Farage on pronouns - "I" when he claims it shows his commitment to Clacton. "We" when it turns out he lied. "They" when it saves him £44,000 in stamp duty.

We are calling this "Raise the Colours (or, The Ballad of Little Bobby Jenrick)"

It's a musical commentary on #raisethecolours, celebrating Robert Jenrick's latest social media antics, with a ukelele gradually going out of tune.

Might I suggest crass deportations instead?

So who chose that headline, rather then "Net migration fell by 100k in a year".

That an unelected advisor does not want to "appease" elected MPs speaks volumes for the way party strategists think about Parliament.

MPs are there to represent the concerns of their constituents.

Govts that stop listening to MPs - like Thatcher on the poll tax or Blair on Iraq - usually regret it

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Realised my faux pas after I pressed send. I'd offer you sweeties to make up for it, but that opens up a whole other can of worms.

Nothing, but I wouldn't give you the nuclear codes...

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that *intended* to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives.

But she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!

Musk and Trump, Laurel and Hardy. One smaller emotionally insecure one, one big fat angry one. Supposedly on the same team, always arguing, everything they touch turns to sh1t.

Putting a positive spin on the current state of the world. Trump turning the US into a haven for white supremacists offers every other country in the world a competitive advantage by simply using the talents of all the people.

It's an Amazon film, from the book. Clips on YouTube if you want a flavour.

Look forward to it, I demolished the book "Red, White and Royal Blue|" recently.

I used to think "journalists" just regurgitated press releases, but it seems they can't even do that. Today Apple have put out a story headlined "Apple to spend more than $500 billion..." and both the Times and Guardian have stories headlined "Apple to invest..."

I remember how we laughed that as America was late to the last two world wars it would be early to the next one. Don't remember thinking they would be on the other side, but here we are.

I wonder if JD Vance is planning to lecture his boss’s buddy Vladimir Putin on democracy and free speech. 🤔

Morgan are only doing what everyone else is doing and charging ever larger amounts for cars that will be driven less and less by ever fewer people. Nice cafe though 😀

Happy Birthday Tony. Hope you are celebrating in style.

On a related note: John Mortimer, on being asked by his doctor if he got breathless when he exercised:- "I don't know, I've never exercised."

This is gonna be fun…

Hello! If you oppose NHS privatisation please could you repost this+follow me? I need to know who to follow next (it’ll be you!) 🌟💙

I believe the Earth is actually a custard filled globe, hardened by fire and caramel along the upper crust. Yes, I have founded the Flan Earth Society. I even wrote some stories about it. It's decent flan fiction.

If you care - and there's no reason why you should - there is now an excerpt from the forthcoming "Tories: The End of an Error".

Here's an idea for Kier Starmer - announce that the Inheritance tax rate on millionaire farmers will go from 20 to 22% (instead of the 40% everybody else pays) in order to pay for the full restoration of winter fuel payments...

Me too, and I can't see how to say "not my cup of tea".

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Father and Son" by Flight of the Conchords - cover version by The Marsh Family (real father/son)

If you fancy a laugh or bit of weekend distraction, here's a cover of the heartbreaking paternal story told in Flight of the Conchords' "Father and Son" - reperformed by a real life Father and Son: youtu.be/zfMpQZlN8bc. We found it very hard to get through without corpsing but got there in the end!

...and also we wouldn't have so many dodgy billionaires telling people porkies...
