Good work ⁦Chortle Comedy⁩

Yesterday when I was having a silly argument here about the merits of scrapping NI, I nearly suggested that the Tories would end up raising the state pension age to pay for it. I had no idea such senior Tories were actually proposing it.

Keir Starmer I am a 75 year old trans woman who transitioned in 1979. I have been placed in single sex women's wards during various health crises ever since - my rights were enshrined in law by a Labour government in 2010. You are proposing to strip me of those rights.

This is a beautiful tribute to such a lovely man. Andrew was so dedicated to his community and to public service. A valued colleague, full of wise advice. He will be much missed.

We live in a country where government reports can dismiss decades of research into child welfare as being “low quality” while basing government policy solely on anecdata

6 years since this Tory election leaflet, a design classic

If Kilroy Silk behaved like this in front of an audience and on camera, makes you wonder what kind of monstrous cunt he's like away from an audience and cameras.

Who is this journalist? Some great questioning here by him, especially the question on the missing Bond-villain Hamas lair under Al Shifa that Israel claimed was there, & produced 3D renderings of, but have never actually showed us in real life.

Bravo, for this interviewer 👏🏽👇🏽

Well how about this for grotesque tastelessness. Par for the course for the techbros, I guess.

Conservatives obsess over “the idle poor” yet celebrate the idle rich who live off unearned wealth.

Michael Caine finally thought he was safe, but now this!

It wasn’t remotely a “rhetorical question”. No sane human would say that.

And what’s sad about this is that if you’d just said “I was scrabbling and said something obviously stupid” you’d not only be telling the truth but you’d have come out of it less badly.

Great. Now I have Thames Television ident earworm
