If brexit is the answer, WTF was the question?

The bells of Notre Dame recently restored to their former glory gives me an excuse to post this masterful rendition of the iconic song from the movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Are Saudis now allowed to go smash up Cambridge? That’s how it works right?

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

So Farage ran away from parliament after he was shamed by the PM.

Where did he run away to? To Oswald's in Mayfair, a private members club.

When will people wake up. He doesn’t represent you. He doesn’t understand you. He’s not like you. He’s using you.

Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.

It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.

A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.

At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.

Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.

On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

No, of course not.

Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

Yes, of course he was.

He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.

His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.

Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.

This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.

And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.

END RANT.

Farage is a cancer on our country. He must never be allowed to govern, ever.

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

NO he won’t be “out in just over 20 years” - that’s the minimum term before he can apply for parole

N0 he didn’t get a lighter sentence because of the knife - he has deliberately cut out the bit that says he got a LONGER sentence

If he was still a solicitor he’d get struck off

A £300 tax on your UK summer holiday does sound like a lot...

So let’s take a look at this tax, put it in a wider context, and find out where that £300 figure came from.👍🏻

You have to admire the dexterity with which Mr Zahawi has picked up the vocabulary of the New Right. He of course was only 11 when he arrived as a refugee, but presumably had he been five years older, he too would've been of 'fighting age'.

This is exactly the kind of rebuttal to disinformation that needs to happen every day of the week 💥🇬🇧

[David @Zero_4]

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?”

Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has one of the few labs in the world which can study Ebola virus.

In March 2025 RFK Jr had it shut down.

We now have a huge Ebola outbreak on our hands.

What a foolish move

“Leaving Europe is the worst thing I have experienced in my whole time in business.”

“Johnson and Gove should be in jail. As a chairman I am obliged to tell the truth to my shareholders.”

“If I lie it’s a criminal offence. Politicians lie to the public — their shareholders — and get away with it.”

“All that bullshit about the 350 million quid going to the NHS after Brexit.”

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote:

"Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true."

It's not true, it's utter garbage.

I'll go through facts and figures. /1

[Emma 💛💙🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺 @MonkEmma]

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳

Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits??

That's the implication.

After all, this "started in April", right?

Wrong!

Extraordinary allegations from @benhabib6 !!
Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment for Farage to take over as party leader of Reform UK and stand in Clacton.

[Cal Cowen @calculus52]

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!

About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!

It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?
