Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

The dog wanted a salt and vinegar crisp so I gave her one. She licked it, looked at me like I'd kicked her in the ribs, and has gone to hide in another room.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

Leaving the ECHR could split Union Sir, In his article "Leaving the ECHR won't fix illegal migration" (Oct 6; letters, Oct 7), David Gauke makes the point that the Conservatives' decision to support complete withdrawal from the European convention of human rights is, at best, wholly unnecessary and at worst will make international co-operation on migration control and deportation much more difficult. He is right to do so. It is time for Tories to stop heading for the exit every time there is perceived tension caused by so-called foreign institutions that my party actually helped to create in the first place. To claim that ECHR withdrawal will not affect the Northern Ireland Good Friday agreement is naive. Not only will it risk undermining trust in policing and criminal justice cross-border co-operation, it will trigger a breach of article 2 of the Windsor framework and a climate of instability that can only assist advocates of a border poll that could lead to the break-up of the Union. For the Conservative Party to advocate such a move is a betrayal of Conservative principles.

One very very lonely Tory voice on the letters page of The Times.
Sorry, Robert. It’s too late. Your party has gone completely nuts. Driven mad by 14 years of failure, Farage and your monumentally stupid Brexit.
You can ask them to put the petrol can down but they’re mesmerised by the fire.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

They set Greta Thunberg free. She looks like she's ready to rumble, and honestly, I'm right there with her. Keep the comments civil, folks.

After spending an entire morning defending his suggestion that there are too many non-white faces in the UK, Robert Jenrick ends his speech with the line: "Let's take our country back".

The messaging in this is absolutely fabulous, it will resonate with many and rightly so.

This may be the best response to much of the junk science being pushed by the trumpies in the US. 🧪🌎🐟⚒️ #TeamFish

Given that it was the Green Party conference last week

Does anyone know why Zack Polanski wasn't invited onto Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show, or onto Trevor Phillips's Sky News program?

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

It’s simple really.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.
