@LBC @lewis_goodall Great letter in the Economist republished in the Week ‘In praise of boring Keir’. Being PM isn’t about providing fodder for journalists.

Nigel Farage is a demagogue who has little regard for facts or the truth. Journalists covering him have no such excuse https://t.co/yKfcJNxpfk

It’s objectively fucking terrifying that the Vice President of the United isn’t just furthering an extremist far right fallacy on the global stage, but openly interfering in British politics, all while weaponising the murder of a young man. His poor family.

This is NOT normal.

The fact Oakeshott can’t even spell his name correctly shows all the care she has for him or his family outside of them being a political tool.

Farage's name appears about 40 times in the Epstein files. Mostly in emails between Epstein and Bannon discussing Farage's role in Bannon's scheme to create a European fascist network.

Attorney General Lord Hermer has made it clear that No one ever got rich betting against Keir Starmer.
From taking on dangerous gangs as DPP to delivering a historic 2024 election victory, Starmer has consistently defied the critics.
Instead of Westminster point-scoring, the Prime Minister remains focused on the mandate he was given. cutting NHS waiting lists, supporting families with the cost of living, and building a stronger, more stable Britain.
True leadership doesn’t walk away when things get tough it delivers.

~ Attorney General Lord Hermer / Press Association (June 2026)

Robin Williams once said, "Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like NASCAR drivers, then we know who owns them."

Loudest applause at Retford (which most of media would have down as nailed on Reformland) when I said a few misguided young thugs would be sitting in prison reflecting on how their lives have changed forever while Farage and Musk and the media oligarchs will be busy doing what multi millionaires do on a weekend, not giving a toss about Henry Novak, his family, or the people they whipped into a frenzy.

@JuliaHB1 Posts like this tell people not just that they won't be imprisoned because of their sexuality but that they won't be overlooked for roles because if it

Strange isn't how Elon Musk told everyone to mark this post, then he deleted it.

Must have been a mistake.

Let me repost it for him.

I await Nigel Farage calling for “pure, cold, rage?” .

Trump has received new orders from Putin.

The US is scrapping plans to supply Tomahawk cruise missiles to Germany due to concerns that Russia might view the deployment as an escalation – Politico.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

@TiceRichard Cat check: They pleaded guilty

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Pathetic little man. Helps fuel race riots to take the heat off the limited media probing into his crypto financing. Avoids anything but tame interviews which allow him to spout his slogans. Takes sides with a fascist South African tech bro also whipping up racial hatred against the elected PM of UK, the country he claims to love and wants to lead. Demands apologies for word slips on the BBC (which made him). Yet to apologise for the Brexit which has made British people financially worse off (not him though)

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

@JDVance Henry's family have asked that his murder isn't exploited by cretins like you James

[Cathy Newman @cathynewman]

In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. https://t.co/SSHiAI3Umc

The M6 is 1,219,680 ft long; it's easier building things when they're on the floor.

One of the two men charged with public order offences outside the police station in Southampton has been charged with possession of a knife.
Imagine being such a prick that you go to protest knife crime by carrying a concealed knife. And why would you if it was “peaceful”?
