Demented Grandpa Don embarrasses the USA again.

BBC radio 4 Today, Nick Robinson roasts Yusuf & Farage “You say this is all about standing up to the establishment. “You’re a multi-millionaire. You made your money selling luxury helicopter charters and rare wines to the super-wealthy. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nick-r...

Never underestimate the self-pity of the ruling classes.

The many ways in which Farage’s giant crybaby byelection stunt is backfiring: •the focus on his frenzied grifting intensifies •he can’t claim a meaningful win And, best of all… •”the impact is lessened when the only other candidate is wearing a dustbin on his head” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star

Alan Shearer: "When the referee goes back to VAR for Egypts goal & cancels it due to an interference at the start of play, but doesn't go back to VAR for Agentina's winning goal despite 2 interferences at the start of play... then we're watching a "theatre" not a football match.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Has any other politician ever called a by-election on an explicitly anti-transparency, pro-sleaze ticket before?

🚨 NEW: Count Binface says he will stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election

Time to get these up all round Clacton then.

While Texans celebrated July 4, Senate candidate Ken Paxton was seen walking the streets of London with his alleged mistress. Just like Graham Platner, he should never become a U.S. senator.

Farage says Reform will cover cost of by-election. Which means criminals and crypto-billionaires will cover cost of by-election.

Just when you thought you knew everything about the Farage gambit, must read👇

If Restore aren't contesting Clacton it makes no sense for Labour, Greens, Lib Dems to either. Easy message is "stop wasting everyone's time, we'll see you in the autumn for the real by-election" and let Farage pound the doorsteps and stand on a stage with Count Binface.

Why wouldn't you want to join Schengen? Unless you like sitting in traffic jams, rather than having spritz in Savona. Europe makes the little things better. #ThankEU H/T @ksmikey.eurosky.social

How many families have Farage and his far-right thugs terrorised over the years? How many refugee children have they targeted and terrified? But like all.bullies, he can't take it when just a fraction of that happens to him. #FarageOut

In case you need reminding

So the US cheated and still lost?

Exactly….. No sadness, or regrets going home. Just glad that the orange buffoon and his kult followers are staying in America. Maybe Americans might migrate to better countries.??

Perfect response from one @thetimes.com reader to J.D. Vance's nonsense.

Nigel Farage told Sky News “you tell your bosses, you harass my family any more and there will be serious consequences,” after journalists approached him asking questions about funding he allegedly received from convicted criminal George Cottrell. This is their response 👇

BlueSky tonight

watched a Belgian fan say "we have been making beer centuries longer than they have been a country" and ykw, fair play

Belgium’s team celebrated their victory over the US by mocking Trump’s signature double jerk off dance move.

Reminded of Patrick O’Flynn, then Ukip’s economy spokesperson, describing Farage as “snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive” back in 2015.

Patriot Front Marches in DC @andertoon.bsky.social

driving around Alabama I have not seen a single rooftop solar panel anywhere, it turns out it’s because they don’t give you net metering at retail rates and charge you $39 a month to have a solar array regardless of how big it is. MAGA hog governance in action insideclimatenews.org/news/3103202...

Even after Trump intervened, the US lost to Belgium by a humiliating 4 - 1. Trump didn't need to violate the rules of soccer. He didn't need to turn the USMNT into an international pariah. He didn't need to highlight FIFA's corruption. But fu***ng things up is just what Trump does.

On the day we all hope Prince Harry et al rinse the Daily Mail and Associated Newspapers in the High Court, a reminder of that filthy rag's pre-World Cup take on Jude Bellingham.

Vox pops on #r4today from Reform voters in Runcorn is not news. It’s fire-hosing the audience with the abject ignorance and cultish stupidity of a small minority, spouting their bullshit notions of why it’s ok for Farage to corrupt his arse off and lie to them. “We need Reform”. Do we hell.

The Telemundo announcers are discussing how, "through no fault of their own," the US players have now earned "the antipathy" of "the entire footballing world." They're also openly speculating about whether the political controversy distracted the players.

Bluesky this morning:

It’s becoming clear Nigel Farage cannot stand scrutiny. Which is how you know he’s corrupt.

(🧵1/2) There were at least *26* U.S. mass shootings over July 4th weekend: Centreville, MS Radcliff, KY Dayton, OH Mount Clemens, MI Hilton Head Island, SC San Antonio, TX Glendale, AZ San Bernardino, CA Miami, FL Compton, CA Pensacola, FL Rochester, NY massshootingtracker.site/data/?year=2...

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

Notice how everything is an ‘establishment hit job’ for Nigel Farage? …almost like ‘the establishment’ is what he calls anyone who asks him a question he doesn’t want to answer.

Always liked Lukaku 😀😀😀. Top shithousery #worldcup

That's Donald Trump. Every accusation is a confession.
