Still better than extending reach into raw sewage.

World-class gibberish.

Good to see Orban getting support from a US regime that just made itself global parriahs.

Trump's increasingly slurring when he speaks is particularly bad when he tries to say "The United States of America" (especially as he says "Shhhtates") so kudos to his speech writer who used the phrase 5 times in 5 sentences at the end of his energy-free speech.

Knew you knew, just thought the author name was one of the better ones around today.

"Avril Fuller"

There were 6.5 million UK listeners to his breakfast show, in terms of home UK news, it's hardly a non-story on that basis alone and that's before you factor in that this is another piece in a wider story of bad behaviour by prominent figures in broadcasting and the publicly-funded BBC.

Always a problem for the BBC, if they don't make their own scandals headlines, they get accused of covering things up.

Most amusingly, many of them criticise free speech in the UK while now living in countries with explicit laws limiting what they can say to the extent they can't even mention bombs falling around them.

Given his increasing slurring of words and increasing use of make up, not long to wait for all this nonsense to end.

"Scum press".

Like it's the press who banned him from football, not the Football Association.

Maybe he'd seen Hopper's understated performance as an average everyman in Blue Velvet?

Even when the non-Reform parties don't have such an advantage, evidence in recent elections are that the non-Reform voters will go very tactical to avoid a Reform win.

Increasing real-world evidence now shows the national polling massively over-estimates the potential for Reform MP numbers.

Reform's vote is over-estimated in all national polling judging by the actual behaviour of voters in real elections.

Reform were plus 10% in many polls pre-Gorton by-election and they lost by 4000 votes.

That's an understatement. They shat the bed that losing the last by-election was "undemocratic" because more people voted for the winner than them.

And yet despite all these poll leads, Reform can't win by-elections because the majority of voters will be tactical against them.
Reform were almost 10% ahead in polling in Gorton and they lost by 4,000 votes.

I thought the Polanski line of "it's not really a lie, it's a parody of the other parties lying" on the Last Leg on Friday night was genuinely pathetic.
If it's wrong when another party does it, don't laugh about doing it yourself.

Weird how it's sold as a tax-free oasis to move to if it's not a tax-saving dodge.

The word you are looking for is "pathetic".

It's the clear lesson along with the recent result in Wales that no coverage ever seems to state - despite Reform leading slightly in national polls, when it comes to individual elections people will vote "anti-Reform" by backing the alternative most likely to win.

I assume that's a "simple coincidence".

Not sure using a French phrase fits the mood of her "art".

* Some reputable venues as well as Lee Hurst's club.

Well, you've certainly made clear you are not worth bothering with.

He reached out and did that.

My question was very specifically how you apologise for the outburst itself, not the impact, given it's an involuntary action.

I'm sorry if the words were too confusing for you.

Facts like that are totally irrelevant if you want to spend your time online being offended on somebody else's part.

Explain how an apology for an involuntary action would read?

This is exactly why I was very disappointed that the recent film "Black Bag" was about spies.

Accountability is making a comeback? About time.
