It's difficult to read this piece without asking yourself whether you need to be foreign to see England for what it is. It's difficult, too, to read it because doing so is to be reminded, again, how much we will miss Conor Gearty. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Tax authorities examine finances of key Nigel Farage ally Exclusive: HMRC conducts scoping exercise into Reform UK backer ‘Posh George’ Cottrell’s income from business and wealth

HMRC is examining finances of George Cottrell, advisor to Farage, who he says is like a son

Cottrell was charged in US for
money laundering, wire fraud, blackmail & extortion. He conspired to launder millions of $’s of drug money using offshore bank accounts

No wonder he’s in bed with Reform 🤷🏼‍♂️

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

Correct. Sooner or later there will be an inflection point and the tide will turn. Donald Trump may never pay a consequence for his crimes, but America is going to demand accountability nonetheless from someone, somewhere. Both Miller and Vought should be very *very* worried about that moment.

Who is this Brit Ian & why will he lose - I demand to know!

Robert Jenrick: "it wasn't me it was the wig"

To his credit, Honest Bob does seem to possess the ability to lie without even moving his lips, a rare skill indeed.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Ed Miliband is much more effective as Energy Minister than he was as opposition leader.

Perfect

Staggeringly, Jenrick is a qualified solicitor.

And married to the daughter of Holocaust survivors…and we all know what happened to Jews (and dissidents) when Hitler turned the German judiciary into political puppets.

So shame SHAME on him.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize

The truth is hurting those in the media who slavishly and cheerfully support the way the Tories & Reform are steering the UK to the far, far right.

Sky Sports make decision on taking Gary Neville off air after controversial flag rant — Metro He may have breached Sky's guidelines.

It won’t be long before Gary Neville is sacked. Voices that speak out against racism and extremism are being cancelled.

The United States is deliberately coordinating efforts to protect the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being coordinated and directed from the Oval Office.

Four parties within a 5 point swing of first place and five parties on 12% plus.

This would be pure chaos under first past the post.

Look what a small, independent nation can do. 🇮🇪

Obscene, utterly obscene.

I quite like the ‘back-lighting’ effect on the underside/shaded side of the Comet racer, representing the evening sunlight reflected from the fields below.

Especially if the young people in question do that thing where they insist on sitting on top of the back of the bench with their muddy trainers on the seat cos it looks so ‘cool’, innit.

Oafs the lot of them, rant, rant.

(Or should it be ’oaves’?)
