plenty of people know where the bodies are buried, but this is not where you’ll find them.

Hardly surprised by any of these ‘revelations’. You only need him to be interviewed by a grown-up (hello @mrjamesob.bsky.social) to see the mask clatter to the floor.
But I would be fascinated to know why The Guardian chose moody B&W shots of him looking like something out of the French New Wave.

This, from The Telegraph, should frighten us all. The BBC made a clumsy edit of a speech to give a false impression of Trump’s actual syntax before a coup attempt inspired by his Big Lie. People died.
Trump’s pathological lying is what has changed the media landscape.
Tempted to sue The Telegraph.

Delighted to reach 7K followers on here. Thank you all.
Personally I find it quite hard to believe there are 7000 filthy pinko libtard snowflake leftie bleeding hearts still operating in this country, as it swings so bravely towards fascism - but it’s my echo chamber, and I rather like it.

Cos we have a capitalist system that can only sustain itself by continuous, conspicuous consumption. The profits have to come from somewhere!
We are living in Douglas Adams’ Shoe Event Horizon & Vimes’ ‘Boots’ economic theory.
Brought home to me yesterday when 2 charity shops refused my donations.

Absolute f**king credit to the nation that one. 🙄
(I’m no rabid poppy watching patriot, but with that and Sunak’s failure to turn up at D-Day, the Tories can hardly be shocked a certain type of voter has deserted them for Reform in droves.)

Tim Davie is accused of misleading the British public & must ‘explain or resign’ according to Boris Johnson, a man who spent his entire political career misleading the British public with no explanation, & only resigned when his enough of his MPs resigned rather than serve under him. Jog on BoJo.

Love the euphemism inherent in this analysis. Is it really the Mamdani ‘policy profile’ that won’t ‘appeal in swing states’? Or perhaps they’re worried there just *might* be something else they don’t like about him… 🤔

To quote the descriptive genius that is Edmund Blackadder, Donald Trump really does have all the taste of ‘a dung beetle who’s lost interest in his career and really let himself go,’ doesn’t he?

Fuck I hate the media. Why is this even a story? Surely the ONE positive thing you can say about Andrew is he fought in the Falklands, so he got a medal.
Taking it away would be denying reality in the way his his brother’s chest is full of medals he did nothing to earn.
Why is that not the story!?
