This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.
Not taking Farage seriously or mocking his support is what earned us Brexit. I thought this penny might have already dropped…
It worked…
You want President Vance?
People here really want 3 years of President Vance?
And all I can think is that AI is arguing with an AI…
The irony that Ace Face in the film was a total fraud!
It’s OK - my Granddad was reactionary too
A “poitical prisoner” who pleaded guilty. Wherebwas the courage in her convictions? If you’ll pardon the pun…https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce83pj1ggmeo.amp
There is a distinction between what she said and what he said though…
It’s a tricky one. They have a right to protest - they could’ve stood outside the base and made their point, but is what they did legitimate protest? In any case what they did I don’t think helps their cause…
In fairness, your average cocker spaniel could outsmart Trump so there is that…
I’m reminded of Farage’s own time at school where he would allegedly sing Hitler Youth songs. British values and all that…
If you had any doubts about the intended audience for today's migration announcements, the newspapers Starmer took questions from at the press conference were: Times, Sun, Mail, Express. No one else.
Starmer is an extraordinary bad communicator. Even if I agreed with the immigration white paper I’d still be cringing listening to this turgid speech.
I have armbands!

Tweet by Alex Cole mocking a government post, showing a Homeland Security document stating Kilmer Armado Abrego-Garcia has no criminal history, contradicting a tweet below from Attorney General Pamela Bondi's account linking to information on him.
Do they even read the files they post?
Britain, a trading nation, now has a vital choice to make about its priority trading partners:
- the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court
- the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse
This is the most important moment for Britain's relationship with Europe since the day we left the EU. The battle is here now. It's upon us. We are about to find out if Keir Starmer will deliver on his commitment to Europe....
Some of you forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

There are three key facts in the Holocaust Encyclopedia produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is the second key fact: What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.
This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino
The good news is that the world is done with this unhinged lunatic. They’re not going to back down from him. None of us should.
Europeans' belief in the importance of the EU has surged to record levels, according to a survey released yesterday.
74% now say their country benefits from being in 🇪🇺 - up from 50% in 2010. And the biggest reason is about security, *not* the economy.
