I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.
But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.
🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms
"I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"
Today I will mostly be trying to bribe people with cheap petrol, in the hope that they will forget that I have been cheering on the orange idiot whose war is pushing up fuel prices.
Great timing.
No.
This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.
Right-wing media, Reform and Tories all betrayed us this week. They couldn’t bring themselves to back the govt or our country because it would mean putting their nasty, point-scoring, twatty politics aside for the greater good. They exposed our post-Brexit weakness and their own toxic incompetence.
Boris Johnson says Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage...
The idea the North Sea is some great goldmine waiting to be tapped is entirely at odds with reality.
I'm old enough to have lived through every war since Vietnam. And while we've been lied to many times about why we're in a war, I've never seen such a screw up in my life. He has no idea what he's doing. None. And neither do the people around him.
Gentle reminder for those idiots that want Britain to get fully involved in an illegal war in the Middle East built on a false argument around WMD, in 2003 we had an economy larger than China and could put about 60,000 servicemen and women into the field.
It's history, not current affairs.
White text: strange how nobody cares about pedestrian safety until the villainous cyclist shows up
It's shameful way bus user groups, bus industry & Lords routinely blame cycling for their woes while ignoring the rising & ever-present issue of too much traffic. TfL has done entire studies on this. But hey, climate, pollution, road danger, inactivity. Who cares right? Let's kick cycling some more.
weight loss drugs are transforming lives but they are also letting politicians and a food industry that profits from selling us addictive, nutrient free slop off the hook

The increasing use of the "kinetic conflict" jargon makes me ill. It's just another way of distancing ourselves from the fact that we are killing human beings, including children, for no reason at all. Call it war. Didn't the president rename the department that because you all love it so much?
There's something deeply undignified about this
G’wan lad!
Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
He's not alone. The former Reform councillor below wanted support from the party with what should have been an open goal against local Labour and was effectively ignored. (Warrington's attempts at 'commercialisation' have failed miserably).

America is Disintegrating Because of a Dangerously Mentally-Disturbed President
bandyxlee.substack.com/p/america-is...
as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,
this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID
OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!
Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds
But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣
Right, let's get started...

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
The thing which worries me the most is this.
What is the point at which the US and Israel will consider that they have achieved their goals?
They have already established overwhelming military superiority, and can stop Iran's nuclear programme at will. 1/3
Spanish PM Sánchez on Trump's threat to end trade:
"We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and contrary to our values and interests simply because of fear of reprisals... We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional & moral strength of our country."
