For our American friends.

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

"Dear Diary, Made the foolish mistake of doing a couple of interviews today. Thought I could deal with questions about the £5 million by saying "None of your business!" but it seems I'm expected to be 'accountable' in some way. As if! Where do people get these weird ideas from?"

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

Melania documentary struggles in UK cinemas as Vue admits sales are ‘soft’

Melania documentary struggles in UK cinemas as Vue admits sales are ‘soft’

One ticket sold for premiere of film about US first lady at Vue’s flagship London branch as insiders question launch strategy As film exhibitor strategies go, counter-programming is one of the most reliable. It worked for The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia!, released in the US on the same day in 2008, as well as for Dunkirk and Girls Trip in 2017. In 2023, Barbie and Oppenheimer leveraged the tactic to the tune of $2.5bn in combined box office takings. This week we could see another example as Amazon releases its authorised documentary about Melania Trump in more than 100 UK cinemas. There it will compete against an already-eclectic slate of releases including the Jason Statham action film Shelter, the ape horror Primate, Bradley Cooper’s comedy-drama Is This Thing On? and Richard Linklater’s Jean-Luc Godard fictionalisation Nouvelle Vague.

Zelenskyy says that he doesn't think Putin wants peace because "he doesn't speak about peace" Putin is also invading and attacking Ukraine If Putin wanted peace, he would stop

Disastrously stupid. Incredibly destructive to the US and the State Department. Important to make sure that Rubio gets his full share of the blame for the devastation to American diplomacy and security that he has personally overseen.

An intriguing programme on Radio 4 every day this week at 1.45pm. Looking at the characters from Winnie the Pooh, and asking which one are you. I can't pick one, but am always one or other of these two!

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up. A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

The saddest part of the FIFA ‘peace prize’ was how excited Senile Satan got over a fake award.

Greg Hands should be interviewed under caution. He shouldn't be the last Tory MP to do so either.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

Call me crazy but I've got a sneaking feeling that putting the country in charge of a politician who likes to encourage people to publicly burn religious texts won't work out too well

Who could have guessed that Trump's "Give me the peace prize now or I'll go to war with you" strategy wouldn't work out?

What a mad world. 93% of the US stock market is owned by just 10% of the population. And they’re not just collecting wealth beyond the dreams of avarice - they’re collecting power, owning media, social media, buying politicians and policy. buff.ly/87x6thv
