A question to start your day: How many years does it take a Parliamentary Standards Inquiry to work out whether Farage's donations broke the rules? Seriously. Two? Five? Ten? What can possibly delay them this long? In the real world, it would have been sorted in days.

Give Piddington its independence. They can sort out their own health care, roads, schools, power, water supply, sewage etc etc. Only those with a passport to be allowed out. Seems OK to me. Like Brexit, I'm sure they've thought it all through and have plans in place. Go, Piddington!

How Ed Sheeran is worth any more than the bloke who plays the banjo at the end of Brighton Pier is astonishing. The fact that he's apparently worth hundreds of millions is frankly depressing.

According to a column in the Times, gangs of masked vigilantes blocking roads have demands which "represent a consensus view across the country". This is very patently utter bollocks. Daniel Thomas, the organiser, is a far-right racist thug. His views are not in any way mainstream.
Should anyone wonder that groups of angry white men in balaclavas have now started occupying Dover and blockading coaches sent to ship more and more men into this utterly negligent system? It’s astonishing it hasn’t happened sooner. I don’t mean I want to see gangs of masked bricklayers marauding around ports. I don’t. But I do think that if you have spent three years allowing masked Gaza activists to take over the streets because police are too scared to stop them, and five years blocking policies such as Rwanda that would actually stop the boats, you cannot start hyperventilating the moment working-class British men take to the streets non-violently, as in Dover if not Portsmouth, to make their feelings known.

The non-violence is obviously critical. This was not a riot, as we saw in 2024. It was not a campaign of harassment. It did not target random people. And unlike the Gaza marches or “stop oil” stunts, its demands represent a consensus view across the country and relate to something under the government’s direct control. They amount to: “Can the government please do what it promised and stop ferry-loads of undocumented foreign men arriving on our beaches to fill up regional hotels and roam around town centres?” They might reasonably also ask for the Home Office to stop handing out asylum to the thousands who falsely claim it while visiting on student or work visas.

So the latest royal parasite off the production line's going to Eton. State education's not good enough for him. 5 years at Eton will cost £325,000 but he'll get to mix with the 'elite'. Meanwhile, commoners, espec pensioners, can't afford to heat their homes... #RoyalFarce #NotMyKing #RepublicNow

A spineless response from the government to hundreds of thugs disrupting life and too scared to show their faces. Not one arrest. However, there's still a crack-down on god-fearing pensioners trying to stop a genocide and holding cardboard signs. #UKLabour values: you know they make sense.
