No context for this, just a heads up: the secure USAF high frequency network used for strategic and nuclear command is now active, with two callsigns Rhetoric and Compress. Can’t tell right now if it’s high-level ops or routine. You have been informed.

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

I 100% guarantee you that absolutely no-one crossing one of the world's busiest shipping routes in order to seek asylum was doing it based on the timing of the spending review.

David Bull used to hunt ghosts. Now he’s joined Reform UK. Same job though to be fair, considering most Reform voters resemble the cast of fucking Cocoon.

The most striking thing about this speech is how rarely, in a country that is being tanked by wealth inequality, we hear politicians making it.

The UK government should long ago have exited X. The platform is not interested in appropriate moderation. It is a hotbed for extremism. This was clear nearly a year ago during the riots.

Rachel Reeves held her ground, rejected Treasury orthodoxy, and forced through a significant change to the fiscal rules on investment. She gets no credit for this, but she damn well deserves some inews.co.uk/opinion/rach...

I have never witnessed the utterly baboonish levels of jeering Reeves endures in the Commons - and this level of disrespect started on day one, so it is nothing to do with policies, credentials, or ability and everything to do with her being a woman.

Not sure why Bear Grylls was having lunch at a Mayfair restaurant with Nigel Farage and Reform moneyman Nick Candy. Maybe they’re trying to persuade the TV presenter to run for Parliament.

An apology. Yesterday, I suggested on this site that sooner or later, Reform's new chairman, David Bull, would make an absolute turnip of himself. I was wrong. There was no "later" to it.

“Brexit has shattered confidence in Britain’s economy” And yet the politicians who championed Brexit still strut around like they’re owed power, rather than a heavy dose of proper scrutiny and public disgust for the damage they’ve collectively done.

We live in interesting times. The country is falling apart, infrastructure crumbling, cost of living skyrocketing, affordable homes out of reach and people have been duped into believing it's all the fault of those who have absolutely no political power.

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?
