Latvia 1932: occupied 1940.
Estonia 1932:occupied 1940.
Poland 1932: invaded 1939.

Oh blimey, Frank Luntz on BBC Newsnight AGAIN! introduced as a polling guru - which he isn't - he also gets to give his erroneous opinions on banning Maccabi fans and Trump's peace plan.

Alex Philips, a Talk TV presenter, Richard Bacon, a coke-snorting former Blue Peter presenter, and K.T. McFarland, a weirdly mummified former deputy National Security adviser from 2017 - how has BBC Newsnight fallen so far as to have these idiots discussing the Gaza ceasefire?

Andy Street on BBC Newsnight just now. Former Conservative Mayor of West Midlands. He seems a decent, sensible person - must feel very lonely in today's Conservative Party.

If the Rapture happens on Tuesday, I can't work out which outcome I prefer...
1. President Trump and his supporters go up to Heaven, leaving the rest of us to enjoy a more peaceful life down here.
2. All of us non-malevolent people get taken up to Heaven, leaving Trump and MAGA supporters down here.

Mandelson has been nothing but trouble in most of the jobs he's held. He's a terrible choice of ambassador - he won't last.

It's with a heavy heart that I have to announce I won't take part in the election for deputy prime minister. It's partly because I'm not an MP or even a member of the Labour Party, but mainly because, as a rat, I really don't wish to embark on a ship that's bound to sink rather soon.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I'm beginning to wonder if Sirhan Sirhan was sent back in time from 2026 to 1968 to eliminate RFK Jr long before he could do irreparable damage to America's health - and he just got the wrong guy.

BBC Radio 4 comedy programmes are largely shouty people with high voices talking really fast about their ADHD, autism or sexuality. The one on now - Saturday at 12:30 is a good (bad) example of this irritating trend. The only ones worth listening to are the News Quiz and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.

IDF spokesman David Mencer on BBC Radio 4's Today programme right now, ranting and making it very clear Israel is out of control and deliberately starving the population of Gaza. I hope they stop featuring him on the programme in future.

Matt Goodwin is right, London is a hellhole. I saw this rabble this morning with their "colourful" national costumes and primitive banners. They said they were catching swans - to eat, no doubt. I phoned the police but they told me to stop wasting their time. Typical.

Sebastian Gorka just been interviewed on BBC Radio 4 World at One. Most unfair - they made him come over as a revolting, mendacious, bullying buffoon. In real life he's not a disgusting, lying, hate-filled pimple of pus - far from it.
