So exhausting..

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

I know why. Before, we tried science. Now, we’re giving nonsense a shot.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Maria Ressa, "By design, social media platforms spread lies six times faster. If laced with fear, anger, hate, it goes viral. They change the way we vote" This is how they got Brexit over the line in 2016

You need to watch this NOW. I promise you will feel much better. I promise you will experience hope. And joy. #ChooseLove

“Our civil rights unit is going to take yours away.”

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Tell me what “1984” is about, without mentioning Big Brother.

Clarkson is “mischievously” blaming “the left” for murder. It’s all a bit of harmless banter to him, innit? Use the opportunity to blame someone outside the bag of rats the victim seemed to inhabit. What a role model our “Jezza” is.

There are one or two questions about Nigel Farage's tax affairs. Some reports say he deliberately avoided stamp duty, others are less sure. I just wonder whether the truth is being witheld from us. I don't know the answer to that, but it is a fair and legitimate question.

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

"So, the very same day free speech champion Nigel Farage denied banning critical journalists from his events, his team did exactly that. "In theory, this could be more than just painfully ironic for Farage. Evidence sessions to Congressional committees are given under oath…"

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

One protester said she loved the country, “Just not its people, its government, its policies, its cities, its suburbs, its taxes, its laws, its restaurants, its internet, its cyclists, its TV shows, its direction or its culture. Although I do quite like Yum Cha on a Sunday with the family”

Today Nick Ferrari asked if treaties like the ECHR & the Refugee Convention that were drawn up in the wake of WWII are still relevant to modern Britain. I said the context of racial hatred towards Muslim immigrants now echoes the hatred of Jewish immigrants in the 20th century. We need these laws.

Migrants to Australia have displayed an inability to assimilate with local values and refuse to speak anything but their native tongue, a study covering the last 237 years has found.

This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Excellent. Depressing and realistic but excellent.

The Trump administration is running Russian-style active measures…in Greenland www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Better than Reform" is an appallingly low bar by which to rate the quality of Labour. It's like accepting a horrible restaurant because at least it doesn't give you food poisoning bad enough to put you in hospital. We MUST demand more. Much, much more.

"Asylum seekers should not be allowed to work!" "Asylum workers should not be subsidised at the public expense!" - and loop.

Just a reminder that immigrants are good for society and the economy. https://youtu.be/LCl9-uaKzv8?feature=shared

Excellent piece by @sundersays.bsky.social on the need to address the "legitimate concerns" of many British people - about the growth of open racism and ethnonationalism in the British political class and media. www.easterneye.biz/british-ethn...

Morning. ☕️

Name a poorly rated movie you love. #filmsky

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state. 2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible. www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

A man whose life (or at least his Mar-a Lago club) was ruined (or at least moderately inconvenienced) by human trafficking has spoken out, saying the fact that young women were stolen by a paedophile from his organisation was devastating. For him.

Say ‘wattage’ one more time.

If it were not for the metric system, this would be an Astronomer Quarter-pounder.

If you’re an immigrant, be proud of it. You’ve navigated different cultures & systems. This gave you life experience & perspective. It’s a cool thing to have happened for your development. Some may hate you for it but that’s their loss. Feel deserving of the personal growth bonus that it gives you.

When you strip away humanity

It'd only be news if Johnson was ashamed of doing something.

Forget about what year it is. What century is it? nashvillebanner.com/2025/07/20/d...

Kristi Noem lied about this multiple times in press conferences & TV appearances. This confirms the 3 day delay was solely caused by her. It’s an absurdity that the person who leaves govt is this man & not her stupid, incompetent cosplaying ass traveling with her (alleged) lover.

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.
