Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

If you’d asked AI to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Donald Trump, this is what you’d get. Well done America, you’ve elected a Russian asset as your President.

Classic Guardian from their 2013 list of the Top 10 Greatest Film Noir films. At #4 - a film about which the article says “there can be no disputing that this is the finest film noir of all time”. Well apart from by the very paper in which this sentence is written.

Our new research models how closer UK-EU ties - specifically deep alignment on goods and services - could deliver up to 2.2% GDP growth. And, even better, it's a policy that's popular with the public. Here's the polling👇

The right often bangs on about things 'eroding our culture' but the one thing they never mention is modern day capitalism. Even at the height of Thatcher, which wasn't exactly a socialist paradise, the England rugby captain was allowed to refer to Twickenham as Twickenham, unlike last night.

🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨 Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit. Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis. And all within Starmer's red lines. www.thetimes.com/article/8423...

Exactly a month since client journalists tried to confect a market crisis and opposition demanded that the Chancellor cancel her China trip. I have seen few reports on this since and not one piece entertaining the possibility her decision not to add to the panic was right. ~AA

Can we talk about the fact that Kemi Badenoch referred to people who oppose new oil & gas licences as "eco nutters"... When her own party's election manifesto vaunted "reducing emissions further & faster than any of our competitors", and being "the first major economy to get halfway to net zero"?

The host of today's BBC Politics Live's rebutted Heseltine's point by saying "he won very decisively". Trump won a two horse race by 2.3 million votes, Starmer won by 2.9 m votes in a much smaller country, yet they don't use that argument to give Starmer a similar carte blanche.
