Good. It’s easy to forget that climate change denial & shilling for fossil fuel companies provided a template for Tufton Street, Brexit & pretty much every egregious example of persuading populations to vote against their own interests. The story of Don Pearlman should be taught in kindergartens…

Live Review: Tori Amos + Issac Levi at Newcastle City Hall - Joyzine Would you believe I've been culturally aware of Tori Amos for years, but before tonight I couldn't name a song or probably even exactly what kind of music she performed? Apparently all of my cool musi...

"I knew it would be breath-taking, yet when my breath was taken I was still somehow surprised!"

Lauren P was Newcastle City Hall to be intoxicated by the magic of Tori Amos live plus the "beautiful, melancholy melodies" of support act Isaac Levi.

Reform’s Richard Tice posts picture with telltale signs of AI manipulation, say experts Deputy leader’s image on X was almost certainly generated or altered using AI, according to Peryton Intelligence

"Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party, said: “There’s nothing real about the Reform party. Their supposed policies to tackle cost of living are fake, they spin stories that are fake and now we know even their campaigners are fake.”

This looks great. 🙏🔥🔥

Simple as.

Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.

So NOTORIOUS is out in paperback on May 7th.

And though it's no best selling Matt Goodwin ... I hope you will avail yourself of a copy.

Or even several copies.

Can’t believe the stories emerging about Kash Patel. He seems so sane & stable. It’s as if Robert Kennedy turned out to be as mad as a goose or Pete Hegseth a brain dead oik. Unthinkable!

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

I've got a paperback out May 7th and I won't be going round bookshops demanding to know where it is because I'm not a monumental Goodwin.

That's a pretty major cock up - and it's well outside ULEZ too

“I was brainwashed by Nigel Farage.”

‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.

It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint!
