The rot set in for the Tories when Boris Johnson fired anyone who opposed a hard Brexit, including Soames (Churchill's grandson) and Grieve. Now Badenoch bans candidates who support net zero or ECHR, but accepts an ex-neo-Nazi found guilty of harassing a Jewish MP as a Tory council candidate.

So interesting 💭 "Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!" The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok. #art

"We must be laser-focused on finding the sources of Farage's donations...oh look, there's Zia Yusuf talking about an immigrant invasion without any evidence." Our media seem to have developed collective ADHD.

Trump now has a vested interest in prolonging the Iran war or starting a new one. He can manipulate the stock market by alternately declaring a ceasefire or threatening genocide. Suckers paying $1.2m a year for early access to his posts won’t be satisfied with a tariff on Penguin Island. War it is!

Unelected Zia Yusuf, MP for Nowhere, is everywhere on British media today, despite the scare story about an invasion by immigrants proving to be bollocks. Reform is considered a mainstream party only because Farage was given the same treatment.

By selling early access to his policy decisions, Trump now has a vested interest in destabilising the stock market. The direction doesn't matter. There's plenty of money to be made from predicting a slump in share prices.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

What triggered the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta?

Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

If this had been in a movie even just a couple of years ago, it would have been considered risible. A corrupt President deliberately influencing the stock market, and now selling early access to ethically-challenged companies.

"Sinking in Polls, Farage Plans Week of Attacks on Immigration" Reform plan to make next week Immigration Week It could finally be the moment for broadcast media to notice the > 75% drop in net migration since 2024. There is also a 42% drop in boat crossings

Bloomberg: Sinking in Polls, Farage Plans Week of Attacks on Immigration

Reform UK party is planning to hold multiple press conferences on immigration to turn public attention to the issue, despite the number of migrants arriving in the country nearly halving from the same time last year.
A total of 14,200 immigrants have arrived in the UK via small boats so far this year, down 44% compared to the same period last year, with the Home Office and National Crime Agency increasing seizures of small-boat engines and improving enforcement cooperation with the French.
The issue of immigration threatens to be riskier territory for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is already facing disquiet from backbench colleagues over reforms proposed during his predecessor's tenure.
