It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

Just watch this…

And for the love of God, please see Farage for what he is.

His response to Sarah Everard Vs his response to Henry Nowak

Jaw dropping.

😭 Absolute classic sketch from Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse’s BAFTA-winning BBC series.

Harry and Paul do a brilliant parody of BBC Question Time: the clichéd audience questions, the sweaty nervous bloke in the jumper, the host’s withering put-downs, panelists waffling absolute nonsense… and all the timeless British political b*llocks in one perfect sketch. 😂

Still painfully accurate years later.

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

A Jeremy Vine on Five viewer praised Keir Starmer, even though she isn't a Labour voter.

Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.

Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.

We are building Great British Railways. 🇬🇧🚆

This is what elite, world-class investigative journalism looks like:

Carole Cadwalladr and her team at The Nerve have forensically stripped the mask off the British political establishment.

The pattern they found in The Harborne Receipts is nothing short of terrifying. Millions of pounds flow from a crypto-billionaire into the pockets of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, and like clockwork, weeks later, those exact politicians start pushing laws to benefit the crypto industry.

It is the exact same playbook Donald Trump used in America. It is cash-for-policy, clear as day.

While the billionaire-owned press tries to distract us with culture wars and theatre, true journalists follow the money.

This is the toxic soil that is destroying our democracy from within.

Absolute honour to see her back in action!

It takes a lot of confidence to choose honesty in that situation without panicking.

"Everything that Tony Blair says about AI is not true!"

The former PM has said everyone needs to embrace AI, but @_KarenHao says it's a political project trying to strip agency from everyone, everywhere.

'The carbon in the atmosphere just isn't listening to Tony Blair.'

Environmentalist Tom Burke doesn't think much of Tony Blair's comments on the UK's net zero policy: 'he's probably quite uninformed.'

Inflation “unexpectedly” fell by 0.5% to 2.8%

Growth was an “unexpected” 0.7% - the highest in the G7

Net immigration “unexpectedly” fell by 82%

NHS “unexpectedly” met it’s interim 18 week target

Our media have so deceived the public that all positive news is now “unexpected”
