Lads. You've invented Rumbelows.

Very odd how Matt Goodwin was the first person in his family to go to university when his father has a PhD and a MBA. No doubt his downward mobility is because of woke.

Excellent on the howling unsuitability of Matt Goodwin to be a Manchester MP… or indeed an MP anywhere at all. But that’s Reform for you. Frothing racists and needy inadequates demanding support from a voting public that doesn’t deserve any of their shit. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How long does everyone imagine it’s going to take Liz Truss to shamble her way over to Reform? Because she’s obviously next, right?

Chris Mason is untouchable. I regularly complain to the BBC about his love of reform, all you get is a long reply about #farageriots making the ‘political weather’. Whatever that means

Chris Mason has described recent defectors to reform as “big beasts”… they’re nothing of the sort. The tories were trounced at the last election and Braverman and Jenrick were fully wedded to the failures of austerity and Brexit. I hope the English won’t forget their mendacity.

It will be an awkward first day for some!

Reform Councillor slammed after tweeting 'I stand with ICE' after fatal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti Joseph Boam, 22, tweeted a graphic of the US Department of Homeland Security with the words 'I Stand With Ice' on Sunday afternoon. www.lbc.co.uk/article/ice-...

Chris Mason says he's known Suella Braverman for 25 years. Perhaps that explains why he thinks her defection shows the momentum is with Reform. A more likely explanation is that he's talking bollocks. She is toxic and a vote loser.

The Telegraph showing the BBC how craven bootlicking should be done

I've been pretty hard on the Tories in the past but I can't deny they're doing a massive service to the country making Reform unelectable by filling it with Tories.

With Suella Braverman defection parliamentary, the Reform party now has 8 MPs. Of those: FIVE are former Tory MPs ONE is a former Tory mayor

Have they also unveiled their new logo?

Give it a couple of weeks & he’ll announce Truss & Johnson.

The Telegraph just released a video talking about the EU's aims to become a superpower, and er, they have the UK as members...

And again , Reform voters will believe that they can have a free, private , health provision for about £25 a month ! The NHS obscures the real cost of treatment , it doesn’t say ‘no pre existing conditions’ & it doesn’t say pay more as you age ! They just swallow this crap .

Bayeux Tapestry coming to Britain From the new Private Eye, out now.

Laura Kuenssberg calls the current Burnham/Starmer issue a “car crash” yet never used such a phrase when the Tories went through three different Prime Ministers in less than two months #BBCLauraK

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

I see also that “he was talking about NATO troops, not British ones” is now the new “it’s a Roman salute”.

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed. As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

Selling Europe out to Trump and attending Davos in the pay of an Iranian billionaire – who does Nigel Farage work for exactly? Is it the people of Clacton?

This could be a big moment for Farage. His only comment so far has been insipid, saying that what Trump said was "not quite fair". I'm not sure that anything short of publicly repudiating his friendship with Trump will play well with many of his supporters. Meanwhile, Labour should press the bruise.

Trump has really angered Starmer. PM had to toughen his language after initial No10 reaction was criticised as not strong enough by families of UK forces killed in Afghanistan. Govt realised it's out of step with public opinion. Even Farage has criticised Trump. Beyond the pale

Apart from anything else there are no penguins in Greenland. Unless he’s invading the South Pole too….

What a fantastic tracks of my years that was this week by #johnpower on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social not only great songs but he came across really genuine

Armed forces minister Al Carns says comments about NATO troops not serving in Afghanistan are ‘utterly ridiculous’ ‘I served tours... many alongside my American colleagues, we shed blood sweat and tears together’

Trump senior had more than enough money to either pay to have young Donald’s bone spurs sorted out, or to bribe his way into the military. Fact is that young Donald was and remains a spoilt gutless draft dodger. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A vignette... I remember at SeaWorld in Orlando in around 2013, the announcer at one of the shows asked all veterans to stand up. Cue huge applause. And then the announcer asked all veterans from America's allies to stand up. And the applause was even louder. That was rather moving.

That feeling when you fly all the way to Davos to see Trump, make a speech about why the tangerine turd should invade a NATO ally, only to find that he won’t see you and completely chickens out of his threats about Greenland.

I suspect brave Nige will be "feeling a bit under the weather" and unable to attend the next interview he was down for.

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Not a word of condemnation from Nigel Farage or his Reform brown shirts. Not one one world. “Patriotic” my backside.

This is what worries me most at home. The instincts and views of any Reform-Tory govt are so totally at odds with the public, so outlandish to the median voter, as to make government and even the very ability to govern impossible. (1/2)

Farage has no cultural hinterland. Furthermore, it is very rare for children at private schools to leave at 16. Behind his fake loveable scamp image is a rather dim philistine.

Someone sent this to me earlier. It's a genuine Farage quote from 2015 and boy does that not say it all about the defender of British culture.

This should become an election campaign poster for Labour/Libdems/Greens/SNP.

news.sky.com/story/i-was-... President bonespurs the draft dodging grossly disrespectful orange toddler, what a disgrace to the USA this specimen is #trump

Conservative councillors across the country claim they are receiving offers to defect to Reform UK👀 Alleged offers include: 🔻Senior roles on the council 🔻Parliamentary selection 🔻Funding

Funny how BBC fail to cover Farage failing to declare hundreds of thousands of pounds, yet if a Labour MP fails to cover their mouth while coughing, it is front page news. The decline in standards and overt right wing bias needs taking on directly.

The Greatest Story Ever Told

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Ice Cold In The Far North: my SKETCH of PMQs and Donald Trump. thecritic.co.uk/ice-...

Karoline Leavitt is denying that Trump mixed up Greenland and Iceland multiple times during his speech today.

Once again after an hour long racist rant full of lies by the US president the Times writes another of its “ say what you like about Trump but…’ editorials. If the paper ever had a moral compass it’s lost it

Thank goodness I'm not Angela Raynor, otherwise the press would have hounded me out of office.

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.
