In the news

Can't be 100% sure of the way the asteroid is made up and whether smashing fuck out of it would move it away or disintegrate some of it or whatever, then I suppose you have to assume that whatever happens is typical as most of the asteroids have a similar composition.

This was my first thought when I read the post!
Great tune, fabulous album.

I'm pretty sure I saw him speak once - really interesting guy.

Not saying things are really bad but the front page of the Daily Express today is literally "Trust the plan bro"

Darren Grimes sacked from GBNews after claims he told a junior staffer to have sex with him or get sacked:

His twitter suggests he's back on at 2pm on Saturday. Seems he was trolling by deleting things... maybe... who knows

Swung by the shop for some bread.

Jesus fucking christ.

The state of the headlines!

I can't even...

The pound even tanking against the rouble

“Honey I shrunk the quids”

Hah

😂😂😂

I have shares in Yandex which have been frozen for 5m due to the war - these are now way up due to weakening pound. That says it all!

Hope Starmer doesn't cough in the wrong place during his speech today or we won't hear about the economy falling off a cliff for a few days in the news.

The Metro has “The pound Kwartanks” alongside a picture of Kwarteng.

Doesn't even make sense.

Labour members vote to change UK election system to proportional representation

Fucking finally.

Which Keith has already said he will ignore, because of course 💁

Yeah, it’s the only way to stop a minority party running a country.

At what point do the allegations from that Tory whips dossier that leaked in 2017 (many of which have been substantiated since) and Liz and Kwasi living in the same street in Greenwich crash into each other?

Remember that there are well intentioned minority parties that get no voice at present, despite having a reasonable amount of support.

Edit: worth a look

Some innuendo seemed to be made in the press when she appointed her Cabinet - the term 'close allies' seemed to be used as the code across multiple outlets.

The press does this every so-often. e.g. I think I remember Ryan Giggs was constantly referred to as a 'consummate family man' (or similar phrase) in the back pages across multiple publications when he had an injunction against the reporting of his affair - and that it was used incongruously and mostly in entirely football-related articles.

The mainstream journos have their in-jokes and sometimes it's just a matter of busting into the jargon. Maybe these two have an injunction themselves after that same whips leak?

There was talk in popbitch about going in dry.
That resurfaced on twitter when the leadership changed.

Even by his standards, Andrew Bridgen was deranged on R4 today - nothing the fault of the government, if we’d been fracking for 2 years we’d be laughing now, the pound is tanking because America has “energy”.

No challenge along the lines “well, you’ve had 12 years to make a difference and have just stayed that you can’t - time to fuck off and give someone else a chance”

He's properly batshit eh? Cultist to his dying breath
