Interference is easy to prove or disprove if, unlike Boris Johnson, you can be bothered to investigate, influence almost impossible. The average Brexit voter would not be able to tell you which lies - or liars - they found most persuasive. Many of them still claim they didn't fall for any of them.

Much of the coverage today is absolutely nuts. The facts are on Wikipedia. The full Intelligence and Security Committee (Russia) Report is online. Tory media & politicians once again banking on their average consumer/voter being too daft/busy/blinkered to notice...

Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

Fascinated by the Jack Smith/Eric Schmitt thing because I can’t grasp how desperate you would need to be to ‘own’ an opponent to end up in such a humiliating mess. I ‘think’ it’s because Trump loyalists have been so grossly dishonest that they have to convince themselves that the other lot are too.

It never stops being important that, no matter what the subject, politicians like Farage, Trump & Rubio are entirely untethered from the most basic requirements of honest discourse. They might turn out to be telling the truth sometimes but only ever in the spirit of stopped clocks.

The first and last time Nigel Farage dared to face James O’Brien has gone viral again, and it’s still a glorious own
It’s easy to forget that Nigel Farage was once (technically) a colleague of James O’Brien at LBC, before he left the station in 2020 having made inflammatory remarks about Black Lives Matter protester...

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.

Bike lanes lower traffic congestion, lower pollution, provide cost effective travel, provide safer roads, & studies show that people who walk and bike stop at local shops/restaurants more often, boosting revenue for local businesses. It’s not surprising Duffy doesn’t know that.
