Is this about Reform UK or are there another bunch of mauve horrors?

Has Kemi Badenoch actually read Terry Pratchett?

She claims he’s her favourite author, but his books have a few lessons for her

A British newspaper (The Mirror) reacts to Trump’s speech.

This got a lot less confusing once I realised it was two separate products.

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Just had the craziest idea. Try this on for size: any country which wishes to reduce the quantity of compulsory daily mass-shootings could make private ownership of firearms illegal. The UK did it after that Michael Ryan dude. I bet it would work elsewhere, too.

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong.

Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that?

The interview is more incriminating, not less.

The worst invention in history is the mechanical metal plug with opening lever, as used in modern bathrooms. They always break, and even when they work they are less effective than a simple rubber plug on a chain.

Keir Starmer: you are actually the leader of the Labour Party, so stop letting your every utterance and decision to be influenced by what Reform voters think. I don't give a fuck what Reform voters think. Deliver Labour policies, you fanny.

Dystopian future writers, who predicted that one main use of AI would be making fatuous remarks under Facebook posts? None of you. For shame.
