Trump’s a Russian asset, Farage’s party is a racist enterprise, Putin wanted Brexit & if you tried to make a list of all the UK politicians & pundits who’ve backed all three, you’d be here for hours.

Just rewatching footage of the Pink Floyd Pulse tour at Earls Court. It was one of the best live performances I've ever seen from a band. All without having to watch it through other people's mobile phones.

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

On BBC Radio 4's Moral Maze tonight: “Slavery - Right or Wrong?” Some people say it’s morally wrong. On the other hand, it makes a tonne of money. On the panel: Edward Colston, King Leopold II, Tommy Robinson and Matt Goodwin. Join us as we discuss one of the great moral dilemmas of the day.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

All I wanted was a technically competent vaguely left-leaning government who would undo the worst of what the Tories did, and change us back to a welcoming, no longer hate-ridden society.

The result is huge. Vast in its consequences. Orban was the inspiration to all those who came after him. He served as Putin's puppet, undermining Europe from within and Ukraine from without. He funded a vast network of fascists around the world. It's all vulnerable now, or falling apart entirely.

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

The BBC did not create the impression that Trump orchestrated January 6th. Trump himself created that impression, through his speeches on the day and in advance. He was indicted by Congress for it and only escaped a criminal trial by... becoming president again.

As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians. Ta.
"It's Thatcherism on steroids - this is incredible, cutting and slashing public expenditure, doing all the things he's done….. That's leadership... He is amazing."
Nigel Farage
"[Milei] is the 'chainsaw-wielding, bushy-sideburned wild man of Hayekian free-market thinking'. He hailed Milei for giving Argentina 'the economic medicine it needs' through drastic spending cuts."
Boris Johnson
"Britain needs shock therapy. A Milei-style approach would mean radical surgery. First: stop the bleeding. Slash wasteful public spending. Shut down unproductive agencies and quangos... We need to aim for a primary
[surplus."
Jacob Rees-Mogg
"Milei is the template."
Kemi Badenoch
"Javier Milei rightly tells the elite [at the] awful WEF the facts of life - socialism and state intervention tends to make people poorer."

I’ve heard it say that Nigel Farage has no less than seventeen nipples spread over his chest and back. I’m, of course, not saying it’s true, but we have no evidence saying otherwise. It could be true, we just don’t know. That’s how this works, right?

A political party, that's topping the polls, lauding someone who called for human beings to be burned to death should be a moment for national self-reflection. This is not who we are nor who we should become. Reform UK are a plague on our national humanity. We must never permit them to govern.
