On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Whether it’s her housing, clothes, the restaurants she goes to, or the fact she watches opera and drinks wine, she can apparently do nothing right, writes Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

Brexit hasn't been betrayed.
The British people have not been betrayed.
The betrayal was Brexit.
Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

A reminder that when the Sycamore Gap tree was cut down people immediately started blaming immigrants and teenagers...
It was neither. It was two white Englishmen in their 30s.

Kemi Badenoch keeps calling for inquiries into the rape gangs. I’m just very confused as to why she never thought to look into this important issue herself when she was Minister for Women. #PMQs

The Farage piece in the Sunday Tel is the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've read in months. This pearl, for example.
"Sadly, there have been too many similar outbursts from Mr Lowe, often involving the use of inappropriate language, to the despair of our chief whip, Lee Anderson."

What a time to be alive, our PM being criticised for not posting an immediate response to a critical situation on f*cking twitter. No matter he's been speaking to Zelensky and apparently Erdoğan, actually working, but this counts for nowt because he hasn't tweeted.

To answer the long-standing mystery, when an author says, “His eyes darkened,” it means his pupils dilated either from lust, fear, anger, or another strong emotion. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. #booksky

A Telegraph journalist does not accept that judges make decisions according to the law, rather than the imbecilic whims of uninformed newspaper proprietors.

Pretty much every other email I get from the Telegraph is about how to avoid tax more effectively.
We laud people like, say, Martin Lewis for helping us get what we are entitled to, but scorn the disabled and unwell for doing the same.

Rees-Mogg is a poseur. That's all aristocracy is. One long elaborate, sneering, suffocating pose. There's nothing superior about these people - they've just got lots of money, lots of unfunny in-jokes and more chips on their shoulders than workers at a Mcain's factory frozen potato spillage.

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

Jeremy Clarkson, who owes his fame & fortune in large part to the BBC, sneers at the brilliant @vicderbyshire.bsky.social for being ‘classic BBC’ when she uses *his own words* to describe his position.
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”
@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.
