Populists and demagogues have the same traits worldwide, the biggest being mendacity, closely followed by narcissism. Johnson makes Trump look like an angel sometimes in this respect. Johnson has no self-awareness and an ego the size of, well, Russia

Was that the same security services you dumped to visit ‘ex’ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services?

Zelenskyy on Fox News: "If President Trump wants to change the leader in Ukraine, he has to know that only our people can change ... [but] now we have attacks each day. We're speaking about thousands of drones, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles. How can people vote?"

In a historic escalation, the US has imposed direct sanctions on the International Criminal Court as an institution. Condemning the move, ICC President Tomoko Akane warned that targeting global justice threatens sovereign states and international law, vowing the court will remain undeterred.

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

Kemi is once again confronted by her arch-enemy, ANY DETAILS AT ALL. thecritic.co.uk/kane...
Unfortunately, like, I don’t know, the results of a charity fundraiser for the Kurds, the Tory claims for what they’re proposing grew a little in the telling. Newspapers everywhere were calling it a British “Iron Dome”, referring to Israel’s comprehensive – and expensive – system.

Nick Ferrari of LBC, a man who is to political weakness what Godzilla is to a Tokyo suburb, was doubtful that it would be possible to build a missile defence network that would defend the whole UK. “Well, because it’s mobile, it can,” Badenoch said, faltering slightly.

The LBC man closed in. “Is it moved by sea? By land? By air?”

“I do know that it would move,” the Conservative leader said. “I think certainly by sea.” She tried to explain. “It’s not one thing that’s sitting in one place.”

Ferrari wouldn’t let go. “How many units are there?” If the Daily Star’s barrister had been this good, Archer’s political career might have ended in 1987.

“How many units?” Badenoch repeated. “I can’t…” She resorted to

If we have understood nothing else, the policies of the Tories have completely failed us. We need a new approach now, not more of the same tired responses. Just join up with Reform and have done with it. At least we all know where we are. Vote for the past with the Tories.

Farage honks his mouth off about ongoing police investigations, when told not to. His Welsh leader is in prison for taking bribes from Russia. He whips up riots. He’s in bed with Trump, foreign money, crooks and crypto billionaires…. A massive problem with national security is Farage himself.

'We have a massive problem with national security': Farage challenged on Fairford speculation
Reform UK leader told his social media followers the five men arrested after an RAF Fairford situation were "Iranian nationals". Sky's Rob Powell spoke to him after it was confirmed the men arrested are British nationals.

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.
