Here’s Ann Widdecombe in five minutes on seizing the day, religion, converting to Catholicism, the afterlife, her favourite poet, holding true to her political views, pantomime, Strictly, trying to do the right thing, and what sort of Prime Minister she’d have made. RIP.
My take on the soccer vs NFL discourse is that rugby is more explosively exciting and more technically fascinating than either. Even rugby league is. Want to watch great sport? Get into the French Top 14 next year.
Written in red on today’s @telegraph - how so many Englishmen married to Norwegians must be feeling today, with the World Cup match between England and Norway hurtling towards us tonight…. May the best team win….

After what Trump did after he lost the 2020 election - refusing to accept the results, lying about a “stolen” election, then trying to overthrow the election - if you don’t believe he’s currently attacking the 2026 midterms & will try to fuck with the midterms elections process, shame on you. If you don’t believe he’s going to use ICE & the military to intimidate people from voting, shame on you. If you don’t believe he’ll refuse to accept the results & scream “stolen election” again if the GOP loses in Nov, shame on you. And btw, if you don’t believe he’ll try to run again in 2028 and/or refuse to leave the White House in Jan, 2029, shame on you. Wake the fuck up.
I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.
Ahead of the England V Norway game, latest pod tells the story of two very different oil discoveries, what happened to same North Sea oil money, how the Norwegians invested it & the UK pissed it away.
It is an amazing story. Hard to believe actually.

CHARLES HAUGHEY: GLORY, GREED AND GUNS, my new biography of one of the most influential, divisive and fascinating figures in modern Irish history.
Drawing on decades of reporting, political analysis and personal observation, I examine Haughey's rise to power, the controversies that surrounded him, and the lasting impact he had on Irish politics and public life.
A story of ambition, charisma, power and contradiction, this is an account of a man who helped shape modern Ireland. Out 22 Oct 2026.
Pre-order now via the link in bio.
They knew about Corinthian columns when they built the WH. They chose the simpler Doric on purpose, because the WH is not supposed to be an ornate, gilded palace of a mad king.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think the President of the United States should be able to remember the name of a nation he’s been bombing the shit out of for five months.
I JOIN DONALD TRUMP IN CONDEMNING THE FOLLOWING NATIONS: THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF JAPAN, THE JAPANESE REPUBLIC OF ISLAM, THE UNITED FEDERATION OF NARNIA, THE REFLECTING POOL NATION OF ALGAE-RIA, AND THE DONALD TRUMP REPUBLIC OF DUMBODIA & TACOSTAN.
What an affront to democracy it is that a serious politician with integrity and a genuine sense of public service like @CountBinface should have to face a joke opponent like @Nigel_Farage who is simply playing it for laughs.
The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.
