Almost have to admire Nigel Farage's level of commitment to never spending a weekend in his own actual constituency, at this point.

Waiting for the IS reception, curious to see how she describes it.

Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

Check the inches, you could have been short changed. Remember, pie r squared to check area. Maths to the rescue.

Boomers: It just sucks so much that everyone gets participation trophies now, you used to have to show real merit to get an award

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Rep. Jamie Raskin tears into Nigel Farage as a "far-right pro-Putin politician" and a "Donald Trump sycophant and wannabe".

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

"To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come on over to America and see what Trump & MAGA are doing to destroy OUR freedom"

Farage has his arse handed to him on a plate.

What did the potato do wrong? Why is it in the ‘time out bowl’?
