British Antarctic Survey From the new Private Eye, out now.

We started The Trawl in our bedrooms… And now we beat Piers Morgan and Murdoch’s TalkTV in the News Podcast charts …makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

The search for Nigel Farage in Clacton enters its 32nd week.

In the current circumstances this is a gosh comment. Yes, the truth should be found but this POV is idiotic in the present context.

I am very excited to finally reveal the title of my autobiography.

Trump has just fired nearly 7,000 Internal Revenue Service staff, whose job is to crack down on tax evasion. Coincidentally, those most likely to benefit are billionaire tax cheats.

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Any comment on free speech from Vance?

Where’s Nigel?

The main point here is that the Mail's letters do not conform to pre-action protocols. Pure bullying-mode.

Number crunching: Fine handed to Barclays by FCA over ‘reckless’ fundraising in the 2008 financial crisis v bonus pool shared by Barclays’ bankers in 2024.

Strangely enough the Telegraph looks less ridiculous with Sunday Sport stories.

Left: Trump blames Ukraine for Russia invadeing Ukraine Right: Nigel Farage blames the European Union (which then included the UK) and NATO for Russia invading Ukraine Your reminder that the only one to blame for Russia invading Ukraine is Russia

You can put Telegraph in the same bracket as the Morning Star when it comes to prioritising the interests of foreign authoritarian regimes over British and European interests

No need for subtlety here.

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/eco...

Farage doesn’t believe in the NHS any more than the Tories do. Right now we can see what the NHS is capable of under Labour, 2 million extra appointments just months after taking charge. You can't trust Reform with your health.

"Approval for higher bills and loading more debt begs the question: who is Thames Water serving anymore?" Now there's a good question, a damned good question.

Former Tory chief whip Simon Hart's memoir looks set to put firecrackers under Westminster... 🧨🧨 A raft of eye-watering stories like this one - about a Conservative MP requiring his assistance at dawn in a Bayswater brothel - from extracts in Times today alone

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

Never.

Thames Water have had a £3bn loan approved. Their debts will now cost them £900m a year in interest, which is where one third of your water bill goes. Yet they managed to pay shareholders £158m in dividends last year. Someone ought to nationalise the greedy fuckers…

Jeremy Clarkson has controversially said he'd rather have Vladimir Putin as Prime Minister than Keir Starmer, an opinion he's free to have when there's no chance of him accidentally falling out of the 10th floor window of his barn

There’s always one gobshite in there. May as well ask Owen 'Jeremy won the argument' Jones to chip in. “If only we’d listened to Diane then the world wouldn’t be on this precipice”

"Who is more responsible for the current state of the military? The party that was in gov't for 14 years or the party that's been in gov't for six months?" Sad to see Conservatives slow & equivocal to support PM & using situation to attack him, given how he supported Johnson/Sunak on Ukraine. ~AA

“Britain, Europe and Ukraine must have a secure future, and democratic values must prevail” Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Imagine the shock for the Deputy leader of Reform UK when he finds out “the greatest act of self harm ever inflicted on a nation” was in fact Brexit youtu.be/mj4o3BRZl_Y?...

Reform UK finally proposed a policy - and it’s an economic disaster www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Kemi Badenoch says that Western civilisation will fall without the Conservative party Me: 😂

“It shows what you can do with a plan that you put into action…we said we would do this, I’m pleased we’ve done it, I acknowledge much more to do” Keir Starmer on meeting pledge of two million extra NHS appointments

Hannan used to cry crocodile tears about the Commonwealth and argue for free trade. Now he simps for the protectionist thug who demands to annex Canada.

So called ‘British patriots’ really are a confused bunch… Imagine siding with a Russian tyrant who invades sovereign countries and poisons British people on British soil Whatever next?

As always @maitlis.bsky.social neatly sums it up
