Nigel Farage told The Sun he can't be bought by anyone... He was literally bought and said 'Up the Ra' for £80.

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

Hopefully you've already read my cookbook review of Peckish by Ed Smith at KaveyEats.com? Courtesy of Quadrille I have one copy of the book to give away (UK only). #GIVEAWAY How to enter (split across next 3 posts in the thread)

See? Ffs. Bloody scarlets.

Putin persuaded Trump to compel Ukraine to accept a 3-day ceasefire for Russia's victory day. Trump claimed 1000 POW from each side would be exchanged. Zelensky accepted. Russia responded with 1,400 drones and ballistic missiles against civilians in 30 hours afterwards. No POW exchange so far. /1

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

Fucking great result for Cardiff rugby. We seem to be on another level when we play at home (unless it's the bloody scarlets who we can only beat away it seems).

I see Simon Heffer, in Michael Gove's Spectator, is once again repeating his lie that Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech wasn't about race.. I debated Heffer recently (at the Oxford Litfest) - here's what I said. archive.ph/bqKZF

As it happens I've been talking to friends who live in Budapest and an alarming amount of concerns they voice about my safety in London are the carbon copies of this

The far-right are going to have a cry about this...

I'm not much of a football fan but the US World Cup is shaping up to be the worst of all time. I won't be watching.

Well played sir. Of course, the dumb, low IQ moron won't realise he's being played.

This is comical…

Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit. The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos. This grifter must not become prime minister.

I've been making cannelloni but made a rookie error. I decided to parboil the tubes first because last time they were a little firm. BUT I forgot to add some oil to them after and a lot of them stuck together. I've done my best to rescue the situation but I'm still kicking myself. 😕

👇Remember the 'anti-english' ranting from andrew rt davies and the 'welsh' tories when the Senedd did this for Cymru.... Well, perhaps England is now being 'anti-welsh' then 🤔

Less than an hour after it broke that Nigel Farage spent £1.4m cash on a property soon after receiving a £5m personal donation he said was for "security", Wes Streeting resigns and shifts all the focus back onto a Labour leadership contest. Political mastermind

@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of Best for Britain: “Farage told us Brexit was the medicine, but the side effects made us sicker and, apparently, him richer - thanks to a £5m gift that could fund the average annual salary for the whole of his Clacton constituency almost twice over." Read more:

Does that include the £5mn?

Too right

Farage now insisting he is “not and has never been a crook”. Lucky there’s no political history of “I am not a crook” as a line of defence coming back to bite anyone.

Slow hand clap to Streeting, Farage eventually being exposed regarding his dodgy £5million and minutes later out pops Streetings resignation letter to take over the news cycle.

One of the largest drops in nhs waiting lists on record, which no one will now hear about. Opportunity cost from all the leadership turmoil www.england.nhs.uk/2026/05/heal...

Britain is a wealthy law-abiding country, with a long shared history, a vibrant civic society and robust institutions. It is not in any way ungovernable and suggesting it is lets the people who should be governing it off the hook.

That's it. I'm moving to Scotland #ReformUK

Anyone not calling it a wesignation is a coward

Well, that’s me reassured.

Lidl are currently selling some chilli crisp jars, one with cuttlefish and one with prawn. The cuttlefish one is, er, interesting. A bit niche for general use I feel.

Well what a surprise!

You would think that everyone would have got the memo after Brexit that voting for some hugely damaging thing in order to kick politicians out of complacency does not end well. But no.

Oh man, this is such an unfortunate series of coincidences for the Don't Call Them Racist Because That's Very Rude Party.

Looks like we're in for some proper rain today which I very much welcome for the plants if not so much for myself. We've hardly had any rain for ages. The current climate seems to be either perma-rain or no rain.

Wes Streeting leaving No 10.

Blimey I never knew Jacques Tati played for Racing 92!

a) this is disgustingly racist. b) Priest and Christian theologian here, and “Christian values” and indeed Christianity are absolutely not genetically transmitted. c) the only Christian society that has seriously tried to claim it is was Spain post-Reconquista, bc they were disgustingly racist.

Fundamentally, a lot of the problems in British politics comes from a political generation being forced to do something they think is a bad idea, to appease voters they think are wrong with beliefs they don't really understand.

Excellent comic timing

My phone just reminded me of this screengrab from 9 years ago, how timely

The Farage Defence Force.

Naz Shah mocks Reform UK's MPs and the far right, "(I am) the first ever Muslim to propose the loyal address in this chamber" "I must assure them, this is not a takeover" "But if seeing black and brown people on TV makes you feel sick, my speech is going to make you vomit"

Yes, nothing like telling everyone you’re a convicted criminal.

I have recycling caddies I use to put recycling in before transferring it to the big bags Cardiff Council provide. They stack neatly between my fridge and freezer. I have emptied them about 100 times. My son volunteered to do it yesterday. Today I found that he'd broken one of them. First time. 😒

BREAKING - Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will launch an investigation into Farage's £5m donation.

Something very striking in the fact the markets - and I know they're different markets - are freaking out about the idea of Andy Burnham as PM, but entirely blase about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and the fact we're about to run out of oil.

If this is true - and certainly it would be a welcome recognition of the politial, moral and economic damage these proposals would do - then the Prime Minister/government should simply come out and say that they are being withdrawn. archive.ph/NaJvy

What proportion of the population use Twitter or bluesky? Anecdotally is not very many people. My question is what sort of person is it swaying? I still think bloody Facebook is doing a far better job of recruiting reform voters.

Well, there’s the ad made.
