This is absolutely magnificent!

Listen to the rapturous applause as a student does the job our press and media won’t, and holds Reform UK’s Richard Tice to account over his lies RE his connection to ex-REFUK Wales leader Nathan Gill, recently jailed for 10+ yrs for taking Russian bribes as an MEP.

My Budget Day opinion:

Budget Day should be abolished. Performative nonsense that (by accident) leans into 'politics as entertainment'.

Measures should instead be announced when they are individually ready to be announced – at any time in the parliamentary calendar.

As its the budget and I'm already bored/depressed by it, I shall be swerving the news for 24 hours.

If you ever wonder why people say "slippery as an eel" I can confirm that one time we had to hold an eel for a vet to do a blood draw and that eel ended up on the floor 47 times out of 48 attempts

When can you declare an emergency over?

The 5p “emergency” petrol tax cut was introduced in March 2022, to offset a spike in prices

They are now about 30p down on that month, & about 50p down on the absolute peak

Sometimes wonder if what the UK needs is a thinktank that doesn't do any new research, it just repeats obviously true statements that people try to ignore because they're inconvenient.

International students cross-subsidise home students. Your pension is paid for out of general taxation.

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2

Its not a totally terrible list, as long as you assume it isn't actually in order of funniness.
The list itself is funnier than about a third of the movies included.
Making a list so bad people will actually share it is a high art, and including quite so many films that aren't actually comedies but just have 'some jokes in there somewhere' is a masterful contribution:
