Gritted Teeth

Storm Austin? - you bloody amateur.

The Bridge Over the River Thames

I had assumed that's what he meant, but it's obviously not what he said. The press should not be condemned for reporting what he said; and no one with this much difficulty expressing his thoughts is fit to be president.

And that's the point. How can you be proud of something you have no control over? It is what it is .

Donald Trump can barely spell AI, yet his verbal dribblings are taken seriously by hacks.

Not now Etna.

Campbell, hits the nail on the head. BBC news, 'cheerleader' of Farage/Reform.

At least with £72m Reform should be able to promise us all 30p to feed ourselves for the day

I might have to reconsider my desert island disc after another listen to Graceland - what an absolute banger.

Imagine the security you buy with £72m.

Danny Thomas vs. The Daily Mail is a real ‘gonorrhoea vs. syphilis’ situation.

Donna Jones the PC for Portsmouth is apparently a Conservative, she sounded more like Restore on BBC Breakfast.

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.

March 8.

Absolutely. A good man done down.

Well, happy 29th anniversary to the greatest ‘reverse ferret’ ever issued by a media outlet

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

It would be impossible to guess any of this from most media coverage.

The Primates.

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Shrodinger: it is both half empty and half full, until we look.

Watched the Miles Davis proms thing with mixed feelings. But overall very good. The drummer was brilliant.

Downplay a book or a movie. The ok, the ok and the ok. Wuthering Bumps. A Fistful of 2ps

Ok that government alarm thing caught a lot of our family around the country on the hop. I thought our fridge was playing up!

This eclipse celebration we are having in the garden has frankly been something of a damp squib. It has now turned into another bottle of wine with the sunset. Oh well.

Don't let anyone call us wankers.

Burnham is serious about addressing social care. Badenoch isn't.

Complete bollocks from the Express. This is actually the cost per mile given the current high price of fuel. And of course plenty won't bother to read the article.

Has she called for him to resign yet? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@telegraph.co.uk @lbc.co.uk @gbnewsonline.bsky.social Will you take responsibility when the 90%+ of benefit claimants who are NOT EXEMPT assume they’re ok to use a hosepipe based on your headlines? 🤷🏼‍♀️

There is simply too much focus in the UK media on a puffed up narcissist with a ludicrous title who pops up to spout idiotic soundbites whenever actual adults are trying to discuss the future of governing Britain. For example, here he is talking about Count Binface.

Imagine the utter contempt you’d have to have for your constituents that you would think you could do absolutely nothing for them while lining your pockets and they would be stupid enough to vote for you again. #Farage #Clacton

The worst thing with this hot weather and being outside in the countryside is having to interact with the insect world. They have some complete bastards amongst their number.

Crikey I'm bored with all these AI generated poster adverts.

Wholly agree with this. Mothball the Westminster building and build a new modern well equipped parliament building. With an elected 2nd chamber.

If chronicle means amplifying every division, belittling Starmer at every opportunity, downplaying every achievement and delighting in parroting the Tory line in dreadful prose, then Mason has chronicled the last two years. Sadly it doesn't, and Mason has been a participant not a neutral observer.

If the bloke wielding a knife and attacking passersby was a Muslim all today's rolling news and political programmes would be coming live from the streets of Edinburgh and Farage's ugly mush would be on every show.

And scrutiny and criticism which he is so anxious to avoid.

One person who'll be secretly pleased by the by-election results will be Nigel Farage. Becoming PM is his worst nightmare. It involves hard work, long hours and tough decisions. It's not the lucrative gig of being a rent boy for the billionaire class.

I don’t know who to credit for this photo of Trump at the G7, but it’s excellent.

Loud minority Vs quiet majority.

Excellent point. 👌

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

Is this before or after tax? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Indeed. Farage got there first. Whatever the issue Reform and Restore cannot be seen to be agreeing.
