Moving from Starmer to Burnham is like changing the lead singer in a band. He sounds much stronger and writes better lyrics. But question marks surround the skill of the supporting musicians and keeping the old bassist with worrying tendencies.

"In return for the historic loan, the British Museum is sending prized items from its collection, including one of only four complete helmets." The complete helmet is pictured on the left. They can keep the austerity shitbag. #BayeuxTapestry
Just announced: Nigel Farage will perform a rendition of Candle in the Wind at Ann Widdecombe's funeral in the latest attempt to distract attention from questions about dodgy donations.
If I had a minor superpower, it would be to disable the loudspeaker on phones used on public transport. Awful, awful twats everywhere.

It doesn't matter if Musk becomes a quadrillionaire, it won't repair his gaping internal void. Plus everyone will still think he's a dick.
Musk won't be the world's first trillionaire. Everyone knows that Mr Burns already beat him to it.
Isabel Oakeshott has the vocal delivery of a wooden child actor with a minor role in a cancelled CBBC series that no one remembers.
A reminder that after the Brexit vote, Farage fled the scene of the crime, then grew a moustache to conceal his identity.
If you listen very carefully this morning, you will hear Wes Streeting shitting his pants. Rayner has obviously been saving this announcement for optimum impact.
If we get a Streeting vs Starmer leadership election, I would be tempted to rejoin the Labour Party, vote for Starmer. Then likely cancel my membership again.
Jess Phillips successfully managing to do some self-promo in her resignation letter. "PS. I wanted a bigger job."
Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.
Catherine West to launch her Labour leadership campaign today with the potential slogans: Go West West We Can West is Best Laser West Westington World of Adventure Return to Westeros
Wes Streeting is apparently preparing a challenge for the Labour leadership. All that stands in his way are his unpopularity and inherent unlikeability. Starmer might even stand a chance.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social If politics doesn't work out for Kemi Badenoch, she'd make a cracking gameshow host.
This lady scared this shit out me when I was four years old. Morgrim was also terrifying.

Turns out AI really stands for Annoying Interference. Stop putting it everywhere. Every day use cases are largely irritating and pointless.
If Kneecap are ever forced to change their name, they should be called Néecap.
Take That's profile pic on Spotify is hilarious. Gary has indigestion after a pub lunch half-way on a country walk. He doesn't know if he can continue. Gary: I knew that Ploughman's was a mistake. Mark: Take your time. Howard: Looks like it's going to rain, anyway. We can do the rest another day.
