Dublin Spire must die

Andrew Parsons should be forced to resign for this morally obtuse statement. He should probably be investigated for corrupt links to the russian state. The russian team he allowed to compete includes a frigging shooter and someone who served in the division that occupied Kyiv region (i.e. Bucha)!

quite apart from Kemi Badenoch's dismal performance on BBC Breakfast, minimising the work of the RAF, she spoke of Labour 'not being built' for conflict because they came into power to do things like 'breakfast clubs' in such a disparaging way, like feeding kids is a joke ambition

Students of ruthless internal restructurings will recognize this as the euphemistic 'special projects' role for the one that lost out.

Today in "Boy, am I relieved I came to this conclusion in the piece I filed less than 12 hours ago":

I am perfectly content to admit I am sceptical of the position that Iran flinging shaheds at countries that literally are not the two countries that attacked it is part of a legitimate act of self-defence.

Logistics is woke. Supply is woke. End-state planning is woke. Force protection? Believe it or not, woke

"Tory Leader calls Labour MPs 'orcs and goons' at PMQS" is now a phrase you have to be very careful how you punctuate.

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Feel a bit sorry for the OBR folk who spent months working on a set of forecasts only to see the Middle East go up in flames this week.

friend sent this over from the other place and unfortunately I did laugh

The govt could look at these numbers and, in essance,declare victory. Really focus on stopping boats/dealing with the asylum backlog/ending hotels.

Instead we're embarking on a policy that hurts us economically, splits our base and distracts from core goals. For, seemingly, I'm tough vibes.

Yeah, but are they Protestant Muslims or Catholic Muslims?

I would give my life for Pombon

someone made this argument? with a straight face?

Evans apologized and said it was the kind of “genuine mistake that we can all make from time to time.”

Reform said it investigated, “considers it an honest mistake and will not be taking any action,” having accepted his version of events.

Just saw a delivery rider on a bike with an LED screen on his backpack showing ads. Feels like something you'd reject from a tech dystopia film for being too much.

This is the single best piece of news Keir Starmer has had since July 2024.

This is how I discovered Polanski’s position on ‘natural birth’ and god, fuck this so so much

there's a nugget here which helps to explain Brown's character and why he was so incensed by the allegations against Mandelson from their time in office

"The only way we can defeat ethno-nationalism is by deporting all the black and brown people" suffers from one small logical flaw...

Think if you give a Liz Truss venture half a million, it's not even a case that you need to be taxed more, but you should be made a ward of the state and your assets seized for your own safety.

Andrew 'must do the decent thing' and remove himself from the line of succession, demand MPs and majority of public after his arrest

An amusing headline/poll when you remember the most straightforward way for him to do so is "become a Roman Catholic"

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

One of those huge news stories that's kind of immune from analysis. We all know he's a wrong'un; we don't know the details of the charges; it's not the end of the monarchy. So lots of verbiage about how seismic it all is I guess?

Peace for Animals (Dutch: Vrede voor Dieren, VvD) is a political party in the Netherlands. Founded on 24 July 2025, it split from the Party for the Animals over dissatisfaction with the party stance on military expenditure.
