Keir Starmer has been a disappointment, but anyone calling him 'Britain's Worst Ever Prime Minister' in a world where Liz Truss & Boris Johnson exist must have been kicked in the head by a horse

It takes a special kind of anti-science to argue against the Gardasil vaccine. I have zero allegiance to the manufacturer—but the evidence is clear: it prevents HPV infection and reduces cancer risk at the population level. That’s not marketing. That’s data. Opposing it isn’t some edgy contrarian stance—it’s advocating against a proven cancer prevention tool. I genuinely struggle to understand the anti position. At some point, you have to ask: what outcome are you actually rooting for?

A generation growing up with the HPV vaccine may never face cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers the way previous generations did. An astonishing medical feat - and a reminder of what science makes possible.

On 23 June 2026, Britain marks ten years since the Brexit referendum. We were promised £350 million a week for the NHS. We were promised the easiest trade deals in history. We were promised sunlit uplands. Research now shows the economy is 6-8% smaller, business investment fell 18% and 63% of us would vote to rejoin. And you want to vote the man that hurt so many of our pockets and got us here? Vote tactically on the 7th of May. Stop Refrom. We deserve better. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☕️🫖 thedailybritain.co.uk/ten-years-brex…

It's been said before, but bears repeating. If you're a UK citizen and live in Dubai/Spain/ anywhere not the UK, then you're not an "expat". You're an immigrant. Fucking double standard Daily Mail cunts.

My mum went to the doctor today in Australia and while there received a thorough check-up, a Pap smear, a referral for a mammogram, another for a bone density scan and another for a skin cancer check, a complete set of blood tests, a prescription for a minor ailment, a booking for a flu shot and another for a shingles shot. And the whole shebang cost her a grand total of about $20, which was to fill the prescription. Everything else was free. Stay mad, American losers. #ShitholeCountry

An angry, middle-aged white man proved Gary Neville’s point by abusing him in front of his wife.

If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices. But it didn't. Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.
