You know what disappoints me way more than it should? When I buy a new pair of trainers and ZERO people ask me how fast I can run in them.

Make Facts Great Again

I had this thought round about the time of the Brexit referendum when Leave were spouting lies, and most Remain supporting commentators just pointed out they were lying. At what point does the need arise where you have to adopt their tactics to stay in the game?

Hey, America. Your boy just made you all look like Putin’s bitch.

Is it me, or is Kenny just having the time of his life nailing the coffin for Drake's career air tight? I mean, the guy wore double denim, also known as a Canadian Tuxedo, to pick up his five Grammys for ONE SINGLE SONG! I'm petty, but this guy is on another level. Fair play, mate. Fair play

FYI @teamlabouruk.bsky.social. He’s honestly that thick, just throw the think skinned man baby a bone and he’ll back off.

If you want an audio version of what the Spectator put on their fro t page about Trump, Mandelson’s backtrack of his past comments is nothing short of delicious

Sharing some professional news with any planning, strategy or media types out there. Are there any out there? www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/pand...

When your six year old asks how clapping hand makes a sound, so you give a basic physics lesson on energy transfer, and she AND your four year old actually understandwhat your on about… …is a parenting win!

Take it from someone who lives in Southport, and is bringing up children in Southport. Kemi is chatting absolute bollocks. Her experience bears zero resemblance to the lived reality for the vast majority of my community. Fuck off politicising the murder and decimation of so many young lives.

Going to be glued to this today. Thoughts are going out to the families, friends and loved ones of Bebe, Alice, Elsie Dot; all the children at the dance class, Heidi, Leanne and John. The just wanted to dance! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

If no one else can see the chess board that is Brexit, it's becoming clear the people who campaigned for it (Farage) and supported it over seas (Trump) are now moving towards putting us over a barrel and accepting all kinds of nasty shit.

Sounds about right

Would anyone like to ask a Tory how they'd like to respond to this? I'm afraid I'll not be able to hear a word they say over incessant 'how do you dem apples' that might be coming from me www.investmentweek.co.uk/news/4396956....

You get the sense that Benny is being a bit of a shit head about the ceasefire. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

It’s a baby step, but a baby step in the right direction. More of this please!

I can post a little more freely on here than I can LinkedIn so here goes. Fuck me these stupid, middle aged white men are fucking clueless! WPP announcing they want EVERYONE back into the office 4 days per week is so incredibly narrow minded and short sighted.

Objectively, this is hilarious which ever way you look at it. See ya, Aaron. Next time, maybe… www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Quick, girl fight!

Day two. Kinel, got an achey brakey everywhere and I’m in for it again tonight. Leg day an all. That sounds like fun!

Day one of me being a Beach Body Bellend. I’ve not walked into a gym since my daughter was born 6 years ago. What’s changed?

Can someone take Greg’s phone off him? Please? For his own sake as well as ours

And yet, there will be an article that breaks about another wrong’un that has been welcomed into the party because they “don’t vet people properly”. And that’s Farage saying that about vetting. Not me.

I'll leave this hear for anyone who voted to make themselves poorer because they didn't like the odd Polish supermarket or blamed educated foreign nationals for taking 'their jobs' or thought that habitual liars with posh accents were someone 'on your side'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5pg...

Here's Badenoch owning herself and the Tory's on how disastrous their budgets were. Try and re-write history if you like but too many will trust their eyes and ears than what is shouted at the dispatch box.

Amazing news for Merseyside but a crap xmas gift for those in Luton. This story highlights a growing trend in both Governments and brands (I'm looking at you, Jaguar) of potentially falling foul of being ahead of consumer sentiment, instead of on it or even leading it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is somehow news? I’d argue these are essential reading for a Chancellor - might have helped the Tories if they’d have bothered looking up from their navels from time to time

Nar, you can have some fun with it. Honest.

Second only to saying 'I told you so', is replaying the hard right's greatest hits back at them. Petty, unconstructive... yes. But 8 years of being told that as a remain voter I had no say or stake in what post Brexit Britain looks like, that has directly affected me and my family, fuck 'em.

The Pro-Brexit / Hard Right lobby calling for a do-over of the General Election because they don't like the outcome, is both maddening and hilarious at the same time. You lost, you hypocritical cabal of neolithic baboons, get over it.
