Rachel Hatred
When Chancellor Rachel Reeves first broke the manifesto promises on taxes, she said that she wouldn’t come back for more. ‘From now on, it’s on us’. And then she came back for more. Not to tax us, you understand, but to ‘ask us to contribute’. It’s that kind of snide, gaslighting that defines the liberal…

The Blartist Formerly Known As Prince
Well, that’s progress and probably the step required to pluck the Windsors from the precipice. Andrew’s is to face deprivation of his titles. But will it work? At the end of the day, integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is looking. The voluntary measures two weeks ago now seem like a tepid stab…

The Grand Old Duke of York
In the latest edition of the death by a thousand cuts, Prince Andrew has been relieved of a few gongs and will no longer use his Duke of York title. Note that unlike Virginia Giuffre, it hasn’t been stripped, flung around like a rag doll, and binned. It feels like we are being marched up…

Shit Hoyle
How many of us are looking forward to a holiday in Stockton-on-Tees? None. Because it’s a shithole. Let’s take a moment to celebrate all the national journalists who have flocked to buy properties in Stockton. Unfortunately, there are none. Because it’s a shithole. Even the inhabitants of Stockton think it’s a shithole – once they’ve…

Doing a Runner
It took a while, but the country has come to its senses. Johnson has been canned. Or rather, a select committee tee-ed him up, and he fell on his (pork) sword. Like Phillip Schofield, whom we have not seen for a few days, Phat Phuck has done a runner. As fagged-out Phil poignantly asked, ‘How…

Chicken Kiev
Another day, another Zelensky diktat to the West. And the line is again strikingly similar: demands for arms, a no-fly zone, ramped-up sanctions etc. The trite turd ultimately wants NATO to trigger World War III. How is it that this bloviating berk has bagged platforms to address overseas parliaments with this shameless shizzle? Well, that’s…

The Best Lines
At last we had sight of the Sue Gray report, for all the progress that meant. Starmer delivered a withering speech, which was well-composed, accurate, and powerful. What a shame his speechwriter isn’t gunning for the top job. At the moment, the Labour front bench is undoubtedly getting all the best lines (guffaw), but none…

Going With the Flow
Novak Djokovic has just been nicked, which should make for a fascinating episode of Border Security: Australia’s Front Line in due course. He’s off to the relative comfort of a ‘detention hotel’ along with various miscreants with their undeclared apples, bags of fish guts, and dried cat penises. If he does appeal it, we’re all going to…

Loose Cannons
Boris Johnson has announced the imminent removal of most COVID restrictions and asked the nation to ‘exercise its own judgement’. Given that the nation had elected him as Prime Minister, that may well be asking for trouble. All of this sparks the old Johnson-is-a-libertarian discourse into life, which once again pumps spunk into the some…

Badly Spun
Wow – nobody was expecting that. Labour scraped through in Batley and Spen. Dry the tears from your eyes and cash out those online bets. Kim’s going to close the loop and take her seat under the memorial plaque for her tearful maiden speech. That’s a speech by a tearful maiden, by the way. At…
