Reform UK have accepted ยฃ9 million from foreign-based businessman Christopher Harborne.

Here's what Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice thought in 2018 about George Soros donating to UK groups:

"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

We now live in a time where the President publicly calls a Governor a "sleazebag" and demands that a convicted felon, who committed crimes on his behalf, is freed.

All completely normal..

The prime ministerโ€™s economic adviser also suggested that rejoining the EU customs union would be one of the most effective ways of generating growth.

This too was quickly knocked back.

Whatโ€™s the point of Keir Starmer employing an economics advisor if he ignores her on the biggest economic issue of the day?

"Permanently pause" is the kind of language only an idiot like Trump could use.

Judges..

Trial by jury is only an Anglo Saxon system.
Are French, German, Dutch, Scandinavian Governments randomly imprisoning opponents because they don't have juries?

Although to be fair, many other countries do not use the Anglo Saxon style of trial by jury.
And I don't think you can argue that the judiciary in Scandinavian countries, Germany, France the Netherlands are necessary inferior.

The BBC have always been biased against me. As I explained in detail during my 38 appearances on BBC Question Time.

Yes, my criticism of the BBC was always their right wing bias.

To now see the BBC under sustained attack by the right wing is bonkers..!!

US politicians slinging insults at each other over the Govt shutdown shambles: it's a Democrat shutdown, it's a Republican shutdown...

It's neither of course. It's the Epstein Shutdown.

The Gaza ceasefire, so proudly and unmodestly announced by Trump, has since been broken multiple times by both sides.

He's suddenly very quiet about it. Why is the press not asking questions?

When Matt Goodwin is trending on #Bluesky, you know it won't be for 'the right reasons'.

Very refreshing; and very effective. Trump could take a few lessons from this kind of self-deprecating honesty (he won't of course...)
