A thread on how easy it is to get seriously ill in 5 days like Dorries did.
The point is why is she being tested without volunteering she met x people who were abroad given as we know she herself wasn't abroad?

Loss adjuster tries to stop the collapse of the industry.
Poorly explain your favorite movie to me without telling me the title. I want to see if I can guess the film. I need a mid-week chuckle.

The average new-build property has 130 defects, according to specialist inspection company HomeSnag. I visited one with Tom Britton and his team to find out why so many of Britain's shiny new homes are scarcely fit for purpose. Read: telegraph.co.uk/money/proper… Credit: @HomeSnag

South African series are always so enthralling. Need to find a way to make it 5 matches in the future. 3 has never been enough.

Burnhamism is Starmerism with a Northern accent.
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation. Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

Declassified UK wants to make it absolutely clear that we will not allow people to smear our media organisation with baseless accusations without consequence and that we reserve the right to take legal action against them.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about Sangita on this. Declassified are not journalists, they are antisemitic political activists Big difference

Sacha Baron Cohen: “my film flopped because everyone’s Hamas.” No, literally.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G sequel lasted one weekend in theaters, and the Hollywood Reporter is blaming pro-Palestine activists, and discussing "Hamas-affiliated operatives.” THR detailed a campaign by UK-based NewsCord, whose platform gave users AI-assisted templates to email cinemas; NewsCord says about 55,000 emails went out. THR then pointed to the group's support for Gaza aid flotilla participants, whose leaders the US Treasury designated "Hamas-affiliated operatives." NewsCord, which calls Ali G a form of blackface, accused THR of drawing "conspiratorial links." Amazon MGM opened the film on just 23 screens, withheld box office figures, and moved it to Prime Video five days later, per World of Reel.

Also means that actual nonces, when asked why they are on the list they can now say "oh it wasn't kids or nothing, i just have a thing for ladies sitting on my face" which kinda undermines the whole public protection aspect of it all.
This is actually a lot more drastic than the age checks, as the banned categories are a criminal offence for you personally, rather than a regulation on websites. And if you get caught, the charge will just be “extreme pornography” so everyone will assume you’re a Proper Nonce.

Hasan Piker banned from entering Britain. Sally Rooney unable to sell her books here. Now Andreas Malm barred from the country. All for speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. This is Andy Burnham’s Britain. An authoritarian Labour government that continues to arm a genocide while criminalising those who dare to oppose it. Shame on them all.

Patrick Stewart. Turned up so early and so unobtrusively to be a star in the reasonably priced car, we mistook him for a delivery driver and asked him to go round the back. Took his hat off and said, “But I’m the captain of the Enterprise”. Fucking nice guy.

There's only been one perfect Premier League hat-trick assisted by a perfect hat-trick of assists. Fowler scored the hat trick ( left foot, right foot, head). I provided the assists ( left foot, right foot, head). 3-1 Anfield win v Arsenal. You're welcome.
I’m off to a football pub quiz tonight so please give me your most niche football trivia that nobody else knows

Type London into Google Maps and you will see you drove into London. The zone doesn't take a "funny deviation to magically encompass the theme park" it follows the border of London. Happy to help.

Pinnacle of test cricket this. A match that started with a brilliant, quick scoring batting pitch is likely going to end with a tense, fairly low scoring run chase on a dust bowl.

Them banning different types of porn in the UK is so funny because to look at porn in the UK everyone is using a VPN nowerdays so it does nothing
