The joke isn't the bin. The joke is populists not being able to deal with people laughing at them.

I do find the condescension towards Burnham from much of the British political establishment both striking and funny. He’s actually one of the most experienced incoming PMs we’ve had, about which much is known. You’d think all he’d ever done was run a parish council.

One day a brave investigative journo will look in to the funding of #Leave & how the only beneficiaries of #Brexit were a load of dodgy foreign financiers, the likes of #Putin and of course the multi millionaire/ up to his arms in sh1t man of the people #Farage

Welcome to foreign policy driven by the worldview of tthe larger unions, and the soft left portion of the Labour membership, over the needs of the country.

And in other news folks, bears defecate in the woods. Politicians plotting? Whatever next?

Fuck me even Habib is nailing Farage good and proper. Montgomery looks like has a severe case of buyers’ regret combined with verbal diarrhoea. He knows he’s fucked up and is swan diving into a vat of shit.

Story by me @ManuMidolo @GeorgeGreenwood @venetiamenzies follows months of work trying to establish how Fiona Cottrell, aristocrat who dated Prince Charles but more recently described herself as a "retired stylist" and lives in a cottage, was able to donate the funds.

Big exclusive from the brilliant @Gabriel_Pogrund tonight….

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

EXCL: George Cottrell was routinely introduced as Nigel Farage’s chief of staff before the 2024 election despite denials he had any official role @BenQuinn75 reveals.

It comes after @Gabriel_Pogrund & co reported that Cottrell had given out a business card with his name on and an official email address for Farage.

Both challenge claims he is purely a personal friend of the Reform UK leader, who therefore didn't need to report the support he had received from him.

[Gabriel Pogrund @Gabriel_Pogrund]

NEW: @christiancalgie reveals that George Cottrell began secretly funding Farage as early as 2021 — spending money on videos about cross-Channel border crossings

Farage’s position is similar gifts in the year prior this election were not political

EXCL: George Cottrell went for drinks with Tommy Robinson and other far-right activists shortly after his release from prison

Heather Cox Richardson on democratic socialism: "People like Zohran Mamdani and some of the other people who describe themselves as democratic socialists are literally to the right of the Republicans in 1956, who supported an upper tax bracket of 92%, who wanted to expand social security."

Do you know why I would never run for office?

I tell people it’s because I wear “god, you’re stupid” on my face but the real reason is that I have lived a life that is infinitely exploitable by the opposition.

I mean I did Dead Tour FFS

[Bruce McD @brucemcd23]

A word about Isabel Oakeshott, paid a six figure salary to pump out Reform propaganda and defend Richard Tice

And of course Isabel knows Posh George well…after all ,as the @OneFinanceGuy says, she was with him when the FBI arrested him

[Oliver Kamm @OliverKamm]

Readers of @PrivateEyeNews will note its accurate reference today to Robert Jenrick, wheeled out to defend Nigel Farage, and his meeting in 2020 with Richard Desmond. I wrote about the case the Eye refers to; it’s really quite jaw-dropping. https://t.co/9GRrL3FNG3
