Thank you to the hundreds of devoted supporters who were there to cheer me on at the press conference today.

Israeli settlers, all men, brutally attacked a US journalist, a woman, in an attempted lynching. The Israeli military provided the attackers with cover using tear gas and machine gun fire. Palestinians intervened to rescue her from being beaten to death.

I hadn’t had plague down on my four horseman of the Apocalypse bingo card for 2026 More seriously, Putin — a master poisoner with Novichok and polonium — always accuses others of his own crimes, hence the whole Ukrainian biolabs bollox

Keir Starmer wanted to be remembered as Prime Minister for building homes. Instead he will be remembered for his complicity in destroying them. #GazaGenocide

👀 "Nearly 10 years ago, Nigel Farage told LBC he would leave the country if Brexit were not a stunning success. For reasons that no one can quite fathom, he is still here."

If you block the roads you can expect angry condemnation from Rupert. Unless you're a masked far-right fuckwit, in which case you can expect wholehearted support.

Day 1657 is upon us. The war, started illegally by Russia, continues. Witkoff and Kushner left Ukraine last night with no-one quite sure if they came looking for peace in Ukraine, or a piece of Ukraine. Welcome to Monday's daily🧵 Fact checked news of the war every single day.

Now why would anyone in Dover feel threatened by a couple of patriots, helpfully organised by Danny Tommo, the flag shagger with a made up name who's been to prison for various drugs and violence offences including kidnap.

It's a good job the balaclava-clad fascists who closed down Britain's biggest port aren't peacenik grannies holding placards, because they'd be facing terrorism charges then

Woke snowflakes 😂

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Another day, another report on the damage that Brexit has caused... A new report from the Fraser of Allander Institute and Prosper finds that Brexit has made it harder for Scotland to be viewed as part of the European business ecosystem.

Just protecting women and kids and nothing fascist about this at all 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

Taylor Farms has spent millions backing Trump. It's reported to be using forced labour. Meanwhile Trump's blanket new tariffs are justified under section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974 to "enforce bans on goods produced by forced labour". We expect hypocrisy from Trump, but this is astounding.

From today, EU citizens have a legal right to know when they're talking to a bot or looking at a deepfake, backed by fines of up to €15m. Thanks to Brexit, we're missing out on this protection.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

A useful and disturbing article about Elon Musk's fascism, only slightly spoilt by the fact that, when you get to the bottom, you see that the first named author, the excellent @gregsargent.bsky.social, is still on X. We really need to walk the talk on this issue. newrepublic.com/article/2135...

Boris Johnson says Miliband's appointment as foreign secretary will 'delight the Kremlin'. In the spirit of transparency, he should now publish the texts he sent Lord Lebedev on the night he slipped his security detail on a lads' weekend at that famous castle in Perugia.

We're less than a decade away from turning into a third world country. The sort of country where corrupt politicians are bought for £5 million and have all their expenses paid by convicted criminals.

These years of anti-immigration hysteria we're living through right now are going to look utterly incomprehensible in the coming era of closing schools, ageing populations and massively understaffed public services

There's a good reason that I lied about being refused any state security when in fact I'd been offered a bodyguard, a car & a trained driver, on a par with a high profile cabinet member. It's because I didn't want anyone seeing what i get up to and how little work I do.

Zia Yusuf is terrified of being bugged - a sure sign that he has nothing to hide.

Just me walking up the road so I can turn round and march back down again like a tit for the camera.

How do you resign from a job you weren't actually doing? Asking for a friend

🚨 Brexit has failed on every single metric. https://www.business-live.co.uk/opinion-analysis/brexit-been-hugely-damaging-freight-34203354

In 1976 we didn't let a bit of hot weather bring life to a standstill. I was at school and can distinctly remember carrying on racially abusing other pupils as usual.

Wednesday marks 10 years to the day since Cameron resigned to let Brexit usher in a new era of stable self governance. Since then we've burned through: 5 more prime ministers 8 chancellors 8 home secretaries 9 foreign secretaries 10 education secretaries 10 defence secretaries Masterful work.

Brexit has been a disaster for all of us, well except Nigel Farage, we are all poorer, well except Nigel Farage... Notice a pattern? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/opinion/brexit-britain-europe-power.html

Donald Trump’s latest cognitive test was in the full glare of the public spotlight and it was an epic fail for the ages www.thepoke.com/2026/06/19/donald-trumps-latest-cognitive-test-was-in-the-full-glare-of-the-public-spotlight-and-it-was-an-epic-fail-for-the-ages/

Britain wants to rejoin the EU.

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party. Cracking tale from @tomburgis.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Belfast knife suspect won asylum in Britain under 'fast-track' scheme introduced by UK Tory govt. Then home secretary Suella Braverman and immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme. They have a few questions to answer.

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

“The truth is that the global far right have spent the past few years using a billionaire-owned social media platform to deliberately whip up racist violence on Britain’s streets and now they are finally starting to succeed.” @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/06/10/t...
