Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Dan has a strong point here. Already, rags like the Telegraph and the Express are swooning with delight every time the USA says something that knocks Starmer's approaches back. They will party like the world is ending if Trump sends him packing with a flea in his ear.

The Starmer aide/AI stuff feels a bit canary/coalmine because this isn't letting electoral factors triumph over good governance or sinply doing something I don't like - things every government does - this is falling for a scam. There are people in Nunber 10 who are just idiots.

This is what happens when our glorious leaders don’t understand the difference between technology and magic. Is there any way of getting through to them on this?!

I think Musk is asking everyone to name 5 things they did last week at work so he can find out what a day’s work actually looks like and he’s all 🤞 that ‘taking amphetamines and shouting online’ comes up loads.

I’m not normally one to share betting tips, but my two current frontrunners in the event of a Pope-off are: Cardinal Pizzaballa, who if he doesn’t pick Papa John as his papal name has frankly missed a trick. Cardinal Ambongo, who as he comes from the Congo, already has his own papal theme tune.

Ideas for the next Pope: 1) Change the Popemobile to the Batmobile. 2) Change the Pope’s title to ‘Batman’ 3) Change the Vatican to the Batican. 4) Make him fight crime, while dressed as a bat.

The banter response would be to reply and include a sentence saying that they need to justify your pay level and, if they do not respond with 24 hours, it will be taken as agreement to double your salary.

The weirdest paradox is that after you hit 35, you pretty much feel like you’re both 20 and 60 years old at the same time forever. Like it’s just a lifetime of thinking “but what do I REALLY wanna do with my life” while you fire up the blood pressure machine that lives on the kitchen counter now

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

Labour has a real counterattack opportunity if they’re brave enough to take it. More spending, both for public services + defence, using the need to prep the UK for war to justify breaking fiscal rules/tax pledges. Be unequivocal in calling those seeking to undermine the UK traitors and quislings.

The government of the USA is openly racketeering. And that is not even the worst thing about them. ‘Owning the libs’ is doing a heck of a lot of heavy lifting right now…

This goes for the right wing flag shaggers in the UK, and elsewhere too. Because it's a stalking horse. They don't actually love their country, they love money and hate paying taxes. They just dress it up in patriotism because of how pathetic and monstrous they'd sound without it.

Watching people who used to bleat about accusations of racism choose between being blatantly racist or clutching their pearls at all the blatant racism they enabled is not as much fun as you might think. (See also Donald Trump & fascism.)

At some point global leaders are going to have to start acknowledging that Trump's America can't be worked with. His Presidency has made neo-Nazis so emboldened that even Bardella is put off. That should be a sign to stop pretending it is business as usual. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

INT. WAFFEN SS HEADQUARTERS - CORRIDOR - DAY Two SS GUARDS stride towards one another from opposite ends of the corridor. GUARD ONE: Heil Hitler! GUARD TWO: Heil Hitler! They both give a provacative gesture that resembles the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally.
