If a monk falls in a river and hs buddies are there, do they laugh at him? Absolutely they do.
I absolutely love this that someone just posted on linkedin clearly created by AI without even rudimentary checking. Surrey appears to be trying to escape to France. Staffordshire and Oxfordshire have annexed Wales. And Labour are very strong in the county of "Monthiste". Which has never existed.
18% - but that had nothing to do with them delaying the announcement until after the by-election. newsthump.com/2026/08/18/r...
Reform: “18% of Clacton residents being on PIP irrelevant to timing of benefit announcement”
Reform’s announcement to remove PIP and completely restructure the benefit announcement came after the by-election and that’s a complete coincidence, according to reports today.

Out of interest - how many Clacton voters who voted coward establishment man Farage back in - are on PIP?

Reform UK drop these eye catching announcements on a Saturday night to catch the headlines in the Sunday papers. Then they set the weeks agenda with the official policy announcement at a press conference on Monday. It’s a big distraction technique that also seems to work with the BBC.
Front page news. I’m not one for conspiracies but it’s hard not to feel like the BBC has been captured by a far-right political ideology, certainly when it comes to people seeking asylum and exercising their human right to migrate.

Another superb thread by Emma. As ever, a clear and comprehensive demolition of a right wing scare story
Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

My friend and I came up with a cafe idea. Just tea or coffee. No fancy stuff. Shit biscuits only (rich tea, fruit shortcake, malted milk etc). And we would wear tabards. I think it’s a goer.

On 30th July 1969, Harry Catterick took the Toffees to his former club, Rochdale AFC, for a pre-season friendly. The Spotland denizens came out on top, 4-3, against a strong EFC side. Hurst, Brown and Husband scored for the visitors. www.efcstatto.com/fixtures-and...

What if someone told you there's MORE than one horse? Have you ever considered that?
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

Reform’s Sian Astley wants to be Mayor of Manchester, but doesn’t even know that the Mayor has no responsibility for pothole repairs. Probably because all she cares about is giving a plug to JCB, whose boss gave Reform £200,000.
Why is Kemi Badenoch never asked about the hefty funding the Conservative party has taken from the oil industry and its lobby groups whenever she talks about her decision to scrap her commitment to Net Zero?
