This video is excellent at highlighting the grift of Brand over the years from left-wing millionaire anti-capitalist (eh?!) to self-help guru to right-wing nutjob :

Which was the real Russell Brand?
Frankly, who cares.
He's a rapist, chameleon cunt.
Good evening Clapham Junction!
My belated 50th/ Bonfire Night/ Remembrance Sunday/ Pre Xmas/ Late Summer get together aka an excuse to invite people out for beer.

Amazing result for John Higgins as he batters Chang Bingyu 9-2 to reach the International Championship final.
Bit of both in terms of the Wizard being great and Chang not getting close to the form he's shown all week.
51 years old and into another big ranking final. Immense.
Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.
In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.
But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.
Not a fan of the Immigration reform, though better than what was to occur under Starmer, who tried too hard to appease Reform/ Tories.
Surprised and disappointed Burnham is allowing such, to lesser degree, though.
Whether someone has ILR should never be linked to their income.
Louise Haigh did well at PMQs
Wouldn't know was her first time.
Tories stuck record re Benefits.
It should be tackled humanely, which is the Labour way (until Keir Starmer), as per answers to the same questions over last 2 weeks.
What will it mean for the UK and the world outside America that Donald Trump is now surrounded and hemmed in by a Congress that opposes him and his major policies and by world leaders who mostly feel the same?
More specifically, will it embolden Andy Burnham, the leaders of the EU, Canada, Japan and their allies to cooperate with the Democrats in the Senate and the House to do what it takes to end Trump’s war against Iran, to bring Putin to the negotiating table, to reduce prosperity-destroying tariffs, to contain the extreme risks of artificial intelligence and in general to temper Trump’s reckless adventurism?
The paralysis of the rest of the planet in the face of Trump’s unilateralism must surely be at an end.
His moral authority, his claim to lead the free world, is much diminished. That is not in doubt now the American legislature is decisively set against him, and after American voters have spoken unambiguously that they reject most of what he has done in office that has a direct impact not only them but on us. America’s soaring gasoline price, that magnified his unpopularity, is just one narrow proxy of the wider harm he wreaked, to security and stability.
Weakened too is his power. We will see whether he and a Democrat Congress can work together constructively. The presidential veto, and their control over important appointments and money mean they have to try to get along. But even if the result is stalemate, that is almost certainly better for global prosperity than what we’ve been living through.
Much has been torn down overnight. What is striking is how many people have contacted me with gasps of relief and hope that I last recall when the Berlin Wall was demolished (I am not exaggerating - Trump insinuated his way into our collective subconscious, mostly as a bringer of a humming anxiety).
There are risks that a wounded Trump will attempt to lash out in ways that deflect from his humiliation. And given his relative autonomy in foreign affairs, the consequences may not be benign.
But even so, today is about opportunity, not fear.
Reform would scrap the pointless, burdensome Making Tax Digital.
Not quite enough to get my vote but if they also banned fireworks, limited people to one normal poppy only, shot people who need to grow a moustache for charity and stopped being utter vermin I could consider.
