…like Fratton that defined its club. A down to earth cauldron in amongst terraced streets.
Can we build a time machine back to the 2010s and just make them build a bigger Chicken Run? It’s all they ever needed to do.
Got to feel for West Ham fans suffering that place. 14/14
Imagine living in the small and resentful world that has this idea and pursues this news story. Get a life Mail on Sunday! Can you imagine a US paper running a story like this… of a US state dept senior person taking a train from Penn to DC? They truly hate the north…
"He doesn't live here…. what right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"
Richard Tice talking about Thailand based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, who gave me £5 million.

The reality is Reform are absolutely terrified of any investigation of their finances. Nigel Farage’s crazy Clacton stunt. The private investigators. The attacks on the NCA. This isn’t normal politics. It’s something much deeper.
The UK media has been accused of giving Nigel Farage an easy ride. Now social media influencers are fact-checking his anti-immigration rhetoric.
Al Jazeera's @AntoineSpeaker spoke to the influencers challenging the far right.
Now listen here Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf.
You have a very big mouth. However could you answer one question. Not even Reform UK want you to stand as an MP.

Why pay £200k to just sit on the sidelines spouting bullshit.

Some master strategist.

Tice says he & Farage have both filed claims in the High Court against the National Crime Agency.
There are no records in the High Court filing system to support this claim (that I can see).
Like Peter Oborne, Carole Cadwalladr's bravery and pilgrim soul mark her out as a rarity: A journalist who defies the pack in an era when journalists hunt in packs and pat each other on the bat in packs. Groupthink is hard to stand up to.
