Look, I’ve got a lot of time for Zack Polanski and the Greens, but I do think scheduling an address to the Prime Minister today, on the day the trans segregation EHRC guidance comes into force, and not talking about it or speaking out against it is certainly a choice.

This morning I was joined by a firefighter, a medic, a former soldier and Chris Packham to call on the government to act now. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on rockets crashing into the moon: "It's not a big deal right now. The moon has clearly seen better days."

If Rafael Behr had spent even 30 seconds on Bonehill-Paine’s old website he would not be either falling for or have the gumption to deliberately propagate this lie that B-P was pragmatically pro Corbyn. The vilest antisemitism was the main focus but lots of very extreme content against ‘the left’

Me: (a smart columnist, looking at claims made by an ex-Tory neo-Nazi booted out of the party for crimes, now standing as a Tory councillor whole doing a rehabilitation tour parroting the agreed media line in his new “anti-extremism” gig) This is extremely convincing stuff, and very worrying.

Interesting passage in the mea culpa on antisemitism from Tory council candidate at centre of selection row, supporting the view
- fiercely denied by most on left at the time - that Corbyn was a magnet drawing antisemitic cranks into Labour.
By 2015, when I was 22 turning 23, this ideology had become my whole exis-tence. I welcomed Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader because I saw him as hostile to Israel and aligned with anti-Zionist politics. In my mind, all of this was part of the same war. Alongside those I associated with, I began targeting Jewish MPs and becoming loudly vocal about what we called "Jew-ish infiltration". One of my peers had been arrested and jailed for targeting Luciana Berger in an antisemitic cam-paign. Rather than seeing that as a

First of all, that’s two questions, you fucking moron. Secondly, yes, I already get through every workday without these demented death-powered billionaire’s lunch tickets perfectly well. Would I miss them? Mate, the only reason I’d even notice they were gone is cunts like you whining about it.

* All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?

This is all horrific stuff, and I invite you to go back to 2018/19 and reread her columns, newspaper interviews and podcast appearances talking about it, and then decide who it sounds like it was, that had been doing all this.

Even I am taken aback at the new and surprising ways these people find to insult the public’s intelligence and make it more clear the only operative professional standard in force is “LOL fuck you”

Badenoch said: "So I want to be very clear, and I think people can look at me and know that I'm not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis to the Conservative Party.
"Joshua Bonehill-Paine is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on anti-Semitism and on countering extremism.
"Yes, he is somebody who had been previously convicted for this, but he is someone has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew he had caused previously.
"He's going up and down the country training people and the Conservative Party believes in second chances.
"This is not just someone that we've picked up who's a convicted criminal, this is somebody who is actively working to help communities, especially Jewish communities and this is what I want to see.
"I want second chances for people, for people who've learned their lessons, for people who are showing that they know what they did was wrong.
"What I don't want to see is early release of people who have no contrition whatsoever, who don't care, and who are going to be out on the streets actually harming people.

The Mail, call him 'brilliantly funny'. Kemi Badenoch calls his death 'heartbreaking' John Humphries calls him 'wonderful to work with'. Editor of Sunday Times says he had a 'wonderful way with words'. He wrote he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" if he was a teacher

‘Brilliantly funny and wise’: Tributes as journalist Rod Liddle dies aged 66
Daily Mail4 Aug 2026By Aidan Radnedge

Career: Rod Liddle worked for Labour before joining the BBC
JOURNALIST and broadcaster Rod Liddle has died aged 66 after a short illness.

The Sunday Times and Sun columnist was editor of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme from 1998 to 2002 and more recently presented shows on Times Radio.

He also had a weekly column in The Spectator, where he was an associate editor.

He met his second wife, Alicia Monckton, on the magazine and they married in 2008. He was previously married to fellow journalist Rachel Royce.

He died on Sunday evening at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'

The Times full page - ‘Brilliant, provocative, inimitable’
Rod Liddle, who has died aged 66, combined a serious intellect with razor-sharp wit, writes Alex Farber

This whole incident is helpfully instructive, isn’t it. Here, we have the country’s worst politicians, including a former Prime Minister, queuing up to salute a bold iconoclast who irreverently spoke truth to power and discomfited the great and good. It makes it pretty clear, does it not.

Heartsick at the death of Rod Liddle - an outrageously funny and gifted writer with a beautiful conversational style. He had a unique talent for finding the thing that was obviously true but supposedly unsayable and then saying it with such panache as to give the maximum possible offence - and to all the right people. Spectator readers absolutely loved him.

I see this and I think about all the long years of relentless filthy abuse these swine have thrown at good and well-meaning people, to make the country more comfortable and more compliant for thoroughly unpleasant and actively malicious people like themselves.

'Brilliant, provocative, inimitable'
Rod Liddle, who has died aged 66, comhined a serious intellect with razor-sharp wit writes Alex Farter

I have questions like: if all of these lads think this appalling person was a standout, an exemplar of their profession - what is their profession? What exactly is it that they get paid to do. Are they being paid to ensure the public are well informed, in a healthy and pleasant democratic society?

The honest assessment here has to be that the man was paid to be as much of a cunt as he could about absolutely everything, and he excelled at it because he enjoyed being one. But nobody can say that, because it raises questions about what exactly it is *they* are paid to do.

I'm so sad to hear that Rod Liddle has died. He was a brilliant, contentious columnist, so valuable to public life because not only did he have a fierce and witty intellect, but he was unafraid to be disliked - a most unusual quality in our nervous age 1/Jenni Russell • @jennirsl • 3h
So many people with a public voice are terrified of being seen as anything other than a Good Person, so they repeat current pieties.
Rod cut through sanctimony. He was mischievous, insightful, sometimes deliberately appalling, often powered by tremendous moral scorn 2/

But he never engaged in virtue-signalling though he could in fact be amazingly generous. I knew him when we were both BBC radio editors, he of Today and I of The World Tonight. Rod was tremendously, admirably competitive, but on a night when i was given five minutes' notice.
