It’s Saturday… So it must be… Boffin Day!

The Gargoyle on top of the detail again. 🤮

Mmmmmmwwwaaahh! Darling, please stop! ❤️❤️❤️

Our cover this week.

That’ll be the national with the steepest decline in circulation figures.

Which one’s the dog? Oh, they both are!

Yippee! Let’s all go out and by a Hummer. Hideous great bricks of a “car”. Think of the fun on the school run. They do <10 mpg too!

Oh dear. Out of her depth Kemikhasi still fighting the culture wars. She could start a brawl in an empty room.

‘Free Speech’ latest.

OPINION: ‘Plainly unraveling’: Report on chaos at Pentagon under Hegseth "Pete Hegseth is doing an even worse job in one of the most important positions in government than even I thought he would—and that is really saying something," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffiN...

Oh dear. The Orange Emperor’s plan for the Nobel Peace Prize seems to be going seriously awry.

Legislators continue to be entirely behind the curve on AI. Anthropic is predicted that AI-powered virtual employees will begin operating on corporate networks by next year with their own corporate accounts, passwords, and "memories".

Is the Orange Emperor’s attempt to sack Jerome Powell at the US Federal Reserve just a flag to his billionaire cronies to be ready to pile-in the moment the markets tank, with yet more quick fortunes to be made from the bounce?

Disturbed by the reports of Reeves in Washington desperate to sign a quick US - UK trade deal. Neediness + Undue Haste + America First = a likely stitch-up entirely in favour of Trump.

No surprise from the Orange Emperor who wants to annex Greenland, Canada, Panama, all the minerals in what’s left of Ukraine…

Keep up the pressure on the Swasticars.

Jerome Powell finds himself in exalted company. Lest we forget, the disgraceful Emperor of the Bone Spurs branded all the US soldiers killed in war as “losers”.

A developer using the popular AI-powered code editor Cursor switching between machines instantly logged them out but was told by "Sam" this was expected behavior under a new policy, but no such policy existed. Sam, a bot made the policy up, sparking a wave of complaints and cancellation threats.

Only the Daily Bile highlighting there is to be a “battle”.

So the Orange Emperor is aiming to do away with all “non-essential embassies”. Who will they not be essential to? If you were American, would you visit a country with no US Embassy? Perhaps that’s the idea. Keep those dollars at home.

“An MP (with an axe to grind) said…” Er, nope, this is an embarrassment for Mr Franklin.

Prominently facing the principal town centre square - urban forestry.

"I know Zelenskyy very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them....I will have the deal done in one day" July 6, 2023 www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

Ah yes, he’s decided on Windsor. Scene of that infamous guard of honour inspection where the Queen was obliged to peer round the narcissistic, puffed up Orange Emperor from behind. Fly him in, fly him out quick. 12 hours maximum.

Here we go. Prepare to check your “country of origin” labels, or will a deal require those to be omitted so we can’t tell?

The Gargoyle is wittering on once again about the benefits (to his rich pals) of a health insurance system to replace the NHS. Asked about solving the severe shortages of NHS staff and the woeful state of repairs to many NHS buildings and answers came there none. True Reformer.

The chance of the Gargoyle becoming PM in 2029 remains vanishingly small but he claims that his first act would be to withdraw from the ECR. These are the guarantees we would lose. * The right to life * Freedom from torture * Freedom from slavery * The right to liberty

Palantir (Wes Streeting's partner of choice for your private medical data) is helping Donald Trump draw up a list of targets for deportation. Are you still relaxed about it holding your medical data? www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

Is ‘anonymised’ too long or difficult a word for this shouty rag?

As the hateful Vance gloats that a US-UK trade deal will bleed us white; the vanishingly small “leading Brexiteers” should perhaps keep silent rather than bleating to the sympathetic Daily Telegraph.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

"Its first target was Columbia. When that school acceded to the administration’s demands, it didn’t get its funding back. Instead, Trump is considering demanding that Columbia agree to direct government oversight — effectively, a takeover of the university..." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

“I’ll end the war on day one”. Kremlin asset and cretin.

Postecoglou has found the suspect.

Purely coincidental you understand. Absolutely no collusion involved. Any suggestion of corruption would be quite outrageous. Venal? Of course not.

Pentagon fires Greenland base commander for refuting JD Vance’s remarks www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

Jeremy Clarkson becomes an Old Age Pensioner today. That might slow him down mentally a bit. Never mind, there is always the bus pass to apply for.

🔴 SCOOP: Nick Candy’s personal company was placed on the lucrative ‘VIP lane’ for Covid contracts Candy donated £340k to the Tories before resigning to join Reform UK as treasurer New by @jennacorderoy.bsky.social @russellscott1.bsky.social and me 🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/reform-uk-...

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs. "He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
