Well. Now that we have resoundingly lost the war in Iran, can we get back to talking about the Epstein files?

🔴 SCOOP: Farage doesn't seem to want to answer questions about his money. So I went looking - and found that the Reform leader's personal company is in breach of UK company law democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-n...

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

BREAKING: Ukrainian drones have once again struck the Yaroslavl oil refinery — one of Russia’s largest energy facilities. This marks the third Ukrainian strike on the refinery in just the past two weeks, and the fifth attack since the start of the year.

I just read an article that referred to musicians and artists as ‘content creators’ and people like me who enjoy music and art as ‘consumers’. Gross. Clearly that author has never been to a concert or art museum. You cannot consume an experience.

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Reform’s racism, corruption and howling uselessness are being exposed every day. And every day, our mainstream media pretty much universally ignores all of it. If they want to give airtime to Reform for their many attention-seeking press conferences, do the same for their fuck-ups. For balance.

Dynamic pricing: the technology that could deliver massive harm and even famine to the UK
The Independent newspaper reported this yesterday: Supermarkets could introduce “dynamic pricing”, allowing them to increase the cost of goods when demand is high, the Bank of England has warned. Consumers are already used to such pricing methods when they use Amazon, Uber or buy tickets for flights or concerts. But it could...
