"Who won the 2020 election?" is the sort of question you ask people to ascertain if their brain is functioning. Failure to answer is akin to being unable to address questions like "can you remember your name?" and "what year is it?"

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

It seems like Farage’s single issue focus on the unfairness of being investigated could be challenging for supporters. Will they chant: “What don’t we want!? Information about the sources of Farage and Reform’s funding! When don’t we want it!? Now!!”

Here I am in happier times with best buds Nathan Gill, now in jail for taking Russian bribes and George Cottrell, who went to prison for fraud then paid for my staff, security and social media and let me stay in his house near Buckingham Palace.

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

IF WE TOLERATE THIS is out today! These are worrying times politically but if there's one thing I want to get across, it's that the slide into far-right nationalism is not inevitable. Please help me spread the word. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/if-w...

For the third by-election in a row Reform UK offered voters the politics of rage and for the third time in a row they have been roundly rejected as a result. How Andy Burnham's massive victory in Makerfield shows the wheels are now coming off of the Nigel Farage project

Makerfield By-Election Result: How Voters Rejected Nigel Farage's Politics of 'Pure Cold Rage'

For the third time in a row Reform have sought to stoke division and violence on Britain's streets and been roundly rejected by voters as a result, reports Adam Bienkov

But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers. I’m gratefully people have reached out and referenced my work today. I remain (I believe) the only academic expert on the terrorism of the suffragettes. Links below:

It's not the diet, Telegraph. Take another guess.

New Reform councillors off to a great start by refusing to vote on anything because they haven't a clue what anything means, how anything works or what the fuck they are doing. Vote Reform, get lazy, incompetent, ignorant morons.

The scale of Bozo Fascist corruption is more than we can absorb. THOUSANDS of stock purchases -- millions of dollars -- in companies that Trump promotes in speeches and trade deals. It's beyond obscene, beyond absurd. He's a tin pot dictator raping his country. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

No sugar-coating the Court’s decision today. Real talk. @allinwithchris.bsky.social

"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together this Trump montage:

Didn't bend, didn't cower, didn't even feel the need to stand next to Trump grinning awkwardly like it was normal. And now he's emerged unscathed with his job and his dignity intact and his reputation even stronger than before. Huh. Seems like this could be a model for others in power.

Reform UK really do inspire community action in the most unexpected ways.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

Every voter should watch this. And stay to the end. It isn’t just about knowing this is fascism. It’s what we need to do to stop it. It’s getting very late for the necessary alliances in the USA, but we still have a chance to prevent Farage’s “arrival to power” here. youtu.be/DDf25rNyT1A?...

After a decade as a de facto poop correspondent, it was great to see the sewage scandal brought together in Channel 4’s brilliant drama Dirty Business. Even if you think you know the story, watch it. I’ve tried to sum up the whole malodorous affair here: watershedinvestigations.com/a-decade-ins...

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.

If a person asked AI to (1) take the UN logo (2) reduce the map to not much more than the US, Canada, Greenland and Venezuela (3) put it on a school shield from an old American high school movie (4) dip it in gold paint then the result would be the logo selected for the Board of Peace.
