One thing I don't get is why the Cancellation Tribunal room is so high up in the building...? Also the toilet complex doesn't provide options for all therapy animals eg skinks and flying foxes 😡

Like everyone whose been to Antifa's headquarters, I've enjoyed a water kefir or two in front of the Soros statue.

The Department for Woke is a bit of a maze, but I do like the shop with its designer anarchist patches and keffiyehs

Imagine him as your MP. The way things are going in this country, and based on their local polls, he may well become on ..

This is how Honest Bob's tilt towards Combat 18/National Front has done for his favourability cf. BadEnoch, Boriswave and Not-too-Cleverly...

Is being a young Tory, these days, possibly even worse than young Reform UK?

Arguable

The Tories' likely next leader is veering further to the right of Reform UK. Looks like Honest Bob Jenrick @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social is getting into proper NF stuff (apparently v different to what he was like a decade ago, before joining the Combat 18 guys or asking for Minnie to be painted over

Whatever you think about the Tories historically, these people had a place in our politics and this drift towards constant nonsense dog-whistling populism doesn't bode well.

Enjoyed this interview - always find Steve Coogan an engaging listen.

Would love to see the old Day Today gang reunited

Didn't realise Peter Baynham was writing for Sasha Baron Cohen now, bit disappointing given the punching down and selectivity there

Hegseth put the phone down, in a second of sobriety wondering if he had actually hallucinated the exchange, thereby not averting an event which altered the world's trajectory

The year is 2000

A 20 year-old Pete Hegseth is a second year student at Princeton, and has got completely bladdered at the Cap and Gown club for the 4th time in the week

His phone rings. It's the real estate mogul Donald Trump, telling him that he must handle a man by the name of Osama Bin Laden.

Bill Burr was the most surprising, and Jimmy Carr the least surprising

But the ultimate lesson is that everyone has a price, summed up neatly by their fellow participant Pete Davidson..

Has the participation of a comedian you like in the Riyadh comedy festival affected how you now regard them?

Half a million dollars (at least) swayed some, but not others
