I’m not exaggerating when I say, this is exactly how my grandfather sounded three months before we had to put him in a nursing home

Johnson thought Brexit was a debating competition. He is beyond contempt

Great primer by @bentreyf on the mystery of Elon Perry (if that even is his name!) and the enfeeblement of his once august masthead 972mag.com/jewish-chronicle-…

Britain lost the ability to treat its sewage the moment we left the EU and it became profitable to dump it (no fines). Fines were approximately £100-200m while we were in the EU. They would be £5bn a year now, they only make £3bn profit.

Farage would like this erased from history. Incitement? nitter.gq/i/status/1819473846845…
Nigel Farage promised us violent disorder this weekend. And he delivered.

What an absolute weasel. Police dealing with a horrific murder and he thinks their prime role should be to make sure coked up fascists get the facts to prevent them from rioting. 1. Police have to be very careful about what they say. 2. Complicated by age of offender. 3. He knew exactly what he was doing but it has gone a bit too far so he is going into his nice Nigel reasonable on the radio mode. We talk about @Nigel_Farage “I don’t know … I’m only asking questions” shtick on @RestIsPolitics tomorrow.
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage says he was misled by Andrew Tate and 'other folk with big followings' into incorrectly suggesting that the man charged with the Southport killings 'was known to security services'

This is extraordinary. According to Farage “The far right are a reaction to fear, to discomfort, to unease…”. Farage has gone full far-right apologist. Like his justification of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his mask has slipped & the public are starting to see who he is.

Donald Trump says that Melania struggles to talk about the assassination attempt against him: “She can’t really even talk about it, which is okay, because that means she likes me, or she loves me…that’s nice”

This is what we mean when we say Trump is going to take away our freedom.
Holy shit! Trump just laid out his plans to be a dictator. Where the hell is the media?? “You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine…In four years, you won’t have to vote again.”

It is extraordinary that the USA gets treated to a dismantling of the Tory party orders of magnitude better than the tame efforts anyone dares attempt here. (And no, it's not the swearing that makes the difference - it's the accuracy of the attacks.)

If you ever have impostor syndrome remember the Tory PM, 20 points behind in the polls during an election he called and running on bring back national service, thought it was ok to skip the D Day commemorations to record a tetchy interview that wouldn’t air for 6 days.

NUS have voted to expel the main Jewish student group. Anti Zionism is almost always antisemitic & this is a very clear example of anti semitic anti Zionism. This isn’t criticism of Israel. It’s punishing British Jews for not wanting Israel to be destroyed thejc.com/news/uk/revealed-n…
