If the British Steel furnace in Scunthorpe ever does stop burning, they could always go to my Dad's bedroom at the care home - it's as hot as hell in there.

Trump's chief trade adviser just announced the latest "retaliatory tariff" on China...

Welcome to Gilead, endure your stay.

you can't spell "tariffs" without "FFS"

Before Mel B and Mel C, there was a Mel A in the Spice Girls, but she got fired for constantly starting brawls.

I thought he liked McDonalds?

the first rule of Non Sequitur Club is barnyard

Since taking over DOGE, Elon Musk has lost more of his own wealth than DOGE has managed to save from the budget.

Preach!

In light of recent developments in relationships between the two countries, Canada has appointed new ambassadors to the US...

If parents spent the same time and effort buying and getting their kids to read books as they do on World Book Day costumes, it would be a big step forward.

I was kind of hoping Starmer would give Zelenskyy a hug. Be really amazing if the King did too, but, protocol and all that.

Americans waking up this morning...

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Who’d have thought that the bloke who’s been almost single-handedly standing up to Putin for the last three years would have the courage to show Trump and Vance up for what they are? Slava Ukraini! Time to cut America loose. Time for the King to retract that invitation. Time for Starmer to speak up.

One is a TV star-turned-hero of the free world. One is a Putin-appeasing orange shitclown who should be in prison. #TeamZelensky

Remembering that bit in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the monkey "appeared to perform a gesture that resembled a Roman-style salute"...

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

Does anyone know what that shiny orange thing in the sky is? Should we be reporting this to anyone?

I’m old enough to remember * last month * when the White House would have sent condolences and condemned the continuing Russian aggression against Ukrainian civilians. Tsars and Stripes.

I’m not sure “you need to pay us half a trillion dollars to negotiate a surrender for you and then you must suck up to Agent Orange” is quite the irresistible proposition the US thinks it is.

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him. Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him. Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him. Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

The absolute state of these people. Zelenskyy has been single-handedly holding the line for the rest of the world for two years. He's now the only major world leader brave enough to stand up to Trump. It's time for the rest of the world to stand with him.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Exit, accompanied by a bear.

Four years apart, same vibe.

This would explain the time I was arrested by the counter-terrorism police when I was on the way out of Maccies with a strawberry milkshake in my hand.

[at dinner with Tony the Tiger] "Tony, can you say grace?" "Yes, but it takes me a bit longer than everyone else".

Groundhog emerges, sees newspaper, thinks “They put that maniac in charge again!” and decides Americans do not deserve spring this year, biggest shadow he’s ever seen, poor lad.

😂💔

My next-door neighbour has hit the “learning guitar and trying to sing” phase of his mid-life crisis. It’s early days, but I reckon he’s not going to make it. Best guess is that the motor bike will arrive by the end of the year.

Thank you for screaming into the void. Your scream is very important to us. Unfortunately we are experiencing an exceptionally high volume of screams right now. You may wish to scream into the void later.

Welcome to 4 more years of waking up every morning wondering what the mad bastard has done overnight to make life worse for the rest of us. See you on the other side.

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news. This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them. Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

It's that time of year when we have to ask the same, basic question. Does nobody eat the rest of the year?

And possibly of the millennium so far. A truly remarkable woman. Strength, dignity, courage. She deserves to change our world.

Even Russia is more generous to Syrian asylum seekers than the UK…

Massive away win for the little fella.

The way he says “handful” of accusers like it’s no big deal. If it’s more than zero, it’s a big deal.

This is fine. Nothing to see here.
