SPREAD THIS AROUND; the only thing that will stop him trying this is if he knows we’ve all seen it coming. Farage is going to stage his own failed assassination. Spread the word.

… pledging to resume the fight as soon as he recovers (before buggering off to the USA forever, of course). Third, all jokes at his expense suddenly become Very Poor Taste and the ridicule he’s suffering ends. Fourthly, it retroactively justifies his “I needed those millions for security” claim.

So he’s only got one way out, and I’ve just realised what it’s going to be: FAKE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. I am NOT KIDDING. First of all, he steals all his moves from the Trump playbook. Second, it gets him out the race on wounded health grounds… He leaves the field a martyred hero…

GUYS - I’ve just realised what Farage is going to do… The thing is he now has NO WAY to proceed which doesn’t humiliate him. If he wins, he is, as Rachel Reeves put it, The Man Who Spent His Summer Arguing With A Bin. If he bails, he’s The Man Who Fled From A Bin. And if he LOSES…

I’m thoroughly enjoying just how much Nigel Farage’s millions of pounds in gifts “for his security” have left him feeling in such a state of insecurity.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Just a reminder, as some question religious influence in UK politics. There are only two major countries in the world that guarantee clergy to hold seats in parliament. The United Kingdom and Iran. The UK automatically seats 26 Bishops in the House Of Lords.

People sometimes praise Farage for taking lots of questions from the press. That seems irrelevant when he regularly responds to reasonable questions in insulting and Trump-like terms, often attacking individual journalists and their outlets. Collectively, the lobby shouldn’t stand for it.

This Friday, MPs will vote on the assisted dying Bill. It all comes down to this - Tag your MP and ask them to vote yes. If it passes, the Bill continues its journey in the House of Lords - if not, it falls. This could be our last chance to secure a compassionate law.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Those accusing the ICC of being “political” do not fully understand the law. Post WWII, we in “the West” stipulated a set of shared rules that we believed applied to everyone - enemies, allies and ourselves. If an ally breaches those rules, the rules have not suddenly become “political” overnight.
