Farage is an archetypal bar room bore: loud, egotistical, ignorant, totally lacking insight or empathy. If he was our PM he'd have a similar effect on us as his imaginary friend Donald is having on America. How's it going in Clacton?

The value of Simon Jenkins is that whatever topic he picks he is 100% certain to be wrong on. Whether this is a service a newspaper should pay for is, however, questionable.

McGovern: "What the hell are Republicans so afraid of? What the hell are so scared of that you guys are holding this hearing at 1 in the morning ... if Republicans are so proud of what's in this bill, why are you trying to ram it through in dead of night?"

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

Trump asked today, why didn’t Ukraine fight back in Crimea in 2014? As I wrote in my book, The War Came To Us, Ukraine’s decision to not fight against Russia’s invasion was largely influenced by behind-the-scenes pressure from the US. Here’s what then-interim President Oleksandr Turchynov told me:

[Thread] The Andor Season 2 (April 22) fest I had made a huge production thread about Andor on Twitter, several hundred posts over several years. Because the people who make Andor (and showrunner Tony Gulroy in particular) often have interesting things to say. So I'm picking up the thread here. 🤟

🔥 Report finds Southport thugs “not policed strongly because of political views,” but bc “they were throwing missiles, assaulting officers and committing arson”. To undermine police “who bore this violence” with “baseless” two-tier claims is “disgraceful”. ~AA www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
