While it's disappointing to hear that Rod Stewart supports divisive gobshite Nigel Farage, it's very good of him to announce it just in time to be told to fuck off by 200,000 people at Glastonbury.

Two days before the 2016 Brexit referendum, Daniel Hannan wrote about what life would be like in Britain on 24 June 2025. (The least accurate thing ever written about Brexit.)
A week ago, he wrote in the Telegraph that Britain is turning into a third world country.
He got paid for both articles.

If there's one image that sums up Trump's dictatorial intentions, this could well be it.
Today a number of veterans, one being 80 years old, were arrested at the Capitol building in DC for peacefully protesting against the unconstitutional unlawful assembly of the orange felon’s dictator march. I stand with these heroes who stand against fascism.

Here's a map I made of the 4 Russian air bases that Ukraine hit with drone attacks just now (red stars)
Look how deeply they penetrate into Russian territory. From the Arctic Circle to mid-Siberia, nowhere in Russia is now safe.
Slava Ukraini. ✊

Either James O’Brien didn’t know Sangita had an NDA (and presenters are treated *very* differently from each other at LBC)…
Or he knew.
If he knew, then it was an absolutely malicious & cowardly act on his part to attempt to defame Sangita, knowing she could not reply.

🚨 A statement:
Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

There is STRICT dress code for a Pope’s funeral requiring men to wear black suits and long black ties.
Naturally, the rapist was the only one who showed up in a blue suit and tie.
Is that because his VP killed Pope Francis?

It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years.
It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.

Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment
