No capes! Deepest Surrey.
Anyone who says 'Rachel from Accounts' can fuck the fuck off, and is a misogynistic, patronising twat.

Is there a human being on planet Earth interested in this Reeves 'lying' story? BBC obvs leading on this and the Your Party chaos. Does the BBC seriously think these are the two biggest news stories right now? Pathetic. #BBCReform #wato

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee.

Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.”

If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this.

How the right-wing newspapers still manage to dictate BBC coverage.

Almost all of the Beeb's big post-Budget interview with the Chancellor devoted to asking whether she is a liar.

Next to nothing on any of the big measures announced this week

Colour me astonished that £400k/pa BBC lifer Laura Kuenssberg feels more comfortable siding with the low-taxed wealthy and media barons rather than the 450k children Labour pledged to lift out of poverty this week. #bbclaurak

The art of political interviewing is about creating chemistry, like Walden and Frost. An air of respect alongside challenge which brings out the best in both. Kuenssberg has the charm of a sixth form Chinese burn, and so we get a joyless, empty shouting match. #bbclaurak

Hell's teeth, Piers Morgan and Badenoch on #bbclaurak. Excuse me while I pop outside and creosote my arse to a windmill.

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't.

'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't.

'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

It was a hospital appointment already booked by a GP before the asylum seeker in question was moved for some reason - by the Home Office - to a different hotel.

Wasn't it?

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

No mention of Reeves in the news headlines so obvs #r4today insists on rattling off Mail, Times, Sun, Telegraph blind hatred of her.

I, for one, am delighted she's pissed off all the right people.

Super piece.

Feels like Trump's support is unravelling because he's spent 10 months trashing everything and everyone, and not actually focusing on the main thing at all - governing.

Bring it on.
"In an environment in which all politics is national, loyalty to POTUS is more fragile. When he struggles, members of Congress are dragged down w/ him & they feel an urgent need to distinguish themselves. When they start to break with him, that only makes him look weaker" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Why MAGA is coming apart at the seams
Turns out they're not in it for Trump, they're in it for themselves.
