Quite apart from Farage's immensely obnoxious and Trumpian non-reply, his non sequitur doesn't even work on its own terms - the FT has in fact run many stories on the Mandelson scandal

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?

Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".

Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.

Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

UK quietly shelves £110mn frictionless post-Brexit trade border project Experts criticise halt to programme that had used Deloitte and IBM as contractors

One more UK government IT disaster. (£)

Let's start being realistic about what can be achieved, not starting grand certain failures. And rethink the disastrous model of #Outsourcing.

And what can we learn from others? "Pakistan did theirs for one-third of the price"

Reform no longer the favourites to win next election Reform UK is no longer the bookmakers’ favourites to win the most seats at the next general election, it has been revealed.

Reform no longer the favourites to win next election

Whisper it quietly, but the wheels may have fallen off for Reform.

Staggering that 24% of voters in this advanced country continue to believe in a bunch of entitled bigots with unworkable policies, whose very ideas put us in the abject chaos we are in. Truly God awful idiots, and I make no apology for saying that.

Hannah Arendt warned us in her work "The Origins of Totalitarianism," that the goal of constant lying wasn't to persuade people to believe a specific lie, but rather to destroy their capacity to distinguish between truth and falsehood, leading to a state of complete subjugation.

Usually that’s up to the voters, but not when political parties become cults.

Why would anyone ever bother interviewing for a job that a company isn't bothering to interview you for

PM Carney is leading talks on a massive new trade deal with 40+ countries and pushing for the European Union to join.

If it happens, it would be the largest trade bloc in the world with little to no tariffs.

Some are calling it an anti-Trump alliance. 🇨🇦

Incredible. We got to "Is a pedophile island really all that bad?" five times faster than I thought.

Huh?

I remember those days of smoke soot and industry when t'ducks flew back'ards to keep t'muck out of their eyes.

This photograph came to me from my Great Uncle, Fowler Beanland, who, during the First World War, was a foreman at a munitions factory in Keighley. .....

A completely unhinged tantrum from someone who didn’t get their way.

I don’t know one person in NJ, Republican or Democrat, who doesn’t see the power and value of the Gateway Tunnel Project.

AOC: “You are the Attorney General of the United States of America & you don't want to hold anyone of these pedophiles accountable — resign or be impeached"

My dad died 14th Feb. Forty seven years ago. I still think about him every day but realised a long time ago the only thing we can do for those who passed is to live happily ever after. It is what they would want for us.

Just occurred to me that the slang term for Half a Crown (2/6 or 30d) was Half a Dollar. I don't know why. Was a US Dollar ever valued at 10 bob?

They are very weird people, and it will be their downfall.

Performative religious nationalism might work in America, but most British people - including most Christians - think it's weird.

I think we should all get behind Daniel Hannan and encourage him to campaign for L.S.D. *snigger*

Dan wasn't even born before decimalisation (nor was he anywhere near the UK when he was born) but still he yearns for Britain's pre-decimal times 55 years later.

A black and white photograph of Fred Hampton speaking into a microphone during a public event. Overlaid text reads: “Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism is gonna stop us all.” His name, Fred Hampton, appears beneath the quote.

Fred Hampton saw what unchecked power could do. He warned us anyway.

Black Panther leader and community organizer who built multiracial coalitions across race and class through the Rainbow Coalition and grassroots programs for change.

FBI Informant Who Lied About the Bidens Covertly Released From Jail Alexander Smirnov pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and was sentenced to six years in jail.

Here's a story that flew under the radar. Of course it happened during the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime.

Marco Rubio is enthusiastically boosting Viktor Orbán as he campaigns in a tough election.

Viktor Orbán has been a speaker at CPAC.

Before the 2024 election, Trump hosted Viktor Orbán at Mar-a-Lago.

None of this is normal, or at least none of it should be.
