"Labour is bad, the Conservatives are good, and we’re not sure about Reform. Crime is terrifying, but we want every gruesome detail about it. Hot tubs are a menace. And, wherever possible, we want a nice photo of a lady in a dress, please. That’s just the Daily Mail way."
Spending a week inside the mind of the Daily Mail
I read the paper every day for seven days straight. It is a lurid stew of gruesome crime reporting, anti-Labour rants and stories about hot tubs

We’ve got a guy in the White House doubling down on stupid. He calls climate change a “hoax” and a “con job.” That’s the real crisis in this country at the moment.
It's 2026 and the US President is bragging about an almost certainly inaginary deal to buy potash from a Russian vassal state because Canada refuses to become a US one.
Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone can see what's happening. Rich, privately, educated entitled tossers who could not be more part of The Establishment do not think they ought to have to play by the rules.
The powers-to-be are tinkering with minor reform of the UK House of Lords. That won't do. I urged the Govt to replace the House with an elected second chamber, subject to constitutional safeguards. Watch the video.
Thanks so much everyone for a massive response. I've now had as many emails as I can cope with, so no more please - thank you. They paint a really grim and heatbreaking picture. The neglect and abuse of patients goes on and on. I hope to try to do the issue justice. #ME/CFS

Jersey, a UK Crown Dependency, leads the race-to-the-bottom for shady dealings. A fiddle-factory named in the Panama/Paradise papers, global scams. Refuses to publicly reveal who ultimately owns companies. Senator Stuart Syvret exposed abuse of children in care, had to flee for his life.

While global billionaires and multinational companies have been lured to its shores, many islanders feel left behind and priced out, with food bank use increasing
