Sir (good grief) Simon Clarke was born in 1984, so I am not sure where his memories of the seventies comes from

Mr Thompson is not an ‘activist’, he is a terrorist. And, as it happens, a racist and a fascist

One thing non- journalists do appreciate is that a lot of journalists are really terrible, (Marie not included of course), and that the amount they are paid is seemingly in inverse proportion to their talent. Call it the Hartley-Brewer paradox.

Yep. Even the credible threat of this would allow UEFA to stay with major organisational changes. The money for FIFA flows from UEFA and sadly it’s all about money

Why do we just have to do what others do? If the PM wants to run the country from Manchester, that’s fine, just because the Serbs don’t do it. Anyone really think the German seat of power is Bonn?

So they say the process began before he got the ‘gift’. If you think a windfall might be coming, you can easily start the process of buying a £1.2m house, because if the windfall doesn’t arrive, you can drop out. Except the windfall did come, didn’t it?

So it appears he bought 2 properties for 2m cash. Even with his grifts he was only taking home 500k per year. Unless he was living on beans he couldn’t have had the readies?

Can they have it both ways? Well yes, because the ‘journalists’ to whom they speak let them. Put him in front of Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou, see how far he gets

One thing that could be done, Stephen, is that the journalists in front of her say ‘prove it.’ But they don’t, do they? Like Farage she can say whatever bullshit she wants and so-called professionals acquiesce

I admire your optimism. Investigate water but rule out nationalisation. Stop bombing Gaza but here’s some bombs. Hit the ultra-wealthy, but don’t really. They are a shambles and this will turn out to be nothing

@iandunt.bsky.social @evanhd.bsky.social I used to listen to the beeb as the news channel of record. The Farage platform on TV yesterday was expected but today we have PM quoting Tice on Energy. He is a nobody from a fringe party. Defund the bbc, you are all a waste of space

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re the nonsensical Tory 'selling out the UK fishing industry'. There isn't one. 90% of UK fishing boats are foreign owned. The remainder can't move their live shellfish to the EU because of paperwork. Dolts, all of them

If they needed any proof that trying to be Reform loses to Reform, they should be looking at it now. If McSweeney is behind this cringing drift, he has to go.
