I absolutely do not care about Rachel Reeves’s junior chess competition.

I absolutely do care about whether Farage is racist or not.

And, given the deranged but distinct possibility that he may become PM, we all should.

Ps… Narrator: there was no Damascene conversion.

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.

The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death.

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.

Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

Wow. Just listen to this from Canadian MP, Charlie Angus on Trump's tariffs:

Spent today doing vox pops in Clacton, a place Farage never goes unless he wants a photo op, something the locals agreed with.

He’s in the US for the SEVENTH time since July, yet this is the first thing you see as you enter town, it’s been there since December.

A metaphor for voting Reform.

Wonder which government allowed that metric to deteroriate so badly.

If we’d been shown this headline in 2016, we may have struggled to believe such a mess could be possible. But here we are, 8 years on, being asked to consider concessions on fish and opportunities for young people.
And the inescapable crappiness and tedium of it all is.. well.. just so very sad.
