I never have liked Jenrick, but at least there was a time when he was just a slimeball and not the evil bastard that he's morphed into.

A gap of 90 years, yet we still don't understand that playing with fire will burn us quite badly. But then Hegseth already bears the marks of fascism on his body.

In 1972 this was the sort of gig you could go to at a Pub in suburban London. Incredible.

I have formed a patriotic vigilante force in the village. We are The Gussage Patriot Guard. Naturally we disguise our identity. At the snap of a custard cream we can be mobilised to: Quote the bible Urinate in public Set up funding pages Eat spicy foods Spit Chant in cockney. 🇬🇧

Do listen! As we all know Reform UK have a ‘shadow’ cabinet. For example Zia Yusuf is their Shadow Home Secretary.😂 This chap talking at the recent Reform conference is their Shadow Royal Majesty, King of The UK. Nah Nah Yeah Nah… 🙄

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

Tim Montgomerie pointed out that I'm a thin-skinned crybaby who can't stand criticism, so I suspended him from Reform to prove that he was right.

I've only just found out about this, so a belated RIP to a talented musician and a part of one of my favourite West Coast groups. I hope those Pearly Gates were opened up for you.

My guide to when a by-election should be held: CALL AN ELECTION: When a grifting gobshite wants to distract attention from his dodgy finances. DON’T CALL AN ELECTION: When Robert Jenrick, Danny Kruger, Andrew Rosindell and Suella Braverman fancy changing parties.

ZELENSKYY: Some say with modern technology we're returning Russia to the Middle Ages. Some remember Napoleon, when Moscow burned. But our main goal is not Russia without gasoline, but Ukraine without Russia, without war, with Europe, and Ukraine and Europe without Moscow threat.

GB News loses £22m, taking their total losses to over £130m. Except it's not a 'loss', it's an investment by Paul Marshall in providing a propaganda service to platform right wing grifters, gobshites, conspiracy nutters and contrarian fuckwits.

Nigel Farage has declared that he is against working from home. It's not a surprise given he is never in Clacton.

Extraordinary story in Poland. Yet more sabotage. Culpability not yet established, but all eyes will be on Russia. Poland has already arrested a total of 55 people only recently for illegal activities on Russia’s behalf. Hybrid warfare becoming part of European life. www.ft.com/content/485f...

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
