Shooting a woman at point blank range, simply for driving away is bad enough. The most powerful people on Earth justifying it is simply next level.

Rather than do his f*cking job or go to parliament, Farage will do a podcast during PMQs because he thinks he’ll have no right of reply in PMQs, despite politicians always asking questions. Always disingenuous grifting clown.
Rather than sit in the Commons and be abused by a failing Prime Minister without any right of reply, I will join Times Radio live from 12pm to give my analysis.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

The Daily Mail: a daily drag on the nation’s sanity, dignity and prosperity. Rocking back and forward in the corner shouting that Brexit was a win and improving on our relationship with the EU is a BeTRaYaL of all the special things it cannot name. Subverting failure. How very dare we.
Daily Mail
Diehard remainers like
Sir Keir have never accepted Britain's decision to leave the
EU and have been determined to subvert it. But reopening old wounds will surely backfire. This betrayal will end any hope of a Labour revival.

Reformer Josephine Butler (1828-1906, b. Northumberland), died on this day 1906. Arguably most effective campaigner for women’s rights of her time. She ended coverture (whereby woman’s legal rights were subsumed by her husband’s), criminalised child prostitution and human trafficking.

God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism. Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch. So on brand. Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you. (iPaper)
Picture of a Farage Football shirt with the dodgy ‘made in Britain’ logo

Headline: Reform UK merchandise does not have permission for its 'Made in Britain' logo

Extracts;

Reform UK has been using a "Made in Britain" logo on a range of promotional football shirts without permission from either ofthe two UK "Made in Britain" trademark schemes, Thei Paper has found.
The shirts sold by Nigel Farage's party range in price from £39 to £359, with funds going to Reform UK. Three styles have been released as merchandise, including a recently launched black and gold shirt signed by Farage himself. They are prominently stamped with the official-looking logo… 


It is strikingly similar to the logos connected to MadeinBritain.co and the registered trademark that belongs to MadeinBrtain.org, which were both set up with the aim of protecting British manufacturing.
Both organisations require companies to pass an audit in order to be accredited and gain permission to use their logo. Use of the trademark from MadeinBritain.org, a not-for-profit organisation, is stricter and a licence fee of at least S195 must be paid annually.
Misleading a customer to believe an item has a level of accreditation is potentially a criminal offence.
A spokesperson for Reform UK said: "The logo displayed was materially different and simply denotes that this product is made in the UK”

The main supplier for Reform's shirts does manufacture them in the
UK, The i Paper understands.
One of Reform's
"Original Edi-
tion" tops purchased by The i Paper featured an address for a Leicester-based manufacturer.
Upon visiting the site, the address was not a factory but a small office where one person works.
A spokesperson for Reform said:
"Each and every Reform FC shirt is made in the UK.”
