She’s the ‘Chief Inspector of Everything’ who, following a loud intimidating greeting, examines closely everyone and anything being carried, followed by demanding an undeniable rigorous fuss.

I cancelled ‘X’ and don’t miss it.
We’re not going to let AI companies regulate themselves. We've seen it before and we know it doesn't work.
Tomorrow I’m introducing my AI Bill to put guardrails in place, protect people and hold companies accountable.
Public safety must come before tech billionaires’ profits.
... and Reform UK, full of lethal austerity-manufacturing ex-Tories, led by Thatcher worshipper, Liz Truss praiser Nigel Farage, will do the same ...

I've just looked at Chris Mason's short piece on the Clacton by-election and his comments about Farage. He mentions Farage stating how the local police advised him to stay away for his own safety, which he did.
He fails to add that the police have since denied making any such contact with him.
This headline is misleading.
Not in the usual way I cover - but language matters.
I suspect this is lazy headline writing, but who knows?
The figures will and should shock people!
And I will also cover one of the pervasive retorts - "yes, but what about army veterans..."

As it’s unlikely Farage would take part in a TV debate with only Count Binface an opponent, I suggest he is replaced by the famous Tub of Lard. It would certainly give more truthful replies… 😳
Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely
So the Clacton by-election is going to be a run-off between a clown solely interested in media attention via cheap stunts who plays a cartoon villain for social media idiots without the slightest interest in representing Clacton or doing the work of a parliamentarian... and Count Binface?
It is staggering that 10 years on, no one in Britain has a clue why Brexit happened, nor that it was orchestrated by the US Heritage Foundation, with the help of the Austrian Nazi FPÖ party, who have a contract of co-operation with Putin
The aim was to destabilise the EU & strengthen the Far Right
It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years.
European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you.
Thank you, dear Keir.
Tories and Reform hate Starmer because he’s forensic and capable! It’s not in thier own interests for him to stay leader. And Burnham and Streetings own egos will play right into their hands! Tarnishing them with the same Tory brush!
Meanwhile the evidence in the Epstein files of Johnson and Farage colluding with Steve Bannon to topple Theresa May has not been contested bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...
A non-political news item currently on ITV about the weather adversely affecting the country’s strawberry harvest, a farmer thought his crop would be over inside a couple of weeks.
Maybe adding some later fruiting varieties would help extend his season in future…
Keir Starmer, "I want to remind you what Nigel Farage said about Brexit"
"He said it would make us richer. Wrong. It made us poorer"
"He said it would reduce migration. Wrong. Migration went through the roof"
"He said it would make us more secure. Wrong again. It made us weaker"
This isn't about Starmer.
It never was about Starmer.
Change to Rayner, they go after Rayner.
Change to Streeting, they go after Streeting.
Change to Burnham, they go after him.
Etc. etc.
See the pattern?
It's not about individuals, it's about Labour.
Contrast with the inept Tories.
Do nothing for 14yrs except run the country into the ground, destroy public services & line their own & donors pockets yet still manage to make mistake after mistake. Right wing media: ‘nothing to see here….small boats…small boats…’
There are things I have been very disappointed with since Starmer / Labour came into power but I get so frustrated to hear people trotting out the 'he hasn't got charisma' line. Haven't we seen where 'charisma' gets us? Give me competence any day
Please do not embarrass Farage by reposting his 'Happy Birthday Mr President' tweet. Be careful not to draw attention to the fact that he's holding a bottle of Trump wine, it would make him look like a fawning sycophant, and we wouldn't want to do that ... would we?
One of the biggest problems the UK will face at the next G.E. is the same problem the USA faced, voter apathy and look where that got them.
So many in the UK just cannot be bothered to go out and vote, where as ReformUK supporters will all come out and vote, we too could have a Trump type PM.
Today’s Daily Depress has a front page headline and spread covering Trump’s reaction to the sentencing of an Afghan (small boat migrant of course) to jail for raping a 13 year old girl.
He wants him deported and free to enjoy his life.
The offshore bonanza fuelling Reform UK continues, according to Electoral Commission data for the last quarter of 2025.
Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.
Well now, so the dodgy Lord Mandelson has been been arrested.
Somehow I don’t think he’ll be asking Kiel Starmer or Gordon Brown to be character witnesses …

Isn’t it amazing how one after another, accusations against Starmer are following on as though they have been choreographed..
Designed to derail an elected government by outside interests working in the shadows…
If only the media showed the same level of excitement when yet another failure, lie or association was revealed about Farage or ReformUK!😡 We might have more stable politics if the media did their job!!😡
History repeating itself?
UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.
Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.
Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.
Wow! The Traitors has just finished and maintained the tension and uncertainty right to the very last moment..
Brilliant and inventive all the way through. Superb television for families and singles alike…
If Trump is giving his usual rambling speech of strange grammatical nonsense, it will be interesting to hear what the various interpreters manage pass on to the world leaders in Davos…
