It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

A remake of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor but purely focussed on Tinker - Tinker, Tinker, Tinker, Tinker.

Any takers?

Intriguing.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Our new database tracks Tory defections to Reform UK. The ease with which Tories are finding a home in the Reform UK party shows who the party serves.

Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories.

I have lost confidence in the Home Secretary's ability to recognise a violent, far right football club bent on causing trouble.

I've only admitted to that in public a few months ago.

I swore to myself as a child that every time I said "chicken drumstick" I would do a b'dum-dum tish sound, like that a drum stick gets out of a drum.

It's been over 40 years now and I haven't missed one yet.

Bit of a pain at times, yet I've soldiered on. Tough on chickens too.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

This is the man who activists in the UK advocate for. A man who thinks it’s an unreasonable level of censorship to stop a platform making sexualised images of children and women.

In a way it’s good that they’re being so clear about whose team they’re really on. Get in the bin.

They'll fiddle the next round draw and Villa will get another Premier League side to play or Birmingham City who will kick chunks out of our players.

#bbcfootball the commentators were talking the whole game from the point of view of spurs. Incredible.

Villa played them off the park yet they spoke of poor old spurs can't get going. Second half when spurs had the ball the commentators were in raptures.

Remember during an Iraq war - I forget which one - where there was a hullabaloo about showing prisoners faces? So they put hoods on them.

Fast forward to today and we see videos of drones flying into the faces of terrified soldiers to blow them up.
