Anas Sarwar didn't manage to secure the support of Ian Murray. Ian Murray, a man sacked by Starmer *on the advice of Mandelson* and who lives for plotting and briefing. Cooked.

What's that you say, Anas? That you tweeted this last year in 2025 about your 'old friend' Peter Mandelson and now you think Starmer should resign but you should keep your job?

If you see this being posted, be aware it's bullshit. Matt Goodwin is a lying snake, sure, but in this instance the picture with him is real and the other is a clumsy fake.

If you see an account like this post it and then refuse to delete when the fake is pointed out, that's a worthless account.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.

Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.

Go out to fight
But not with all of your might
That's a foray

When it's more of a raid
And you briefly invade

Was on a Ramblers walk through Crook of Devon today, which meant I could do The Joke: "twinned with the Thief of Baghdad"

It's the way I tell them.

Also saw the cool bridge at Rumbling Bridge, just ridiculously far above the water in the deep narrow gorge

The dirty secret of curling that no one involved in the sport will admit is that the broom doesn’t do anything

It would be against the Hunting With Dogs (Scotland) Act 2023. I'm not sure what the legal situation is in England, but up here at least you could only use a maximum of two dogs to flush him, and not to follow his trail through the woods.

You'd need to use good old fashioned bushcraft to hunt him.
Just in case you thought anyone was going to see repercussions for raping and torturing children and young women

Sources tell us that when Sir Kier Starmer was first informed that Peter Mandelson was lying he said "I am quite certain he was standing up", because he is almost as stupid as Ash Regan (but in a way that is good and noble, obviously)

I feel like I have duffle coat vibes, but also I cannot trust a jacket that is not waterproof
I went for a haircut. Afterwards the barber fetched my duffle coat from the coat rack: a huge old heavy one I'd purchased, inexpensively, via a charity shop, and which friends and family had been fervently encouraging me to discard for several years. "Here is your carpet, sir!" announced the barber.

I've seen Mr Nipples and I did not enjoy it, but in the spirit of a problem shared is a problem maybe he'll haunt your dreams instead of mine the terrifying crocheted bastard, I think it's only reasonable that you see him too
I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane
