I’ve just read a customer review on Temu; “Perfect. Very practical. It’s also very comfortable to wear”.

Farage has known Gill for 20 years. Yet while they collaborated on their mutual loathing of the EU, somehow they never discussed their mutual admiration for Russia? #ReformRussianBribes #BrexitIsRussianForeignPolicy
Reform UK desperately tried to distance Farage from the traitor Nathan Gill.
But here is Conor Gogarty reading Farage's own quotes about bribe-taker Gill back to him:
"I have worked closely with Nathan Gill as leader of Ukip Wales. I have always found him to be hard-working, honest, and loyal."

I’ve no doubt more are involved in Russian spying ring but political corruption is like mycelium that spreads for miles under the ground and only occasionally throws up a mushroom. It’s why I don’t think everything in the Epstein files will ever see the light of day.

Banks was losing Reform candidate for Mayor of West of England but lost. He’s a good mate of Nigel Paul Farage and an old foe of Carol Cadwalladr. Another Reform Russia link.

It will be interesting but predictable to see how Farage and the right wing press go about suppressing the fact that Nathan Gill is now in jail after working for the Russians. And all those useful idiots putting up flags because they think Reform stands for patriotism. Will they never learn!

Correct me if I was dreaming, (I could quite reasonably been asleep) but didn’t Fiona Bruce say last week that Andy Burnham was going to be on the show tonight? I can’t see his name on the panel list!

It's taken five years for them to tell us what we already knew. That this useless, scruffy sack of shit was responsible for so many deaths. The Boris Covid Wall is a testament to his time in power. What we need to know now is when is he, and his corrupt money-grabbing cabinet, going to prison?

Nick Ferrari LBC claiming that 16,500 millionaires left the country due to the higher tax rates. The Tax Justice Network say the number represents a around 0.5% of the total millionaire population. If you live in the south east, your house and assets may be easily be worth a million. Scaremongering?

The US uses the scheme EB-1A Extraordinary Ability Category for migrants to claim citizenship. EB1A is the most prestigious and difficult to obtain. It requires proof of sustained national or international acclaim in one's field. How then did Melania Trump get it and what for?

I don’t worry so much about the people that Nigel Farage doesn’t want to live next door to. I’m more concerned about the people who may have to live next door to him.

Did you know that the House of Commons can only sit 427 MPs, but there are 650. The best way to reserve a seat is to attend the prayers which are said every day at 8.00 am. You get a card which reserves your seat for the entire day.

The people putting up flags on lamp posts, especially those in the central reservation of a dual carriage way are committing the same offence as the Just Stop Oil protesters who climbed the gantry over the M25. Some were sentenced to 2 year’s imprisonment!

The Union flag has been appropriated by those who hold an anti immigration ideology. It is no longer associated by all as a symbol of patriotism so there are those who take it upon themselves to remove them. What if they replaced them with a flag that symbolises pro-immigration? A simple white flag?

When the flag that someone has put on the lamp post outside your house, and which keeps you awake on a windy night becomes old, dirty and tattered, will the patriots who put it up there, stop their litter picking and roundabout tidying for a short while to come back and replace it?

When it comes to sex, many men have a very low morale compass but having sex with a woman or particularly a young girl who you know has been trafficked to you is not just a question of morality or legality. It’s about respect for oneself and even more about respect for the other person. Isn’t it?

There has been significant speculation and media coverage about Andy Burnham potentially returning to Parliament via a by-election and then challenging Keir Starmer for the leadership of the Labour Party. He’s a guest on BBCQT next week. Maybe he will tell us more? Do you want him as PM?

Like the vast majority in the UK, I am proud of our NHS. It’s not perfect and never will be and it needs reform but it’s better than the insurance based system that Farage is touting. I would happily pay a little more tax to help fund it but it needs to be spent on effectiveness and efficiency.

In the light of the 23,000 Epstein emails, some of which might implicate Andy, (and there’s a lot more to come) do you think the King may have been tipped off?
