Watching nearly every political party in the UK chase the same 20% of the worst people in the country, ignoring the other 80%, just to please the papers. Nothing will change in the UK until the papers are taken in hand. Not all the media, just the papers. The rest will flow from there.

Good news for the people who are now getting the payments, but what an absolute waste of time, not to mention worry on the part of the people who'd lost it. The outcome? Another U-turn which eats even further into the government's credibility www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

Could this be any more obviously politically motivated? And we allegedly have a human rights lawyer as a prime minister. Pathetic. #freeWilliamPlastow www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Greenpeace petition to stop supermarkets flooding us with throwaway plastic. Push supermarkets and the government to take bold action in global talks this August. Sick of all the plastic? Add your name: act.gp/42K7pZy

Been watching a lot of Stewart Lee videos lately, and in an interview with Alexei Sayle they mention the Dustin Hoffman film Lenny. Just watched it. America, man. That damn America.

Bloke in the pub just told me I have a beautiful denim suit. I suppose it could look like that, but I’m just doing my usual double denim.

Israeli forces have destroyed Gaza’s only specialised dialysis facility, Al Jazeera reports. The bombing and blockade have long left disabled people without life-sustaining medication and equipment whilst disabling tens of thousands more. Thinking of every disabled and chronically ill Palestinian.

If white people across the country started singing “Free Palestine” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” when a little drunk this summer at their white people bars in their little polos and $70 flip flops I think the worst “journalists” in the world would actually implode

Not sure why you need to chase Reform voters when there are millions of disaffected voters who would quite honestly make do with a Labour party that showed a bit of compassion and vision.

Do Reform voters know that Farage favours replacing the nhs with an American insurance system. The Americans pay twice as much per head for healthcare yet millions are not covered. The largest healthcare company queries 1/3 of claims. #reform #nhs #farage

It's true, electrocution will cure a migraine, and probably everything else at the same time. (Seriously how do people who write and edit these stories manage to hold down a job?)

Funniest detail to me re: Thom Yorke's weird relationship to Israel is that it's the first place Creep really took off so Israel kinda launched Radiohead's career. Israeli music fans could not get enough of a song that asks "what the hell am I doing here" and answers with "I don't belong here."
