Kemi Badenoch talking in 2025 refusing to consider rehabilitating Shamima Begum, "Actions must have consequences or there is no deterrent." Kemi Badenoch talking in 2026 about Joshua Bonehill-Paine, "If we're going to stop extremism we need help from those who were part of the problem."

We seem to have forgotten that the real reason for the small boat crossings is that the Tories removed the legal routes to claim asylum. If you want to stop the small boats try employing a different policy such as oh, I dunno, hearing people's asylum claims.
I'll shed no tears over Rod Liddle's death but I do hope his middle aisle specials continue.
What's the point of getting AI to label photographs in a news story if it's just going to play Catchphrase and "say what you see? In a story with many participants this is what it came up with.. Who they are and how they're connected to the story I have absolutely no idea...
Today's walk took in the Heswall Dales, Cleaver Heath, which has had some fire damage, then the top path to Thurstaston Village, before finally finishing in Irby.
I heard someone on the radio dismissively saying that the investor in the wings for FIFA is "Trump's cousin or someone" It's actually Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and manager of a huge wealth fund financed by the Saudis who just happen to host the 2034 WC Edition. It stinks like a fresh shit!
Just so you know how key Cottrell was to the formation of Reform UK
I think a lot of people have missed this. Until the police investigation in February last year, Reform UK’s financial structures were all tied up with Cottrell and his Montenegro base bylinetimes.com/2026/07/23/p...
This seems unnecessarily misleading. Show a picture of a road atlas with a spiral binding and then in the small print confirm you might not get that edition. From an online book store. I'll get mine from a physical store thank you.
I'm glad you don't have to pay for likes that you give on here, like they charge for AI tokens. Far too much good stuff being posted from both sides of the Atlantic to be affordable!
Reform UK already have a comprehensive plan for social care: me and my rich mates will be just fine thanks and the rest of you can go fuck yourselves.
When I look at the title of the substack article below I can't help but hear the XTC hit, "Making Plans For Nigel". If only there was a talented, musical family who could satirise it into "Writing Cheques For Nigel"... @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/nick...
In 2023 the right forced NatWest, owner of Coutts, to apologise for closing Farage's account. Its chief executive, Dame Alison Rose, had to resign. Given what we know know about Farage, she should ask for her job back Piece from me
I've just seen an AI advert for glasses that proudly proclaimed, "Designed for UK eyes". Really? Is this the future of advertising in a nationalistic world?
The story here is sadly, "able to enjoy fresh food" and not "able to enjoy free food" as I first thought...
The ONLY upside that I can see to so much plastic in the ocean, is that in a million years time fossils will come in little plastic baubles that come apart to reveal the fossil you've found.
This could very well be the most important story in politics for the last decade and a half. Please read and share this equally harrowing and illuminating account by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social of just how dark the money in politics pit really goes. Absolutely mind blowing.
Farage, the money launderer and me: a decade of denial
The Reform leader’s relationship with the UK media has enabled him to operate with impunity for years. This past fortnight, that impunity finally appeared to be coming to an end. Carole Cadwalladr, wh...

What I like most about the story of Odysseus is when he turned his staff into a snake, cured his own leprous hand and turned the water of the Nile into blood. My mistake, that was Moses in the bible proving the existence of God. Apparently a much more believable, true story to many.
Watching a rule breaking, cheating thug lifting the World Cup trophy would cause embarrassment the world over. Thank goodness Rodrigo took it off him before Trump had a chance to hold it aloft.
It would be quite fitting if Donald Trump was accidentally crushed by a 30ft tall golden replica of the World Cup as it topples over on top of him.
If Messi is struggling to find a route through Spain he could do worse than try Santander to Barcelona via Zaragoza. It worked for me on a 2003 driving holiday. #ESPARG
A Luis Vuitton monogrammed trophy trunk? FFS The game really has gone and it died right there in that moment under the gaze of Gianni Sycofantino and Donald Trump.
Remember, there have been far fewer bronze medal winning teams than there have been finalists at the World Cup. Quite an achievement. 😉
When he retires from playing football, Jordan Henderson should be catapulted straight into the coaching team at England's St George's training centre for younger age groups in anticipation of promotion through the ranks.

Steve Wilson and Danny Murphy are a much better commentary team pairing than Guy Mowbray and Alan Shearer. Then again, any commentary team is better than one containing Alan Shearer. #FRAENG
Just seven more goals and half a dozen assists in this game for Rice and he's in with a shout for the Golden Boot. #FRAENG
