“Those years when he’d fly halfway across the world for a selfie to prove… how close they were? Now he had to accept the brutal truth: the guy is toxic, electoral kryptonite. A loser.” Farage was a Trump mega fan. Time he paid his own electoral price for that. www.independent.co.uk/voices/donal...

Now, (after Buddhism and Hari Krishna, and) latterly dedicated to the teachings of Christ, Russell #Brand’s very visible displays of devotion - have seemed farcical. It’s going to be a “difficult” Christmas for the Gallaghers - and - So it should be = Scumbag. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...
‘He’s manipulating its power’: why did Russell Brand convert to Christianity?
Sincere or self-serving, the disgraced comedian’s case shows how the church became a culture war frontier

A self-professed Christian. A friend of MAGA. Host of a mental health podcast. None of these could save Russell Brand from a guilty verdict in his rape trial. "It is a story of sexual abuse we have now heard so many times," says Emily Maitlis www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/how-...

A celebrity using his status and fame to sexually assault women? We’ve heard this story before…

It would appear that Murdoch is terrified that the EU will bring to the American authorities’ attention - his family’s multi-generational undeclared / untaxed wealth - as lodged in British 🇬🇧 Overseas Territories (aka the “Treasure Islands”). Nikkei appear less concerned. BIN #BREXIT = British Bonus
Compare and contrast… Reporting on the Brexit reset from the FT and the Sun… A grown up v an absolute child. Analysis v a pathetic strop. Facts v name-calling nonsense. “£17bn economic boost to UK GDP” v “lifting a few nitpicking checks” Embarrassing petulance. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
A friend of mine is known for rescuing pugs. One was brought to them with the name “Snoopy” - but due to its dark colouring, its name has evolved (over time) to “Snoop Dog” 🐶

Yeah, Russell Brand was "fawned over by the left". The left aren't the ones who defended Brand against accusations of sexual assault. The left aren't the ones who welcomed him into the tribe *after* he had been credibly accused of rape, because he started spouting bigoted BS on Rumble #r4today
Ever-so convenient of the Daily Mail to neglect to mention that as soon as it became clear that the allegations against him were going to surface, RB reinvented himself as a right wing grifter/Trump fan. Because actually ‘the left’ - with our pesky ‘cancel culture’ - are less forgiving of SA.
UK can rejoin EU without adopting Euro — but only on one condition, Barnier says - Freedom of Movement is "not negotiable". Fine by me - in fact, its one of the main benefits as far as I'm concerned, so what are we waiting for? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Whilst Nigel Farage tries to distance himself from Trump and his Iran war, let’s not forget his support for Trump and his Iran war.
Farage would have been Donald Trump's poodle as PM ... because he's already Donald Trump's poodle
Whilst Nigel Farage tries to distance himself from Trump and his Iran war, let’s not forget his support for Trump and his Iran war.
Deeply dishonest from the Mail. The only group who "fawned over" Russell Brand once the truth was revealed about him was the Trump-supporting /GB News right, who have spent the past five years portraying him as a free speech, anti-woke martyr
Why did so many on the left cosy up to Russell Brand when he was a massive international star who hadn’t been accused of rape? Why did so many on the right hero-worship him when he was an unhinged conspiracy theorist who had? I mean, it’s not exactly the same question is it?
When Russell Brand secured an interview with one celebrity, he offered to send his female assistant to the man, naked, as a token of his appreciation. That celebrity was Jimmy Savile, who after his death was revealed as one of Britain’s worst sex offenders. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

. . . and that is why the GOP hates early postal voting. No one needs to be scared of a redneck goon with a gun - sitting outside the polling station.
Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total That race was over before the polls opened yesterday
Even just talking about the possibility of rejoining the EU is helping the UK economy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Oh the pride that comes before the fall…. They’re all so cocksure that their money can buy democracy for them. Spoilt little richboys assuming they’ve got it all sewn up. Genuinely uplifting to see voters say, “fuck that”. Time to think about jumping, Farage. Before you’re pushed.

Trump’s two presidential election victories were seen as a fundamental shift in America, even though he never achieved 50% of the national popular vote. Last night he was one big loser! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
US midterms voters said: enough is enough. Is this the beginning of the end for Trump?
With Democrats in power, Trump may be under siege and lose his dominance over the Republican party – but his id will relish the prospect of fighting
