Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

Just before the 2010 election, I heard an interview with a BNP guy by Stephen Nolan on 5Live. Nolan started the interview by saying he wouldn't be asking about immigration but the other BNP policies. BNP guy was floored and babbled nonsense for 10 minutes. The BBC should try the tactic with Farage.

More should do this. Politicians, organisations, members of the public The over representation of Reform UK reaction to issues, by not just the BBC, but many media outlets, is in plain sight. But the BBC praises itself for impartiality and balance. It’s paid for by public license fees.

@danneidle.bsky.social I have a theory that taxing everyone equally using bands that focus on the top end of their earnings would be a fairer tax system. Eg top 1pct is taxed at xpct, top 5pct at ypct etc. maybe repeat for CGT. Any merit?

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?
A picture of the apartment building in Tehran where Hossein Salami, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, was killed. The building shows a hole in the side and scorch marks where a bomb drone has apparently hit. The window of the apartment shows smoke from flames. Almost no other building is damaged, not even the windows broken. Photo credit to Alpha Defense.

I have never seen such a political and personal pile-on than with what is happening to Labour and Starmer. They've made mistakes, for me, only two, but are being ripped to pieces. Who's responsible? A toxic MSM mostly but a dumbed-down public doesn't help. We're in a dark place with no way out 😒

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat. And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned." That's Brexit.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
