Thinking about your plans for next weekend? I'll be in Ipswich getting out the #GetGreensElected - #VoteGreen message, on the biggest day yet. Please join me if you want to be part of history! actionnetwork.org/events/big-g...

Trump ordered deployment of 2000 members of the National Guard. But when Lawmakers and our Capitol was being attacked & on Jan 6 and police were valiantly fighting the attacking mob, Trump refused to call the National Guard.

Every accusation is a confession

Will Nigel Farage's earnings top 1 MILLION POUNDS in his first year in Parliament?

Anyone care to explain why demanding - or permitting - immunity from prosecution isn’t conspiracy to pervert the course of justice? It doesn’t scream independent policing or courts. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I mentioned Leonardo DiCaprio in a conversation at home yesterday and my daughter said "Oh, that old guy" and I died a little inside.

The Independent put Wes Streeting on their Pride list. Is that some kind of joke? They couldn't even think of 10 LGBT people who weren't actively campaigning against LGBT rights? Unbelievable www.independent.co.uk/lgbt/pride-l...

It’s always the ones you most suspect etc.

I fecking knew it

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

🤡 A reminder of the antics of some of the greatest fools in SW1.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

I am very disapoofed with all concerned

It was Colston Goes Splash Day yesterday and I missed it, but for anyone still celebrating a couple of very kind people have recommended my book Fallen Idols, which is about pulling statues down and was shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize. There’s a whole chapter on Colston and his statue!

After the Brexit reset, how about a Brexit review? New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The reset now needs to be delivered, including an SPS deal. Meanwhile, with the SDR we've had three defence reviews since Brexit, so why not a Brexit review? chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/afte...

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

"The total cash adds up to £15.6bn. London’s Elizabeth Line cost £18.8bn. "But let’s hold the cynicism for the moment, because all this looks suspiciously like that rarest thing: good news from Rachel Reeves..." This week's column is on the local transport announcement

Word of the day, from Pennsylvanian Dutch, is ‘ferhoodled’, meaning ‘tangled’ or ‘all mixed up’. Can be used of anything from a sock drawer to life.

Five years ago Edward Colston's statue got thrown into Bristol Harbour. Despite many arguing that it was cancel culture, I'd suggest that the opposite was true as far more people subsequently learned about Colston's life as a result than had ever done before. An era defining moment either way.

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

"Certainly, taking your kid into work with the paedo-friendly rapist for whom you bought an election, and only calling him out on this when your EV subsidy is cut, hints more at Weinstein than Einstein."

'Libel' comes from Latin 'libellus,' which essentially means "little book." So, if you can't remember the difference between 'libel' and 'slander,' just remember that little books are written.

Tommy Robinson and pals went out for lunch at the very pricy Hawksmoor yesterday... sat down... ordered... and then got kicked out.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
