That could, of course, change if M5S’s share of the vote fell to a level similar to Lega’s (unlikely) or if the centre-right chose to bring Futuro Nazionale into a future coalition (God help us).

A bit reluctant to say this but it currently seems more acute on the left. Although Salvini is a longstanding useful idiot of Putin, his coalition partners simply ignore him on Ukraine. Conte, on the other hand, would be more difficult to disregard in a hypothetical centre-left coalition.

Makes you wonder who were the bright sparks that appointed this clown to a seemingly authoratitive role on the world stage.

Guardando la televisione italiana, non c’è una cosa più fastidiosa della presenza di Travaglio con il suo sorriso compiacente, mentre sputa fuori l’ultima propaganda russa a seguito dell’ultima strage di civili ucraini.

The taking-down of the Ukrainian flag from town halls by Reform-run councils (Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, etc) should leave no doubt about whose side these delightful people are on.

The wonder is that this didn’t come out sooner but I guess she didn’t have time to share her hypocritical views on 🇺🇦 - much too busy picking up awards from Italian town halls run by a mixture of fellow travellers, extremists and pompous morons.

Why on earth does this BBC piece on Burnham telling an interviewer the UK security services confirmed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum require a response from a pro Brexit pressure group? It's literally our Prime Minister telling us about election security. It's nothing to do with them.
The prime minister told The Rest is Politics podcast that upon arriving in No 10, he had asked about possible Russian interference in the 2016 vote, adding: "I've had the clear answer that, yes, there was."

"I think we've been too much on the back foot on that actually and we haven't informed people sufficiently about the extent to which people are seeking to disrupt the political process from overseas," he added.

Burnham did not provide further details about the type or extent of Moscow's activity during the Brexit referendum.

Britain Unbound, a pro-Brexit campaign group, said Burnham's comments were "another crude attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the decision that the British people made in 2016".

It said that foreign interference in UK elections was "obviously unacceptable" but added: "There is no good reason to believe that Russian intervention influenced the outcome of the referendum in 2016.

You mentioned the Berlusconi interview he did with Santoro (another of 🇷🇺’s useful idiots, btw). Berlusconi had pretty much hit the bottom (gov’t brought down ‘cause it couldn’t handle the sovereign debt crisis + definitively convicted for tax evasion) and yet he ran rings round those two clowns.

Always thought this guy was a phony from the first time I saw him on TV in 2001. Although I loathed Berlusconi, I was never very keen on Travaglio’s role as self-appointed scourge of Berlusconi.

There is nothing more tiresome on Italian TV than the habitual sight of Travaglio’s self-satisfied smile, as he rolls out the latest Russian propaganda following the latest massacre of Ukrainian civilians.

Something that sounds made up but is true is that the first money I ever got for my writing was from Jeffrey Archer, & when I met him just over ten years later he asked for it back.

I’m increasingly of the view that this nonsense should just be ignored rather than magnified by our comments, particularly when the author happens to be Andrew Pierce. How this characterless thicko managed to pursue a seemingly successful career in journalism is a mystery.

Supported by the DUP but not by the UUP, which admittedly has long since lost its role as Ulster’s main unionist party. Think it’s fair to say that since the DUP was founded, it’s been wrong about literally everything.

They say the Golden Age of Cricket was the late Victorian / Edwardian period, when cricket really was the top sport in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and W.G. Grace had a Beatle-like fame. Whether that includes test cricket is more debatable, of course, because 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, 🇦🇺 and 🇿🇦 were then the only test-playing nations.

I remember ppl saying in the 2019 general election that they’d much rather go for a pint with Johnson rather than Corbyn. Not surprising but a more pertinent question might have been: “Which of those two would genuinely like to go for a pint with you?”.

A bit reluctant to say nice things about Ken Livingstone but I seem to recall that as leader of the GLC in the early 1980s, he arranged for the LSO or some other prestigious orchestra to do a free concert in the canteen at Ford Dagenham.

Mosley was a nice class of person + went to a posh school (Winchester). Farage, by contrast, is a parvenu - dad was in trade + went to a tier 2 public school (Dulwich). Still both c*nts, though.

The real issue is not compliance with the Highway Code but rather the simple fact that a significant number of cyclists in London ride aggressively and dangerously. I say that as a cyclist (but, fortunately, not in London).

Yes, it’s a mystery. Watched + enjoyed more than once but it doesn’t stand up even to the most cursory analysis. Mind you, disagree about Paltrow, although not convinced by her English accent. As for the confidante, oh dear: not sure what any actor could have done with such tenth-rate screenwriting.
