You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Russia demands to keep captured territory The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1645 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "On shelves now." The headline reads "RUSSIA DEMANDS TO KEEP CAPTURED TERRITORY" in bold white text on a red background. The cover features a photograph of Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting at a desk, speaking on the phone with a smirk. A speech bubble adds dialogue, with Putin saying, "Including the White House."

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

The House of Commons showing right now that British politics, on certain fundamentals, is in a far healthier place than in the US. No polarisation, on this at least a commonly accepted set of realities and truth, and near unanimity against tyrants and for freedom.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.
