JD Vance said Joe Biden ate ice cream ‘in the most suggestive way imaginable’ and these comebacks were simply ice cold

To the world of JD Vance now, where the vice president took time out from his busy schedule to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Not for the first time Vance had Joe Biden on his mind, but this particular angle is surely something new, the one thing that the vice president said he simply couldn’t […] The post JD Vance said Joe Biden ate ice cream ‘in the most s

The BBC did a ‘celebrity’ version of Wonderwall before England’s Argentina game and it was so bad even they took it down

Just when you thought England’s 2-1 semi-final defeat by Argentina couldn’t get any worse, along comes this. It’s a ‘celebrity’ version of Wonderwall put together by the BBC ahead of last night’s game, the Oasis song becoming something of an anthem for fans (and players) during the team’s progress through the tournament. And we’re not […] The post The BBC di

Liz Truss just opened the British answer to American’s CPAC and got just the reception she deserved

Like us you might have missed that it’s the opening day of CPAC GB, the British version of CPAC, the right-wing get together so beloved of Donald Trump and mega MAGAs everywhere. We’re not entirely sure what sort of crowd the opening speaker Liz Truss was hoping to draw, but the reception she receives in […] The post Liz Truss just opened the British answer

Of all the gutted England football fans no-one was taking the Argentina defeat worse than this guy on Sky News

World Cup heartache – again! – for England as they let slip a one-goal semi-final lead to go out 2-1 to Argentina. There are lots of sore (and sad) heads around this morning, but surely no-one was taking it worse than this England fan who wandered in – and out – of shot on Sky […] The post Of all the gutted England football fans no-one was taking the Argenti

People reckon this hilarious exchange between Jude Bellingham and Lionel Messi was the moment England’s World Cup fate was sealed

As no-one anywhere needs reminding, England are out of the World Cup after suffering a heartbreaking 2-1 semi-final defeat to Argentina. Lionel Messi didn’t score but he was instrumental in setting up both of Argentina’s goals in an out of this world second half display. And people reckon it was this magnificent first half exchange […] The post People reckon

We wish we hadn’t just watched it but the BBC’s World Cup montage after England’s exit was simply so good

The morning after the night before and it’s another four years of hurt for the England football team and the entire nation. But there’s one thing we’ll always win at – sadly – and that’s the quality of the BBC’s montages after another World Cup defeat. We wish we hadn’t just watched it, for obvious […] The post We wish we hadn’t just watched it but the BBC’s

People enjoyed Keir Starmer’s takedown of Reform UK-er and Tory turncoat Danny Kruger over Nigel Farage’s impending Clacton by-election

To Keir Starmer’s final PMQs for one last time where the outgoing PM appeared to be enjoying himself more than at any time since he arrived in Downing Street. And there was time for one final takedown after Reform UK-er and Tory turncoat Danny Kruger asked once again why Labour weren’t playing ball with Nigel […] The post People enjoyed Keir Starmer’s takedo

Just 23 world-beating dad jokes to take your mind off England’s World Cup defeat by Argentina for a moment or two at least

With England suffering yet more World Cup heartache (when did this run start for you? For us it goes all the way back to Italia 90) there is only one thing to do. No, not go to the pub but hit the big red emergency button marked ‘dad jokes’. And in this case we are […] The post Just 23 world-beating dad jokes to take your mind off England’s World Cup defeat

Kemi Badenoch had her A++ say on Nigel Farage and Count Binface at PMQs and it set up Keir Starmer for the perfect payoff

It was a different sort of PMQs today as Keir Starmer said goodbye as PM from the Dispatch Box for the final time. And aside from all the various tributes which verged on the quite moving at times – no, seriously – there was one thing that everyone could agree on, and that was Nigel […] The post Kemi Badenoch had her A++ say on Nigel Farage and Count Binface

Ed Davey’s takedown of Nigel Farage was a genuinely funny PMQs moment and the Lib Dem leader won everybody’s vote

It was Keir Starmer’s final PMQs as prime minister and a rather emotional – it was! – half hour or so it was too. But it wasn’t all about the PM and his opposite number, Kemi Badenoch, being remarkably civilised at the Dispatch Box. No, there was also the spectre of Nigel Farage looming overhead, […] The post Ed Davey’s takedown of Nigel Farage was a genuine

There was something missing from Alec Baldwin’s tribute to Sam Neill and it’s the unintentionally funniest thing he’s ever done

Awful news this week that the great Sam Neill has died aged 78. He always seemed like a lovely guy as well as being a fabulous actor, and the sheer volume of tributes to him bore that out. This particular tribute went viral not for what it had to say about Neill but rather what […] The post There was something missing from Alec Baldwin’s tribute to Sam Neill

The World Cup final half-time break will be 30 minutes long and basically the entire internet responded as one

Not content with the wildly irritating ‘hydration breaks’ interrupting the flow of both halves at this year’s World Cup, the half-time break will apparently be 30 minutes long to accommodate a Super Bowl style showbiz extravaganza featuring Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber and BTS and curated by, er, Chris Martin. FIFA to break football’s laws by […] The post

An anti-woke Trumparian somehow took against the children World Cup mascots and of all the A++ replies this one knocked the rest out the park

Like us you might not have come across Dave Portnoy before (although oddly we now appear to have written about him twice in as many weeks). Anyway, DP is the founder of Barstool Sports, famous for one-bite pizza reviews on YouTube, supporting Donald Trump and being a champion for anti-wokers everywhere. He’s also delighted he’s […] The post An anti-woke Trum

Peckish Will Mellor just went nuts about the size of his Snickers bar and it’s the most British thing you’ll see this week

Celebrity news now – well, news of a sort – after a peckish Will Mellor thought a Snickers bar might sate his hunger until it was time for his next meal. Except it’s fair to say that the Two Pints of Lager and much else besides star wasn’t entirely impressed in a clip that’s just […] The post Peckish Will Mellor just went nuts about the size of his Snickers

Donald Trump was basically begging the Iraq PM to thank him and he totally, absolutely 100% wasn’t playing ball

To the White House where Donald Trump has been talking about how fabulously his foreign policy has been going in the Middle East despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, obviously. The president was playing host to Iraq prime minister Ali al-Zaidi where they discussed deepening economic ties between the two countries and upping Iraq’s oil […] The post

Nick Robinson was taking zero nonsense from Robert Jenrick and had people everywhere cheering him on

To the studios of the Today programme where presenter Nick Robinson had the pleasure of interviewing Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick. Well, we say interviewing, but Jenrick appeared keener to just go on and on – and on. So much so that Robinson felt the need to (briefly) call a halt to proceedings and we’re glad […] The post Nick Robinson was taking zero nonsense

Donald Trump was at pains to point out his Iran war could be going worse and it wasn’t the slam dunk he thought it was

Donald Trump has declared victory in his war on Iran at least 30 times at the time we write this (and probably a lot more by the time you read it). And yet despite that the United States continues to drop bombs on the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. It’s almost […] The post Donald Trump was at pains to point out his Iran war could be goi

Donald Trump was asked if the Russians had ‘poisoned’ Lindsey Graham and his answer said so much more about Trump than it did Graham

As you may very well have seen elsewhere, Lindsey Graham, the US senator and key ally of Donald Trump, has died aged 71. We mention it because Trump was interviewed on the right-winger’s right-wing news channel, Newsman, where he was asked about the possibly that Graham had been poisoned by the Russians during a visit […] The post Donald Trump was asked if t

Victoria Derbyshire just ran rings round Richard Tice and Nigel Farage’s £5m ‘security’ gift

To the studios of BBC2’s Newsnight now, where Victoria Derbyshire was keen to talk security with Nigel Farage’s righthand man, Richard Tice. Specifically, the questions Reform UK are asking around Farage’s security when he’d just been given £5m which he said was to pay for, er, his security, and when the Reform UK leader had […] The post Victoria Derbyshire

A free speech warrior said he could say what he likes about Ann Widdecombe and was magnificently owned into next year

As you may have already read elsewhere, British counter-terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of the former MP and Reform spokesperson Ann Widdecombe. Widdecombe’s body was found with serious injuries at her home in Devon, causing shock and sadness in Westminster and around the country. There’s been no end of speculation […] The p
