Oh look. Someone's complaining about how hot that kitchen has got

That's so sweet, Nigel. Now go sit in the hotel room chair and wait till he's done.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha responds to Orban:

As insipid as the Government's response to Trumps' comments have been, there should be nothing stopping them going in two-footed on this guy.

"....and then Trump Gaza City Hotel. Vladimir will come in for a share with and bankroll half the construction costs. Lukashenko and Viktor will handle Casino Security....."

I'd say if Trump shaves 20 minutes off, he has a decent Edinburgh Fringe show there.

Yvette Cooper should be calling in the US Ambassador and issuing a formal rebuke for this.
Trump: "The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of money with NATO and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours. Just saying."

Emergency Services being called to SW1 in response to reports of an irony-meter causing a massive explosion.
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, said:

"In America, everyone who plays by the rules should get a fair shot. By preserving these ideals, we'll maintain the goodness of America that has been the secret to our greatness".

Why was this fucking hypocrite invited to speak to the UK parliament? Why?
Left: Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, talking about liberty and freedom in the US in the UK parliament

Right: ICE agents attacking a dancing fox

Still no Celtic signings in the window! Has anyone thought of telling Brian Wilson that the SNP said buying players was a really bad idea?

Difficult to be sensible and pragmatic with an administration that sees the UK as little more than a glorified crew.
Beth Rigby, "How can the US remain our closest ally when it is bullying us like this?

Keir Starmer, "Our job is to find a way forward, consistent with our values and interests"

"I will engage with our European allies, with President Trump"

"We must find a pragmatic sensible way through this"

A very embarrassing day for the world

It’s like someone went onto ChatGPT and asked for an image of the Two Ronnies as one guy.

Reform must be concerned about being labelled a Mickey Mouse party, as they’ve brought Jenrick in to paint over it.

Has Beaton left to try and get to Tynecastle in time to bail Hearts out?
January 14, 2026 at 8:49 PM
I agree, Nadhim. A country that appears to reward behaviour like this is very sick indeed.

Such unbridled joy on Sportsound just now, I thought they were re-playing the Scotland Denmark game.

Waiting for the stampede from MAGA commentators asking about where this guy’s laptop is.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.

This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

“….The National will go to the Lakeville Road boys. The Capri to the Corleone Family. The Sevilla Biltmore, also, but Eddie Levine of Newport will bring in the Pennino Brothers -- Dino and Eddie - for a piece…”
Ted Cruz: "If the communist regime falls, you will see a lot of Cuban Americans with a lot resources eager to invest to go and turn that country around. I think it could be an island paradise."

All this tells me is that OFCOM have told Kendall they'll do the bare minimum.
NEW: Liz Kendall, the technology secretary, says Ofcom would have the "full backing" of government if it opted to block access to X in the UK (but it's a decision for Ofcom)
