Marco Rubio wore ill-fitting shoes that Trump had given him, and Derek Guy’s subtle burn said it all without actual words
11 March 2026 @ 12:10 pm
According to White House insiders, Donald Trump has a generous streak. It’s not as difficult to believe as you’d think, once you realise that his generosity is confined to giving gifts of the same Florsheim shoes he wears to the men in his cohort, so that all the ‘boys’ can look like the saddest gang […]

This video of Andrew Tate was already good but the nickname took it to a whole new level and will surely never be bettered
11 March 2026 @ 11:50 am
To the world – briefly – of Andrew Tate, who’s back in Dubai (or, at least, trying to get back in Dubai) so he can do his bit for his own personal war effort. Which is to say, get as many clicks as possible. We mention him again because this clip of the clown of […]

Beth Rigby asked Nigel Farage if anyone can trust a word he says and his furious response didn’t just speak volumes, it bellowed them
11 March 2026 @ 10:00 am
It’s always the ones who wang on about snowflakes who have the thinnest skin. And no-one, it would appear, has a thinner skin than Nigel Farage. We say this after the Reform UK leader was out and about on Tuesday when Sky News correspondent Beth Rigby asked him about the inconsistencies which run through Reform […]
