Farage is nothing more than Trump's poodle. Equally suspicious of democracy, equally eager to wrap himself in the flag, equally contemptuous of those with less money, or luck, and equally ready to incite a mob. Not willing to debate though... That would expose him to questions. He hates those!

Looks like Farage could be returned as the MP for Clacton unaposed. Wouldn't that be sad. No need for a vote. All over quickly. Investigations can carry on.

Now is the time for the good people of Clacton to stand up, be counted and stick the middle finger up to Farage = TemuTrump Also the rest of Reform,

Mackerel sky? Sign of rain!

It doesn't matter if frog-faced grifter resigns his seat & there's a by-election. Or the result. If he's found guilty of not declaring gifts & suspended, there needs to be a by-election. It's not up to a crook to decide if he's fit to be an MP. It's electorate & parliamentary standards committee.

A most pleasant lunch at the Plough and Sail in Paglesham, once it became too hot to tend to the garden 👨‍🌾 🚿🐪 🍨 An ancient phone box has been repurposed as a defibrillator ⚡️☕️ ☯️ 🦀 A peaceful scene, well away from the heat that is building in all senses of the word - have a lovely afternoon 😇 🍃 🍀 🕊️

Two genuine questions... What do you all think? 1) Is Farage running a risk that people will see through his childish and expensive stunt, and refuse to vote? 2) Should "progressive" parties agree on a single anti-Reform candidate that they can all support?

Cedar Waxwing. I wasn't as close as I would have liked to have been, but wanted to post anyway due to its unique looks.

Yawn. What a blow-hard. Don’t threaten us with a good time and then go on and on and on, fascist frog

Bullfrog of the day! Tuesday, 7 July 2026

Today, I laid a wreath in Hyde Park to honour the 52 innocent people killed on 7 July 2005. We honour those injured, the families who carry the loss, and the heroic emergency responders who ran towards danger that day. London remembers. You will never be forgotten.

No-one seems to remember 7th July 2005. I was sitting in an office off City Road wondering what was going on with bombs going off around London. 52 people died.

A thin-skinned bad-tempered prick who's seriously starting to lose his shit? Me?

Thames Water creditors ‘will bid for company even if it is nationalised’. It is all about profits. As owners, they will continue to extract returns, dump sewage in rivers, fleece captive customers About 0ne-third of TW water bills cover cost of borrowing. Need new beginning. Must nationalise.

Best seat in the house..

The US World Cup team went down to its worst defeat since the 1990s after opponents Belgium said they were fired up by a “sense of injustice” following Trump’s interference in the game. After the fourth goal, Belgium posted on social media “Overturn this”.

Fingers crossed... It would be a fitting (and hilarious) end if he took his bat and ball home in a sulk. Although I expect the billionaires would soon find another "man of the people" 🤮

Bestseller lists are unhelpful in choosing an enjoyable book. Book bloggers and bookshop staff with similar tastes to mine are more reliable; they are better at recommending worthwhile investments of my time.

Great result last night by the Belgium team, just goes to prove the old saying still rings true, CHEATS NEVER PROSPER That said I do feel sorry for the US team, it's just unfortunate that the #tangerinepedophileinchief had to try and fix the outcome,
