People have been calling Rishi Sunak a Mickey Mouse prime minister, and not because he Disney know what he’s doing – at least, not just because of that. One day after the Mickey Mouse degrees announcement, we have degrees of Mickey Mouse… ( credit @aaronchown) pic.twitter.com/aRwRJ7WFyN — Rt Hon Sir Peter Mannion MP (@PeterMannionMP) May 30, 2024 Aaron Chown‘s spectacular eye for the right angle caught the attention of – well – everybody.

Over on r/AskUK, tyler-the-theatre asked – “What has gotten better in the UK in the last 10 years?” Apart from a lot of grammar pedants who don’t know that ‘gotten’ was exported to America with the Pilgrim Fathers and was used by Shakespeare, people largely had some great suggestions. We enjoyed these – including the sarcastic ones. Especially the sarcastic ones. 1. DangerShart Via YouTube, Via Pixabay 2. Working from Home. royalblue1982 3.

Vincent Price was a one-of-a-kind. The film star, who was most closely associated with the horror genre, had an instantly recognisable voice, a distinctive set of facial expressions, and a disarming charm in interviews. Here’s a perfect demonstration of his wonderful ability to laugh at himself. @dr_sugar_ #celebrity #laugh #airport #charlieandthechocolatefactory#christopherlee ♬ original sound – Dr Sugar TikTok users loved the trip down memory lane. I remember sneaking downstairs on a sat night, when my parents were out, watching his movies and racing back in upstairs scared to death after l ..read more

Although you could be forgiven for thinking that the reaction to Donald Trump‘s guilty verdict was universal hilarity and relief, for some it has been a terrible blow. Just so you know, there’s a lot of NSFW language in the following clips. This was the scene outside the court as the news broke. WTF??? Trump supporters outside of the courthouse in NYC are FREAKING OUT over Trump being found GUILTY on all felony charges against him. It’s a cult. These people are unwell. pic.twitter.com/LlWTPy1ipL — Harry Sisson (@harryjsisson) May 30, 2024 We’re going to go out on a limb and say that the shou ..read more

If you’re still reeling from the news about Donald Trump’s conviction – or just still laughing – you might want to step away from that particular vein of entertainment to give your brain a break. Thankfully, we’ve got 25 great tweets from the past seven days that should hit the sweet spot. We hope you enjoy them. 1. My nephew had an upset stomach for a few days. Once he felt better, he said that when he grew up he would invent a medication that would make diarrhea instantly gone and he’d call it gone-a-rhea and we grownups were like nahhh buddy that name is kinda already taken. — (@Guiness_Pi ..read more

Apart from certain remote Amazon tribes and people in a coma, we suspect the entire world now knows that Donald Trump has been found guilty of 34 counts of fraudulently altering business expenses. Wikipedia moves fast! pic.twitter.com/7MXFU3jmvV — Occupy Democrats (@OccupyDemocrats) May 30, 2024 The verdict was unanimous, despite Trump’s legal team having thoroughly employed their veto on jurors. It only takes ONE juror to hang a jury. Juror #2 answered that Trump’s Truth Social was their only source of news and not even THAT person voted Not Guilty on even ONE charge. Please save your rigg ..read more

Although the Conservatives’ string of ill-thought-out policies and campaign appearances and Labour’s internal wranglings have hogged the headlines, they aren’t the only parties in town. The Liberal Democrats, headed by Sir Ed Davey, have announced plans to provide a mental health specialist for every school and to clean up the waterways. Since the pandemic, children facing mental health problems are on the rise. That's why the Lib Dems are calling for a mental health professional in all schools. It's time to treat mental health with the same respect that we do physical. pic.twitter.com/zxRnDQ ..read more

When Donald Trump goes head-to-head with Joe Biden in a presidential election rematch in November, he will do it as a convicted felon. pic.twitter.com/A6PhfV2P7p — Dark Brandon (@VoteDarkBrandon) May 30, 2024 He has been found guilty of all 34 counts of fraud, relating to falsifying business records, making him the first US President, sitting or otherwise, to be convicted of a crime. Call me old fashioned, but I don't think convicted felons should be president. — Bret Devereaux (@BretDevereaux) May 30, 2024 It was a cover-up of an attempted cover-up after he paid $130,000 in hush money to ..read more

The Conservatives’ policies in the election campaign so far have clearly not been created to appeal to the 18-25 demographic, with National Service for 18-year-olds and a tax cut for pensioners grabbing the headlines. It’s a good job they haven’t launched an attack on university courses they consider to be less than valuable. Oh! NEW: If elected, Rishi Sunak will shut down "Mickey mouse" university courses studied by 1 in 8 students to fund 100k new apprenticeships [@Telegraph] — Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) May 28, 2024 People had a fair idea of which courses might be targeted.
