"I said it's a bold move by Reform to use the Navy to return migrants. What did I say Roy?" "You said it's an unworkable load of bollocks designed to win back some racist numbskulls from Rupert Lowe and distract attention from Farage's £5m bung"

Jeremy Clarkson has said that benefits claimants should be forced to write a letter to a taxpayer every week, thanking them for all their hard work that allows us to receive the money we need, so I did. Unfortunately I don't think the entire text will fit in alt text, but this is an email to my dad.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

I cannot stand Farage but there’s something so deeply repellent about Jenrick, I struggle to express how much he disgusts me. But this is an excellent summary of his repulsiveness…. His downfall will be tremendous. And it is coming.

At any given moment you could ask yourself:
What's the most cynical, self-interested, irresponsible and yet also incredibly basic thing you could do now, and that's precisely what he'll do - whether it's making anti-immigration videos or joining Reform. And yet, despite the obviousness of the action itself, he will always pursue it with this look of deep seriousness, as if he were Napoleon devising the Italian campaign.

The contrived rage over the new boss opening a branch in #Manchester shows exactly why it is needed. The massive thriving economy of London and its environs has a boot on the throat of the regions, sucking in jobs, investment and bright young people. There are other places.
