Cunk is brilliant because of the deadpan delivery of ridiculous lines. Diane Morgan happens to be nothern, her being northern is not a punchline.
If anything I would say the punchlines are more the academics and the way they respond to the silly questions.

People complaining that we're not offering up the great places to eat as a retort to this.
Perhaps try asking for a recommendation rather than telling us we're awful and expecting us to subject our favourite restaurants to your atrocious attitude.

Huge surprise to see that if Americans don't understand a thing, they assume the thing is the problem.

Would love to meet all these Muslim women in #GortonDentonByElection who were (for some reason) desperate to vote @reformparty_uk but their husbands forced them to vote @TheGreenParty
Wild that it's so comprehensive and systemic it would have changed a 4000 vote victory.
Imagine believing that George fucking Galloway is the reason your vote collapsed rather than it being you.
They're so hate-fuelled they simply cannot process @TheGreenParty politics is genuinely about hope and kindness. They see a foreign language as something to fear.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs to explain why Labour lost the Gorton and Denton by-election
Dear Colleagues,
The result in Gorton and Denton is deeply disappointing.
Instead of a Labour MP who can be a local champion delivering for Gorton and Denton alongside a Labour Government and a Labour mayor, the people of Gorton and Denton now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them. We have to learn lessons from that, and we will.
I know this is a tough result for our movement but I still want to thank you for everything you did to support our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia. She did a fantastic job and Gorton and Denton deserved to have her as their MP.
We’ve seen the true colours of Zack Polanski’s Greens in this campaign. The Greens were able to capitalise on an endorsement from George Galloway to win over enough voters to push them over the line. Their willingness to welcome Galloway's divisive, sectarian politics is a sign that the Greens are not the harmless environmentalists they pretend to be, and their position on legalising all drugs shows how unstable this electoral coalition is. It cannot survive a general election campaign.
It hurts, but this is the kind of result that we have often seen parties of government face. In by-elections people can make their voice heard without risking a change of government. I get it: people are rightly impatient to see the change they voted for.
It’s my job to make sure that happens. And I’m working day in, day out to see it through.
Over the coming months, people will feel the benefit of the long-term decisions this government is taking. Look at the good economic news we’ve had in the past week: inflation and borrowing coming down, retail sales and business confidence rising, energy bills falling. And look at the policies that are going to make a difference in people’s lives in the coming months: the landmark Employment Rights Act, money off energy bills, the cruel two-child limit scrapped, more free breakfast clubs opening, Pride in Place funding coming through, NHS waiting lists continuing to fall. It will show what we’ve been saying from the outset of this year: the country is turning a corner. These are all Labour policies, putting Labour values into action - policies no other party would or could deliver.
The Greens may have won here, but they simply do not have the resources, the activist base or the local knowledge to replicate this victory across the country. We’ve seen that before. We’ve seen it with the Lib Dems, who have often won mid-term by-elections against both the Conservatives and Labour, but never been able to come close to winning nationally. We’ve seen it with George Galloway, who won two mid-term by elections but held neither of those seats in a general election.
We will continue to warn of the risk the Greens pose: the risk of extreme policies like legalising all drugs and pulling out of NATO that most voters strongly reject, and the risk of splitting the progressive vote so that Reform come through the middle.
The next election is too important to let that happen. It’s a fight we can win, and we’re going to win it.
Best,
Keir
The foul blend of arrogance, stupidity, and derisory attitude towards Europeans acts to underline exactly why we should completely detach from that failed state and stand as a unified and independent Europe.
I am an enthusiastic supporter of providing the United States legal title to Greenland through a lawful and fair process.
@POTUS has rightly removed the option of taking Greenland by force. He has convinced me that title to Greenland would allow America to do so much more. Greenland is in our hemisphere after all. This is a historic moment. President Trump believes he needs title to advance the common defense by fortifying Greenland to protect the United States and NATO allies.
To my NATO friends: Don’t let this moment pass. This is a great deal for everyone. We’re on the verge of having President Trump fortify the arctic like no one could have ever imagined.
To my friends in Denmark: This is your moment to advance a stronger NATO.
To my European friends: You repeatedly tell me that President Trump makes you uncomfortable. So, I want be frank, out of respect for the relationship, you make me uncomfortable. Weak and humorless is no way to go through life. The European model of giving great speeches then sipping schnapps, all while failing to stand up to evil doesn’t work. Our European allies should take this moment in history to work with President Trump to legally and fairly provide the U.S. title to Greenland so that he can build up our arctic defenses in a way that benefits everyone. Don’t let your feelings about President Trump get in the way of good judgment.
President Trump is delivering on things that matter deeply to me: a prosperous and free world, and a safe and strong United States of America.
AI bros seem to miss why art is beautiful. It is a translation of emotion, the pinnacle of human expression.
Just like language; when you translate the true meaning can disappear.
AI artists are artists in the same way I am a polyglot because I have access to Google Translate.
There's a generation being raised to hate AI art because they've been falsely taught that picking up a pencil and drawing manually is somehow moral. This stems from a lifetime of political narratives and manipulation. They believe this approach holds more virtue than that of other artists who use multiple mediums and now use AI simply because it's a good time and fun.
"Show me the research" is the most surefire way to know someone:
a) Has no interest in the findings of the research,
b) will never change their opinions based upon the research,
c) would not be able to understand the research when shown.
Look how rattled Reform politicians get when you ask them to defend positions they know to be indefensible and unpopular. This won’t survive a general election campaign, better buckle up @ZiaYusufUK enjoy the lead in the polls while it lasts
What's particularly worrying about this AI trend is that its sole purpose is misinformation.
It doesn't matter whether it gets called out or noted to oblivion. It's out there and so long as 1% of people believe it, the job is done.
Every football fan should rally against this.

This is terrifying on a few levels. Firstly, sharing a video that is clearly AI and passing it off as real.
Secondly, when this is called out as AI, pivot to "it doesn't matter if it is AI the point is valid"
- make bs video
- called out as fake
- double down with "still valid"
🚨A BRITISH SOLDIER SPEAKS FOR MILLIONS
“I sacrificed my life to secure this country's freedom and its freedom of speech — and now you arrest people for words while turning a blind eye to crimes committed by invaders. You are a disgrace to your uniform and you are an insult to mine.”
A moment like this cuts through everything.
When a serving soldier—in full uniform—has to remind the police what this nation stands for, it proves just how far we’ve fallen.
Britain’s armed forces understand sacrifice, duty, and loyalty to the people.
They also see betrayal when it's unfolding right in front of them.
This is not about politics.
This is about truth, honour, and the survival of the nation our soldiers pledged their lives to defend.
History will look back on these days, and those who stayed silent will not be remembered kindly.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is generated by AI. The uniform displays an upside down UK flag, and there are 4 'Morley' name tapes on the soldier's uniform: 1 on the left and 3 on the right.
Unlike the US Armed Forces, the British Army does not typically even use name tapes on its MTP uniforms.

The cost of living plus wage stagnation has meant that being in the top 4% of earners has you statistically well off whilst not feeling it.
At this income you could buy a small terrace in south London with 30-40% of your income going to mortgage repayments.

When you look at what we could have had, you need to question whether Nolan was right for this. Why can't we have some vibrancy and flamboyance?
There are artisans making things that are more accurate and 100x more beautiful than this sea of brown.

Crazy how large volumes on the right, who have repeatedly called train drivers overpaid and stated that we need driverless trains to save money, are now championing a train driver because his image suits their politics.
