👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly." "With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this." "I blame you for that."

The empty horror of Robert Jenrick iandunt.substack.com/p/the-empty-...

Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

Big presence on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 too.

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

In 2037 it'll release a bargain-basement knock-off first-person-shooter in which the NPCs say how great Hitler was.

The scoping exercise by HMRC is said to be focused on tax residency and the business affairs of George Cottrell, whom Farage has described as “like a son to me”. Known as “Posh George”, Cottrell leads an expensive lifestyle and regularly using a £4m house in one of the wealthiest areas of London

The Opposition and the party that’s leading in the polls literally have policies more extreme than the BNP 20 years ago

I’m old enough to remember when a comment like this would have been a resigning matter…

Coverage of Jenrick today basically amounts to sane-washing. He didn't criticise judges. He claimed there was a conspiracy by certain judges, who he had discovered and could number, to undermine British law and create open borders.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Every post from the Tory conference just makes me sad. Like watching a destitute clown begging for pennies.

At some point, an important function of the Conservative Party as it used to be has gone into reverse. What used to happen is that hard-right but bright MPs were given responsibilities as junior ministers and taught that slogans were all very well but governing involved the real world…

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Tbilisi, 🇬🇪 — thousands have taken to the streets right now and are marching toward the presidential palace.

Western countries cannot be certain why Russia has ramped up its poking and prodding. But part of the explanation might lie with America’s president

Feels like this is one of those things that could have quite serious repercussions - how can this have slipped through?

There is a key moral distinction between immigration policy on new arrivals, no matter how draconian, and on people who have already been granted status, on set conditions. It is about being a country that keeps its word. If we're not that, we might as well fucking give up now.

Almost two in three Labour members would back Burnham as leader Starmer made poor policy choices Two child benefit cap. Winter fuel payment fiasco. Disability benefit cuts. Sticking to Tory income tax thresholds. No curbs on energy/water profiteering. Return of PFI. No end to political corruption

In May 2014, the Charles formerly known as Prince said privately that by invading Ukraine and occupying Crimea, Putin was doing "just about the same thing as Hitler" Nigel Farage was outraged by this statement, saying it wasn't fair on the Russian President, deploying his "poked with a stick" line

An extraordinary Telegraph article from 2014 that reminds us where Nigel Farage stood on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Mr Putin 16 years ago.
