I am tired today, and this seriously messed with my brain.
Oh no.
🙃
This is comically specific.
👀
Oops
Refuse to be called woke by someone who talks like a Harry Potter side character having a stroke. “Noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll?” Go to a hospital.
Cookers gonna cook. #Auspol

Not going to bother saying this too often outside of election time but for god's sake look at poll averages not individual polls.
🚨The FCA is aiming to publish a consultation towards the end of the year on measures to 'clarify its expectations for non-advised pension transfers', which could include asking whether transfer cash incentives should be restricted inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...
What the fuck?!
Bloody hell.
I know it's the Telegraph, but nothing — absolutely nothing in the op-ed — justifies this headline.
Betoota has run like...ten...Katter pieces in 24 hours and they're getting better and better.
Currently on the mildmay line where half the train is either blasting games, music or phone calls, so much that it sounds like a pachinko hall. I'm afraid warnings aren't gonna cut it. Jail for all of them. (Yes I'm tired and grumpy)
👀
Exhausting.
As Capital Economics points out, the answer to this very silly question is 'no'. anyone trying to whip this up should have a serious chat with themselves
I used to joke that the UK was going to go all "Children of Men" after Brexit... But reading this after the shit that's happening this week has made that far less funny. Grim.
As I set out here: observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Nice of the lads to rock up for a dead rubber. I'll take it, though. #AUSvsSA
Shame then that some rich economies are doing their best to alienate foreign workers, hey.
Christ, they've changed it again!
Lol
...ok
Live blogging a few hundred racists hounding asylum seekers... This sucks.
As bad as this is, surely it should be "claims"
Dig up stupid.
The Battle of Beersheba....in 1917....which was then Palestine... Fucking hell....
Well...that was tense. #PortvsGoldCoast
Very important reading, this.
Hard to disagree with this... Also, just posting the link below for no reason whatsoever...
Art.
This shit is radicalising me. I cannot be blamed for my actions if it keeps happening.
Shot, chaser. Also, plenty of outlets published this stuff last year, and it didn't end up happening, which led to thousands of people raiding their pensions, which they now can't fix. Rant over.
Lol what
Oh no.
Turns out slapping a big *Immigration is bad* announcement on everything leads the public to believe it is. Grim.
Ooft.
No.
ALP +3 LNP -2
All this bLaCk MaRkEt stuff in relation to gambling taxes does strike me as bollocks, i have to say. Interesting to see this chap saying the same on.ft.com/4lvlrpq
It appears that Zoe has gone to the Ed fringe for the first time...
Yeah, good luck with that mate.
Just a guess but might have something to do with the whole anti-fascism thing...
Yeah....
This is all sorts of fucked up...
This is great gear.
Going to pretend I didn't see this.
Nooo
Personally, if I were in the No10 comms team, I’d suggest talking about this rather than immigration and “legitimate” racist concerns.

Again: shock.
Shock.
Well, give them more of Cricket Australia's riches then, Todd. Honestly...this is such an infuriating comment by the CA boss.
Oh boy.
Correct.
Markets absolutely love this...
Sorry, a what group?!
As always, no.
If you're just going to make shit up for a big ol dog whistle it should probably include a somewhat believable number....
Ask stupid questions etc
That's weird because I was having 6pm dinners in the 90s as a kid....and pretty sure my parents did before that.
Savage drive-by this. 10/10.
Someone needs an intervention (again).
Of all the places to pick....Farage went for the West End of London....
Gotta love a redemption story... #EngvsInd
How good!
India, and Siraj, deserved that - immense. #EngvsInd
Alex Carey would have hit the stumps. #EngvsInd
Fucking hell. #EngvsInd
Umpires just out there firing blokes and I'm all for it. #EngvsInd
It's happening. #EngvsInd
Omfg #EndvsInd
Yeah nah.
New ball in four overs :) #EngvsInd
I can smell pommy fear, and it's great.
This Test could get really, really funny now. #EngvsInd
England "bazballing" at 3.66 an over. #EngvsInd
No shit.
The system works (sometimes).
Cool cool cool...
They're idiots, but by all means keep going lads.
Works every time. #ENGvsIND
Hard pass. #Auspol
*Taps sign* www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I think India should just bowl better. #ENGvsIND
So...the vast, vast majority of prisoners are not foreign born then, hey?
Big lols
The Government shouldn't make use of social media that normal people and [spits] The Youth pay attention to, instead, comms should be entirely focused on me, a slightly depressed thirty-something nerd that subscribes to three basically identical substacks.
👀
It's a crime Faker wasn't in the top 100 imo.
"decent desert"
Big sooky lala - perfect. #EngvsInd
The England cricket team achieving a new level of dickhead here. #ENGvsIND
