If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.

This is good news. I have a horror neighbour who keeps owls in a cage and I’ve always hoped the many uncaged owls in the vicinity are on the case about this

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
The fabulous owl, Lady Jane Grey, with her handler, Pete, in Totnes, Devon, in 2016.

Erika Kirk visited Northern Ireland earlier this year to set up TPNI alongside Ian Paisley Jr. Organisers of riots in Belfast using loyalist language and tactics. NI being largely an afterthought in the Brexit debacle. The far right in England don’t want all out chaos on their own doorstep.

My gf has roped a load of churches into getting their members to collect a load of food that can then be distributed to those who need it across Belfast. Many are afraid to leave their houses, even to get food. People have been delivering food to strangers since this started.

Trouble is, his supporters are also desperate for a fight. It’s the only thing that makes them feel relevant. This has unleashed the worst: white supremacy now out and proud.

Trump purchased as much as $50,000 of stock in the parent company of UFC. Meanwhile, Trump has been heavily promoting a UFC event that will take place at the White House for his birthday. It's one of the worst conflicts of interest you could imagine.

Exploiting the death of a young man in order to incite violence this summer is repulsive but totally on brand. Actually, the jury heard that it was the the perpetrator’s lie, rather than the colour of his skin, which led to the terrible outcome. More in common Farage?

It’s interesting that they find respondents far to the left of their voting intention. And it makes total sense in the current political mess.
