Marina Purkiss, "Nigel Farage said 'up the Ra' for £86, What do you think he's willing to do for £5,000,000?

🤢 Trump the Bathroom Slob? The president is mad at authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan for the bathroom scenes in 'Regime Change.' Plus: the Supreme Court turns a blind eye to Trump's racism as it screws over Haitians. Read today's First Draft:

Trump thought suing the BBC would intimidate them. Instead, they turned his own lawsuit into a legal headache that could force him to defend his actions surrounding January 6 under oath. That is the kind of self inflicted karma no political strategist could have scripted.

This is shocking in so many ways. #LBC

Now being told by Burnham supporters we must get behind him for the good of the party (note not the country). Why didn't they get behind Starmer instead of plotting to oust him for over a year. Many members, myself included, are disgusted and will cancel our membership.

All we heard was: Me me me me me me and many more me me me…

Correct. Many millions of Americans ceased caring about corruption, lawlessness, unconstitutional power grabs, and habitual lying years ago. Our standards have fallen so low as a nation that Vance can brag about getting away with it and still have a political future. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nigel Farage's tip for Brits stuck in post-Brexit airport queues? 'Just go by dinghy, it's much easier!' So here’s a reminder of how his Brexit led to the small boats crisis. If UK news shows won’t call his bull**** out let’s do it ourselves youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

This is going to be a bit tricky because he's "in exile" in Russia

Well then, Nigel… Robert Jenrick says questions about £5m donation to Farage are legitimate

by a third in the spring of 2026 compared to last year. In April, 1,708 contract soldiers were sent to the front; in May, that number fell to 1,378, and the deficit continues to grow. 📹:Serdobsk, Penza Oblast, Russia

Baroness Claire Fox (introduced as an "unaffiliated peer" despite having been an MEP with the Brexit Party and put in the Lords by Boris Johnson) accuses Andy Burnham of "aping a northern accent".

Five Million Farage skips a debate on Defence (something he claims to care about) to enjoy a luxury lunch to 'celebrate' Putin's Brexit with some of his co-conspirators. More importantly, the band needs a name... Tears for Project Fears? Brexitshambles?

Reform UK think this is OK. They haven’t done a thing about Glenn Gibbins’ comment. Not a single thing. Now the people of Sunderland are protesting. #RacistReform

As unionised workers labour in 40 degree heat, two trade unions want to block Miliband from HMT because they like oil & gas and not “his relentless focus on the net zero agenda.” Give me strength 🤦‍♀️ www.ft.com/content/7441...

Once again, as I’ve noted multiple times before, Trump’s foreign policy isn’t really realist, or imperialist, or neoroyalist, or about spheres of influence, etc. Its sexual predation/abuse elevated the level of the state

I cannot adequately express just how much I despise Kemi Badenoch. I know politicians who fail to read a room and get their tone wrong. I have never come across one with such an unerring ability to adopt the least appropriate stance on every single occasion. She is a twitter troll made flesh. #PMQs

🔥 Update: Moscow refinery shut down until at least 2027, - Reuters Industry sources told Reuters that the extensive damage will keep the plant out of operation for at least 6 months. Refinery processed more than 11.5 million tons of oil annually.

“Britain is only going to move on when it starts realising it’s one little cog in a whole load of cogs that make up the EU, that make up global geopolitics, and the UK on its own, not being a cog anywhere, is really unwise” “Independence Day” How bloody stupid. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ten years after the Brexit vote, the bill is brutal. Britain has paid for Nigel Farage’s lie with two million fewer jobs, £27bn in lost trade, an economy up to 8% smaller and costs estimated at £90bn every year. 1/2

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

You already got one, and you didn't like it.

Nigel Farage is running the bizarre line again on Today that he "wasn't in politics" when he stuffed £5 million down his trousers from a crypto-billionaire. He literally owned a political party.

'Do your MPs who defected from the Tories have a mandate?' Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is questioned on #BBCbreakfast over his calls for a General Election if Andy Burnham replaces Keir Starmer as Prime Minister

Nick Robinson: "Will you give this money back?" Nigel Farage: "Will you give your salary to charity? How about that? If you give your entire salary to charity, maybe I will". So is Farage now agreeing that he was taking a salary? That the £5 million was a payment for work done?

😳🤭

Nice one @libdems.org.uk 👍

🙄🙄 They hounded him over a curry They hounded him over a pair of glasses They hounded him over a suit They hounded him over using a quiet flat to let his son revise They hounded him if he went abroad They hounded him if he stayed in the UK Meanwhile Farage pockets £gazillions, lies, incites riots..

He was still better than any of this lot.

The UK's endless political circus is a direct result of Brexit. Leaving the EU made it impossible for any PM to deliver the kind of economy, living standards & public services that voters demand. Meanwhile, Farage exploits the failure of his own policy for personal power. Good to discuss on WION.

The worlds top 5 most disliked countries: 1. Israel 2. North Korea 3. Afghanistan 4. Iran 5. U.S. That will be Trump’s legacy.

How conventient for political journalists, to all be gathered in Downing Street once more, so they can interview each other, to ask "how did this happen?", without ever acknowledging that, at least in part, they themselves are how this happened.

Rather than a General Election, I think I'd favour a full investigation into Nigel Farage's finances.

Dear media, don't now spend days pondering how it's cone to this, it's already starting with one journalist marvellng at a PM stepping down because his party won a by-election. You've got what you wanted, the drama continues, stop treating our lives like a game show.

The media got their Starmer scalp, but Burnham and his mutinous pack of Labour MPs shouldn’t celebrate. Half of those plotters rode Starmer's coat-tails to get elected, only to stab him in the back. The media have their next target. Enjoy the honeymoon. #AndyBurnham

The media wouldn’t rest until they broke Starmer, and today they got their wish. Driven by endless press hounding and Burnham's sheer, arrogant ambition, we are losing a serious Prime Minister just to give the journalists a show. Disgraceful.

Disgraceful to see Keir Starmer hounded out like this after all the heavy lifting he’s done. The arrogance of Burnham to swagger back to Westminster today and force a resignation is breathtaking. History won't judge this self-serving political coup kindly. 🇬🇧 #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #BreakingNews

Because Trump started threatening Iran again (in violation of the MOU), the Iranians won’t negotiate with Vance. The US wanted a photo op, and Iran basically said fuck that bullshit.

The Iranian Foreign Minister makes Vance wait, then when he arrives he refuses to shake Vance’s hand or greet him. The US has never looked smaller or weaker on the world stage.

True but it’s also a country where Jeremy Clarkson gets paid a fortune to describe Gordon Brown as a ‘one-eyed Scottish idiot’ or fantasise about a crowd of thugs hurling excrement at a naked Duchess of Sussex. And where Dick Littlejohn gets called out for cruelty by a coroner at a suicide inquest.

Welch: Melania got $40 million to do a piece-of-shit documentary. She went out of her way to let the public know that she does not have sex with him. Every time Trump is around someone attractive—he seems to have a type: look at Zohran, the UFC fighter, or the Saudi prince—he can’t stop himself.

All those man-boys are just as pathetic as he is...

Ukraine disabled 3 ferries in the Kerch Strait + hit an oil refinery - the ferries were used to transport heavy vehicles The Kerch bridge isn't stable enough for heavy vehicles So fuel sales in Russian occupied Crimea have been suspended for civilians Day 1578 of Putin's 3 day special operation

Labour won by 20 points and net immigration is down by over 80% in two years. But sure write your column again.

BREAKING: Iran closing Strait of Hormuz over Israeli attacks on Lebanon

Iran says they close the Strait of Hormuz because Trump failed to prevent Israel from violating the cease-fire in Lebanon. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06...

Once again, it’s not the vetting that’s the problem. It’s Reform’s DNA that’s the problem. It’s a racist, misogynistic, far right party, led by a corrupt egomaniac funded by crypto/fossil fuel billionaires and christofascists. No one remotely decent would sign up. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

🔴 Reform’s toxic masculinity The party has attacked women’s rights and picked proud sexists as candidates - and it’s rightly paying the electoral price
