‘Farage sounds absolutely off his head’: Reform tries to turn tables on BBC in racism row | The News Agents Richard Tice has called antisemitism claims against Nigel Farage, dating back to his teenage years, as a “made up twaddle”, suggesting the Reform leader can remember what happened, but his accusers…

A "thin-skinned" Nigel Farage demanded an apology from the BBC for what it broadcast in the 70s, as he faces allegations of antisemitism in the same era.

"I was watching those programmes. They never made jokes about gassing Jews," says Jon Sopel

Why are so many Americans pretending the Trump presidency is normal? Never mind all the pedo stuff, the guy's a fucking sociopath. Actual journalists need to start reporting this crap for what it is - madness. Stop relying on Jon Stewart to tell it as is.

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Straight up Nazi shit

Trump appears to doze off in another meeting It was the second time in a month Trump has appeared to struggle to stay awake as his advisers have spoken to cameras about the administration’s initiatives.

Who really thinks this guy is gonna last through 2028 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s whole strategy is to be so outrageous on multiple fronts—racism, corruption, misogyny, nativism, plutocracy, greed, authoritarianism, etc.—that it’s nearly impossible to keep a focus on any individual outrage or maintain a high level of indignation and concern. It’s deliberate bludgeoning.

Putin

The state of Putin in his wee Dad's Army uniform. I'm surprised Trump hasn't started wearing one.

Putin has summoned Witkoff and Kushner back to base

One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.

Oh fuck off.

For MAGA, Trump replaces country.

O'Neill 'hiding the paperwork' for next Celtic manager as he extends winning run Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill joked about hiding Wilfried Nancy's paperwork after the club's 2-1 win over Hibernian, as a red-tape hold-up delays the new manager's appointment

Why Celtic would want to replace the legendary Martin O'Neill is beyond me. Let him win another title as manager then bring in Nancy

A vile racist

You just know that in common with other hate-mongers, vile racist Nicola Cree loves the attention - they feed on it. The Belfast Telegraph should stop giving this ghastly individual the oxygen of publicity

Vile racist Nicola Cree

No sign of this hateful creature?

Corbyn's new political party is going as well as you'd expect 🤦

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

It's difficult to put into words just how bonkers Reform Ltd MP Danny Kruger is - terrifyingly so. The Tories are lucky to be rid of him.

This is Nazism. And the only reason some folks cannot see it is because they, themselves, are also dangerous fascists. This may be the most un-American statement ever uttered by a man currently serving as co-President of the United States. It spits in the face of everything America is.

‘Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset?’
‘Are you seriously asking me that?’
