Good work George.

Holy ****

A further punt for my Prospect piece and my follow-on piece on solving the puzzle of why Prince Harry's case against News Group Newspapers came to its sudden end. These posts are not quick and easy to put together, and here I had to read over 13 case reports to get any sense of what really went on.

It's unanimous. A majority of voters in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales think the government should prioritise trade with the EU over Trump's America or other countries. It's even the most popular view in Clacton. (Sorry Nigel 🙃)

This is the HQ of Avis Capital. It claims to be one of the largest companies in the UK, with £58bn in assets and 31% returns promised to investors. Except it's all a lie. Here's how regulatory failures are letting international fraudsters create massive fake UK companies.

49,000 signatures for banning driven grouse shooting - thank you for your strong support. Plz sign & share petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... Looking forward to 50,000 soon.

This could be Kuensberg or Mason on the BBC

Incisive reporting as ever

The evidence in the case of Donald Trump illegally seeking to cling to power after losing the 2020 election would have been sufficient to convict him, had his 2024 win not made it impossible for the prosecution to continue, Jack Smith, the special counsel, said in a final report. nyti.ms/4aeAn7t

A wonderful sequence of photos by Sophie Blackmore of a cat called Marmalade looking at my art and realising she’s a cunt.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

One of his best www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

My God. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott spent $100,000 on billboards warning migrants they'll be r*ped if they cross the border illegally: “How much did you pay to have your daughter r*ped?” one billboard reads. "Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” another reads. (1/2)

Appalling. 77-year-old climate protestor, Gaie Delap, has been recalled to prison over Christmas because her wrists are too small for a tag to be fitted. @goodlawproject.bsky.social are supporting Gaie to challenge this cruel decision. Here's how you can help👇 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

A taste of things to come.

Utterly predictable.

Left: Boris Johnson praises the free trade agreement with New Zealand, and that Brits are eating 24% more NZ meat Right: Farmers Weekly report from the farmers protest in March where they said cheap food imports from post Brexit trade deals that are flooding the UK market

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

Still, at least we live in a country where people who went to prison for assaulting their girlfriend can become Reform Party Members of Parliament.

Minute Cryptic - 16 December 2024 "Pirate chooses caged parrot" (4) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 2 under par www.minutecryptic.com?utm_source=s...

maybe if that person who milkshaked Farage had just kicked him repeatedly he’d be happier

Dirty cheating bastard

The story behind this picture. This guy got bitten by a Rattlesnake it cost him £153k to save his life. They charged him $83,341.25 for antivenom that cost them $2,500. That is private healthcare and there was nothing he could do except pay.

This Christmas, ensure your friends and family clearly understand: THIS IS THE FUTURE NIGEL FARAGE WANTS.
