Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.
Farage would have to accept the police protection.
He’d have to accept that they go to all meetings, log all contacts, know what he’s up to ..
Maybe our Nige wouldn’t like that ..?
Exclusive: Andy Burnham is being urged by business leaders to rejoin the European Union as new economic modelling reveals it could add at least £92bn to the economy and boost growth by at least 3.6 per cent - helping to fund the changes he is promising.
The study, commissioned by campaign group Best for Britain and carried out by Frontier Economics, a consultancy chaired by Dame Sharon White, the former chair of John Lewis, models the key benefits of EU membership and finds the prize dwarfs every other option on the table.
The report suggests that the UK would recover up to 90 per cent of Brexit’s economic hit to UK GDP - which the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has calculated at minus 4 per cent by 2030 - far eclipsing value of a customs union or all post-Brexit trade deals combined.
Crucially for a would-be Prime Minister who built his name as the champion of the North, the gains would be felt most strongly - outside London - in Britain’s former industrial and manufacturing heartlands in the East and West Midlands, Yorkshire and the North - due to an “outsized” boost to trade in goods.

Of 2500 media stories about the June heatwave in the UK, 72% didn’t mention climate change. 95% didn’t mention net zero.

I’m in Paris for my final meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.
I’m proud to have worked with @EmmanuelMacron to bring 25 nations together, united in support of Ukraine and European security.
Today, we stand stronger than ever.
Our message remains clear: Ukraine's security is our security.
🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.
EXCL: Keir Starmer has become first UK PM to be presented with Légion d’honneur by French president, in recognition of his work on security of Europe.
Emmanuel Macron awarded the historic honour to Starmer for his l'ship in setting up coalition of the willing at a critical moment for the continent in early 2025.
Only other British PM to receive a similar award – at a higher level, the Grand-Croix of the Légion d’honneur – was Winston Churchill in 1958 in recognition of his leadership during the second world war.

It's been revealed that Nigel Farage turned down taxpayer-funded security last year, including a bodyguard, a car, and a trained driver.
He had already been getting taxpayer-funded security, but believed it had been downgraded.
The package would have given him the same level of security as Kemi Badenoch and some senior Cabinet ministers.
The police ask Reform not to speculate. So Reform attack them. The family ask. So they start to attack them. Close friends ask. They in turn get attacked. Journalists report this. Then they get attacked too. This is how desperate Reform now are to deflect from Farage and sleaze.
Hi @andyburnham the UK has tens of millions of uncovered parking spaces: from supermarket car parks and retail parks to workplaces and other paved areas.
Why not make better use of the land we have already covered in concrete and tarmac by rolling out solar canopies over parking spaces?
A large-scale programme could potentially generate a significant share of our electricity demand, while providing shade for vehicles, supporting EV charging, reducing pressure on farmland and bringing energy generation closer to communities.
It's a no brainer. Just needs a little leadership 👍
Reported while female.
Didn’t work for a right-wing newspaper.
Dismissed & ridiculed by men who did.
Gaslit for a decade.
Sued through the courts.
But I’m not the loser here.
This decade of denial has caused Britain irreparable harm.
So sickening
