Bizarrely, the story about @michaelgove’s former girlfriend charged with possessing child pornography, is no longer on the Daily Mail website.

What sort of misguided muppets threaten @RNLI teams out preventing tragedy at sea? They dont check immigration status, use a colour chart to decide on who they help. They are VOLUNTEERS selflessly saving and preventing the loss of life at sea. Just upped my donations.

Today, I asked the government to take action to stop the growth of the far-right. This seemed to upset the Reform MPs in front of me.

Our charity exists to save lives at sea. Our mission is to save every one. Our lifesavers are compelled to help those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water. They have done so since the RNLI was founded in 1824 and this will always be our ethos.

To be honest, if a brief phone alert sends you into spasms of fury, I wouldn’t really trust you not to light a BBQ or firework during a record breaking drought.

What about if the emergency services are at breaking point because of unprecedented wildfires and deliberate arson, and no longer have the manpower to attend events that you might deem as “genuine” emergencies? Does that count!?

You think a privately educated, millionaire nepo banker baby, with billionaire donors isn't the establishment? No wonder you vote Reform, you're thick as fuck.

The British government learnt of the data leak in August 2023. 24k Afghans secretly granted asylum, costing British taxpayers up to £7 billion. The government covered it up. Who was in government? Home Secretary: Suella Braverman Immigration Minister: Robert Jenrick

Rod Liddle wasn't perfect. Yes, he allegedly punched his pregnant girlfriend, wrote racist things on a Millwall message board, peddled Islamophobic bollocks and said that prosecuting nonces had the "whiff of Salem" about. But he also... I'm sorry, I've lost my train of thought.

How would a bowel screening kit not be safe or effective? What do you think it’s going to do Susan? Climb up your arsehole and steal your organs??

‘Safe and effective’ I’m sure 😉 Some people never learn, you are one of them 😂

Lord’s, August 1973. A 37 year old Garry Sobers was playing his last series in England. He was batting on 31 not out at the end of the first day’s play and decided to go out with Clive Lloyd. After meeting friends they went to a nightclub and drank and danced till five. Sobers then decided it was no point going to sleep and went out for a few more drinks and then showered just before going in to bat. He took a break when batting to go to the toilet, had a couple more drinks in there and then went back in to smash an unbeaten 150. RIP Sir Garfield Sobers, the man who could outdrink Botham and Boon and outplay every cricketer on the planet.

“Police murder investigations are not known for their successes”. In the year ending March 2025, of the 524 UK homicides, 527 suspects were charged by the police. What. The. Fuck. Are. You. Talking. About. You. Imbecile.

Meet Donald Cunningham from the Raise the Colours movement in Shrewsbury. In 2015, he was given a restraining order after throwing a pizza tray at his ex-partner, grabbing her, and squeezing her neck. Less than two months later, he breached the restraining order by returning to her home and assaulting her again. He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison for breaching the restraining order and a further four weeks for assault. In 2019, he was also given a 12-month community order for selling counterfeit cigarettes that were found to contain lead and high levels of cadmium.

Someone has to say it. The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - on this platform is out of control. We cannot allow a vile vocal minority to divide our nation. A lot of this content is illegal and Ofcom should be investigating. Solidarity with every player targeted. We are united.
