I used an anonymous email account to send Stamp an enticing message, suggesting I had contact with a lawyer acting for some else he's suing.

(I don't).

Smart people don't click random links. Stamp is not very smart.

Truss didn't discover this terrible and civilisation threatening phenomenon until after she had left the office of the Prime Minister and was looking for things to do and an audience to applaud her

@domdyer70 The purpose may be to demoralise prosecution witnesses ahead of them giving testimony.

Dorries complains about "forged documents", predicts "prison sentences" for those responsible.

[Richard Bartholomew @Barthsnotes]

Dorries takes a strong line on police being taken in by a liar and not treating people equally.

[Richard Bartholomew @Barthsnotes]

Dorries accuses the police of fixating on one possible motive for a crime at the expense of other possibilities.

A former Conservative election candidate has been suspended after he was seemingly filmed discussing the cost of hiring contract killers and offering to “broker” the services of a far-right activist with alleged paramilitary links.

[Press Gazette @pressgazette]

ITV said it "stands by its journalism" and the Reform programme was "produced in compliance with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, relevant laws, and its broadcast is in the public interest...

"Should the police get in touch we would fully cooperate.”

@Halia0__ The numbers don't match the shape, this must be some Lovecraftian horror of impossible angles.

@Franklin_Graham @SpeakerJohnson Any views on this? https://t.co/wQouiou5Ai

JD Vance reacts to Vivek Ramaswamy's ad using Amy Acton's abusive and estranged mother:

'Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not my concern... I have to admit that I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining about that advertisement'

@SuisseWitch @whitefruitloop @Talkwithsisib And since when did Terry Wogan have an English accent? Not to mention the wrong BBC logo there.

@Miss_Snuffy These people are grotesque.

[Karam Bales @karamballes]

Just a few claims of the other speakers at this event

Vaccines cause cancer
Covid was engineered by Israel
Covid vaccines are a crime against humanity
The government is using folic acid to increase cancer rates
Lockdowns were a conspiracy by the Chinese communist party

[Dick King-Smith HQ @DickKingSmith]

The King-Smith family were surprised to find this article in yesterday's @MetroUK
We are delighted that adorable piglet Tom has been rescued, however, whilst we love E.B White's excellent tale Charlotte's Web, Babe was based on Dick King-Smith's The Sheep-Pig. Back to journalism school for you, dear author!

NEW POST: Liz Truss: A Note on the Publisher https://t.co/ahSFVCiY6S

[Richard Bartholomew @Barthsnotes]

I'm sure BBC Radio 4 Extra's demographic includes a lot of people who won't be able to manage online-only access. This is a poor show, at odds with the public service remit https://t.co/nRQQ5XwzEX

[Christian Nightmares @ChristnNitemare]

Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas was founded by pastor John Hagee, a staunch Trump supporter who has said that “gay pride caused Hurricane Katrina and that God sent Hitler to create Israel.”

[Richard Bartholomew @Barthsnotes]

Here's the Liz Truss volume, out next week! As noted by @jessicaelgot, the story of her premiership is billed as a "short book".

[Richard Bartholomew @Barthsnotes]

Mike Fairclough's Free Speech Press imprint, list of "Books and Authors". Together at last: Neil Oliver, Mike Graham, James Melville, Alan Miller, Liz Truss and... George Orwell. Fairclough himself is the author of "Sovereignty: John Mappin and The Restoration of Sanity"

[Richard Bartholomew @Barthsnotes]

The George Orwell book is a special edition of 1984, graced with a new "prologue" by Neil Oliver.
