Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

Of those 71, Lib Dems *took* SIXTY directly from the Conservatives. And since then Kemi hasn’t had a poll lead for even one single week. Why are we reading all this coverage about what she’s going to do when she’s PM?

Here's a parody about the price of gas having soared (with everything else) since the Iran war, called "Gasoline". It's adapted from the classic "Jolene" by the incredible Dolly Parton who sadly died a few weeks ago, but left an incredible legacy of music, generosity & heart ❤️ youtu.be/WhwPBlI4u0A

I don't know if it actually does make the party discriminatory. But it will certainly be accused and judged so. I dread to think how the right wing media are going to use this.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

Saw this and thought: My guys, 59-26 was definitely NOT entertaining. It was too one-sided so I flicked over to watch the rugby league play off that evening.

Excerpt from BBC Sport:
...with an average of more than 10 [tries] per game and four players claiming hat-tricks as spectators were royally entertained.

Contributing two of those scores was Christian Wade for Newcastle Red Bulls in their 59-26 loss at Northampton Saints

GB News exists only to drive the UK further right and radicalise the elderly and unwary, who get sucked in with 1980s daytime TV stars and nostalgia, and drip fed fear, anger, hate to make them xenophobic enough to vote for a man like Nigel Farage who serves only himself and his rotten backers.

New GB News accounts are out. Here are their losses to date. Or "spent political donations" if you prefer

Line chart titled 'GB News has lost £142m to date', showing cumulative losses in pounds rising steadily from around £3m in 2020/1 to £142m by 2025. The red line climbs most steeply between 2021/2 and 2023/4, reaching roughly £110m, then flattens as growth slows towards £142m. A note states the latest figures cover the seven-month period to 31 December 2025. Chart by Press Gazette, source: Companies House

Whenever this comes up my mind goes to cases like Andrew Malkinson. 17 years in prison for a crime some say should be punishable by death. Then after many appeals it is eventually proven that he didn't do it. If he was killed there would have been no reason to finally find the true perpetrator.

James Elsender @jameselsender.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The whole reporting of "early" is a falsehood anyway. They would have been released early before. Now they have just changed the timing so they are released (on conditions I should add) earlier than they previously would have been.

Well the obvious answer as to why they were arrested and the released on bail is that there wasnt enough evidence to hold them beyond the legal time period. The obvious answer to the UK and US giving different accounts is that the US has dementia riddled maligant narcissist as their leader.
