Join me on GB News where I will be lying about what Andy Burnham said, pretending to give a shit about pensioners and definitely not mentioning any £5m gifts, illegal donations or police investigations.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

ONCE AGAIN: Donald Trump did NOT foil a UK terror plot. A farmer called 999 and British cops rolled up and thwarted the planned attack. Then Trump announced he’d been watching them “for a long time,” that “we got them.” LIED! FAKE NEWS!

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

In 2025, Trump promised: $5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via “tariff dividend”; $1000 checks via the “savings” from expiring ACA subsidies. Did you get any of those checks? He’s not even acting like they are in the mail. Are you seeing a pattern, yet?
A picture of Trump holding a check that says: MAGA $5000” There is a dialogue balloon that says: “Will they fall for this lie again…” and the text at the bottom of the page says, “Trump Promises $5000 ‘Dividend’ to Every U.S. Adult if Republicans Win the Midterms.”

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

I guess Suella simply forgot that May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunak all became PM without standing as the Tory Party leader in a general election. Perhaps it's a little harder to explain why she forgot that she too attempted to become de facto PM in precisely the same way when Johnson resigned.

I have many issues with Keir Starmer. But his response to Nigel Farage in the House of Commons today was dignified, firm and quietly powerful. It exposed Farage for the shallow and heartless opportunist he is. Could we please see much more like this from the government.
