Brexit, the Sitcom Mr Brexit no longer enjoys life as Europe’s most divorced man. Rooting for his phone amongst the discarded cans he texts his ex wife to tell her he’s willing to move back in with her but there will have to be changes. She will have to change. He stares at the phone waiting.

Don’t take them seriously. Trust me, Telegraph readers love delays. It proves to their satisfaction that England is one world and non-England quite another. It’s a bit of intrepid explorer make-believe while off to the sunlounger. And provides materialfor some xenophobic banter in the queue.

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

Farage was - once again - lying when he said counter terrorism police had delayed his speech because of threats. West Midlands police confirm they gave no such advice.

There was a point last year when I really thought the anti-establishment grift had cut through permanently. It all just seems desperate and hollow now. Tired old grifter should be out to pasture. He has nothing left.

Absolutely hilarious that it was neither Milliband nor Mahmood appointed as Chancellor. Weeks of speculation by our free and fearless press. Well I suppose they’ve got a 24 hour news cycle to fill.

I will accept Nigel Farage's request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

One of the Wigan cllrs who posed with the Jimmy Savile poster in Wigan (which @bylinetimes.bsky.social first reported) has admitted the picture was real after all. After ignoring our calls and emails, and Reform figures cast doubt on it. She admitted this after Makerfield's polls closed last night.

I am deeply sorry for any distress this situation has caused and I am incredibly disappointed in my own naivety
A Reform councillor from Wigan has apologised for causing offensive after she posed with a poster bearing an “utterly indefensible” political insult referencing serial paedophile Jimmy Savile.

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases. Supported by Nigel Farage. Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

It doesn’t look like Trump and Netanyahu considered our partners in the Gulf one single bit when they declared war on Iran. A war they have been planning for weeks whilst not giving anyone notice to withdraw their citizens from those areas! This is on them and we shouldn’t be aiding them now.

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.
