Why do rich people in Gotham City still go to fundraisers? They always end in chaos. I'd just send a cheque.

@muffmasterh @CrowtherSim You realise it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to do their shopping in the reduced section alone right?

Even if you take the limited timeframe out of the question, no supermarket is going to keep stocking products only for them to be sold at a loss.

I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is: I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilisation if we weren’t the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself. Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves.

Watching Matt Hancock try and act human is weirdly eerie. It’s like the beginning of a horror film.

I don’t think I’d be surprised if one day they just find him alone at the campfire smiling and laughing, surrounded by the eyeless corpses of the other campmates.

@tobytarrant do you get any royalties for appearing on these?

Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

@TonyParsonsUK When given the choice between an out of touch rich person who stands up for rich people, and an out of touch rich person who stands for working people, I’d choose the latter every time.

Liz Truss talking about autocratic regimes where “power is held by a few”.

Presumably that’s a joke, considering our current process in which the Conservatives keep choosing a bottom-of-the-barrel leader until they find one that isn’t awful.

[Sean Burns @SeanThomasBurns]

People actually saying that they should bring back Boris Johnson as the leader of the same party which decided that he was not fit to run the party.

How many of these same people have been screeching “YOU LOST GET OVER IT” for the last five years?

@NadineDorries @BorisJohnson Surely his mandate went out of the window when the party decided that he was no longer to fit to run the party.

"You boy, what Prime Minister is it?!"

[Sean Burns @SeanThomasBurns]

Turns out that ‘levelling up’ means that every single Conservative MP will get to have a go at being Prime Minister.

[Sean Burns @SeanThomasBurns]

Clearly the Conservatives are incapable of choosing who should run the country, so let’s have a General Election already.

@fourfoot But also he refers to it as his pussy like Mrs Slocombe from Are You Being Served?

[Sean Burns @SeanThomasBurns]

Now let’s have a General Election.

[Sean Burns @SeanThomasBurns]

This is painful to watch. Feels almost like it shouldn’t be televised. Just two people peddling different flavours of the same shit.

Truss veered into food waste then, thought she was going to start drawing from her angry cheese monologues again.

I bet Spoiled Ballot is watching this debate and rubbing his hands together in joyful anticipation.

@dannywallace That probably tests well with certain groups.
