Quite impressive to completely undermine your own defence and insult most of your party's elected officials in the same sentence.

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.

My classic Tory dad loved gardening. But also as an engineer who appreciated science, he'd be horrified to see the change in the party he was also a local chair for. As his roses and lawn wilted in the sun, he'd despair, I think. Such a nonsensical position for Badenoch to take. No surprise there.

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.

The fact that various people are saying Liddle was nice in private speaks to a columnist disease - people having nasty and ugly views once a week for money, with little care for the social consequences. But enjoy that £1 a word!

I sort of think people should be kind in public and private

As for Tice. How an Uppingham educated guy who inherited £millions from the family property empire and lives in Dubai for tax reasons and has the demeanour of a posh overbearing arrogant public school educated multimillionaire manages to talk about "elites" and "establishment" and "ordinary people"

Ice cream Kant.

It's his leg being crossed that does it for me. The laconic, relaxed, laid-back nonchalance that is the hallmark of every single climate denying idiot. 'Pfft, what do I care?' WHY DO YOU NOT CARE!?

So it looks like the dark money Cottrell scandal around Farage now involves people in Trump's circle too

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Why is this man always, always surrounded by criminals? KEEP ASKING THE QUESTION.

Law enforcement must now establish who knew what, and when. And Farage must answer the question he's been dodging for a decade: why is this man always, always surrounded by criminals? Read the full, excellent investigation by @nafeez.bsky.social here: bylinetimes.com/2026/07/23/p...

Farage struts around lecturing us all about supposed establishment stitch-ups and dodgy elites. But look at what's actually behind him: a cabal of convicted fraudsters, mystery millionaires and offshore fixers - while Farage asks for your vote and hides who's pulling the strings.

Then, the moment the Electoral Commission called in the police over the Cottrell money, what did Farage do? He rushed through a restructure of his party that hides who really controls it. Having spent 15 years working in financial compliance, I'll say it plainly: this is not normal behaviour.

I just endured a video from Keir Starmer on his LinkedIn, trying to cement his legacy or something. But the captions are autogenerated and when one woman says "when I first met Sir Keir Starmer" it reads beneath: "When I first met Sockeye Salmon" and so that is his name forever now.

Bellingham giving up a penalty and the chance to become England’s highest ever goal scorer in a World Cup and handing it to Saka so he can get a hat trick is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

I take a bizarre pleasure in reading these where the man has clearly misread signals and behaved clumsily at best without even realising. Men!

sorry I'll stop going on about it soon but it is so funny to me that last night I kept having to explain to my brother and his friend that watching England play isn't like watching France play, you're not actually meant to be having a good time, it's not a fun activity at all

He never deleted it.
