So sad that this grotesque adolescent dipshit has any authority at all. A total abject embarrassing mess of a man.

Trump: "We've gonna shove it up their ass ... They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches" Remember when presidents had dignity? Here's a lowlight supercut from Trump's rally tonight in Ohio:

This Is Not a Review: Magritte in London

I have loved the work of René Magritte ever since I first encountered it as a teenager at the start of the 1970s; indeed, one of the very first books on art that I bought, in 1974, was Suzi Gablik’…

A brief personal remembrance of the late, great film producer Jeremy Thomas. RIP. geoffandrew.com/2026/09/14/t…

The Film Producer as Mensch: Remembering Jeremy Thomas

My tardiness in posting a brief tribute to the late, great film producer Jeremy Thomas – who died last Friday, aged 77 – was due not only to the fact that, at the time of his death, I myself was ju…

My plea to MPs: this is the final chance to save the assisted dying bill. Make your mark on history...

Any MP not voting for it on Friday will condemn thousands of us to die in agony. The public is hugely in favour too, so do the right thing, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

RNLI volunteers involved in Sunday’s rescue have reportedly had their names and home addresses shared online. Nigel Farage shared, then deleted, Ant Middleton’s post calling for the RNLI to be defunded. Middleton, once an RNLI ambassador, is not fit to shine the wellies of today’s RNLI heroes.

Pres Trump offers $5k to every US adult if the Republicans keep the House & Senate. A US federal statute makes it a crime for anyone to make or offer to make an "expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate".

Replying to @RobertJenrick
@RobertJenrick Just said "boo hoo" In response to two women being brutally attacked at the Reform party conference. Utterly shocking. This should where his real resignation is handed in. He is literally giving the green light to violence against women.

Another young female protester receiving brutal treatment for heckling at the Reform conference. Look at the guy take a swipe at her with his crutch. Nigel Farage actually encouraged this from the stage, he’s completely unfit for public office.
