It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?

Roughly an eight-hour flight. Plenty of time to discuss people like Isabel Oakeshott's tax status. Their flight can always be rerouted to Rwanda, where I understand there is some very comfortable accommodation, all paid for. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

We’ve been banned from Reform Party events for two years now. Why does Nigel Farage lie to Congress about this? @bylinetimes.bsky.social @josiah.writes.news

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

Your occasional reminder that the UK fishing industry adds less £ to UK GDP than Harrods in Knightsbridge and employs roughly the same number of fishers (ca 6000) as the store's full rota.

Gary Lineker apologises and resigns because of a lack of care in reposting a post on Instagram. Meanwhile, Farage is left untouched for his support for Andrew Tate, who is accused of rape and human trafficking and is perverting the minds of male teenagers.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

As long as I live, I will never understand why they would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

Why has no European leader said this as clearly and courageously as Canada's Mark Carney? Why is Friedrich Merz the only one who's even come close? Are politicians only capable of tough talk when there's an election?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

"The rule of law must now run its full course. Prince Harry & Tom Watson join others in calling for the police and Parliament to investigate not only the unlawful activity now finally admitted, but the perjury and cover ups along the way. Its clear now this has occurred throughout this process"

Musk openly supports the far right in Britain, see Tommy Robinson. He’s also endorsed Farage and Reform who have moved far right talking points into the mainstream and are aligned with European far right parties. He’s endorsed the far right AfD in Germany. It wasn’t an accident.
