John Coltrane born this day. 1936. Words like “genius”, “icon” “inspirational” and “influential” are nowadays bandied around like confetti, often to people who are quite the opposite; not so with Trane. He is all those things. And more. m.youtube.com/watch?v=HT_Z...

Today's pointless result in Clacton won't stop the Met Police’s investigation into donations to Rectum UK, Nigel #FarageRiots friendship with a convicted fraudster, or the parliamentary investigation into why he didn’t register the dodgy £5m gift. #GriftersGrift

This is surely curtains for Farage's political career. I don't think there's any coming back from it. I hope not, at any rate. Looks like there could be a strong basis for a criminal case as well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My guide to when a by-election should be held: CALL AN ELECTION: When a grifting gobshite wants to distract attention from his dodgy finances. DON’T CALL AN ELECTION: When Robert Jenrick, Danny Kruger, Andrew Rosindell and Suella Braverman fancy changing parties.

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
