Iβm guessing Mel Gibson is fine with it
Feel a bit queasy about opening up Claude after this
Somehow this is already being shrugged off while the BBC has a nice little feature about Trump meeting Inter Miamiβs players
A sickening society is clear in these statistics
So why is it not in the news?
Powerful wake-up call from @chakrabortty.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
It really shouldnβt be hard to beat Reform. Beyond migration policy all they have is a load of neo-Thatcherite claptrap that everybody hates
Noemβs Hobbesian vision of the world gets confirmed again lol
These people are so awful but at least itβs funny watching them try to screw each other over

Itβs uncanny how it neatly allows Reform to divert attention away from their humiliating defeat
I had a quick lot at their webpage and it did look like a right wing think tank webpage would look
I suspect all that will remain is the stain
No, only to Dubai
Against the overwhelming forces of family voting
Good job heβs surrounded by sensible sane people
Why does Bessent always look like heβs just peed himself
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
It does seem like a lot of people overlearned the lessons of the Brexit campaign, and behave as if the entire country hates foreigners
Hadnβt seen those trends before - it looks like their genius strategy had the net effect of losing votes to Reform?
Good point
