Turns out I was right.

This oaf is fast becoming a serious challenger to Daniel Hannan for the ‘Wrongest Man In The World’ title.

At least Labour aren’t letting him set any strategies or anything. Oh

NYC mayor not banned from UK – Full Fact A series of videos shared on social media falsely claim that Zohran Mamdani said the UK has “lost its moral compass”, prompting Keir Starmer to ban him from the UK.

Videos shared online falsely claim Keir Starmer banned New York mayor Zohran Mamdani from the UK, after Mr Mamdani supposedly said the UK had “lost its moral compass” at an event they both attended.

But no such event happened, and he hasn’t been banned.

How the right-wing British press became Trump’s trumpet Churchill would be appalled by the kinds of things Donald Trump says and does. But Fleet Street is happy to ignore history for the sake of some political point-scoring, writes Alan Rusbridger

“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”

And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

There were 4 Democrats that voted against the War Powers Act in House.

They need to be primaried for sure. It would have passed had they not voted with Republicans.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

"They’re doing this because they think it’s fun. . ."

"The US has started a war without any legal, moral, strategic or political basis whatsoever. And yet instead of raising the alarm about it, the British press’ main question is why Britain is not more involved."

Well, imagine that …

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

When I flagged this on the morning after the vote I noted Matt Goodwin had a longstanding reputation in academia as being bad at maths.

I should've added he also had a reputation as a very sore loser when he went for a job and didn't get it (which happened fairly often).

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Bold from the leader of a party who’s main support comes from over 65s

"This is not about being a sore loser" I continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob.

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Opinion | Shocker! SCOTUS Schools POTUS

Trump’s tantrum over SCOTUS tariff ruling demonstrates his mafia worldview — he expects loyalty to him over loyalty to the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

70s Manchester in b&w. A young girl stands in a litter-strewn alleyway

Notting Hill, 70s. Kids and adults sort through a pile of clothing and fabrics on a spot of waste ground (likely a demolished house from bomb damage) at the end of a terraced street.

Finchley, 70s. Kids and adults watch a house being demolished. The background is mixed post-war HMOs, flats and large Georgian semis.

Whilst there are absolutely problems with the exodus of trade from high streets to out of town retail parks, these people's rose-tinted (fascist) view of this mythical past makes me want to beat their shins with a spade.

Ah Matt turn off comments.
Why?
Maybe to stop people pointing out that:
a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill
b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation
c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election
d) All of the above?🤔

Reform UK has another Russia problem.

#Gorton & #Denton candidate Matt Goodwin has been shown to have been paid significant Russian oil money via Orbán’s Hungary.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

"If these f**kers think they are going to bully and intimidate me, they have another thing coming." Rep. Jason Crow isn't backing down after Trump tried (and failed) to indict him. This is what real courage looks like. Read more: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

Proud to partner with UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to sign an MOU deepening climate cooperation between California and the UK.

As communities face extreme weather and rising costs, we’re accelerating innovation and investing in solutions to tackle climate change.

Apparently we’re still taking this wanker seriously
