Sshhh Otto! I am sensing an opportunity to rid us of a cohort of destructive freeloaders.

I'm biased because I've been a member for 5 years but it is so refreshing to hear someone say that immigrants are not the problem, benefits recipients are not the problem. The problem is growing inequality with the majority of wealth being held by a tiny minority.

Reform are the true enemy.

The country will survive a Labour government. I would not wish to live in a country where Reform were in power. I would advise my sons to emigrate.

Labour's failure to stand up to Reform will haunt them

Probably figured that a broken hip would be worth the distraction.

No sanctions on IDF for breaking the ceasefire.

Is Trump going to bomb Qatar?

He has also said that he believes we should be in a European based alliance. I would be dead set against leaving NATO if the senior partner wasn't unreliable, inconsistent and often working against European interests.

Trying to remember the last time this man put out a headline that didn't sound like satire

Yeah but we're making immigrants take A levels Lewis. One thing at a time mate

Why have the BBC given the uninformed ravings of this clown top billing in sports news? He lived in the northeast but obsesses about crime in London and then admits he is too thick to understand any of it.

You know what? Let's hope Wales votes Reform into power and we can let the public see what happens when you put this shitshow in charge.
If Wales want to elect a party that we're prepared to put a Russian agent in charge that's up to them.

Yeah vote for a party that were going to put a Russian agent in charge of your country. Nice one Wales

Yeah but where would the performative cruelty be in fixing the education system? How can they claim to be nastier to foreigners than Reform if they just go around doing stuff that's practical and helpful?

The guy jailed for threats against Farage has been described on one BBC report as a 'small boats refugee'. Not sure that how he arrived here has any relevance but the media just crank up the temperature.

A lot of Johnson supporters float the excuse of "Well he did have Covid to contend with" when in truth Covid largely gave them immunity from failure on so many levels, but mainly for Brexit.

Trump’s Gaza Triumph

The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1660 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The front cover headline reads “Trump’s Gaza Triumph” and features a photo of Donald Trump with multiple speech bubbles saying “You’ve got to hand it to me,” “What, all of it?”, “The only people making a bomb from now on will be my family,” “Anyone want a peace of the action?”, “In God we Trump!” and “Halo to the Chief!” A banner at the bottom reads “Late news: World apologises ‘He’s not a naughty boy, he’s the Messiah.’”

Liz Truss has polled better than expected.

Could somebody explain to Wes Streeting that the only person previously preventing him from talking about Brexit was...

(Drum roll)

Wes Streeting

Or primary school level in many cases.

I look forward to reaping the benefits if I don't get deported for not having an English A level

Labour struggling to find a consistent line between

Reform are racists!

and

We hate foreigners too!
