Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

According to Reform, calling a public figure "the unflushable poo, he is the irremovable skid mark on the Y-fronts of British politics" is hate speech.

Please, please, please let this story make the print edition…

JD Vance is telegraphing that he is going to run as an antiwar candidate in 2028, based around a Dolchstoßlegende that absurdly blames Israel for being the sole cause of the Iran War. And that is going to awaken levels of antisemitism in the US that we have not seen in decades.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social 'Other countries don't seem to be as anti-England these days..' Edinburgh, yesterday:

Good. This sort of behaviour is disgusting. Whoever it’s aimed at. It will, less importantly, also be interesting to see how his fans square it with their bogus ‘free speech’ rhetoric & Reform’s canonisation of the despicable Lucy Connelly.

It would be v helpful for politicians to agree not to use language vs opponents they would object to being used vs them Yusuf saying these are OK words to target Reform MPs with is silly & ofc he would object to thst

The key to understanding why Farage can't shrug off scandal like Trump does...

It’s all about the kayfabe… liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/462...

BREAKING: World Exclusive Football Story (with a very tangential link to Jude Bellingham).

Massive* Exclusive** from the world of football coming up on today’s show!!! *not really that massive **not exactly exclusive

Definitely the best way to keep Iran from charging a toll on the Strait of Hormuz is for the USA (illegally) to start charging a toll itself. This is real hyper-brilliance on the downslope of American decline.

Russia is inflaming the debate on immigration in Britain as part of “increasing ambitions to disrupt our way of life”, counter-terror police and experts say It has directly and indirectly paid right-wing influencers to spread messages that align with its political goals inews.co.uk/news/putin-i...

April 2024 - Nigel Farage ‘gifted’ £5 million from Christopher Harborne. SIX MONTHS LATER - September 2024 - Nigel references Kier Starmer’s acceptance of a gift of new glasses, all the time having £5 million in his back pocket! H/t @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Just looked this column up after hearing @mrjamesob.bsky.social bringing it up on his show and it's worth your time

You back? I was hoping they would give the job to Jenrick full time.

Did I miss much?

This @mrjamesob.bsky.social Full Disclosure with Marcus Brigstocke is incredibly eye opening and very touching. Well worth the watch. It's utterly astonishing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UWW...

Wowsers. This is a must see.

Very proud. 😊

Me phoning in to @lbc.co.uk tomorrow when Honest Bob Jenrick is standing in for @mrjamesob.bsky.social

So after several years of being perhaps his most tireless critic, I find myself wary of celebrating his disappearance too soon. (Written on my sun lounger. Will not be sending pics.)

He has lost it. Gone mad.

So who bought all the houses?

The pub thing was reported at the time.

Oh get on with it, you whining coward.

Just filed a column about Farage. Might need a rewrite…

It’s obvious when you spot it. inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Well - it is here. Timed for the International Day of the Seafarer. Available on Kindle Unlimited or for purchase (digital only at the moment I am afraid). Thank you for your support - and please keep thinking of those still trapped in the Gulf at this time. #Booksky #Geopolitics #HormuzCrisis

It sets out actions to make our city more resilient, including: 🔴 Retrofitting homes at the highest risk of overheating 🔴 More tree cover and green spaces 🔴 More safe access to blue spaces such as swimming 🔴 Support for our health system 🔴 Strengthening critical infrastructure

As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.

I thought kick off was later and I’m sad I somehow missed it but that’s a great result for Scotland.

You missed it! They won comfortably…

Scotland beating Brazil would be among the most magnificent moments in the history of British football. But I’m still going to struggle to stay up/not die of heat stroke…

Excellent & important move.

Djed Spence, the first Muslim man to play football for England, refused to shake hands with alleged rapist Thomas Partey last night. Nigel Farage, self-appointed saviour of ‘Judeo-Christian values’, described alleged rapist Andrew Tate as ‘an important voice’ for men young men a couple of years ago.
