“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News.
Here's some of the leaflets Reform have been putting out ahead of the local elections
The response to this extraordinary piece tells us so much.
The British media and establishment remains so obsequious and deferential to royalty that to have the truth spoken so openly and freely feels positively revolutionary.
Yes so refreshingly honest
Very good from Jonn Elledge and the truth is that many people on the further edges of the right have always been like that.
Is he one of those people who dropped the double barrel to look normal... or has he adopted the double barrel to shore up the dick he is.
thought the name rang a bell and though he's poshified himself - once upon a time he was "Craig Dillon" - I interviewed this guy back in 2019 as he was doing social media for MPs in a vaguely interesting way - crucially, he seemed entirely normal back then! yet another radicalisation case
We are facing an energy crisis. Britain is the worst exposed in Europe with only 2 days gas supply stored. If only we had our own gas to exploit. Or our own oil. Or our own coal.... Blame @Ed Miliband (Allison Pearson on X)
If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.
The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.
Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.
Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.
This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026
Fragments look accurate. I'll track it down.

I'd forgotten she even existed but what a nasty pow
That LRB piece, which features those old allegations that Sarah Ferguson's Budgie the Helicopter plagiarised Hector, sent me down a right old hole..

An echo chamber
Unfortunately these sewers pollute the mainstream and everyone can be susceptible
Yes it's important to be abreast of it all
That's very kind Sarah
Brilliant piece this - and it makes you wonder , why the veil hasn’t been lifted on these parasites, a long time ago? - probably due to deference to QE2… no one in the establishment press wanted to draw her courtiers’ ire.
I do it simply because it's important to keep an eye on what they are doing and getting away with.
Talk is one long parade of presenters saying awful things and narratives that are disconnected from truth and awful people ringing in to agree with them
I dip in to GB News and Talk because it's important to see what they are saying and getting away with.
My impression is that both are pushing the boundaries of "acceptable discourse" well beyond the limits.
Stuff like this has become normal, and it's frightening.
When the curtain is whipped back there, they stand. Why the hell we put up with this nonsense, I really do not understand. It's not enough to say "it was only Andrew and Sarah".
The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

Fun fact: no Trump fought in any of the major wars of the 20th or 21st century.
That must be some kind of record.
I think he should talk about taking over Disneyland.
After all Trump runs a Mickey Mouse government.
I'd guess so
Ah and as if by magic this pops up
bsky.app/profile/jeff...
My guess too
My crazy prediction?
Trump will do a "Mission Accomplished" thing and then blame the lack of regime change on "cowardly" Iranians not rising up and overthrowing the government.
He'll then move on to some other distraction.
I give it a week or so tops.
It's been another amazing Opposites Day in the United States.
It's all become so weirdly routine unfortunately
