Cat names should evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history 75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men Is this what democracy looks like? New on Democracy for Sale democracyforsale.substack.com/p/75-of-refo...

The only problem with blaming the “botched Brexit deal” for the small boats crisis, is it plays into the smirking dimwit’s hands. Reform just say, “Yes. Let’s do Brexit properly. Slam the door on the ECHR. Burn everything down.” We should close that down. Brexit - no qualification - is a shitshow.

this story isn’t going away www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper

Peter will be joining me on air at 11.45.

Farage has now boycotted the BBC - THREE times - in a little over a year... Including his latest today. Why, therefore, is Zia Yusuf on ##bbcqt tonight?

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

Zack Polanski, "Margaret Thatcher said there's no such thing as society and then the Tories over 14 years shut the community centres down" "How do you expect people to integrate when they have nowhere to gather together?"

Absolutely insane to me that GB News retains its broadcasting license. It's BNP TV.

Zia Yousef smirking and appearing to be trying to stop himself laughing whilst Daisy Cooper talks about asylum seeking women facing rape and trafficking. From the party that purports to care deeply about women’s rights. #bbcqt

Zack Polanski, "Labour are a government of cowards because you won't tell people the truth about migration" "Migration is a positive thing for our country" "We need migration" "We need fair and managed migration" "And that's what will change this conversation" *huge clap* #BBCQT

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I'm wishing you the very best for the tail end of your week.

Cute little Sprout gets his own step stool. Beside him is his very best friend Oswald - they are always together!

Zia Yusuf - the unelected multimillionaire policy chief of Reform - makes his fourth Question Time appearance tonight. The party has five MPs

Reform UK are raising Council Tax across the country. They claim they didn’t formally pledge to reduce it. The graphic attached shows exactly what they campaigned on during the Local Elections. ‘Council tax rise cannot be ruled out, says Reform’ giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Next time Reform claim to be something different, remember this.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says: "The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order." That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories. How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Andy Burnham said Tice and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage were both "creatures of the London establishment" and he was not "surprised in the slightest" to hear of their opposition to the Northern Powerhouse Rail link.

It’s my last show of the tour tonight! If you’re anywhere near Brighton come along and have a laugh! 7pm start at @forgecomedyclub.bsky.social. See you there! forgecomedyclub.co.uk

The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

It takes a special kind of right-wing British political party to literally sell black shirts. Are you going to tell them? Or shall I?

Black Friday: A cursed day where every business I have ever bought anything from in the last decades sends me an email.
