I don't want to live in interesting times anymore.
My octogenarian mother's use of emojis very often confuses me and sometimes unsettles me, but I am very proud that she's giving it a go.

Are you suffering from a problem with your housing?

Well, now you can solve the problem with the patented Private Eye method of dealing with the housing crisis…

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

If you want Ofcom to investigate GB News for Impartiality breaches (or indeed any other channel) you just need to contact Ofcom. You don't need to start/sign a petition. Honestly.

Is Trump still suing the BBC (and stealing the British public's licence fee money) $1bn?

Córdoba is extremely beautiful. I would recommend it to a friend.

A current shortage of ethnically matched donors means Black Londoners affected by sickle cell disease are having to go without blood transfusions.

Could you donate blood this month?

Isn't it weird how Farage behaves like a school boy bully towards journalists questioning him about being a bully when he was a school boy?

I wish the talented Caroline Aherne was still here so Mrs Merton could do to Farage what she did to Bernard Manning.

There used to be a web page on UK Parliament's website about political satire and how it could be used to criticise politicians in an entertaining way. It's gone now.
Do you reckon it was Johnson or Truss or Sunak that had it taken down?

I do wish people wouldn't refer to Christmas as the 'C' word. It makes me very confused.

It's ironic that orange is the colour I associate with Trump and he hates women.

I posted my list of wealth taxes yesterday and via a follower it was read out by James O’Brien. These are already very effective. But they’ve had little publicity. It’s so annoying.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones.

The judge gave strongest possible quotes about the gravity of the crime and the damage done to public trust.

I wonder if their inaction causes any of them nightmares. I wonder if the thought of 23,000 people dying touches them at all.

Trump is conspiring with Putin to sell out Ukraine – and the security of the whole of Europe along with it.

The Prime Minister must convene the Coalition of the Willing to stop this betrayal in its tracks.
New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.
-Ukraine army cut 1/2
-Give up certain weapons
-Give up Donbas
-Zelensky displeased
