Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

Old couple down the road have got the most gratuitously oversized telly I've ever seen. It must be 90in. When I'm walking dog on the other side of the road I can read the news ticker running along the bottom of the screen. It's the Burgess Hill IMAX.

Once again, I ask, in good faith & without trying to be overly alarmist, what anyone has seen in the last year to make them believe that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & democratic by any traditional meaning of the words?

"I know you've covered [company name withheld] for many decades now," PR tells me, as I thumb through the Oxford English for a definition of the word "many" and dolefully concede she's right.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

Not being the Tories is what got Starmer elected in the first place. He's nuts if he thinks not being Reform is going to be enough to win the next election, but that appears to be his strategy.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

With the US president saying Nato/British troops stayed "off the front line" in Afghanistan, Nigel Farage won't want British voters being reminded that he called Donald Trump "the bravest man I have ever met."

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

So the actual story here is hospital waiting times are improving, but you’d never know it from the BBC coverage. Today just spent five minutes focusing on areas where waiting times are lengthening too. Reminder: I’m not a Labour voter.

Visited the dentist. Asked him how he is. "Living the dream," he replied. Ten minutes later he's repaired a filling, dabbed some jollop on my gums and charged me £250. No wonder he's living the bloody dream.

It’s good that Elon Musk has backed down in the face of consequences. But he must still be held to account for what he is: a purveyor of child pornography.
