For the private jet companies this is the gold mine: full both ways!

It’s not even subtle propaganda. It’s just [INSERT CLIP HERE] bullshit.

Wolves have taken more points (8) from their last 5 games than either Villa or Newcastle, in which time they have played 3 of the top 5! Relegated almost certainly, but going down with a bit of entertainment.

I'm not sure the Telegraph editors have workshopped this headline enough...

gotta question the people who placed their dot IN THE FUCKING OCEAN.

“Could” doing a lot of work here. I’d argue that a party that flirts with far-right voters recently won a massive majority with just 35% of the vote.

As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played

(Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)

If anyone had any doubts that Reform will use the Trump playbook, Goodwin’s comments should be a clarifying moment. He was never going to be gracious in defeat, but this is low.

While I appreciate the candour, one quibble. “Self entitled” shouldn’t be a criticism of royals, as THATS THE POINT. It’s the whole damn ethos of monarchy.

How about none? None is good

Cake, but NO card is the correct move here.

Democrats ask Mandelson to cooperate with Jeffrey Epstein probe Lord Mandelson has previously expressed his regret for his continued association with Jeffrey Epstein.

US lawmakers: Andrew! Mandelson! Get the fuck over here and tell us what you know about Epstein, pronto!
Also US lawmakers: Trump? Musk? Chomsky? Nah, you're good.

"proven track record of delivering phenomenal results"... is this LinkedIn for fascists?

The lack of self-awareness at the end when he says "that can't be right". So close.

Being able to recite anything for minutes shows impressive dedication. When it's a speech by an actual fascist, it's terrifying. When that person is the CEO of a company worming its way into the British state... I don't know where we go from here.

Mason: “some people will wildly agree, some people will wildly disagree with his [Ratcliffe’s] language and outlook”
An outlook based on total bullshit (12m).
This is not a serious journalist.

I think Forest are taking “Manager of the Month” too literally.

UK being ‘colonised by immigrants’, says Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe Britain’s seventh-richest man, who vocally backed Brexit then moved to tax-free Monaco, also hits out at people on benefits

This is disgusting language heaped upon falsehoods.

Quite. Harman's idea is that a female 1st Sec of State will "transform the political culture" like a magic bullet.
Well, depends on the person who gets job, and also, no, not if the boys club culture is deeply entrenched.

If the most important jobs (aside from actual PM) are held by women, but it's still a 'boys club', then I'm not sure one more figurehead woman will help 'turbocharge' protecting women, as Harman suggests. Much as that's needed.

Furious female Labour MPs urge Starmer to make a woman his de facto deputy Harriet Harman leads calls for an appointment that would ‘turbocharge’ a ‘complete culture change’ at No 10

This is so weird.
1) David Lammy is the actual Deputy PM
2) Lucy Powell is the actual Deputy Labour leader.
3) The 3 biggest cabinet jobs (Home Sec, Foreign Sec and Chancellor) are ALL women.
But we need a female 'de facto' deputy?

I don’t want to live on the fucking moon! It looks dry and dull and sad and there’s nowhere to swim. Invest in this planet instead.

I'm beginning to think it's CRUNCH time for Starmer.

Really worth a read.

The Myth of Morgan McSweeney – Byline Times Digital / Print Edition The established press’ focus on supposedly ‘all powerful’ individual advisors often obscures the more important structural issues that come to define politics, writes Adam Bienkov

Pep Guardiola: Man City boss asks 'why should I not express how I feel?' Pep Guardiola defended his stance of speaking up about global conflicts by asking,

A follow up on Pep speaking out on global issues and still the BBC fails to mention he is paid £20mn per year by someone credibly accused of supporting a genocide in Sudan. The hypocrisy is off the charts, and the BBC is complicit in helping Pep wash his conscience.

It’s like living inside a beautiful screensaver

Well that’s a profoundly depressing thought. “Real life could be like a computer thing”. Ugh.

While it's obviously "conscience" not "conscious", the second is objectively MUCH FUNNIER.

Like it’s the News at 10 or something. The idea that this is justification for the gov staying on X is batshit.

Come on. £40bn is ludicrous.
The Notre Dame restoration was less than 1bn. Most Olympics cost less. This is a glorified office and debating chamber. It’s not far off the entire defence budget.
