Using a 'clever' algorithm to always place their logo in the bottom right corner of an image, instead of a human placing it, has inevitable consequence.

I have it now; hideous colour scheme and everything in caps except "Get in contact", email and URL.
THAT'S A VERY BRAVE HOUSE STYLE TO ADOPT. REMINISCENT ONLY OF TR**P'S POSTS ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA.

Ah, they haven't toned down the colours a bit on the Politics Live chyron I see; pass the paracetamol.
It's been reading "REFORM COUNCILS TO RAISE COUNCIL TAX?" for a while.
I'm not sure why it's in all caps. So Reform's old duffers can read it?

I'm often asked by friends and family why I avoid eating seafood.
This is why.

Every time one of them moans or lobbies, all bookies' taxes should go up by 10%.

Every country has launched a cyber attack on JLR I suppose? We shouldn't blame Russia?

You say NHS but I don't think you're meant to send it direct to Wes Streeting.

I can just imagine the reaction from some quarters if Von de Leyen was referred to as "the president".

Tharg of Antifa @tjrh.uk · 5h

Still not the UK's president so still inappropriate for UK news wonks to refer to her as "the president".

Forgive my cynicism but the middle east has been on fire for my entire life but for extremely brief pauses before it all kicks off again.
Enjoy the brief pause while it lasts because history tells us it won't.

I've had to switch off #bbcbreakfast and their live coverage of people on an airport's apron.
Oh, look, there's "the president" talking to his daughter.
Not for the first time, BBC News needs to be reminded that he is not president of the United Kingdom.

Nobody really believes that Nathan Gill is the only traitor in Putin's Reform party, do they?
It seems highly unlikely doesn't it?
After all, Nigel Fascist was a presenter on RT, which is funded by the FSB and was banned by Ofcom.
If they ever have a manifesto, it should be in Russian.

Letter sent to Nigel Farage by Patrick Sargent
Former Reform UK regional Chairman

He is surprised to find out that the limited company he joined:

• Has no democratic structure
• Is not a meritocracy
• Is a Farage vanity project
• Has no policies
• Is not a professional outfit

The conspiracies I belong to include the earth being an oblate spheroid, con-trails contain di-hydrogen oxide, the moon landings I saw live on TV were real, and ET never crash landed in Roswell.
I don't object to digital ID which works well in Estonia so why not here?
