@BennyDreadful79 @BillingsgateBob I do always find it telling looking back that Gervais had a podcast/show that was literally just calling a dude who did half his work for him stupid and then not paying him.

Extremely online. Very Scottish. Blocking isn't a sign of anyone winning, but it can be very funny. He/him.

@BillingsgateBob The demise of Ricky Gervais has been spectacular. His shows are now divided into three sections;
1) I'm rich now
2) Trans people
3) Fat people

Looking back, with the wisdom I have gained over my 47 years, I have come to realise a very important thing. David Baddiel was carried by, first, Rob Newman, and then subsequently, Frank Skinner. He has never actually been funny.

@Crouchcrouch4 @mac123_m Cos it was floated by the one party in the UK to actually -win- on a pro-EU position and whom your political party despise? ;)
English
@mac123_m Yep, and I also remember why.
You don't by the look of it.

I am old enough to remember when Starmer sacked Labour MPs for voting to scrap the two child benefit cap. Are you?
Tom Hayes MP@TomHayesBmouth
Imagine a Britain where every child has the best start. That’s why Labour’s taking 450,000 kids out of poverty. Meanwhile Farage and Badenoch wallow in the past, keeping children in poverty, dragging us backwards as a country. Good to talk with Ben Kentish on LBC this morning.

Lmao? Those people are being taxed to pay for your pension, and the overwhelming majority are happy to do so despite how much you demonise them, so in this scenario you’re literally just giving the money back to them and acting like you’ve done a good deed.
Rush@exRAF_Al
Young people tend to spend more on transport, consumer goods, clothing, children, entertainment and holidays. Pensioners tend to spend more on tradesmen, healthcare, local goods and services, housing costs, gifts and energy. The idea that pension money is wasted, is facile. It funds the salaries and jobs of people who would otherwise be overlooked or in sectors that would be meaningfully smaller.

@strathisla_sosa @Altymcaltalt3 What I love about people like you is in our lifetime they did ban selling booze 1/7th of the time to appease the religious and you're so legitimately fucking stupid that you think it was Muslims.
English
@Altymcaltalt3 You shouldn’t be able to buy alcohol at all:
Alcohol is haram in Islam and makes Muslims uncomfortable.
If you consume alcohol you may be Islamophobic
Remember that

Are you mad? You can’t buy alcohol in Glasgow before 11 am?
What is this nazi Germany?

@Maxfield1112 @strathisla_sosa @Altymcaltalt3 As an Aberdonian can confirm they're all sad weird fucks who are simultaneously convinced they live in Basra while refusing to ever leave the city.
(If you wanna think further, yes, the surrounding country up here is objectively nice, yes they still refuse to leave the city)

NB The Times and The Financial Times are both running "Labour MP whose husband is accused of spying for China is alleged to have inappropriate relationship with senior naval officer", but although both stories are about the same MP, they're two different senior naval officers
Anna Mikhailova@AVMikhailova
The senior naval officer Reid was reported for 'inappropriate' behaviour with at Faslane is *separate* to the captain she is linked to tonight by the FT's @LOS_Fisher The captain has reportedly stepped back from duties after text messages exchanged with Reid

@profavi_ @SkipMcQueen Well you have to be able to laugh at yourself.

How does this make the nhs ' a sliver more efficient? '
purav@profavi_
@SkipMcQueen For wanting state healthcare to be a sliver more efficient without the whole thing being recklessly privatised (which it isn't)? Oh, the horror!
English
@profavi_ @SkipMcQueen And as an Oxbridge grad I assume those conversations are "what if the money went to a firm someone from my college owns!" ;)
English
@SkipMcQueen Because when we’re already spending £200 billion a year on the NHS and it’s still alarmingly inefficient perhaps conversations need to be had about how it’s structured… not really a controversial statement

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is reportedly urging White House aides to stop censoring reports of US military losses and Iranian military successes as well as plunging poll numbers and gas price trends from President Trump to make him realize what a disaster his great power war with Iran has become.
Vera Bergengruen@VeraMBergen
Susie Wiles has expressed concerns that aides are giving Trump “a rose-colored view of how the war was being perceived domestically, telling Trump what he wanted to hear” and urged them to “be “more forthright with the boss” about the political and economic risks. @EricCortellessa time.com/article/2026/0… apple.news/AdQHUbJyiR_ymh… This material may be protected by copyright.

🚨 It does say a lot about the politicisation of antisemitism that Fuck the IDF is considered more offensive and more controversial than “I love Hitler.”
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 NEW: Ed Davey has called on the Government to ban Kanye West from coming to the UK and performing at Wireless “This is a person who wrote a song praising Adolf Hitler, I can’t think of anything more antisemitic”
English
@truthnogetpikin @I_amMukhtar Sure, and you can enforce that locally; a local Pubwatch works fine enough to enforce bans (and even then folk slip through them)
How do you enforce it NATIONALLY?
English
@I_amMukhtar Images get circulated internally from mgmt down, they are asked to leave and police are called if they do not. There were tons of people banned from stores when I worked in retail. Usually the entire high road was connected with radio so you could trace them the whole way 🤷🏾♀️

@OfSymbols "conservatism is and only can be zero taxation except to fund the military and mass deportations" is in fact a fringe view. Your average Tory voter is politically closer to John Major than to Twitter user @ deportallthemmooslemsuk20245
English
@OfSymbols I also think, looking at this guys' comments, he doesn't realise he's a nutjob. "SOME TORY COUNCILS HAVE DECADES-OFF NET ZERO TARGETS"
The idea you need regulatory forces to boost consumer confidence was in fact deeply mainstream capitalist conservatism for decades.

There are still large swaths of the country who were totally unaffected by austerity and economic stagnation, and dont really care about the rest.

@escipion54208 @El_nojuanj @esotericcschizo My favourite is naming China the same name China's never called itself but exclusively Westerners call it in olde tim racist literature.
English
@El_nojuanj @esotericcschizo The funny thing is when they simply gave up and called Japan "Nippon" (the real name of Japan), "Araby", England "Albion," and so on with various real names.
