Ahhh. You can feel Spring in the air when the annual Cheltenham Festival pile up kicks off.

Good morning WÜlferhampton, have a fantastic Wednesday Hump Day you wonderful weird wagon wottsits

Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk? To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics The warnings are there for us all to see

No no no no no, and possibly no. According to him, he never said he'd cut taxes.

Been an awful week for Reform UK Ltd. Started with ‘gung ho’ support for the illegal Iranian war. Then as the polls came out and there was clearly no plan from the Americans, each member of Reform came out with different views and backtracks. Totally unfit to rule our country.

I see Starmer has cleaned the chamber again on a Wednesday.

This imported Trumpian tactic of politicians point blank denying blatant reality is a further degradation of our political discourse. In adopting this strategy, Badenoch isn't just damaging the Tories, she's damaging our democracy. #pmqs #politicslive

Her pathetic little "what are you talking about" will not deflect from her stupendous lack of judgement and ability. Perhaps in her 'plot' to reshuffle her front bench, she might want to consider a replacement for Leader of the Party? Although God knows who would replace her.

Vote Plaid then Greens.

Here's honest Nigel absolutely not being associated with a pledge to cut taxes. Oh, and any minute now Beth Rigby is going to realise she's being used as a door mat by Farage.

Originally, I thought bravo to the reporter who asked these questions. But now I'm thinking why anyone there didn't follow up with "Why haven't you seen it?", "Why don't you know enough about it?", "You're the Commander in Chief who instigated a war. You should be all over it".

Left: Nigel Farage's leaflet says Reform will cut taxes Right: Nigel Farage says he never said he would cut taxes

BREAKING: Nigel Farage confirms that he never campaigned to leave the EU and that his words were misquoted and misconstrued.

Nothing will annoy Trump more than being told that Israel have conned him and he's now Netanyahu's bitch.

Well, I, as a member of the public, would miss you my (soon to be ex) Lord if I'd ever heard of you.

Watch these Iranian hitmen magically turn into Cuban hitmen once Trump gets bored with Iran and turn his sights on Cuba.

I wonder if someone threatened to take away Trump's lifelong secret service protection, he'd be so bombastic about "Ah well. People die"?

The United States of America is the most supine Administrative District of Israel. Governor Trump is as loyal as they come to Bibi.

Anyone remember Arlene turning down the £1.5b bribe her party was given so that it could be spent on defence?

Farage and Badenoch are now using the patented Trump line of "I didn't say what I actually said".

Perfect summary of Reform's hypocrisy. We need a lot more accountability like this.

Publicly, world leaders should be urging Trump to stop. Privately, they should either be threatening to release what they know about his involvement with Epstein, or passing it on to people who can bring him down.

It's the same bullshit argument Netanyahu has been using for years.

Expect a raft of racist bullshit over the next few weeks. Farage and Reform are plummeting after being (at last) scrutinised a little. Chris Mason and Question Time will do all they can to help them out.

The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Hang on. Didn't Jenrick say there are important issues to be dealt with at home? Perhaps this is the start of Jenrick's putsch to oust Farage?

Next up: Iranian terrorists start attacking within America. Trump calls a state of emergency. Elections cancelled.

Apparently the American administration are ‘surprised’ at Iran’s response??? They did not expect such strong retaliatory strikes from Iran? The most stupid administration in American history.

Well, who would have thought a child would behave like a big kid!

Happy Monday wonderful peeps.

What are they on at Telegraph HQ?!

In order to distract you from: Farage not visiting his constituency in order to shove his head up Trump's arse again, Reform being happy to sacrifice UK military personnel on an illegal war, ....they're proposing wasting more tax money on another pointless bout of flag shagging.

Everyone knows who and what Reform UK stand for: ⚫️ The wealthy few. ⚫️ Scrapping international human rights protections. ⚫️ And privatising the NHS in favour of an insurance-based system. The worrying part is that some still think it’s worth it because they believe immigration will be stopped.

But they're definitely not a reincarnation of the 1930s German fascists.

The rise of fascism is a global movement, it owes nothing to national boundaries or democracy but everything to (white)wealth and power. Farage and Reform Ltd. will never be on the side of hard working people. He will sell the UK in a heartbeat. #bbclaurak

I can confidently state that Farage is definitely not 'open to anything' re replacing the NHS. He'd instigate whatever his wealthy backers could make more money on.

I couldnt give a flying f**k what the unburst orange pustule will or will not accept, unless its a free ticket to Dignitas.

The UK MUST NOT(!) follow this bloody idiot by putting troops on the ground, no matter how much the rabid right scream for it.

I hope he told him to "keep your gob shut or I'll release my intelligence service's report on what we know about you".

I am so excited to announce my book "Who Cares About Wales" will be out this Friday! What is even more exciting is the reviews. When you pour a year of work into 95,000 words you start to question if what you have written is any good. 1/3

Dear Mr Bessent, If you needed Spain to help keep American lives safe, why did you start this war without checking with them first? You knob!

The search for me in Clacton enters its 87th week.

Boris Johnson says Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage...

Who to believe, a NATO commander or Badenoch, the Fagash Fuhrer and sundry far right puerile hacks?

That's not a meteor. The Necromancers have arrived just in time to destroy the planet.

This is, objectively, the most hilarious thing I've seen on the socials today, and I've seen that Starmer/Military TikTok clip.

Yep, obvious to all Welsh Speakers, and the fact that they haven't even bothered to check shows the absolute contempt they have for Wales its language and its culture.

The Spanish language ESPN call of Carré’s try is, predictably, absolutely top notch.
