It’s too serious for the Withnail meme (although someone has almost certainly done it already) but they appear to have gone to war by accident.
The only thing prohibiting walking through the mine field is the mines exploding. It is open for walking should the mines not do that.
Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.
the thing is, Nigel, you can’t U-turn bombs you’ve dropped, missiles you’ve launched, or bullets you’ve fired
“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News.
Here's some of the leaflets Reform have been putting out ahead of the local elections
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnson’s amazing and Liz Truss is an economic genius, are now insisting the country should join an illegal war

Trump told me that the Ayatollah was close to collecting all the infinity stones and had to be stopped.
"Useful" cover, that's all it is. There's no rationalising the actions of a mad man (or two), no matter how hard they try.
The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.
Stay strong Keir.
The country is behind you.

Celebrate #IWD2026 by listening to the debunking of what surely amounts to the biggest ever smear campaign - 3,000 years in the making.
Do it now, ahead of the bonus Pandora episode release this afternoon. A x
This is one result of the 7-year-long, £10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

The search for me in Clacton enters its 87th week.
Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.
Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?
Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Team GB alert!!!
Josie Clifford currently sitting in 12th in the #Biathlon Junior World Championships Sprint!! She shot 9/10 and made the most of good conditions. A few more still racing but she could hang on for a Top 15 or 20 which would be a HUGE personal best!!! 🇬🇧

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis.
It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.
im starting to think the woke mind virus wasnt actually the biggest threat to civilization
Greens hit out at Nigel Farage accusations of cheating. Party Spokesperson: "This is an attempt to undermine the democratic result and is straight out of the Trump playbook. We've just won a historic by-election by a comfortable margin."
I think the stupidest defense of the players going to the WH or SOTU is that it's "every kids dream" or "chance of a lifetime". You're a multimillionaire athlete who just won an Olympic gold, you've already lived more dreams than 99.9999% of the population. Maybe shelve this one for a minute
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
BBC just aired a ridiculous allegation of family voting irregularities identified by the same outfit that’s been identifying these in Tower Hamlets and who oddly do the same election observation work in Kazakhstan and Canada…🤔 Nothing weird there. Swift rebuttal from the council NOT aired by the BBC
Look.
People get divorced for all manner of reasons, and it's nobody else's business.
However.
When a politician is using the slogan:
Family. Community. Country.
It's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are recently divorced and live in the SE of England miles from Gorton and Denton.
Two golds in one day for Team GB. Never done that before in a whole winter Olympics.
And two for Matt Weston who becomes the most successful male winter Olympian.
Just going to leave this here
Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was.
He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.
