FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"
Just did exactly the same again. 1:2 refresh 2:2, refresh 2:3β¦
I canβt keep up with this Everton game. Just refreshed the live feed twice in 10 seconds. Went from 0:1, to 1:1, to 1:2! Most unEverton like.
In honour of the Sunday Telegraph's editor and offical maddest columnist, we have created the Allister Heath headline generator...

Jeez, the state of that tea.
Heβs pinned to the wing, not coming inside at all.
Denmark's military says its arctic command forces evacuated a crew member of a U.S. submarine off the coast of Greenland for urgent medical treatment. n.pr/4rwqZny
Of course, the irony of Trumpβs post about us needing to send a βhospital boatβ to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.
We make fun of elon but this is a clean win for him. Even after rebranding twitter as a goebbels computer with A.I. revenge porn journalists stayed on it frying their brains for retweets from jd vance and faulty sean spicer clones. Now theyβre writing βDoes AOCβs Brain Smell Different?β
Ed Sheeran and Jacob Collier are laughing while sitting in a car, with musician Nitin Sawhney playing a guitar between them. All three are looking towards the camera and smiling broadly.
Iβll save you five minutes of your time today so you donβt have to read the news about yet another round of βnegotiationsβ in Geneva:
Heβs right. The media are just an attention industry for the instant gratification generation; exponential polarization & drama for clicks. The quality of elected leaders is so poor, they spin like kites overwhelmed, trying to keep the fickle prevailing wind of perceived opinion at their backs.
They looked for βDon Tβ in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of βdonβtβ
You absolutely do!
Itβs mental, I clocked half that on a straight run speed trap a couple years ago; terrifying skis rattling and all over the place.
What could possibly go wrong

History will record this period as the βGolden Age of the Arsehole.β
I've updated my post on the funding crisis heading for British astronomy: docs.google.com/document/d/1.... UKRI made clear that astro and particle physics are being subject to unique cuts due to rising costs elsewhere. This looks like a deliberate decision not to fund fundamental physics. π π§ͺ
No water, no heating, no power, -15 degree weather outside.
It is not on the front pages of your newspapers, but Ukraine is living through a humanitarian disaster right now because of Russian bombardment and the world has barely noticed.
You see ICU Nurse Alex Pretti assisting veterans learning to walk again. Donald Trump sees a domestic terrorist and suckers and losers.
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right β you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity⦠and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think weβd be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent Β£700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform
Trump refused to go to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France because it was raining.
457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Trump avoided military service 5 times.
How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.
457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.
