Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

Sweet old Kyiv tonight

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

There will be no Telephone Cluedo today!

Find out who booked them and sack her!!!

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

Today’s poem is called ‘Morrissey’s Fridge’.

Farage should attend a park run, a game of football, a Primary School in Clacton, a Prom concert before he goes all "Broken Britain" The country is NOT broken. It's millions of people, born without Farage's privilege, trying cheerfully trying their best for their families and communities.

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!

Love it. 🤭

Fascinating little interview this but what is really amazing is that Bertrand Russell here is three years younger than Mick Jagger currently is. youtu.be/4OXtO92x5KA?...

Famous authors asking you out

"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.

What’s that, Dale? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.

The real problem with the now obvious corruption in Reform UK and its Conservative converts is not that the press didn’t cover this when it was patent years ago, but that because nothing was done it has become standard operating procedure

So it's Count Binface versus The Count of Dodgy Crypto. Perfect. It makes me proud to be British.

President Trump: Would you go to Moscow? President Zelenskyy: It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous.

Just to remind ourselves, here are the initial Byline Times investigations into Cottrell's role in helping Farage become a true 'Man of the Paypal' er.... checks notes... 7 years ago

On my way, Clacton.

Ukraine are kindly destroying the Russian army for European allies. The least we can do is give them these missiles to defend themselves with.

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is designed to be interactive, but damn, Trump thinks Teddy is alive.

I’m old enough to remember some rightwingers calling out Obama for having an opinion on Brexit, presumably they’ll be shocked by this

if Harbourne wasn’t registered to vote in the UK at the time he gave Farage £5 million in early 2024, then he would not have been a permissible donor. The law requires that individuals donating directly to UK political parties must be registered to vote in the UK, including as an overseas voter.

Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne? We can hear your strings being pulled.

Richard Tice will be speaking to Laura Kuenssberg because I'm still afraid of scrutiny. I thought the best person to explain why there is nothing wrong with accepting a £5 million gift would be the man who repeatedly avoids paying tax.

Note to journalists: thank you for treating me as though I have just become Prime Minister, but if you dare to ask me about the £5 million I got from a crypto billionaire I will shut you down like the petulant little shit I am.

Just time to fit in a few more photos of me pretending I like beer, to fool ordinary people into thinking I give a shit about them.

There's a young man we know, Richard Tice, Who was onto Angela's tax in a thrice, But the posh phoney git, Is a huge hypocrite, Resign, Dick...wasn't that your advice?

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.

one immediate dramatic consequence of the Hungarian result: Magyar has promised to repair relations with the EU and unblock a €90bn EU loan for Ukraine

That’s perfect
