Last weekend Kent police described a far-right protest in Dover as "spontaneous". They've now admitted they were warned the night before - likely by a resident of the small village were several hundred men dumped their cars, camped out then boarded vans to Dover: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I can't remember a clearer smoking gun than that Channel 4 News footage. Nigel Farage and his senior aides all filmed discussing apparent plans to break the law by funnelling foreign money into British politics, plans which at least partly went ahead. A criminal investigation surely must follow

All set. Come on moon. Do your thing! #teammoon

Most X accounts posting about Belfast and Southampton unrest were based outside UK

Got a letter from my local water company yesterday full of handy hints on saving water in these drought conditions. Meanwhile this has been going on outside my house all weekend and they won't send anyone to fix it. Public ownership, now.

Yikes. Either the garden is on fire or it’s bloody hot out there!

There now follows a party election broadcast by the Count Binface Party, And if I do say so myself, it's a banger. #VoteBinface #Clacton

UEFA spokesperson Dietmar Fumm said to reporters "This decision effectively signals that Gianni Infantino is an enemy of world football". tl;dr: FIFA "foe" - Fumm

"Data released by Hampshire police under freedom of information laws shows that 22 of 37 people (59%) detained in Southampton after Henry's brutal murder have been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence" via Expose Racism

ex-Reform deputy leader Ben Habib claims the 2019 election was a stitch-up; that there was a financial deal between Johnson and Farage for Farage to stand down his Brexit party candidates In return – Habib said – Harborne gave them £1m a piece

MP’s maximum income from second jobs should set at the same as the threshold you start paying income tax.

My theory is that bald referees only like bald players. And that Wayne Rooneys hair transplant a few years back has turned all bald referees against England. This will continue until we pick a bald player #WorldCup

long shot but if anyone spots or has found a box of chocs/cakes on the overground which has probably just arrived at Clapham Junction from Dalston I’d be very grateful of a shout

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

As I say every year. I’m begging #F1 to introduce Joker laps in Monaco.

We all need to resist attempts like this to politicise Henry Nowak’s death and divide our country - whether they come from MAGA politicians like Vance or their cronies here in the UK.

Nigel Farage keeps changing his story about why crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne gave him £5m in 2024. Ex-MP and professor of law David Howarth examines whether any of his explanations pass muster. www.thenerve.news/p/nigel-fara...

So frustrating that the #SaintsFC board can’t even cheat right. Take Leicester. Cheated for a whole season, WON the Championship, GOT PROMOTED, had a real go at staying up and eventually got a 6 point penalty. Saints. Tried to cheat 3 games. Didn’t win them. Get punished twice.

#SaintsFC neglected the golden rule when dealing with the EFL, deny everything, never confess!
