A thoughtful review of ex Prime Minister Liz Truss's new book in The Telegraph : “Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy"

Would the @royalsociety.org like to explain why they still maintain Fellowship with a man who deliberately reduced Ukraine’s defensive capabilities, leading to multiple civilian deaths and casualties?

Of course not, Farage is desperately trying to stem Reform UK collapse in the polls, by attracting back even more blatantly racist & sexist defectors to Restore Britian "Nigel Farage says Reform candidates won’t be banned for backing Tommy Robinson online" www.politico.eu/article/nige...

If course, coming home, to his fellow failed politicians. He will be welcomed with open arms. By the Trump administration. He’ll enjoy his time here, until Democrats get in.

Disgraced presidential candidate loser, Brazilian Flavio Bolsonaro is allegedly enroute to the United States without a valid passport or visa. That makes him a criminal illegal immigrant that requires, per Trump & Republicans, he be snatched, beaten & disappeared to camp. Bet that doesn't happen

Farage said he wants Trump’s ICE Czar, Tom Homan, over here to do a similar job. This isn’t British. It would ape the pre-1938 SS. We don’t want Farage to rehearse the depraved history of mid twentieth century Germany here. Farage’s fanatics (below) point to the path he’s on bsky.app/profile/theo...

Peter Kay@theonlypeterkay.bsky.social

ITV1 Hardcash: Jason Powell, an aspiring Reform MP, talks about building concentration camps to house asylum seekers. Now consider Farage’s “banter” about bringing Trump’s ICE chief to Britain. “Banter” can test public reaction while preserving plausible deniability. Farage’s go-to strategy?

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham hosted the first-ever Rough Sleeping Summit at Downing Street, bringing together businesses, charities, housing providers and local leaders. Labour has committed a further £432m support beyond winter, to get everyone sleeping rough off the streets before Christmas.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

RIP Chekov. Your attempts at Russian dancing will always be a fond childhood memory. #WalterKoenig

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Perfect.

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

In Ireland we suffered under 60 years of Roman Catholic theocracy (they did more harm than the Brits in the 20th century) before throwing off the yoke of church fascism & become one of the most liberal countries in the world & I can tell u cruxification would be too good for everyone in this photo.

Happy Days. 😀 The Reform decline continues. 📉 Up to the end of June, according to polls, Reform were predicted to become the largest party in parliament at the next GE. Currently the prediction is they could end up in fourth place behind Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems.
