In the 2008 US Presidential election, total election spending, by all parties and donors was $1.7bn. In 2026 so far, not even a Presidential election year, spending by billionaires ALONE has topped that. We obviously welcome the billionaire class's control of our political landscape...

News headline about megadonors pouring more than $1.7 billion into the 2026 elections; callout reads "The 50 biggest donors have contributed $1,775,999,110 during the 2026 midterm cycle so far" with a bar segmented 454M (blue), 1.07B (red), 248M (gray).

An absolute classic of the propaganecdote genre...

Red graphic defining "Propaganecdote (noun) {Propaganda + anecdote}" as "A story stripped of inconvenient facts to serve a political narrative," showing a tweet downplaying a 15-year jail sentence for disabling an ULEZ camera, with a reader-added note explaining the man actually used a homemade bomb that exploded near a child's bedroom and caused damage up to 100m away.

At some point, "anti-fascist" became an insult in certain circles. Odd, given how many of those circles' grandparents spent 1939 to 1945 being exactly that. A T-shirt, for anyone keeping the family tradition going. buff.ly/no6sp7q

Man outside on an English street in a dark navy T-shirt with the words 'I’m anti-fascist, just like our grandparents'. There is a small WWII helmet underneath the text in case anyone doesn't get the reference.

We're all looking forward to Nigel correcting the record shortly. Given his proclivity for 'asking questions', I'm sure he'll be relieved now that he knows the answer is "all UK nationals, in their 20s, from London", and he'll want to share that with his followers, right?
