The outrageous behaviour of the Tories & hereditary peers in the House of Lords deserves much wider coverage than it’s getting. Only letting Labour’s manifesto commitment through in return for lots more Tory life peers. What a discredited institution.

BREAKING NEWS:
US Intelligence warns Trump that Greenland is planning to attack America in the next two weeks.
"It is not that one expects these guys to actually *like* Starmer: few of those who actually voted for him do. Nonetheless – when did denizens of the British right convince themselves that backing a foreign leader over their own countrymen was in any way patriotic?"

I'm more interested in asking exactly which subtle piece of Russian propaganda Nathan Gill spouted in the EU Parliament that Nigel Farage did not, and which of Gill’s Russian handlers Farage never met nor had any contact with, ever.
I mean, as starter questions, I have plenty of others.
Still haven’t heard a BBC interviewer ask Farage about his various ‘boycotts’ of the BBC, at least one of which is technically still in place…

It’s time to cut our ties with America and this not so special relationship.

RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES TODAY, ANYBODY.
The Enquirer November 1710 Jonathan Swift There is one essential point wherein a political liar differs from others of the faculty; that he ought to have but a short memory, which is necessary according to the various occasions he meets with every hour, of differing from himself, and swearing to both sides of a contradiction, as he finds the persons disposed, with whom he has to deal. In describing the virtues and vices of mankind, it is convenient upon every article, to have some eminent person in our eye, from whence we copy our description. I have strictly observed this rule; and my imagination this minute represents before me a certain great man famous for this talent, to the constant practice of which he owes his twenty years' reputation of the most skilful head in England, for the management of nice affairs. The superiority of his genius consists in nothing else but an inexhaustible fund of political lies, which he plentifully distributes every minute he speaks, and by an unparalleled generosity forgets, and consequently contradicts the next half-hour
He never yet considered whether any proposition were true or false, but whether it were convenient for the present minute or company to affirm or deny it; so that if you think to refine upon him, by interpreting every thing he says, as we do dreams by the contrary, you are still to seek, and will find yourself equally deceived, whether you believe him or no: the only remedy is to suppose that you have heard some inarticulate sounds, without any meaning at all. And besides, that will take off the horror you might be apt to conceive at the oaths wherewith he perpetually tags both ends of every proposition: though at the same time I think he cannot with any justice be taxed for perjury, when he invokes God and Christ, because he has often fairly given public notice to the world, that he believes in neither.
3Some people may think that such an accomplishment as this, can be of no great use to the owner or his party, after it has been often practised, and is become notorious; but they are widely mistaken: Few lies carry the inventor's mark; and the most prostitute enemy to truth may spread a thousand without being known for the author. Besides, as the vilest writer has his readers, so the greatest liar has his believers; and it often happens, that if a lie be believed only for an hour, it has done its work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and Truth comes limping after it; so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late, the jest is over, and the tale has had its effect: like a man who has thought of a good repartee, when the discourse is changed, or the company parted: or, like a physician who has found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/13169/13169-h/13169-h.htm#link2H_4_0022

Whatever’s going on behind the curtain in Spawn of Satan’s crusade against Iran, you can be sure his ass, his evil spawn, Boy Plunder, his wealthy donors and Putin are all profiting mightily from it.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

Pointless’ Alexander Armstrong is The Torygraph’s new owner. Well, I’d thought he was a little right-leaning, but this is quite a surprise.

“I didn’t bomb those school girls.”
“I didn’t rape that woman.”

WE NEED TO UP THE PRESSURE AGAINST #GOPEpsteinTrumpCOVERUP
On the contrary, Blair's learned that if he can persuade Starmer to do the same thing, his massive fuckup won't look half so bad.
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
An ADSBx map showing C104 flying from Florida to Watertown SD late last night.
Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!
"You want my fuck-palace-in-the-sky? Come and take it."
