No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

And quite right too.Who doesn’t like going from Abergwaun/Fishguard to Caergybi/Holyhead via Ludlow in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿?🥴

Remember next time you’re on a crowded,uncomfortable sluggish train or replacement bus service in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 somewhere: you’re helping to make Cambridge-Oxford rail travel a lot better🤔🚂

If this is real, I was just metres from this legend on Sunday - never knew he was there. I can only love him even more, knowing he's a red.

A truly fabulous write-up that really captures the day; meeting up with friends and strangers alike to soak up everything that surrounded the match. A glorious day that will stay with me forever. Glad I can type, as I can hardly speak today!
Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over, Manchester. My thoughts on #LFC's title win, how the day was for me and how all of our days should be. The match was almost irrelevant on a day when the Reds turned on the style anyway. Read more: www.andcouldheplay.com/hand-it-over...

I enjoyed this idea that authoritarian states are more like the movie Brazil than the book 1984 - because authoritarianism breeds incompetence.

@markfallon.bsky.social how does this sit with US law, to subject detainees to public curiosity? Is it not illegal?

People having "fun" denouncing Witkoff for "not understanding the situation" miss the point. He's not an analyst or a moderator. He doesn't care about the facts. He's a political hitman out to impose a particular deal, and he'll say what he needs to set up and justify it.
