Nigel Farage unveils Reform UK frontbench team and warns over dissent Leader says move should end claims of one-man band and shows party is β€˜creating a machine for government’

"We're not like other parties, and I won't tolerate disloyalty," says Farage, as he introduces a cabinet that is 50% disloyal people from another party.

If there's one lesson from recent history it's that nothing bad ever happens after you're unreasonably rude to an FT journalist.

Farage absolutely clueless on the Epstein/Mandelson story here, where the FT (especially @pickardje.bsky.social) has led the way on recent revelations. His thin skin could easily become a vulnerability.

The former prime minister is nominated for a purple passage about the night spent with his wife Cherie following the news of the Labour leader John Smith's sudden death. "That night she cradled me in her arms and soothed me; told me what I needed to be told; strengthened me. On that night of 12 May 1994, I needed that love Cherie gave me, selfishly. I devoured it to give me strength. I was an animal following my instinct," Blair wrote.

Tonty shagging the grief away is something I have just read, so I'm afraid you also have to

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

After it's been announced that Johnny Heitinga has left Spurs after a mammoth 33 day run, I'd like to formally retract my 'theory', and if it's alright with everyone, I'm off to have a long, hard look at myself in the mirror to reflect how I even for a moment thought this was remotely possible #LFC
