Ah Portland! What a terrible war-torn city. 🙄 It was so bad, my friend took these beautiful pictures today.

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

🔥 RICHARD MASSEY: “No one here in MEMPHIS asked for military occupation… this is not a war on crime, it’s a war on the working class… we know better than to sign off on our city becoming a blueprint for authoritarianism.”

Very good to hear him say this. I cannot understand why these comments always seem to come two weeks after the fact, but it's much better than nothing.

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.

THE DAILY: President Trump and his inner circle are making millions of $$ from agreements that intersect with America’s national security interests, a NYT investigation found. Eric Lipton explains why these conflicts of interest are unlike anything we’ve seen before www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/p...

Trump is a real danger for Farage. He used to be very canny about staying within the bounds of acceptable opinion. But his refusal to allow clear blue water with Trump means he's chained to an out-of-control individual, adopting extremely unpopular policies on a whim.

I hear endlessly (including right now on the radio) that “the new consensus” is that Covid was “almost certainly” caused by a lab leak. This might be a political “consensus”, led by the same White House that says tylenol caused autism. But it’s not the scientific one.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?
