As long ago as 2016 Andrew Neil was earning well over half a million a year as a political commentator. And he's just admitted the most basic "orange man bad" commentator on twitter has a better read on the US President....

Gloriously demented letter in today’s @scotnational.bsky.social

Some 19,000 Ukrainian children are recorded as being taken from their families by the Russians. Amid a plethora of daily war crimes, this is the one that got Putin personally indicted for war crimes by the ICC, as it could be pinned directly on him - his orders.

When Andrew Neil bangs his arm on something, it must take him four months to go 'ouch'.

I'm not sure who attached my words to a picture of Liam Gallagher, but they probably ought to know that he sends his kids to King Alfred School (£27,747) and Bedales. The pull-the-ladder-up c***.

After airing commentary describing part of the LGBTQIA+ community as "parasitic", GB News has published a video on its Youtube channel visually likening the leaders of Ukraine, Britain & the EU nations to parasitic "ticks". www.dangerousspeech.org/libraries/da....

Just scraping by like the rest of us who live on a 26-acre farm in Gloucestershire and have had to take on extra jobs (at Classic FM)

We, we??

Would love to see #Glastonbury artists doing collaborations decided by an FA Cup style draw - "number 18.......that's Rod Stewart, and he'll be duetting with.......85........Charli XCX"

If Chris Martin knows anything, the half-time entertainment for any World Cup final should be a blooper reel of players running into each other while Jimmy Greaves chuckles.

Given the speed at which Trump is intent on alienating his neighbours north and south, might the 2026 World Cup as planned actually be under threat?

Allison loves the taste of Russian shoe leather. Pass it on.

world historically funny how fast this turned from “ugly truck” to “nationwide object of derision and target of anger” and we are just getting started

GB News commentator falsely claims Ukraine war "was all down to NATO" - & wrongly implies there was previously a "signing" by NATO of an agreement not to admit new members "further east". Another suggests Zelensky "wanted more fighting". If you advertise on GB News this is what you're enabling.

Starmer, in reply to Farage in the Commons: "Can I just remind him that Russia is the aggressor. Zelensky is a war leader whose country has been invaded. And we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin."

FB reminds me of a 13 year old letter to the Daily Mail which rendered all subsequent letters to the Daily Mail redundant. This was the pinnacle.

"Siobhan leaves, Heidi joins. Still Sugababes. Mutya leaves, Amelle joins. Still Sugababes. Keisha leaves, Jade joins. Still Sugababes. And then, Siobhan, Mutya and Keisha get back together. Also Sugababes. So now, there are two Sugababes!"

Proper Prime Minister. Christ it’s been such an age since we had one. 👏

You stupid, opportunistic, traitorous bastards. You’ve all done such unforgivable harm to our country, risking our safety, prosperity and wellbeing in your nasty, populist cravings for power. You stink of him. Shame on you all forever.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Just blocked one of those "I remember the corned beef of my childhood" Facebook accounts so quickly I actually had to undo the block so I could go back and check that I hadn't misread the first line of this. Of course, pasta was invented by Brian Spaghetti in 1975.

This article could become 2025’s answer to “whisper it, Rishi Sunak is making a remarkable comeback.” Every day it looks sillier

I'm reminded of my favourite Daily Mash headline.

The US Embassy in Stockholm removes its ‘We stand with Ukraine’ banner after yesterday’s pre planned takedown of Zelenskyy by adjudicated rapist Donald Trump and his miniature jackal JD Vance Fuck them and everyone who had the soulless shithousery to vote for them #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Obviously NOW all the grifters in Britain suddenly saying it’s not funny anymore like it ever was.

Every single one of the Trump supporters sounds like a domestic abuser. "You should've let him hit you, you shouldn't have complained in public, you're never grateful, you never say thank you."

makes me quite happy to think that this loser earns more money and has more power than I will ever have but my day-to-day quality of life is absolutely, 100% better than his will ever be

Idea: a non-lunatic journalist doorsteps these fools & asks them how they feel now.

"Who blons a dumb de now?"

All the Deliveroo drivers in Darren Grimes' home.

I wonder if FIFA told the US it had to be a dictatorship with a poor human rights record before it was allowed to host the World Cup.

These are the people that would have abandoned Poland to Hitler.

Kemi Badenoch at PMQs: "I suggested to the prime minister that he cut the aid budget, and I'm pleased that he accepted my advice." The PM replies: "She didn't feature at all in my thinking...I didn't even see her proposal...I think she's appointed herself, the saviour of Western civilization..."

'Hello, police? No need to hurry, it was clean through the head.'

FUCK

Just had my shopping delivered by Tesco by a very cheerful woman. She is a medical secretary in an NHS hospital who does 6 shifts delivering groceries a week. I wish she was paid enough, and housing was cheap enough, that she did not have to work evenings. Our country could be better.

I've been screaming this for years.
