Farage received a £5Million bribe to stand for parliament in Clacton so that a crypto billionaire would personally benefit from him being in power. And Farage didn’t declare it. Then he lied about it. Corrupt AF. Just go straight to a criminal investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your interview with Kevin Rowland. I respect his candidness.

Spinal Tap crashes the Great Canadian Party to teach "Bitch School"
I was a little disappointed about the band not using its new-fangled guitar amps, which are purported to go to infinity.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

Musk’s X is intensifying the radicalisation of the UK right. They loudly, uncritically support Trump. Johnson compares Labour with Harold Shipman. Jenrick rushes to use the Magdeburg tragedy for political ends. They’re Musk’s useful idiots: envoys of hatred and intolerance. Incapable of integrity.

This is sort of fascinating because if you were to turn on pretty much any talk radio station or pick up any tabloid, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the inverse.

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him. None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!

FBI Director Chris Wray resigns following Trump nomination of Patel
FBI Director Chris Wray will step down from his post early next year, the bureau said on Wednesday, after Republican President-elect Donald Trump signaled his intent to fire the veteran official and replace him with firebrand Kash Patel.

Vividly recall many on so-called progressive wing of politics being hyper-critical of Blair. We finished up with something much worse post-2010. Same pattern manifesting itself re: Starmer. This time, that risks a political outcome even worse post-2029.

"We've got a pretty biased media", Alastair Campbell says on Question Time, about the Labour Government's short honeymoon period. Such a simple and obvious point, but how often do we ever hear it said? The panel moved on quickly.

Instead, what U.S. corporate media is doing right now is running up to a man who has clearly just lit a house on fire with a still-burning tiki torch and put a microphone in his face as the reporter solemnly intones, A LOT OF HOUSES ARE BEING BURNED DOWN RIGHT NOW, LET'S ASK THIS MAN IF HE KNOWS WHY

Musk’s tweeting behaviour mapped. Notice both the hours and the intensity. It’s clearly an addiction bundled in with spiralling narcissism. Will be interesting to see if there is a crash at some point.
