Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

Called the dentist today only to be greeted by an AI receptionist. The end is nigh.

@NikoOmilana step forward. Your time has come.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Clarification: Sky News was not at the property at 7.41am. As has already been acknowledged, and as shown in the footage from 10.19am, Sky News was outside a property where Mr Farage was registered to vote at the last election. Sky News did not interact with Mr Farage’s daughter.

On a single occasion, we approached the property without a camera operator, identified ourselves as Sky News, and the adult occupant chose not to engage. We were seeking to contact Mr Farage to ask questions about the gift he accepted from Mr Cottrell. This is a well-established and routine journalistic practice when reporting on matters of legitimate public interest.

The footage clearly demonstrates that Sky News did not “hound” or pursue Mr Farage’s daughter. At no stage did we seek to speak to anyone other than Mr Farage in connection with this story.

It's like when Prigozhin marched on Moscow... except with an Avanti west coast service instead of tanks

@ShahrarAli If you had bothered to read the details of the case, you would never have thought to use him as an example to make a political point. You’ve truly reached rock bottom.

Starmer thinks making McSweeney the sacrificial lamb will help him. He’s more clueless than I thought. There’s blood in the water and the PLP smell it…

The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni.

Is that fair?

This is beyond a joke

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

BREAKING:

The OBR has published its economic and fiscal outlook BEFORE the Budget. It's unprecedented. Treasury will be furious

[Shayan Zafar @shayan_zafar1]

What’s the point, pre announced or leaked 95% of it.

[Karen Resorcé @hr_unhinged]

I noticed one employee wearing noise-canceling headphones.

Not earbuds.

The big, cushioned over-ear kind that create a tiny personal universe.

I asked if everything was alright.

He said yes, he’s just trying to focus.

I told him we value focus, but isolation can misread as resistance to collaboration.

He said he’s literally sitting at his desk doing his job.

I told him we track human presence, not just output.

He asked how presence is measured.

I said imperfectly, which is why it's so important.

Then I logged “avoiding spontaneous culture building opportunities” in his engagement profile.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

This is a great move by President Trump and the US congress - and congratulations to Senator @LindseyGrahamSC. There is only one way to stop Putin’s vicious attacks on Ukraine, and that is massively to increase the pressure on Putin.

You seriously could not make this up

[Shayan Zafar @shayan_zafar1]

The attack on innocent worshippers is deplorable and un Islamic. What is worse is people using such a vile act to further a political narrative. There is well and truly no class left in politics.
