A disastrous consequence of a culture reserving its greatest rewards for commentators with the most pungently expressed opinions is how hard it becomes for them to climb down. By rights, *everybody* writing or speaking in the national interest should be horrified & outraged by Trump’s attacks on us.

Please remember this next time you hear Nigel Farage and Reform say we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Dear MAGA,
If you didn't want us to torch the mean asshole who made President Biden's age / physical condition an issue -- despite the fact he's only 2 years younger and in WORSE shape -- you shouldn't have thrown rocks in that glass house.

This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.
Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.
Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to change how judges interpret the European Convention on Human Rights – a move that risks weakening everyone’s protections.
The ECHR has become a convenient scapegoat for challenges around migration and sovereignty.
