The problem of course is not the press. It is that Donald Trump should have been impeached and permanently banned from the White House after January 6.

Your regular reminder that Nigel Farage IS the establishment. There’s no-one more establishment than him. Public school, the city, career in politics, mates in all the right places, terrible dress sense.

The BBC has received criticism for their constant coverage of a minority right-wing Party in the UK. Their response, today, is to flood the news pages with multiple features. Labour have 403 MPs, the LibDems have 71 MPs, Reform have 8 MPs. This coverage is insane.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

Of course we know the two men who SHOULD have been jailed - Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage, for inciting the violence. And now they've done it again in Belfast. While we have a spineless government, and Burnham pledging to do what Farage wants, nothing will change. It will probably get worse.
