Business nut who opposes expensive projects that don't deliver - HS2! Also wants more help for the disadvantaged and compassion for asylum seekers.

Nigel Farage comes out fighting against Count Binface ahead of the Clacton by-election, releasing his smash-hit single, “Ain’t No Binface”, surely destined for No. 1 on the hit parade.

Why does the broadcast media devote half their news bulletins on a horrible stabbing in Belfast? Because the attacker was a Sudanese asylum seeker. Result serious rioting in Belfast last night. Surprise, surprise! The attack was clearly awful but we need a sense of proportion.

@Peston This amazing letter from Sarah Munby to Staunton has no smart objectives. No dates, no numbers, just some vague aspirations that cannot be measured. Wish I had been set objectives like that!

#BBC Netflix subscription has increased by nearly 60% this year. Our bleeding heart govt says BBC licence fee rise, after 2 year freeze, is too high at 9%. They are worried about impact on inflation. Really? Couldn’t be that they want to throttle one of our few world beaters?

Absolutely shocking. Tory peer Michelle Moan “of Mayfair” and the useless never used medical kit we paid her for…..

Any students of populism should study this passage well - uttered by our Home Secretary in 2023. It divides “ normal people” from …

#wakeuptomoney I like George Goldberg but his statement about it is 300% more carbon to import from Qatar is wildly misleading. That is transport and liquefying only. The vast majority of carbon release is from BURNING it! Most of our imported gas comes from Norway by pipeline!

Lovely email from Lloyds Bank this morning:

Your car insurance renewal price: £1123.38

Last year's total: £524.35 - 114% increase!!!
Insurance taken out 3 years ago when car new. No claims! Presumably they are leaving the market?

It’s again being reported the Conservatives will campaign to leave the ECHR at the next election if Rwanda flights are blocked

Please watch this 2 min video to understand the SHOCKING implications for all of us of that utter insanity

#BibbyStockholm Jenrick keeps saying migrants are in 4 Star hotels. Really? Precious’s few, I guess. He also says oil workers have stayed on this barge. BUT it has been modified for DOUBLE their numbers! Oil workers were in single cabins - not now. Why don’t journalists probe?

#DailyMail PMs house was empty and they knocked on the door. Very British! Reasonable behaviour for a “tiny, self-obsessed bunch of zealots who disrupt everyday life with impunity”. Who’s life did they disrupt other than the police? Tiny? Just worried about the human race!

#Greenpeace show how ineffective the ‘Stop Oil’ campaign is. They’ve annoyed the right target, drawn attention to a futile policy and in the process amused us, except Jeremy Clarkson, without frustrating us drivers or those enjoying their sport. ‘Stop Oil’ please note and learn!

@KarlTurnerMP @VeronikaSimons BoJo’s column for Daily Mail dropped today. This time he damns ULEZ which he backed when Mayor - see video! These rambling essays are awful. He’s said to get £20k weekly for this dross. £1k a minute to write! Never cleared this with Cabinet Office but burns Sue Gray for same!

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Johnny Mercer pays his wife £45,000 a year to be a secretary.

Employing your spouse/relative was supposed to be banned in 2017. But they don’t care.

Not only does he employ her, he MASSIVELY overpays her.

If you want to see the Government fire her give this a RT.

[Philip @phiw]

@JaneyGodley @Knighthawkken Murray is tenacious, brave and unstoppable. You can be articulate without the need for giggles and jokes. He has a dry, sardonic humour anyway. Prefer BoJo?! Billie Jean King called him a genius last week for his support of women in sport.

#BoJo Boris’s Daily Mail column plunges to new Rwanda depths. Why can’t we get Johnson done?

[Philip @phiw]

#BorisMail “..lefties .. awash with criticism: these people had more money than sense .. we shouldn’t waste quantities of taxpayer cash trying to rescue them.” In fact they were in a badly designed, untested sub. Boris always sees things through his own political lens. Bless him!

[Philip @phiw]

#BorisHonoursList Do you know who Kelly Jo Dodge is? Here’s a clue. She received an OBE yesterday.
Why? She was Boris’s long time hairdresser. Imagine if she had succeeded in taming that mop. Now Lady Dodge?
He certainly adds to the gaiety of the nation. Much needed!

#bbctoday BBC’s excitement this morning was palpable. An EXCLUSIVE interview with Philip S by Amol. Two stunning takeaways gave it top billing. “My career is over” and the cameramen noticing Philip’s hands were shaking. BBC ‘Today’ is now run by ‘Hello’ Magazine. So all is well!
