Apparently joined when he was 15 which puts him at 1999. I’m sure he was a staffer for John McDonnell; from that POV it’s perhaps understandable if he hates Starmer more than the Tories. Starmer’s hitched his wagon to the Tories rather than hijacking them.

Apparently this lad is standing for them in East Kilbride after being humphed out of UKIP and apparently failing to gain much traction with his own Theocratic Movement Party. Sounds fun. One of their main policies is to legalise prostitution and allow civil servants four ‘free’ visits to brothels every year in recognition of their contribution to society. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/east-kilbrides-westminster-candidate-claims-2429646

Which ones, the Colin Fox ones?

Chicago does it the Saturday before the 17th. The weather being unseasonably pleasant yesterday means it’ll likely have been an even bigger shitshow than usual.

Bears will be keeping the top pick, Fields offski to Pittsburgh. Seemed inevitable after the Keenan Allen signing.

Had my first Australian whiskey last night courtesy of a boy doing samples in the supermarket - Starward Two Fold. Two years old and aged in Aussie red wine casks. Too young to have anything much about it and completely monstered by the wine, but not terrible. A very easy pass at US$35 when I can get a bottle of Dickel 8 for $32 or a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 for $38 tho.

It might be about having a brother who murders dogs; Hanania shares that one with Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

To be fair, if they actually gave him the money that bit is pretty newsworthy.

‘Hey Bukayo!’ ’What is it gaffer?’ ’Don’t trust lip readers, they’re all c***s’

Sounds like someone’s jealous they can’t defeat wokism with their genitals.

I have a picture of Owen Jones as my phone wallpaper so that after shaking off the last couple of sprinkles I can pull it out and thwack his ghastly coupon with the old chap before tucking it away and washing my hands.

Of course it's fucking racist. Anderson described Islamists as Khan's mates. For a quick example, Khan promotes the hell out of, and, as far as I'm aware, marches in the Pride parades every year. Islamists, notoriously aren't too keen on that sort of thing. He certainly doesn't share a cultural outlook with them. About as much as he shares with them is a (perceived) ethnic origin. Ergo, Anderson is racist dogwhistling to the basest form of simpleton. Who's a good boy?

Sunday Sport thread for this pish. And Sarah Palin, quite possibly.

World’s longest surviving iron lung patient snuffs it after 72 years in the thing; King Charles being 75 means Paul Alexander doesn’t get the title of most extended period of malingering, unfortunately https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1238251518/iron-lung-polio-paul-alexander

Maybe Coburn again - could add weight to their differentiation from the Tories, given that Carlaw of the fallen madonna with ze big boobies KBd him when he tried to join them.

Although to tie it in nicely, the easiest way to have lots of anonymous members of the public roll their eyes and switch off whenever you appear would be to run as a Reform candidate, which is probably viable; if they’re standing in every constituency I can’t imagine they’ll be too choosy about who they’re putting out there.

Having to interrupt my tea-making process to yell at my daughter to move her fucking arse and then copping a top lip full of teabag when taking my final gulp of the made, half-cold cup has not started my morning off with a smile.

She ran for Senate not so long ago but didn't make it out of the GOP primaries. ETA - almost all of that was wrong, sorry! It was the House she ran for, and Alaska runs ranked choice voting - Mary Peltola (D) beat Palin (who was the top of the GOP candiates) by 49% to 26% for first choice votes and then by 55 to 45 once second and third preferences had been tabulated. https://alaskapublic.org/2022/11/23/peltola-wins-alaskas-u-s-house-race-by-10-point-margin/

‘What school did you go to mate…..aye but was it a Protestant madrassa or a Catholic madrassa?’

Which could mean the question of life, the universe and everything is ‘what’s the ideal age to have a wife bumped off because she doesn’t like you getting it up the arse off her pals?’

He's doing a grand job; Banquet and Miller High Life are decent beers, particularly when the supermarket does them at $6 for a 12 pack.

Canny whack a medal; Muttley kens the score
