The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

I hate that. I usually really like Senegal but that was atrocious. I honestly can’t think of much I’ve ever seen on a football pitch that was worse than that. It’s just given every team at every level of the game the ability to walk off when they like with impunity - and then still come back and win

What would be the thing YOU revealed about yourself halfway through The Traitors in an attempt to make yourself look cleverer than you are?
I think mine would be, "I've kept this to myself, but I'm actually an author of popular non-fiction. So I know a thing or two about... the truth."

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

Every local authority has been cut to the bone for years – this is common knowledge - but Grimey and his Reform chums swore blind that £millions were being wasted through incompetence and laziness. DOGE found fuck all - welcome to reality, dickhead.

I appreciate it's cliche and pointless to note this, but I don't think that six months into her term a hypothetical President Kamala Harris would be suing MSNBC, Bill Gates and The Guardian for reporting on her close personal friendship with a paedophile.
