In case you're wondering just how cooked the UK's brains are over small boat mania, the BBC is currently reporting on the fact the suspect in the Greek suitcase murder case came to Greece as a refugee 23 years ago, when he was a child. How is that relevant at all?

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Interesting to hear Zia Yusef trying to frame this as a humanitarian project using the language of the ECHR to say France has to take ‘migrants’ back. That will be the ECHR rules that Reform wants to leave. #r4today

It just keeps on coming… Farage struck deal to return as leader long before Sunak called surprise 2024 vote, so his claim that he wasn’t involved in politics when he got his £5million “gift” is, of course, another grubby lie. The man is garbage. Grifting, lying, cheating garbage. (Sunday Times)

Farage struck deal to return as leader long before election Reform chief had insisted he was not involved in politics until Sunak called surprise 2024 vote Extracts; Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform UK leader months before the general election. Farage negotiated the pact with Richard Tice, then the leader, in March and April 2024. George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who had been secretly bankrolling Farage, supervised the discussions. Under the terms of the deal, Reform agreed to repay or write off more than £1 million in outstand ing loans it had taken from Tice's company upon Farage becoming leader. The deal was first presented by Farage and Cottrell to the party's treasurer in mid-May. Its existence undermines the Reform leader's claim that he had no intention until June 2024 of returning to politics. Farage has used this to defend his failure to declare donations made to him in the year before he was elected as an MP, which triggered two parliamentary investigations. Last night, Reform sources acknowledged the existence of the deal but insisted it had been drafted for if, not when, Farage became leader. Asked why he would have signed such an agreement if he had no intention of returning as leader, they said it kept his options open. They said Farage had assumed he would focus his energies on campaigning for Donald Trump in that year's US presidential election. Farage has claimed repeatedly that he did not need to declare a £5 million gift from the crypto--billionaire Christopher Harborne or in-kind benefits from Cottrell, as he was a media personality at the time. MPs must declare any benefit in any way connected to their "political activities" received in the 12 months before their election. He told the "anti-woke" Trigger-nometry podcast last month: "At that period of my life, from 2021 to the third of June 2024, I was a broadcaster… I was somebody that promoted financial market products, I was an influencer, I wasn't in politics."

Can't wait to get stuck into this one - I absolutely loved 'Anthropocene' and can't wait to see what Pete's cooked up this time.

You know that saying about not buying a book by its cover…I bought this purely based on the cover. How could you not? Ibrahim Maalouf - Trumpets of Michel-Ange Vol. 2

As someone who lives near a bit of dual carriageway where these people race up and down I completely agree. Men (and let’s be honest it’s 99% men) who do this have the tiniest penises in the world that’s a scientific fact. Pass it on.

Every single person who rides an ostentatiously noisy motorbike can just fuck off. Those who do so in London or any town or city, and especially those who use chainsaw-volume engine revving as a “warning” can then fuck off all over again.

I'm on the train from Montréal to Toronto. There's just been a reminder that it is MANDATORY to use headphones when watching video. I can't believe this guys have resorted to legislation, rather than our system of having 75% of the carriage sit in murderous, futile rage.
