It’s incredible to watch every Western government yell simultaneously about the rise of the "far-right" in their country…

US, Germany, UK, France, etc.

All the left has to do is stop mass immigration, and yet they refuse to. Tells you a lot.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has reached an incredible milestone, spending more than 5,000 Martian days exploring Mars.

It landed in August 2012 and is still going strong 14 years later.

Here are some incredible pictures from the surface of our future home, Mars.

Andy Burnham and the Labour Party seem unable to grasp how a modern economy works. They like the big state and high spending. They don't get that an economy is about free people acting, not a government telling.

Burnham's statement to parliament today set out only a different style of government activism, still financed by the same overburdened private sector, by “robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul”.

Labour can't grasp the problems. So their solutions will inevitably be mistaken. And this is why the Burnham government will fail just as his predecessor's did.

It is easy to assume that the people who govern us are evil, but a lot of them are just thick.

@andyburnham £2 fares today, £5 taxes tomorrow. Same old socialist trap.

This will stick. Andy Burnham is the David Brent of politics.

Someone earning £150,000 will pay over 10 times as much income tax as someone on the average salary while earning less than four times as much, notes @Telegraph

That worker earning £150,000 a year will pay the same amount of income tax in just four years as an average earner will during their entire working life, an analysis by wealth management firm Rathbones has found.

Nimesh Shah, of accountancy firm Blick Rothenberg, said: “There is a disincentive to work & progress & develop to earn more.

“Put bluntly, this is how our tax system works.”

It really is extraordinary the extent to which the EU has alienated the great powers and its own flanking powers. Every time I make this point, I have EUphiles commenting angrily about how that's everybody else's fault. But there comes a stage where if everybody thinks you're an unpleasant person to deal with you have to start wondering whether it really is their fault afterall.

The EU, of course, still hasn't reached that stage. Thus, having: (1) alienated Turkey, (2) lost Britain from the Union and being only one change of government away from very frosty relations, (3) presided over a total breakdown of relations with Russia, (4) having increasingly fractious relations with Serbia and Switzerland, (5) breaking relations with Georgia because they didn't like an election result there, (6) having increasingly strained relations with the US, and (7) now infuriating the Chinese by trying to pressure them using trade leverage (see the Chinese view of its own history as to why this is so tone deaf) — they still just blame everybody else for being in the wrong. They also wonder why they are losing economic competitiveness. Oh, I don't know, could it be because you cut off cheap energy from Russia, showed no flexibility with Britain, are consistently entering trade squabbles with China, and can't reach a deal with the US? The right will still claim it's green energy policies. Lolz!!

Until they get past the arrogance, hubris and conceit that blinds them, the downward trend will continue.

For the next two days, we will pause our satire and share clips celebrating Ann Widdecombe’s greatest moments. Ann was a fearless champion of free speech, and her words feel more relevant than ever.

Please join us in paying tribute to her.

The left will celebrate your death.

They will mock your family.

They are evil.

I'm enjoying the cold wave of embarrassed fear that has swept the British political commentariat since Burnham's Reddit AMA. Everyone knows he is going to be a total disaster the moment he lands in office, but nobody on the left can break cover to attack him.

[Merryn Somerset Webb @MerrynSW]

To repeat. The UK is not ungovernable. It is badly governed. These are different things.

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

Just 100 years ago, England was the greatest empire the world had ever seen.

A few generations later, they are a deindustrialized welfare zone unable to stop third-world men from invading on rubber boats.

Decline happens fast.
Weak leaders and suicidal empathy.
