@supertanskiii@PolitlcsUK Idea for a program: A detective series based in Clacton called Farage. Bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if necessary… I mean, he’s not a criminal, but he’ll take £5 million if he thinks it’s necessary. This could put Clacton on the map!
The world is going mad, nothing seems to make sense these days. At times like this, I consider the matrix has likely broken down again. Meanwhile this farce of an election in Clacton reminds me of that classic election episode in BlackAdder, a fantasy with more factual accuracy than The Odyssey.
Andrew Marr: " The Commons rules are very clear and they forbid face coverings "
Count Binface: " Well the Commons rules are very clear about what you can do with donations , but that seems to have got all murky so why can't I see how the line can get tested ? "

🔴 @AndyBurnhamGM on BBC today:
“I think Britain has been on the wrong path for 40 years.”
👍 It started with de-industrialisation, bus deregulation, and the privatisation of life’s essentials.
👏 We need to… get the basics back under public control so that people can afford their rent, their energy bills, etc.
🙌 He wants Labour to “change and once again [be] the party that people in this borough knew… I don’t blame anybody who has gone away and voted for other parties. I want them to regain their trust… I want Labour solidly to become a working class community.”
At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…
Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.
Taylor: The day that I decided to quit that administration was the day when a mentor of mine from capitol hill had died. His name was John McCain. The flags were at half staff around the country, and the president was trying to call us in Australia on the other side of the world, to say, not put out a statement in honor of John McCain, but to say, raise the flags back up. I don't care if you agreed with John McCain or disagreed. It didn't matter like Bob Mueller, he served this country in uniform. He was a sitting united States senator. He deserved to be honored with the flags at half staff—for the president of the United States to be so petty, so small and petty, to tell us to raise the flags back up in an act of active dishonor, tells you everything you need to know about that man and his lack of integrity and character.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot,
"Let us say to our British friends"
"If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties"
"They will be be met with open arms"
Sounds like a plan. Who's in?
It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon.
What a time to be alive.
