Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Can someone from the farming lobby explain why Farage is being allowed to be a lead figure in their protests, given the Brexit harm he has inflicted on them?

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
Please don’t share.

I understand the sentiment behind dry January, but if you don't want to commit to this, I've an alternative.
Pub January, where you stop in at your local hostelry, have a drink and support a sector that is in danger of shrinking into obscurity, and with it a large of part of our heritage.

Does this make Farage and Tice The Brothers Grimm?
BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling”
Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

I’ve sounded like a broken record telling Brits to protect the NHS at all costs. I’m amazed more US healthcare execs don’t get shot dead in the street for the inhumanity they authorize.

Back on the other place 'call a general election now' is trending, promoted by the same people who responded to calls for a second Brexit referendum by saying "it was the will of the people, move on".
