Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

You think if Keir Starmer had been cultivated by this woman, there would be tumbleweed across entire UK media?!?
We are stuck in a right-wing news-sphere & this story proves how dangerous that is.

I am sure all those who lept to Lucy Connolly's defence on the basis of her imprisonment "for a social media post" will be equally vociferous in thier defence of this guy ? Might be slightly awkward having him speak at the Reform party conference, like she did, though www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

As Toby Young points out, Black people are over-represented in advertising. He somehow forgot to mention they are over-represented in poverty, unemployment and homelessness statistics too.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Well that's the trouble. We did. We voted out the Tories, only to get a government that now does the same or worse. It's not hard to see why people feel like giving up on politics.
Vote them out. Replace them with something better. Or stay home and order pizza and scroll cats on Insta while demanding universal basic income and complaining about politics. But you can't have both #Democracy

During WW1 there was a rumour that aspirin caused the Spanish Flu. As I was writing about that last year I often shook my head in disbelief at the stupidity of our near ancestors. Seems a lot of people are still dumb enough to believe nonsense.

We called each other bastards & fuckers.
Everyone said Jill in the village shop was a bitch & should be jailed.
I called Dean our paperboy a lying wanker and Bunty said Simple Sally should be burnt for being a slut.
