Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Dear diary first day working for FIFA went really well…..
Reform UK already have a comprehensive plan for social care: me and my rich mates will be just fine thanks and the rest of you can go fuck yourselves.

The stranglehold the rightwing and far right have on our politics is absurd. Not a single policy or idea that benefits the country. A wild aversion to tax, immigration, NetZero, the EU.. trapping us in a dismal dead-end, unable to make progress for fear of the DailyMail demographic losing its shit.
It didn't "go rogue". It did what it was instructed to do. In a sophisticated way but nonetheless we have to stop assigning human agency to AI systems. Everything that happened here was as a result of human designed and instructed systems.

Ignoring the fact that Miliband was leader and of the opposition at the time, and refused to support military action without a clear plan - after a decade in Afghanistan and Iraq. This was Cameron’s failure as PM. Not Miliband’s as Leader of the Opposition.
Instead of advertising for Supermarkets why not run a story about the provision that councils have for those eligible for free school meals during the holidays? Link below should anyone need more info Holiday activities and food – Bolton Council share.google/Lgb1AwHDRZFK...

good article and, crucially, a good list at the end of cookware/kitchenware lines that are still quality (and family owned)
If you have *real* evidence of election fraud, you file a lawsuit. But if you are a pathetic sore loser who wants desperately to believe any fiction that excuses your actual loss, you go on TV where, unlike in court, you won’t be held accountable for your brazen and ridiculous lies.
Spider Man Rides The Tube Not every superhero swings through the city, some catch the tube instead. It took a few attempts to nail the timing, but I finally made the SpiderMan poster look like Spidey is hitching a ride on a passing train. Captured at Oxford Circus station.

Well one of my pics for the final has made it.... Get in Spain! Unfortunately my other pic is Argentina! Sorry England but there is £34 riding on this 😀
There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.
There has been a 'ceasefire' in Gaza for 274 days. In that time 1,098 Palestinians have been murdered and 3,500 injured. While 0 Israelis have been killed. There is no ceasefire, just a Genocide.

NEW - Andy Burnham has written a long letter to all Labour MPs tonight - promising a major overhaul of whipping and engagement on legislation, as well as a “broad church” cabinet where ministers routinely engage MPs & select committees. Comes as nominations open for leadership. Letter here 👇
Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.
Nigel Farage keeps saying his expenses are zero. Yet another lie.
I am confused. I thought when Josh Simons quit as an MP to call an unnecessary by-election it was a huge waste of taxpayer funds and an insult to voters?
BREAKING NEWS: Nigel Farage has thought long and hard and decided to put himself at the centre of a fresh media circus. Extraordinary. So out of character.
It’s really mental how every football commentator seems to have never seen Haaland play football before. Lads, he largely does fuck all, then scores quite a few goals. There is quite a large body of evidence to back this up. No need to sound surprised that he’s barely touched the ball.
What if... we made things less crap? No war, no billionaires, an end to poverty, gender equality, equal access to health & education, and a liveable planet. Um, yes?? A new report shows us how this seemingly lofty goal can be achieved... and all it takes is to tax the rich. youtu.be/5tsqotjWSy8
