Nigel Farage is running the bizarre line again on Today that he "wasn't in politics" when he stuffed £5 million down his trousers from a crypto-billionaire. He literally owned a political party.

Left-wing people on Bluesky: Burnham will just be Starmer with a different accent Right-wing press: The Bolsheviks are coming! Bury your jewellery!

Says the most professional of professional politicians. Leader of not 1, not 2 but 3 political parities and before that he was a Tory. Stood 8 times for parliament and served 5 terms in the European Parliament. Farage is the establishment. Never let him tell you otherwise.

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out f thin air simply tO protect one man from his own embarrassing failure. There is no sabotage. This is insane.

British PM: Vacant James Bond: Vacant Doctor Who: Vacant If the King disappears in the next couple of weeks I think we may sink into the ocean.

Former DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is a paedophile, a jury has unanimously found: Guilty on all 18 counts, including rape of a primary school girl. Judge says jail is "inevitable" and ex-MP immediately remanded into custody. Full breaking coverage:

I've had 2 journalists today asking if Miliband as Chancellor would be a "Liz Truss moment" and find it difficult not to just respond "are you on crack?".

Soon we’ll get to find out what Elon thinks about Andy Burnham, a man he’ll discover exists about 30 seconds before he posts.

Picture of Burnham outside number 10 with the headline “Coronation Street”, there’s your goal tabloids

Global markets, ageing societies, huge demands and expectations of the state particularly in the UK, France, and Germany, these are defeating far better political operators than Starmer. Let's see how Burnham tackles them now... bsky.app/profile/davi...

Don't think Streeting could've got to 81 nominations. Pretty certain no one else can. So that's that. Transition sometime in mid-to-late July.

Keir Starmer was never a politician by career or instinct. Psychological distance from Westminster enabled his rise to the UK’s highest office, but it also exposed the flaws that have forced him from the job after less than two years. ft.trib.al/UUhTmft

Elon Musk keeps killing people but remember, he is very rich.

This sums up the immigration debate neatly in a way you won't hear it spelled out in the British media. A media which seems to have given up on any commitment to educate many years ago.

There used to be some grifter on the Telegraph whose grift was that climate change wasn't happening, around 2007, and I wonder if that grifter still does that grift, or just moved onto another one

Whenever I go to the US, as I did last week, I can't get past the army of destitute, homeless people who parade through - and then bed down in - every city. There is a scale of human misery, degradation and severe mental illness unlike anything I've ever seen in Europe. Then there's the guns ...

Disgusting behaviour. No one deserves abuse like this, when posting about their own late father, on father's day. People who behave like this should be ashamed of themselves.

If unstopped, the trillionaires will eventually have no choice but to take everything from you, your children and your grandchildren. Here's how it happens (and how to stop them). youtu.be/Gd0gmxd36FI

For Fathers' Day, Keir Starmer posts a photo of his own father, who died in 2018, and a non-political message. The replies are a torrent of vitriol & cruelty, all with hundreds of Likes. We complain a lot about the quality of leadership, but there's a huge problem with the way we treat politicians

Humanoid robots are joining the Dragon Boat Festival fun in China's Sichuan province. The holiday has been celebrated for over 2,000 years.

It's 2040. Net emigration is 2 million a year. The elderly are dying in the beds without care. The NHS is on the verge of collapse. Matthew Syed and Camilla Long write weekly columns about how the left won't talk about immigration.

Labour won by 20 points and net immigration is down by over 80% in two years. But sure write your column again.

Took this video of a guy getting detained and a citation for putting his hand in the water an hour ago.

Net migration has almost halved in a year.

If the bloke wielding a knife and attacking passersby was a Muslim all today's rolling news and political programmes would be coming live from the streets of Edinburgh and Farage's ugly mush would be on every show.

How difficult would it be, really, to put him in a Truman Show style simulation, where he still thinks he is in charge?

You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House. The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

"No Ukrainian socialists, trade unionists, feminists or LGBTQ+ activists have been invited to speak at this conference. Our voices — the voices of those resisting imperialism, fighting for social justice, and living this war — are absent." ukrainesolidaritycampaign.org/2026/06/19/o...

A shirtless white man, in the street with a knife in his hand, having attacked and wounded five people, allegedly shouting anti-Muslim slogans is the sixth story on the BBC UK news page. There is absolutely no doubt at all this would be the lead story if attacker and intended victims were reversed.

50 minutes after Steve's post, it's still the case that the news of the Edinburgh stabbings is more than halfway down the very long BBC homepage in London, placed as an "Around the UK" story

Four people in hospital after knife attacks in Edinburgh. An arrest made. BBC report say man shouted about "protecting the country". Sone signs the attacks near a mosque at petrol station & pizzeria may have had anti-Muslim or anti-migrant/minority motives (tbc) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Free speech: going just great

Interesting that you can now get sent off for covering your mouth. Can we now also have red cards for players who cover their face when they haven't been hit in the face?

Elon Musk is one of the scariest men alive. He should be deported from the U.S. for lying on immigration docs in the 1990s and never again allowed in this country. On the same day he whined about being called a Nazi, he reposted what sure sounds like a call for racial genocide.

You couldn’t make The Office now, because almost everyone who worked on the original thinks Ricky Gervais is a cunt.

Do you think the press is this clueless? Did they really not see a strong Burnham win coming? Or did they push the version of events they themselves favoured? They’re not impartial. They decide who to promote, who to shun, who to scrutinise and who to wave through. They influence rather than report.

It's a mystery how she only lasted six weeks

Morning. I'm telling you now that the new official "FIFA" game is the worst football video game of all-time, to the point of being disturbing. unexpecteddelirium.substack.com/p/the-new-fi...

Thank you, Bill. And all like you.

Actually, they call him a Nazi because he repeatedly gave a Nazi salute on national TV, is trying to start a race war in Europe, and is partially responsible for 14 million deaths due to his interference in the U.S. government. For all that, no one wants him hurt, just indicted.

A love letter of sorts to the dream that was the reflecting pool. It was supposed to cost $1.5 million or $15 million. Biden or maybe Obama probably both of them spent $100 million to try to fix it. It was going to be American Flag Blue a dark blue color and be wonderful.

It’s just as well the guy *looks* legit, otherwise people might have some reasonable concerns

It's kind of funny that the Telegraph people and Novara people are unironically friends Could make a sitcom on that premise

Trump’s Iran deal puts the U.S. back where it was before the war, except Iran gets $400 billion

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

With analytical skills like this it's a wonder his academic career came to such a premature end

I think it’s impossible, short of triggering a nuclear strike against the UK, to surpass Liz Truss as the “worst ever”.

Britain is a progressive country. Reform under scrutiny at by-elections fold. 75% of the British public loathe Farage and Tice etc. Here are the results of the last 6 by-elections Reform have contested…

Interesting to note that Reform thought Burnham’s majority last night was going to be 2,000 & Restore were telling everyone their vote would be 10% which are more signs they don’t have a fucking clue what they’re doing
