I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.
What the American "drug war" looks like on the ground: Ecuadorian fishermen were attacked in a double drone strike, arrested at gupoint, taken to El Salvador and then finally released.

“Reform plagued by vetting issues”
Candidates found to have “grotesque” views.
Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it.
It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform.

Just so we are clear (again) you’re allowed to break shit, threaten to kill the VP and smear shit on walls even assault Capitol Police and if you do get arrested you’ll get a pardon.
But if you just stand there holding signs, you’ll be thrown in jail with no pardon.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Israel is a terrorist state.
The fact there was a mass shooting with EIGHT dead today and it barely made the front page of any news site tells you everything you need to know how fucked up we are as a country. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/shreveport...
Of course it would be a war crime.

But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,
“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”
Oh it really can.
You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.
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
My salary for being an MP is £98,000 per year.
GB News pay me up to £98,000 per month.
Guess where my priorities lie...
🔴 Reform UK Candidate Claimed COVID Was ‘Pentagon-Led Plot’ in Conspiracy Theory Journal
Exclusive: Reform candidate David Booth is listed as the author of a paper arguing the pandemic was “staged” by Western military and intelligence agencies

Pre code, so it is possible, though I agree both those are wild.
Trump comparing himself to Jesus while Vance tries to lecture the actual Pope on matters theological proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the ‘Christian’ element of their support is, morally & doctrinally, about as Christian as a hula hoop. Their conduct is literally unconscionable.
A Reform candidate in Gateshead went bankrupt over an £8 million debt. Now he wants to help run the council. New from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/w...
Disgraceful.

I’m delighted to report that the exhumed body of Elvis will be standing as a candidate for Reform UK in Bury.
🚨 NEW: ‘Hitler was right’, says one of Reform’s top activists, Aaron Lee Taylor

Perfect front page.
Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

OTD in 1990 Soviet Union admitted that Soviet Union carried out Katyn massacre. These are Soviet documents with Stalin personally approving the murder of 22,000 Poles.
We blame(d) it on the Nazis. We lie(d).
Imagine us committing atrocities today & blaming it on Nazis...
“Israeli strike kills infant girl in south Lebanon during father’s funeral” — headline that tells you all you need to know about Israel’s war on Lebanon
USA joining Israel as a terrorist state.
I was thinking this morning how both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan would have been delighted to see a Westward-looking, centre-right party defeat a pro-Russian autocrat in a former Eastern Bloc country.
Trump now ordering naval blockade of Vatican City, also unaware that it is landlocked.
No amount of gerrymandering will fix that
It's OK everyone, Richard Tice underpaying £91,000 in tax was just a "minor administrative error", whereas Angela Rayner underpaying £40,000 stamp duty was a resigning matter.
Brief Trump summary of the past weeks:
- “Open the strait”
- “Help us open the strait”
- “We don’t need the strait open”
- “Open the f’king strait or I destroy you all”
- “We block the strait”
