Nigel Farage has resigned from a job he couldn’t be bothered to do because he was caught with his hand in the till. Now expects his boss to hire him again to clear his name.

The knife attack on Monday night in Belfast was a shocking act of violence, and the perpetrator must be brought to justice. In the following days, we have seen far-right actors exploiting this attack to sow division, target people of colour and incite violence. (1/6)

I love it when people say they are going to vote Reform because its "time for a change" or "to let someone else have a go". Which is like saying "I tried putting this fire out with water and it hasn't worked yet, so I'm going to try petrol instead".

Two-tier policing is real and ever-present. Black and Brown people experience it. Women experience it. Pro-Palestine and green protesters experience it. But the last people who would ever experience it are right-wing white men. They are the people with whom the police instinctively align.

Just because I paid £1.4m cash for a house in 2024, doesn’t mean I used the £5 million I got from a crypto billionaire at the same time. I could have used one of the many other huge gifts of cash I didn’t declare.

I’m a big believer in coincidences. Like that time I wasn’t going to be an MP, then a crypto billionaire gave me £5 million and by total coincidence I decided to become an MP who passionately supports tax breaks for crypto billionaires.
