Exactly what “standards” are those, Robert? You collude with pornographers over property deals. You take dodgy donations. You whore for racists and christofascists for personal gain. You betray your political allies, friends and your country to sniff at power. You have no standards. You’re poison.

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

Many people have legitimate concerns about things. The moment you choose to express them by joining a violent mob of vigilantes, there's no longer anything legitimate about you, your concerns, or the unprincipled grifters cynically exploiting them.

In an amazing scientific breakthrough, experts have detected small traces of a spine in the White House Press Pool, an organism previously thought totally invertebrate. The vestigial spine was discovered when reporters stood up to a preposterous orange bully.

Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

Home now after a long, very hot day, but one with a lot of laughter, a celebration of a life well lived, if all too briefly. It wasn't a normal funeral, but then Sean was an abnormally excellent human being.

Instructions for REFORM UK voters: 1. Write ‘X’ for the candidates you don’t like. It sends a clear message that you want them cancelled. 2. Leave the REFORM box empty so it's nice and WHITE. 3. Don’t eat the pencil. Oh, alright, if you insist.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Even if it is broke, don’t try to fix it. You’ll only make it worse. If it doesn’t get better by itself, put off doing anything about it for as long as you can, then call a professional. It’s for the best, believe me.

Their promises of more jobs, more trade, more power for Britain have proved a con, Michael Heseltine writes as the Brexit vote 10th anniversary approaches. Never have so few done so much damage to so many with so little ability to execute what they lied about. Their scandalously false prospectus has turned to dust and ashes. Naturally, they blame everyone but themselves.
They are the guilty men and should...

Who the hell does Farage think he is “addressing the nation”? And why the hell does he think he has the right to trample over a family’s grief and turn their tragedy into the Farage show? What a truly despicable, deeply racist little man. There can be no pride in a country where he has power.

I have a student son Henry Nowak’s age & I can’t imagine what it took for his family to respond outside court with the grace they did, asking that their son’s death not be used for division and hate. That Reform & Restore chose to throw that back in their faces makes me feel sick.

Anyone using this horrible moment as an excuse to incite racial hatred and division is an appalling and desperate bigot. It’s a real shame and a disgrace that one of those people is the richest man in the world.

People like Jeff Bezos need to understand we’re not demanding that billionaires pay more tax because we hate them; we’re demanding it because we want the system to be fairer. Although we do in fact hate them, but that’s beside the point.

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order. Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not. For there can be no greater test for any constitution.
