Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

The NHS fucked up and has obstructed my trans healthcare for longer than Brazilian MP Erika Hilton has gender transitioned. She gets to live her life and even be an MP. I can't even step on NHS premises without being abused by staff let alone get any trans healthcare.

Yes indeed I'm rather tiring of the coverage... a convicted perjuror who brazenly lied his way through life and continued to attend the House of Lords even as this poor woman's life fell apart.

It's that time of year again when we need to remind National Trust members that Restore Trust is a dark-money funded right-wing astroturfing entryist outfit. Please vote, and vote for literally anyone else.

Support the National Trust by voting for Council members by 11:59pm on 30 October 2026. Quickvote is convenient if you're short of time or worried about inadvertently voting for Restore Trust's Bonigala, Cristea, Goldman, Mealing or Omrani. In our often bad times, the Trust's doing good things.

The GOP behaving like Rosie Duffield on X after her third glass.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · last wk.

GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

[No shade on Kate personally] Labour's unforgivable (and continuing) conduct over Gaza led to me leaving the party after decades. But if it were not for that, then the creeping capture of the party by the anti-trans hate lobby over the last few years would have made me leave anyway #Labour #Burnham

On Europe again the group agreed with the PM's central argument that Brexit hadn't worked and for most if we could go back in on 2016 terms they'd jump at it. The worries however were that we'd get a bad deal and that made more of the group nervous

Until the widespread delusion that it's remotely possible we might rejoin on 2016 terms — or any other version of cake — is expunged from political discourse in the UK, we will not be taken seriously as an accession country. #rejoin #Brexit
