"Dear Diary, The police have condemned 'unfounded, malicious speculation' about the RAF Fairford suspects. Fortunately they said nothing about baccy-stained grifters spreading lies to incite anger in a desperate bid to stay relevant"

Farage isn’t some anonymous social media account. He is a MP and unfortunately one of Britain’s most prominent political figures. When he links a potential terrorist incident to small boats and immigration, millions of people hear it. When that claim turns out to be a lie, the msm should expose him

Farage is stoking it up, of course. It’s all such a convenient distraction from the many police investigations into him and the dirty money flowing into ReformUK plc.

Once we abolish the royal family, at least we'll be spared the royal soap opera leading the news bulletins instead of the big stories that really matter. They are an expensive nonsense we can well do without.

AI advocates say we have no right to stop innovation in the free market. Hogwash. We don’t allow corporations to come up with new nuclear weapons or varieties of cocaine or biological pathogens. We protect the public from certain kinds of innovation. We need guardrails on AI before it’s too late.

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025. Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1. Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year. How can anyone defend this?

Brighton has been truly parched, and meanwhile water infrastructure crumbles. In 37 years since privatisation, not one new major reservoir for England. In the 35 years before that, nearly 100 major reservoirs were created. The new PM must renationalise water as a matter of urgency.
