It can be no surprise to anyone that the current President of the USA is a dyed-in-the-wool misogynist. Hands up if you thought Trump’s disgusting comments about groping women, caught on tape in 2016, would have ruled him out of getting his feet under the Resolute Desk. He’s since been declared by a judge to […]

It’s the holiday season, so we’re becoming accustomed to a certain section of society having a massive rant about made-up attacks on Christmas on the basis of absolutely no evidence – mostly powered by moral outrage. We’ve seen people getting their knickers in a twist over a hijab in a Marks and Spencer advert. The […]

We can’t argue with Twitter user @justflapjack that this gym activity is hard. Very hard, in fact. We won’t be trying it anytime soon*. *ever What’s harder than this? pic.twitter.com/9GGXn6x6AN — flapjack 〽️ (@justflapjack) June 29, 2025 But when they challenged the internet to name something harder, people really stepped up. 1. Entering a password […]

The US Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, really wants you to believe he’s a struggling farmer just like the rest of us. At least, that’s the only explanation for why he keeps going on national TV and lying about it. Bessent’s latest attempt at relating to the average, struggling American was on the CBS show, […]

A warm welcome back to Helen Whateley, the Conservative MP who has appeared frequently on these pages in the past and will doubtless do so again. Here the shadow work and pensions secretary was talking about the Motability scheme about which she is getting especially hot under the collar. But the numbers she was talking […]

Marjorie Taylor Greene was going through some sort of metamorphosis over the last six months. She was denouncing Trump and playing nice with the media. Everyone was embracing her surprising candor when it came to the faults of her party. Welp, that’s over now. MTG let the mask slip off in this grade school-level exchange […]

In case you missed it, Donald Trump is President of the United States of America right now. Joe Biden hasn’t been President in a year. In that time, President Trump has been so busy helping the country improve across a wide swath of issues that he keeps falling asleep in public and rambling on incoherently […]

Here’s what happens to a GB News presenter when they turn up on a channel that isn’t GB News. Not every time, obviously, but specifically in this case when Matt Goodwin, a Conservative activist, GB News commentator and regular speaker at Reform UK events turned up on Al Jazeera to be interviewed by Mehdi Hasan. […]

Nigel Farage isn’t happy with the BBC. No surprise there. But specifically he’s not happy with BBC1’s Question Time and the direction last week’s programme took on immigration, in the presence of QT panellist, entirely unelected Reform UK-er, Zia Yusuf. BBC Question Time is an utterly discredited programme. No wonder half a million people refuse […]

Tommy Robinson wannabe Stephen Yaxley-Lennon memorably describes himself as a ‘journalist’ in his Twitter bio, although it’s probably not too much of a a stretch to presume that he’s not a member of the National Union of Journalists or anything. If it’s a stretch for credibility then it’s surely one that only his most devoted […]
