It is a truth too often unacknowledged, that a populist in possession of the public's rage must be in perpetual want of an enemy.

Boats, vilifying people entering and claiming asylum legally, as a wedge in the door. Then the net suddenly includes everyone - your friend, neighbours, those caring for you etc. Farage and his ilk are repulsive and dangerous. Immigration isn't the problem it keeps the wheels turning. #ukpolitics

Trump’s plan to re-occupy Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan - announced in London - is going to require a mini-invasion, Reuters reports - 10,000 military personnel and significant air defences. This from the man who negotiated a US withdrawal from Afghanistan in his first term. Complete shambles.

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle. Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

Of course I wouldn't share this image. So glad the alleged perpetrators have been arrested to preserve the freedom of speech in this country.
