We are lucky enough to live 25 mins from the coast. Today we drive to East Preston and walked to Littlehampton There has been a lot of investment in Littlehampton, but the first thing that greeted us was a shiny new flag pole and a Union Jack. Flags are now very prominent 😢

Flying ant day, West Sussex!

Farage can *never* be PM. His greed and needy vanity make him an enormous national security risk. He has no clue how to behave with dignity or probity. The day he gets booted out of public life for good cannot come soon enough. If Clacton has its wits about it, it could be in less than a month.

“Britain is economically weaker and poorer thanks to Brexit, for which Trump’s friend Nigel Farage was one of the main cheerleaders. A strong prime minister should make the case that populism of the kind Farage traffics in has failed to deliver for the people.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Burnham must avoid Starmer’s Trump mistake

Experience shows that voters reward leaders who stand up to the US president

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...

Who has taken over Ed Milliband’s Net Zeto mantle? I really felt he made an incredible impact, in a short time, and was very successful. I would hate to see his achievements vanish into the ether!

Normally they are glued to the footie!! Not tonight though 😾😼

So much for a 15 min break!

Truly lost the will to live!

This is truly awful!!

Checking out! Watching the final with my ‘imaginary’ Spain shirt on. Hope Porro is brilliant and Romero does what he does! 😂 Probably will be unable to resist checking in, but then again the wine might have kicked in and I’ll be asleep. Hadn’t fully appreciated how dreary Spain’s anthem is!

When elite establishment posh boys all scream together that it’s “totally undeclarable in every single way” then it’s clearly intended that the rest of us should doff caps and humbly move on. It’s not happening. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

EU membership could recoup over 90% of the damage to UK economy from Brexit The research suggests that membership would deliver a 3.6% boost to the UK’s economy, equivalent to a £92bn increase in GDP in the long run. In just one year, British businesses could see a £43bn boost in global exports,

Farage has been dishing it out to all and sundry for 25 years. At the first sign of being on the receiving end he whinges and twists pathetically.

In the Clacton by election one candidate talks a load of rubbish, while another is an intergalactic space warrior and the leader of the Recyclons from the planet Sigma IX.

The World Cup half-time show changes the fabric of the match for pure guff. This is the crime those in power continue to commit: football is not a vehicle for other entertainment. Grow up or piss off. inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

The World Cup final's half-time show is an abomination

The terrible music isn't even the most infuriating part

As of 4pm today the candidates were confirmed, & the race for the Clacton by-election is officially on between @countbinface.bsky.social & Farage. Here's our parody of "Englishman in New York" by #Sting - titled "Garbage Can Who Can Talk" - to reflect on the challenger 🎶🚀#noAI youtu.be/9NH5JpqrIzY

The Farage show is tediously self-pitying. Even if his idiotic by-election stunt distracts temporarily from scrutiny of his dodgy finances, his inability to accept and make amends for the significant role he himself plays in the toxification of our politics will not. (Letters in The Times)

Out for my birthday! Footie on record. The arsehole behind us is doing a running commentary on the march! 😬😡

Unashamedly flying the flag!

Waiting for the announcement from Fartrage that he won’t be campaigning in person in Clacton due to ‘fears for his safety’ …

Nigel Farage is not the most verbally and physically attacked MP ever. Jo Cox and David Amiss would have something to say about that but they’re DEAD Oh and Sadiq Khan is the politician who has had the most threats against his life

YES! It’s the only way. 👏

On my way, Clacton.

Here I am in happier times with best buds Nathan Gill, now in jail for taking Russian bribes and George Cottrell, who went to prison for fraud then paid for my staff, security and social media and let me stay in his house near Buckingham Palace.

BBC's political editor Chris Mason having just seen today's Sunday Times.....

Richard Tice now attacking Times journalist Gabriel Pogrund, saying he’s a Labour stooge. They have no defence, so they just divert by attacking this journalist’s integrity.

I don’t give a shit if “Reform denies rules were broken” because the rules are that u have to declare any gifts over £300 for 12 months prior to becoming an MP. So unless they’re saying the Times fabricated the entire story (they’re not), then the rules were very much broken. Denial is irrelevant.

Farage was always master of the grift. Remember ten years ago when @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and I revealed his Leave EU team were in and out of the Russian Embassy in the run up to Brexit, looking for gold and diamond deals with the Kremlin? Farage must have known, and approved. Ten years ago
