"We generally wait for a court case". Actually, we don't. The crime comes first, then the court case to decide responsibilities. That's how it works... Surely, real, vile, dangerous anti-Semitism lies in conflating the crimes of the State of Israel with the everyday lives of ordinary Jewish people?

🚨 NEW from @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social Britain backs Binface 🚨 When asked who they would prefer win the Clacton by-election... 33% say Count Binface 21% say Nigel Farage 32% say neither 13% are undecided

So they're all taking this really well

This illustrates a really seismic shift in UK politics: that much of the British Right now talks, thinks & argues in the same online space as the American Right. That's pulling it to a politics of faith, flags & firearms with little in common with traditional 'Toryism' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For all his well-documented political failings, by far Keir Starmer's most egregious - and stomach-turning - failure is his complete lack of humanity in the face of the genocide in Gaza. It is this more than anything else that should haunt him to grave. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXxH...

<scratches head> Because we aren’t foreign born? Maybe that’s why? Just a thought.

Funny how so many of the main character "We're protecting women & children!" white nationalists end up protecting rapists and paedophiles, and obstructing justice for the women and children who have been their victims...

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

"I want killing fields that would make Hirohito blush in envy." How on earth has Kai Stephens not been arrested and charged with racial incitement?!?

The supposed free speech absolutist censors checkable facts from being shared.

Police are investigating a donation given to Robert Jenrick's Conservative leadership campaign in 2024. Investigation launched after referral from the UK Electoral Commission. This year Jenrick defected to Reform UK.

Grateful to the Telegraph for providing the definitive answer to its own question, albeit in quite small letters.

Just seen #HowToGetFilthyRich with @garyseconomics.bsky.social ? Want to help us win a Wealth Tax? Well with a new PM incoming & public pressure at fever pitch, this is our moment. Make sure the first thing on Burnham's desk is a demand for a #WealthTax! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Mark Rutte is an embarrassment. The idea that the US under Donald Trump is a reliable ally is laughable. October 2028 can't come soon enough.

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

Israel's understanding of a ceasefire: killing civilians with complete impunity

Another heatwave on the way, and BBC News is still doing everything in its editorial power not to mention climate change as the cause.

Story breaking now about Richard Tice and Reform.

So the Clacton by-election is going to be a run-off between a clown solely interested in media attention via cheap stunts who plays a cartoon villain for social media idiots without the slightest interest in representing Clacton or doing the work of a parliamentarian... and Count Binface?

On my way, Clacton.

Game on, Nige.

Calling a by-election over the sovereign right of every MP to take secret gifts from a convicted criminal. What a time to be alive.

Farage will actually have to go to Clacton now

The tactic is clear: Bulldoze the various investigations into his finances. Recapture the limelight just as Burnham becomes Prime Minister. Win a likely victory to try and regain momentum for Reform UK after a rocky two months.

This is... weird. The money Farage received was a "personal gift", akin to a "lottery win"... but it also shows he knows how to "make money" and succeed in business and therefore belongs in government

As predicted, Farage is doing his Poundland Trump act. He is, and always will be, an opportunist grifter. While there's money to be made, he will never surrender power voluntarily.

I notice the people who kicked off at Burnham not taking questions at his Manchester speech are silent about the press not even being in allowed in the room for Farage's.

Hang it in the Musée Magritte.

In one chapter of his book entitled 'The Art of the Bribe', Nigel Farage donor and convicted fraudster George Cottrell describes how politicians can be bought www.ft.com/content/7a0f...

Congratulations to Donald Trump, his wretched minions, Giani Infantino, and his wretched minions at FIFA, for being so shamelessly corrupt that it inspired Belgium to dish out a well-deserved drubbing to USMNT. Everything you touch turns to 💩

They are trying to force some universities into bankruptcy. Total madness. Remember - they have pledged more money to a privately owned theme park than they‘re going to spend on the teaching grant.

New World Cup rule: if games aren't as exciting as Mexico vs England was by halftime, there's no second half and they go straight to penalties.

I really appreciate the headline here. I think studies need to be done on the CEO brain, do they think we're all very stupid, or do they have no grasp of reality at all? My bet is on a mix of both.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage threatens a Sky News journalist who asks about his undeclared gifts from convicted criminal George Cottrell "You harass my family anymore, there will be serious consequences"

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Keir Starmer's comms operation, again and again and again and again:

Fun!

Presumably Keir Starmer is on the blower to Infantino and FIFA this morning, and Jarell Quansah's red card will be 'suspended' in time for Norway on Saturday night.

Devonians were horrified to learn last week of plans for a massive AI data centre near Great Torrington, north Devon. The proposals from company XLinks Ltd would cover 850 acres of farmland. But who owns the land? I decided to investigate. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People who opted to watch the replay at 7am should have to sit through an hour’s rain delay because they couldn’t be arsed to stay up. #VoteBinface #MEXENG

Harry Kane won the match, but lost his voice, and is now giving an interview sounding like an 80-year-old who smoked 10.packets of fags daily. 🤣

the brits are screaming wonderwall in the azteca. god is dead

BIG DAN BURN. JON OF THE STONE MEN. GUEHI THE WALL OF GRANITE. MEXICO, YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Bellingham is out on his feet!

Taking Harry Kane off? Yikes.
