Nevermind the fact that Nigel Farage didn't bother to declare his £384,000 in bribes.
The real question is why the hell are our politicians allowed to be bought?

US has given up its place as the leader of the free world. Traded an enviable standard of life to demand even more, at the global expense of everybody else.
I'll bet a £1 to a penny MAGA lives ain't getting any better while they fuck everything up.
Good luck with St Peter.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Crazy to say it, but it's almost like we'd have been better off sticking with Europe.
Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing.
Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

Folk used to say, "If you've nothing to hide, why hide your data?"
Many of those being targeted by ICE had nothing to hide. Renee Nicole Good had nothing to hide. You too may think you have nothing to hide. At least for now.
Textbook fascism before your very eyes.

ICE has recently bought the capability of monitoring the location histories of entire neighborhoods worth of phones. The data is likely harvested from apps that sell your data, which filters up through data brokers and eventually to companies that sell to ICE:

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

It's not his business he may be unable to pass on - it's the £550mn worth of farmland he bought to avoid inheritance tax. Which he runs at a £5mn/yr profit, to be clear.
That could attract a £120mn in tax. Ouch. But then since he's worth £20bn, IT'LL ONLY COST 0.6% OF HIS FORTUNE

Some people do my head in.
This arse is one of them.
Why TF would we care about his business…? Did he care about all the SMEs bankrupted by Brexit? Does he feel any anxiety or shame about just how much that stupid idea has cost our country and many of us personally.
No.
He can absolutely do one.

If a young man [of fighting age], unable to speak basic english, is able to make the perilous crossing of the Channel in a small boat in mid winter, take your job, romance your girlfriend and buy your dream home from under you, you need to think about upgrading your basic skills.

There are reasons wealthy individuals want Reform in power, and those reasons do not include concern for the common Brit.
Harborne doesn't live here; as an immigrant he's not fretting about immigration, flags or the EU; he simply expects to profit, at the expense of the typical Reform voter.

I detest Nick Robinson with some passion. He takes every single point, good or bad and attacks it for whatever reason he can think of.
"Why are you borrowing, that's bad. Why aren't you borrowing to promote growth? Why raise taxes? Why U-turn on raising unpopular taxes?"
A bully and a twat.

Similarly, the claim "putting pineapple on pizza does not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that putting pineapple on pizza causes autism.
The CDC website now disseminates disinformation about vaccines, claiming erroneously that infant vaccines might cause autism, when we know conclusively that they do not. It is difficult to overstate just how dangerous this is. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...
