Off the scale cowardice from Tapp here. These are people who grovel at Caligula's feet. And please don't tell me this is skilful pursuit of the national interest. It's in no country's national interest to abuse yourself before a predatory gangster state.

The US invades Greenland. Starmer: 'We are still gathering all the facts but the UK was not involved.' Macron: 'France remains vigilant.' Von der Leyen: ' We call for restraint and for international law to be respected.'

Siri. Show me a GIF of the US/UK special relationship.

God almighty, this man is an insufferable coward. Or should I say lackey?

The president of the government that did this just got the 'Fifa peace prize'. Why? Because Fifa is a corrupt and cowardly organisation that shamefully grovels before power and money.

Interesting this latest Farage revelation. An 18 year old boy would spot a 9 year old Nigerian boy and tell him 'the way back to Africa' and then seek him out repeatedly to repeat the same racist humiliation...to a boy half his age! That is not 'banter'. It's vicious, racist bullying.

Cannot express how disgusting this is Fuck Trump Fuck Infantino Fuck Fifa Fuck the World Cup Fuck this evil fascistic world we are building and the greed, corruption, stupidity an d sheer malice that has made it possible🤮🤮🤮

Can't help thinking that the juxtaposition of message and image is somehow symptomatic of the mess we're in.

Really sorry to see poor Nigel being victimised by the evil lefty BBC yet again. I mean, who hasn't been a vindictive little Nazi in their teens?

My piece on Mosley-Farage's teenage Nazi wasteland and why it matters. open.substack.com/pub/mattcarr...

I have many criticisms of the BBC, but Prisoner 951 is just the most devastating and moving drama. As unflinching an indictment of British gov duplicity as it is of the tyranny and cruelty of the Iranian regime. An extraordinary tribute to the courage of the Zaghari- Radcliffes and also to

If you want to know why Reform is coming, read this typically incisive dissection of Alison Pearson's latest column by the indispensable Mic Wright.

The MAGA rolling in the gutter. The corruption is so brazen. Out in the b open and arrogantly in your face. A gaping moral void filled with the very worst people American society could find. They would pimp their own mothers if the pedophile racist demanded it.

Unless someone in the Treasury reassures the markets pretty soon, there’s every chance the UK will need to raise *more* tax for less in return. Total clusterfuck in the making, this. Having a budget fall apart more than a week before it’s actually be delivered might be a new record.

Watching Labour is like watching a ship being tossed too and fro by a storm that consists entirely of rightwing op eds, focus groups and Reform outlets. No evidence of where it wants to go or how it intends to get there. Every sign that it is making up the budget as it goes along. Unforgivable

For those who are interested, this is an interview I did for the #Royal Literary Fund podcast with #Paul Dodgson. I had a lot of fun and writers out there might enjoy it too: podcast.rlf.org.uk/495-matt-car... podcast.rlf.org.uk/495-matt-car...

So further proof in the Guardian that Labour got this completely wrong. And so did most of the political class and the pitiful UK commentariat.

Yesterday I was accepted as a member of the Historical Writers Association. On the same day my novel The Devils of Cardona was published in the UK #writingcommunity #Booksky

Amazing how the Orange Bone Spur man who ducked military service revels in killing and violence done by others to others.

My substack post on the looming calamity of a Reform gov and Labour’s belated and weak response to it:https://mattcarr.substack.com/p/trumpland-uk

After all the horrors inflicted on Gaza, to have Tony Blair presiding over the ruins as the emissary of Trump and Netanyahu is the final moral disgrace.

The 21st century has been one long joke and this is the punchline

Why can't Starmer say this sort of stuff?

The most terrifying thing about the Reform/MEGA surge w/ regards to the US isn't that so many British voters don't see the cruelty, illegality, authoritarian overreach, white Christian nationalism, bullying, incompetence etc - it's that they do see it and want it.

Pauvre con.

It's almost as if Mosley-Farage has hate, racism, lies and xenophobia coursing through his rancid bloodstream. Almost as if he were a genuinely evil, hollowed-out shell of a human masquerading as Mr Everyman, who is intent on dragging his country into the moral sewer that he inhabits.

Señor Tough Guy Chainsaw Man not looking so tough nowadays. Mired in corruption along with his crooked sister. Argentinian economy going down the tubes. Forced to seek help from the psycho who just humiliated America once again in front of the world. Triste.

These agents should never know a moment’s peace. I think what is uniquely sadistic about them is how much fun they are having.

The malignant cruelty that Farage proposed today will transform the UK into a moral abyss where anything is possible. It will wreck our society and turn into something hideous and monstrous.
