Cummings and Farage deserve each other. They’re both utterly ignorant, they’re both boring and predictable, and they both suffer the precise flaws of those they lambast inews.co.uk/opinion/cumm...

This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

Listening to Brexiters is to see a group of people who haven't changed as the world/country around them has.That's Starmer's gamble. Then as now, they continue not to reckon with a simple truth: we still need the EU more than they need us. New from me goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/brexiters-...

The Brexiters are the past now. They must be left there, for the good of the country inews.co.uk/opinion/cant...

We have to face it: the Brexit Parliamentary Universe simply isn't drawing the crowds any more. thecritic.co.uk/brex...

WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME & I ONLY GET KID ROCK??? WAAAAAHHH!!!!! 😩

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

It must be great being in Reform. Everyone's always talking about you and bending to your will on the level of vibes but you can come up with any old shit as a policy and get away with it. Schrödinger's Reform: simultaneously the next government and outsiders whose policies don't demand scrutiny

This is outstanding on the vapid scientifically illiterate dreams of the tech overlord class arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

(🎁) GIFT LINK to a stunning but also inarguable New York Times piece that says in no uncertain terms that America is no longer a democracy but an autocracy.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Oh great we’ve got ourselves a pound shop Trump…

“This is the nature of nationalist populism, whether it wears a red cap in Michigan or a turquoise rosette in Runcorn. It is expert at turning grievance, division and nostalgia into votes. But when it comes to governing, it will always fail.” Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The White House is trying out a new "influencer only" press briefing. I watched the first three and strongly hope, for the sake of the dignity of everyone involved, that there is not a fourth (gift link). www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Pentagon currently supporting Hegseth but you feel at any time they could do a 540 degree turn.

Our local chip shop has perfected #Easter. Truly, what a time to be alive.

Reads like a confession

Fantastic technology, glad society spent a trillion dollars on this instead of sidewalks.

Liz Truss here, showing the fine-tuned political acumen that guaranteed her such a successful career inews.co.uk/opinion/liz-...

Okay, here is why I HATE AI. I'm trying to research poems about going into space, or famous quotes about escaping gravity. As the FIRST RESULT, Google gives me this SHITTY poem IT'S WRITTEN ITSELF, like it's fucking Adrian Mole and I'm John Tydeman at the BBC. HATE HATE HATE.

Google maps needs a route option called "See the most cows"

The truth has become basic. Trump is a fool who is fucking everything up. There's no more to it than that. But there's only so many times you can write that column. So people are forced to construct 'well actually he has a point' arguments and 'hidden strategy' think pieces.

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

The stages in a Donald Trump deal: 1. Lie about something being a problem 2. Do something to "fix" it, which causes an actual problem 3. Say you won't reverse what you've done 4. Reverse what you've done 5. Say "Art of the deal"

It’s happening again

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

At last, someone who understands how tariffs are going to make America great again! xkcd.com/3073/

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Hahahahahahaha! “That sounds like the dialling codes for the countries”

Morons are running America.

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Trump is learning what Truss learned before him: that the market is the last bastion of commonly-accepted truth, which all sides accept as empirically real open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...
