Peter Odemwingie on EPL transfer deadline day in 2013 sat in his car outside Loftus Road. He's about to find out that QPR haven't actually bought him from West Brom.
Steve Carell as Michael Scott in the US version of The Office. He is sat in front of a whiteboard that says "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky" - Michael Scott.
The David Cross/Portia de Roosi "These people delude themselves into somehow thinking it might work." meme but for Starmer and Badenoch thinking the left of their parties don't have anywhere to go.

Some twee cunt: "Sex is great but have you ever spent the night reading Agatha Christie in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying multiple cups of tea and freshly-baked scones in a Scottish Highlands cottage during a raging thunderstorm?"
Alan Partridge stood in front of a flip chart that says "Just Sack Pat". This also needs to happen with McFadden, not to save anyone's job, but because he's a shithead.

An Oregon Trail screenshot: "You have died of dysentery."
Julia Donaldson's children's story ZOG (illustrated by Axel Sheffler) about an accident prone dragon who desperately wants to be top of dragon class. The fucking nerd.
Elon Musk on Twitter: "Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN when he was head of Crown Prosecution for 6 years. Starmer must go and he must face charges for his complicity in the worst mass crime in the history of Britain."
"Only mentioned users, users followed by @coreyatad.com, and users following @coreyatad.comcan reply."
Split by graduate, mid-skilled, lower-skilled Labour voters who think each group should take 10 years to permanent settlement is 15%/16%/21%. This doesn't include longer than 10 years or 'never', but those totals max at 15% for each group - there is a clear Labour supporting majority for people being able to settle permanently in less than 10 years.
How long should people wait to settle and become British? There are 3 groups, graduate level workers, mid-skilled (chefs, plumbers, electricians are the examples) and low-skilled. No group has a majority for more than 10 years and only low-skilled has a majority for 10+ 50% of people think it should be 5 years or less for graduate level workers and 41% think the same for mid-skilled workers. 13%-14% of people consistently think that there should never be a route to permanent settlement.
"I understand why liberal progressives are angry with Starmer, I don’t understand why so many of my formerly centre right neighbours are. They seem furious with him rather than pleased he’s been courting them. What’s the GB News line?"
"You have many great strengths that I admire. You led our party to a victory few thought possible in 2024 and I was proud to fight alongside you in the trenches of that campaign."
Oz Katerji defending some 2024 "Starmer rulez" tweets: Those tweets of mine aren't even incorrect by the way! I'm sure there are takes of mine that have aged badly, but Starmer outsmarting his Corbynite opponents during the leadership contest is still objectively true. Like what are you even on about."
"Obviously public opinion is vitally important but you & virtually every other commentator & the destabilisers in Labour seem to have forgotten that Starmer is PM of a major country during various global crises. We need good government not good opinion polls. There's no Churchill waiting in the wings"
"The backstabbing & infighting needs to stop. It’s totally unnecessary & just gives an already biased & anti-Starmer MSM, more ammunition. The MPs stirring it need to calm down, be professional & properly represent their constituents’ interests rather than their own personal interests."
An image of the local election result in Tyseley and Hay Mills where Labour have lost 57.2 points and the situation is as follows: Green 20.5 Lib Dems 17.3 Labour 17.3 Reform 16.1 Workers Party (!) 14.3 Cons 11.3 Your Party 3.4
Luke Tryl describing the strategy he thinks Labour should adopt to address its poor performance: "The glue that can unite both wings is economics, Mamdanism even. But you have to be properly credible enough on immigration both legal and crossings, but of course won’t out bid Reform, but that credibility gets you a hearing then to do the economic/climate piece that unites your coalition."
A response to the news that Kemi Badenoch is "absolutely livid" about David Gauke being nominated for a knighthood: "I was a bit WTF with Gauke being nominated but... tbh, having seen this reaction from Kemi and the shithousery it took I am 100% behind it. Using the honours system to troll LOTO is the way."
"Results that bad would "pose real questions over the party's direction", according to one Tory MP, who told PoliticsHome it would "cause a huge amount of soul searching in the party, especially as there is a feeling that there has been a lot of gain over the last year, with conference seen as the turning point"." Tory MPs and activists have lost the plot.
From an article in the Hackney Citizen: "She also highlighted the fact that the letter did not also mention the arson and violent attacks on the Jewish community and the Met’s proposed action on this."
Comments which Mark Adderley says aren't conspiratorial or antisemitic: 'I am telling you now, Charlie Kirk was not shot by this guy [the suspect Tyler Robinson]. He was taken out. It's the deep state, [Israel's] Mossad intelligence, CIA' he said. 'It's the same fucking thing - CIA, Mossad, is everything hermetically sealed? Two days after the Bondi Beach Attack Adderley uploaded a video blaming Netanyahu - the 'only person who has made the lives of Jewish people infinitely more dangerous.' Adderley added as a caption: 'Once again the Grim Reaper of Israel BLAMES everyone else for the awful violence on Bondi Beach but never ever entertains the thought that HE is single handedly responsible for endangering the lives of Jewish people and Muslims around the world.' In another video, made in March after a kamikaze drone - believed to have been fired by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon - struck a British base in Cyprus, Adderley questioned whether it was an 'Israeli false flag?'
Will Stancil looking smug, as if he's just thought of the perfect chart to DESTROY your argument.
A debate entitled In Search of Place and Purpose, in which James Orr, David Wengrow, Thangam Debbonaire are hosted by Philip Collins. The debate considers whether "human beings need a clear status within a hierarchical social order to flourish". It's a debate between people who all agree that hierarchies fucking rule.
Jamelle Bouie:"what's funny about this is that tarantino wrote this "ezekial 25-17" for the film. It isn't actually in the bible." He's referring to an article which describes how Hegseth quoted a version of Jules' famous speech (which Tarantino took from the English dub of a Sonny China film) as if it were a real bible quote.

A Guardian headline from April 2024 based on a Telegraph srticle written by the PM: "Tory party has 'lost any right' to call itself patriotic, says Starmer."
A tweet from Polanski: "Labour are complicit in a genocide. Labour are pretending we have a nuclear deterrent despite the fact it doesn't work and relies on Donald Trump. And all the while - they've got nothing substantial to say because they've tied our national security to the USA. Some patriots."
Somebody posting as if they are their cat and their cat uses a stupid baby voice: "Fiasco have got... DEDLY FANGS Now I have seen them, carry on ur business as normal"
A post by Luke Tryl about More In Common polling of conspiracy theories - 24% of respondents said that the moon landings were either probably or definitely a hoax staged by NASA. The polling was in comparison to the number of people who think McSweeney faked the theft of his phone (apparently a conspiracy theory??!) - 74% of people think that's probably or definitely true.
"Conceptual" James Lindsay looking like a fucking twat while holding a sword. He is convinced this photo makes him look incredibly cool. Dickhead.
"Today we can no longer describe parties such as Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy, the German AfD or our own Reform UK as “far” from anything, representing as they do typically a quarter of the electorate. After elections this weekend it will have become clear that it is the conventional centre right parties that are collapsing rather than their challengers."
"I had a history prof in the 90s who likened America to an enormous untrained puppy that, while well intentioned, wasn't housebroken and couldn't tell what food was his so created enormous messes wherever it went. It was apt. Better than the alligator with imperial Id we have now."
The profile bio of the guy Greg is quoting: "Retired. Old Gay. Brighton & Hove . Centrist, social liberal but fiscally more conservative . Dogs, conservation, gardening, books, fine wine, single malt whisky"

A Pew Research survey that shows 82% of people in the UK "rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as..." very good or somewhat good. The headline is that the Yanks hate each other. They're the only country in the list where more than 50% of people are negative about their neighbours.
A visitcalifornia Instagram ad that reads: A theme park inspired by... garlic artichokes, and gardens?!🧄 This is Gilroy Gardens, and it might be California's most unexpected amusement park. It's a park themed around...
Councillor Sean Lee reposting a Facebook message that shows Netanyahu as Trump's puppeteer below text which reads "There is now complete moral justification and legal precedent for the assassination of Netanyahu and Trump. Removing them would do far more for world peace than the murder of Ali Khamenei. Yes, he was a despicable tyrant but at a lesser scale."
"There was cautious optimism for the Greens - Zack Polanski in particular was viewed positively. Participants highlighted the party's stance on Gaze and its Muslim co-deputy leader, Mothin Ali, and more broadly saw it as "inclusive" toward ethnic minorities. Curiously, no one mentioned the environment, and the Green Party's positions on trans rights or defence - areas other parties perceive as vulnerabilities for Polanski - appeared to concern no one."
Sheffield Wednesday takeover collapses - James Bord-led consortium withdraws from process
Freddie Sayers in response to Mandelson being arrested: The British state seems to have hit upon the hazily defined common law offence of 'misconduct in public office' to string up anyone who has been deemed a bad person by media outrage but who hasn't clearly broken any laws. Dystopian, illiberal, should spook us all.
Lisa Simpson saying "Mr Burns, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train..."
Juror No 59: “Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because – ” The court: “OK. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?” Juror No 59: “It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.” The court: “All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.” Juror No 59: “And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.”
A 'Gender' dropdown with the options Male/Female/Other/John Cena/Non-Binary
From More in Common "Britons' top issues this week" people are asked to select the 3 most important issues facing the country right now. Unsurprisingly "the debate about transgender people" is below the 15 other topics with only 1% citing it. It's also below 'other' on 3%.
A Snopes article about whether Trump shit himself in a press conference that I have edited because I'm a scamp.
Under the Equality Act, white people are displaced as positive discrimination is rife and institutions such as charities and NGOs, as well as government departments use it to push extreme racial, gender, and societal changes.
"Nearly all the highlighted expert-based articles originated from PRs seeking brand mentions and valuable SEO links to commercial companies."
The cabinet is also inexperienced. “The only minister who really knows how to work the system and get officials delivering what he wants is Ed Miliband, who has been there before,” a colleague said of the climate-crusading energy secretary. “And Ed is the one minister we don’t want to be a success if we want to win the next election.”
