I am always delighted to see how the liberal metropolitan elite has been totally smashed up in favour of ordinary working people in the north of England. 👀
My word. Contrast that embarrassing corruption word salad with this desperate, deeply felt plea from a tearful former President of Ireland, who can actually see through the spin and sees how serious this all is. She is now President of @TheElders. #COP26
Sorry, are we living in an old episode of @rorybremner Bird & Fortune?
Just a reminder that the woeful Australian government #COP26 stance everyone is rightly attacking is the same government with whom we agreed to waive sustainability and climate clauses in pursuit of a trade deal (that isn’t even done anyway). #BrexitDisaster#ClimateEmergency
Anyway, there’s no problem here. None whatsoever.
This is fine.
This very grumpy Minister thinks it’s all the fault of journalists keeping stories in their back pocket. I have no idea how these people end up in their jobs. I wouldn’t hire them to replace a fridge panel.

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

🧵I am pleased to present my retrospective online exhibition celebrating some of the many glorious moments of the brilliant Tory government we have just enjoyed, sorry endured, for almost 5 years. First up, Exhibit 1:
I’m not saying it’s like the last days of Rome or anything but they’ve decided to replace Lee Anderson with this as the Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party.
This is not a drill. Please assemble at the nearest muster station.
And no, this isn’t a joke. They’re totally fucked. Desperate times.
I cannot stop watching this. It’s one of the most peculiar things I’ve ever seen, which given the venue, is really saying something. Get to the end (if you can).
I would like to mark the sad resignation of Nadine Dorries by fondly recalling the historic occasion on which she learnt how the television station she was planning to sell was funded, live on air.
Dear reader: the station was never sold.
