Dear ICE,

If you don't like being called Nazis, maybe stop doing so much Nazi-like shit?

Cunk spittin Christmas cheer
Philomena Cunk standing beside a Santa statue saying the good children will get lots of presents and so, it turns out, will the bad ones. In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children that's because Santa judges a child's goodness based largely on parental income.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Bari Weiss this morning on the 60 Minutes segment: "We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera."

Of course, most journalists know that oftentimes people who are the subject of negative reporting don't want to speak on camera or on the record.

Trump has "outsourced torture carried out with American money, American authority, and deliberate deniability."

CBS News didn't just cancel the 60 Minutes CECOT report.

Weiss yanked it bc she knows Trump is lying about something horrific, and she's covering for him.

Title: "Streeting: Starmer must go further to undo Brexit"

First few sentences: Turns out Streeting "suggested" this, by "hinting" at stuff.

The actual quote: Turns out Streeting didn't even do that. In any way. 😂

A perfect summary of 2025 'reporting'. ~AA
Streeting: Starmer must go further to undo Brexit Health Secretary hints at rejoining customs union and praises economic potential of EU Dominic Penna Senior Political Correspondent 21 December 2025 11:07am GMT Related Topics Wes Streeting, Keir Starmer, European Union, Brexit, EU Customs Union 3877 Gift this article free Wes Streeting Wes Streeting spoke of the ‘enormous economic benefits’ of being in the customs union and single market Credit: Lucy North/PA Wes Streeting has suggested that Sir Keir Starmer must go further in undoing Brexit. The Health Secretary has hinted at the prospect of Britain rejoining the EU’s custom union as he spoke of the “massive economic hit” the country had taken from Brexit. He told The Observer: “The reason why leaving the EU hit us so hard as a country is because of the enormous economic benefits that came with being in the single market and the customs union. “This is a country and a government that wants a closer trading relationship with Europe. The challenge is any economic partnership we have can’t lead to a return to freedom of movement.” That would rule out a return to the single market – a condition of which would be freedom of movement between the UK and the EU – but not a customs union. He added: “We’ve taken a massive economic hit leaving the European Union. I’m really uncomfortable with the level of taxation in this country “We’re asking a lot of individual taxpayers, we’re asking a lot of businesses. We’ve got a level of indebtedness that we need to take very seriously. The best way for us to get more growth into our economy is a deeper trading relationship with the EU.” Sir Keir has already moved closer to the EU, striking a new trade deal with the bloc in May that included major concessions on fishing and red tape.
