Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Russia's Matryoshka disinformation campaign has shifted to the US elections, where it's making wild claims about random Democratic Party candidates. They've also started one of their jigsaws again, which is nearly complete. Not sure if it's a specific person, but at least my face isn't on the poo.
The image is a crude satirical illustration set against broad red and cream stripes that run down the background and continue across the floor.
On the left stands a shaggy grey donkey, facing the viewer, with large upright ears, a pale muzzle and several white stars across its chest.
On the right is a blonde woman wearing black glasses, a blue dress with puffed sleeves, a white apron and black high heels. She leans forward with one hand on her hip and holds an oversized wooden spoon in the other. The spoon is coated in a brown substance, which also appears smeared around her smiling mouth and chin.
A large pile of faeces sits between them in the foreground, surrounded by flies and rising green and yellow stink lines.
Three horizontal black bands mark missing sections of the reconstructed image: one across the upper ears and hair, a wider band across the donkey’s muzzle and the woman’s waist, and a narrow band near the bottom.
