Oh excellent. Another think tank grifting for foreign money to buy our democracy and put Farage in No. 10 - via a pact with the unelectable Tory party, a manifesto modelled on Trump’s Project 2025 and the strong hope that - with helpful media cover - voters will be stupid enough to fall for it.

Can't love this enough. Thank you, PM Carney!

'Nitzer Ebb riffed on the disco of Sylvester, as well as the unrestrained nature of the Birthday Party and the darkness of Bauhaus. Theirs was a body music that took aim at the geezers who wanted to fight them on a Saturday night.' Remembering #DouglasMcCarthy, Son of Essex buff.ly/X0EVqql

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

Don't ever forget this 👇🏼 He didn't call NG or the Marines on Jan 6th. 🤬

They really should remove the World Cup from the USA and let Canada and Mexico do it all. Spread the message if you agree.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

Hello, former newspaper editor here. You'd have to be astoundingly stupid and incompetent to have printed this story. Unfortunately that describes the majority of the Telegraph's leadership.

Bruce Springsteen opened his tour in England with a forceful denunciation of President Trump. “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”

The major German TV channel ZDF reports on Trump and Elon Musk's connections to putin – absolutely shocking. The research and interviews with FBI and KGB agents suggest that Trump and Musk are indeed working for putin. (Via Jurgen Nauditt) t.co/PIdaWwET2V

In case you missed it ... Back during Covid, workers with a migration backgound recorded a poem, expressing their fear that we would forget how they helped to keep the UK alive during that crisis. People like Starmer clapped for them then. But now he just demonises them as "strangers". [SOUND ON 🔊]

“My son, a fucking nonce?”

The Man U v Spurs Europa final will be an orgy of existential self loathing where both sides hate themselves more than the opposition.

‘This is not a political party. It is not democratically organised and run. It is administered as a business, and volunteers are treated as employees. You will pledge your loyalty absolutely, you will not speak unless spoken to, and you will do what you are told.’ Very good interesting read

A pretty well placed US contact - who knows the MAGA world really well - recently told me that he’s hearing a lot of talk of a ‘Reichstag fire moment’ as Trump administration flames Definitely feel like pitch is being mowed for it

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

On this date in 2012, Maurice Sendak boarded his boat and sailed in and out of weeks and through a day into the next life. A masterful author of children's literature and relentless humanist, his last words declared that dinner would be waiting for him, and it was still hot. Or we like to think so.

I’m happy for all those enjoying a cut in interest rates today. I had to fix my rate just after Liz Truss crashed the British economy & wiped billions from our nations finances. I now pay hundreds more a month for my mortgage. I will never ever forgive and certainly never forget. #Tories
