‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged.’

Simon Heffer gives zero stars to a ‘preposterous’ rant by a crank conspiracy theorist who for a few days was once PM, @trussliz. https://t.co/65btXZzSea

I'm no fan of Spoons but look who's kicking off outside.
The Supreme Leader of Flag Shaggers - Ryan Bridge
The Gosport Ghoul - Sarah White
The Harry Potter Nonce Bonnet - As seen in Herne Bay on Saturday.
And many many more...
As endorsed by Reform's George Madgwick.

In years of genocide
hope came from the young

In Serbia
2 yrs of youth-led protest -integrity, unity, perseverance- brought change

Today that hope is a rainbow
its far end in Brazil

May it shine
wherever wounds run deep
and the young are fighting the old

Humanity will prevail

🚨🇬🇧 The far-right in the UK is struggling to understand what racial slurs are, so here’s a handy guide.

Test 1: Was it ever the name of a violent racist pastime? Brit: no. Aussie: no. P-word: "P-word-bashing" was a named, recognised activity in 1970s–80s Britain. Ask whether anyone ever went Aussie-bashing.

Test 2: Do they call themselves that? Australians say "Aussie" about themselves, proudly. Brits say "Brit." Ask how many Pakistanis put "P-word" on their shopfront.

Test 3: Is it even accurate? The word was never really an abbreviation. It was shouted at Bangladeshis, Indians, Sri Lankans, anyone brown. An abbreviation that doesn't care which country you're from isn't an abbreviation. It's a description of skin.

I hope this helps our far-right friends understand how to avoid getting arrested in the UK.

Lula didn’t just beat Bolsonaro:

He beat Trump, Netanyahu/Israel, Meta interference, algorithms, the right-wing wave taking Latin America, and the elite billionaire class...

If Brasil just did it, America can too.

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book.

Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.

🚨Wetherspoons have released a statement, it's pretty clear... ONLY PROTESTORS WEREN'T ALLOWED IN. The Star was then forced to close after Ryan Bridge arrived with a flash mob and police were called. It remains closed today because of the pony tailed ponce.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a Nigel Farage press conference quite this empty

Don't see any comments from the usual suspects about the election results in Serbia and Brazil. Probably doesn't fit in with the world views (sic) of @TiceRichard, @GoodwinMJ, @Nigel_Farage or any other @ReformUKScot / @reformparty_uk dullard...

Congratulations to Lula on his extraordinary reelection victory in the Brazilian presidential election.

Lula has stood up for Brazilian workers & democracy — and will continue to do so in the next four years.
