Well, that's a hell of a thing to leave next to a statue of Joan of Arc.😏

Farage said he wants Trump’s ICE Czar, Tom Homan, over here to do a similar job. This isn’t British. It would ape the pre-1938 SS. We don’t want Farage to rehearse the depraved history of mid twentieth century Germany here. Farage’s fanatics (below) point to the path he’s on bsky.app/profile/theo...

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham hosted the first-ever Rough Sleeping Summit at Downing Street, bringing together businesses, charities, housing providers and local leaders. Labour has committed a further £432m support beyond winter, to get everyone sleeping rough off the streets before Christmas.

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

meaning solar radiation management, marine cloud brightening, marine biomass regeneration. Sees no future at all for carbon capture; priority is a rapid exit from oil and gas. Talked about the possibility of deaths into the billions by the mid-century. Plus loss and damage measured in trillions.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

RIP Chekov. Your attempts at Russian dancing will always be a fond childhood memory. #WalterKoenig

True I’d definitely have left the planet if she was still in power

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Perfect.

So back on to BBC complaints then, not that that will do feck all to change anything.... www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

In Ireland we suffered under 60 years of Roman Catholic theocracy (they did more harm than the Brits in the 20th century) before throwing off the yoke of church fascism & become one of the most liberal countries in the world & I can tell u cruxification would be too good for everyone in this photo.

Feeling a bit rough this morning after being up all night comforting Richard Tice, who was crying hysterically.

Look at the state of the Oval Office. A whorehouse in Alabama is probably more tasteful.

Happy Days. 😀 The Reform decline continues. 📉 Up to the end of June, according to polls, Reform were predicted to become the largest party in parliament at the next GE. Currently the prediction is they could end up in fourth place behind Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems.

I want my country back - the country that did not have racist wife-beating men in balaclavas roaming streets in gangs, threatening innocent people and NOT being arrested for it

A life-size #Roman marble head found in #Sussex now in the British Museum (1961,1103.1) Our report identifying it as Agrippa Postumus, youngest grandson and adopted heir of Augustus, is open access thanks to @universitypress.cambridge.org www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Happy #StoneHeadSunday

…the coast. In Norfolk they are called Yow-Yows. The singing of a long-dead chorister has been heard in stormy weather off Zennor, #Cornwall. In life his voice was so lovely it tempted a #mermaid to come ashore. A famous ghost haunts Chatham Dockyard, #Kent – that of Admiral Lord Nelson. Shadowy...

When a ship crashed onto the beach at Borth, West #Wales, the locals started robbing it but found the captain, lashed to the wheel, was still alive. They slew him as a witness and his wailing ghost is said to have long been heard. The cries of drowned sailors have warned of coming storms around...

As well as phantom ships, there are many ghosts along the UK coast. I’ve previously ‘done’ the dismembered smuggler in #Norfolk. Another smuggler is seen running, then falling as if shot, at Worbarrow Bay, #Dorset, and an Excise Man haunts the White Cliffs of #Dover. [More #SpookySunday #folklore

UK energy bills could rise even more. Regulator is considering a Market Stabilization Charge to guarantee corporate profits. This would force energy companies to compensate consumers’ old suppliers for lost profits when people switch away. What would the govt do? Watch the Minister's reply.

“Indefinite Leave to Remain means you can live on benefits for the rest of your life” says Nigel Farage Imagine his shock when he finds out just 2.8% of UC claimants have been granted indefinite leave to remain

Most tax calculators tell you how much tax you pay *now*. Ours also shows how much tax you'll pay on your next £1. Your marginal rate. We'll be publishing straight after the Budget. But here's a preview - I'd love to get feedback. buff.ly/ohJ6Une

Nigel Farage was reportedly paid £1.5m for this. The Prime Minster goes on charity Gogglebox to raise money for cancer charities, and HE’S the non-serious leader. 👀

Corporate penetration of the NHS’: Revolving door raises concerns over ADHD review. Instead of expanding NHS capacity, govts hand contacts to private providers making vast profits. The same providers meet ministers to influence terms of reviews. More privatisations follow. Public money buys less.
