I have put together a little video guide to Nigel Farage's umm... evolving views on hecklers. They seem to be quite dependent on whether the heckler disagrees with him (bad, boring, frightening, dangerous), or shouts abuse at a woman in the street (buy him a pint/give him a peerage).

What has Starmer done wrong exactly? Could it be that £5m pounds of social media campaigning has brainwashed thousands to hate a decent and competent man? Not enough discussion about this in political circles.

Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”. Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

The way I see it is that tonight Starmer had no other serious option but to do what he has. However, he must have known as soon as the attacks happened that an indiscriminate Iranian response was likely and failed to do anything to prepare the public for the consequences. That's what's screwed him.

Net migration in 2025 was about 160,000. That headline 2025 net migration figure will come out in May: it will clearly be significantly below the 205k for the year to June 2025 (est range: 130-180k) as 2025 visa data is now published. But the 2026 figure is likely to show negative net migration.

argues we should allow Thames Water to go down the drain. The alternative is a fudged deal that softens pollution targets and sees large returns for hedge funds. This will fuel calls for nationalising the industry, and the uncertainty could push up bills.

The pro-EU Greens and LibDems are now at a combined 31% vs Farage's 26%, but even combined, do they get anything remotely near the TV coverage given to Farage and his party? British TV promotes and protects Farage. Has it even mentioned the deeply troubling Epstein, Bannon, Farage link?
