It’s not just four years of marvelling at how awful he is, it’s four years of being dumbfounded by the desperate dishonesty of supporters. If a photo of Taylor Swift or Hilary Clinton waving is somehow ‘proof’ that Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute in plain sight, what else will they pretend to believe?

Banksy drops another bomb.

Wishing all my Bluesky followers a happy Christmas and all good wishes for 2025.

I can hear you singing “I’m in the money!” - don’t be spending it all at once 😂

Bring back Erasmus+ and youth mobility in Europe Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme
