While it's disappointing to hear that Rod Stewart supports divisive gobshite Nigel Farage, it's very good of him to announce it just in time to be told to fuck off by 200,000 people at Glastonbury.
Two days before the 2016 Brexit referendum, Daniel Hannan wrote about what life would be like in Britain on 24 June 2025. (The least accurate thing ever written about Brexit.)
A week ago, he wrote in the Telegraph that Britain is turning into a third world country.
He got paid for both articles.
If there's one image that sums up Trump's dictatorial intentions, this could well be it.
Start with them.
I thought I'd spotted BB-8 on the roof earlier.
🔥 Because I've not seen it anywhere yet...
Here's a map I made of the 4 Russian air bases that Ukraine hit with drone attacks just now (red stars)
Look how deeply they penetrate into Russian territory. From the Arctic Circle to mid-Siberia, nowhere in Russia is now safe.
Slava Ukraini. ✊
Private Eye NUMBER CRUNCHING £9bn Boost to the UK economy by 2040 due to UK-EU deal, according to the government £100bn Brexit's economic cost to the UK economy per year, according to OBR estimates
Christ… red lines are so expensive.

Either James O’Brien didn’t know Sangita had an NDA (and presenters are treated *very* differently from each other at LBC)…
Or he knew.
If he knew, then it was an absolutely malicious & cowardly act on his part to attempt to defame Sangita, knowing she could not reply.
Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
PMSL.
This is an incredible story when you read it and discover what actually happened was:
- Lammy paid in advance
- The driver tried to extort him for a massive tip
- Drove off with his luggage
- At somepoint clocked he was a VIP
- Is now selling the story to The Sun.
NEWS! Nigel Farage to spend VE Day celebrations reminiscing about the time he addressed a far-right rally in Germany newsthump.com/2025/05/05/n...
There is STRICT dress code for a Pope’s funeral requiring men to wear black suits and long black ties.
Naturally, the rapist was the only one who showed up in a blue suit and tie.
Is that because his VP killed Pope Francis?
This from Jenrick is his usual mix of unnerving, far too online, ham fisted and actively bullshit - in reality there were 4 tweets (ones commemorating Sikh, Bengali, Tamil and Nepali New Year) and 4 tweets celebrating Easter:
OK Go have gone and done it again.

If you’re a writer and use AI for illustrations, don’t complain when illustrators use AI for writing.
If you’re a band that uses AI for videos, don’t gripe when video creators use AI music in their work.
If you’re an artist who uses AI for scripts, don’t complain when writers use AI for art.
Etc.
It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years.
It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.
Good Law Project report:
Karen Brost, Director of Luxe Lifestyle, a firm that bagged a £25.7m PPE contract when it had no employees & thousands of £ of debts, has been arrested on suspicion of fraud. Her husband, Tim Whyte, is also being investigated in connection with the offence.
Like clockwork , as soon as you criticise the fossil fuel companies and executives – out come the lobbyists and shady thinktanks based at and near the infamous SW1 55 Tufton Street .
Only Israel could machinegun 15 Ambulance Workers with video evidence, and STILL have all the Media defending them.
They are utterly sick as are all the people who lie for them.
Tell me you've never had to buy your own car without telling me.
Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment
Not enough thanks are shown by the UK to Trump for taking the UKs name off the top of the “most stupid act of self harm ever” list
“How do you fight this case when the government, A) admits they got it wrong, but B) doesn't care?”
The Trump administration have said a Maryland dad’s deportation to El Salvador was an ‘administrative error’ - and they are now unable to bring him home.
@spenley.bsky.social The Love Letter To Click was a great read (and the full version came through fine). I'm still pi**ed that Click was canned, the modern day version of Tomorrow's World. Thanks Spencer.
We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham
“He’s a right knobhead that JD Vance…” #Gogglebox speaks for Britain
Ben from Ben & Jerrys, "I don't think the US is a democracy"
"It's supposed to be 1 person 1 vote, but it's $1 is 1 vote"
"Congress represents money, not people"
