Sad that Dame Jilly Cooper has died. She was - among her many achievements - a great @nujofficial.bsky.social member

Says the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, then killed thousands during Covid by being a dithering fool, then threw away his massive majority because he couldn't follow his own rules. Sit down and shut up you useless tit.

I will be joining the anti racism rally today at Belfast City Hall at 12.00 noon to stand in solidarity with our new and old neighbours and friends and communities. Stop the Violence, Stop the Hate. We are better than this.

Adolescence. Will these dangerous teenage boys all end up in cells?

The new Private Eye is out now

A photo of the front cover of issue 1646 of Private Eye magazine. The headline reads "ADOLESCENCE" in bold red text, followed by a subheading: "A SHOCKING STORY OF TOXIC MASCULINITY, BULLYING AND ONLINE BRAINWASHING THAT LEADS TO TRAGEDY." The cover features three images of Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Elon Musk, each wearing MAGA hats, with their names captioned below. The bottom text asks, "WILL THESE DANGEROUS TEENAGE BOYS ALL END UP IN CELLS?", drawing a comparison between political figures and wayward adolescents.

CV? It’s Clarrie, who worked there for years. What’s with this outbreak of HR ism and making Clarrie grovel? It’s horrible. She’s a kindly old woman: why not treat her that way? 😡 #TheArchers
