Why is a retired banjo playing, public school nepo-baby on the BBC's flagship Newsnight commenting on the Red Wall? And why no mention that: Winston Marshall only has a political platform because his Dad is billionaire Paul Marshall... owner of GB NEWS and the Spectator.

The "red wall" is not a term you hear often these days

I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.

Forgot Lord D was one of the Winton kids; a genuinely wonderful piece of television. RIP.

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

Despite being a famous Hollywood star if you want to know what sort of person DAVID NIVEN was, the largest wreath at his funeral was from the Porters at Heathrow Airport. It read: “To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a Porter feel like a King.”

Small boat crossings account for ca 3% of total net migration to the UK. Watch GB NEWS or Talk or listen to Farage and Co and you'd think it was the majority.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston: "That's what the lifeboat does. It saves lives at sea. That's its job." "And this is an international duty. Everyone who goes to sea knows, in the event of someone being in difficulty, you go to their assistance." The abuse the RNLI have faced is a disgrace.

Strange isn't it that there are all those calls from right-wing influencers and libertarians on sm for Ukraine to hold elections in the middle of a war... but absolutely no calls for free and fair and transparent elections from the same people in the Russian dictatorship. Which is also at war.

Love this classic Grifter’s grift: blame the Establishment (anyone who doesn’t agree with you). When that fails, blame the people around you. Golden rule: take no responsibility.

Hahahaha. Farage now whining that he was badly advised by his overpaid team into calling his stupid by-election. Confirming then that he’s incapable of working it out for himself. Too busy counting his money. Honest to god, Clacton. Don’t be the constituency dunces he needs you to be. (Times)
