It is mindblowing that the Home Secretary is not making absolutely clear that these scumbag thugs will be locked up and charged with every offence possible. They put brave RNLI volunteers at risk, and they are clearly becoming more brazen. Lock them up and send a signal, before a tragedy occurs.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

I know you're making a jokey point Pip but quite frankly, if there was one scene guaranteed to send the not-we turning over to another channel in their droves, that was it. I've been watching for 54 years and even I hadn't got a fucking clue what was going on.

This is Nigel Farage’s equivalent of Trump’s Jan 6th “army” It’s a clear strategy: say something highly incendiary, knowing full well scores of thugs will react exactly the way you want them to. You can then claim to “speak for the people” and our media will amplify it every fucking time.

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.
