I love the change in Farage's demeanour throughput from from smug smile, to sneer, to angry scowl. Good to see the mask slip. May we see it more

Mine hasn't either, but mine is still an EU passport.
Watching this current US administration is like watching The West Wing, but written by George R R Martin.
It's never him is it? Always someone else to blame. "A big boy did it and ran away".
Always surprising for those of us who grew up with black and white tv to see Rupert the Bear in colour.
To raise that they would have to take $30 000.00 in tariff charges from each man woman and child in the US
Yeah it's as bad either way I guess. He should start out by deporting his advisors.
Hands up who had 'Starmer is a closet racist' on their bingo card?
Can't believe that I would ever have been relieved to see the back of Alexander Isak.
Let’s be honest. Carswell is not alone. You don’t tweet unless you know it’s a popular belief. There are many in public roles, in pubs and at dinner tables who believe this. This is a persecution of Muslims in the UK and anyone with any sense of humanity, who cares about Britain must call this out .
Steven Miller, JD Vance et al are content to let Trump continue with his rambling lunacy whilst they get Project 2025 in place.
Has Jeremy announced that he wants to be known as Vanessa as he wants to have babies?
😂😂😂😂 Couldn't breathe properly there for a minute I once sat behind Sir Geoff Hurst on a plane. I think that trumps him
The Times says Reform “has no track record to weigh it down”… Other than: Islamophobia, racism, inept councillors, MP absenteeism, admiration for Putin, love of Trump, brazen grifting, idiotic manifesto, dodgy donations and Brexit… the single stupidest thing the country has done in our lifetimes.
I wonder if they picked her on the basis that she hadn't posted anything iffy on social media in the last twelve months?
Imagine doing a deal with a bunch of fundamentalist crazies with no interest in the rule of law. Don't know what the Taliban are thinking.
Dogpoop Commandos.
I've just watched Dan Wootton's interview with Lucy Connolly and both of them kept making the apparently killer point that there were no riots happening when she sent her tweet... and er.. isn't that kind of the point? I mean she literally admitted to inciting racial hatred.
Taking a leaf out of his role model Donald's book Rely on the fact that your base are too brainwashed and stupid to question your sums
And if your MP is a Labour MP, ask them to please change policy from appeasing/aping the far right. The only way Starmer’s going to change from being Farage-lite is from pressure from within.
"The creatures outside looked from Labour MP to Reform MP, and from Reform MP to Labour MP again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
A shiver looking for a spine to run up
In the run-up to the election, Trump said... and he said it 53 times... that he’d end the Ukraine war within 24 hours. He's currently been in office for 4992 hours. No sign of peace yet. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

Too woke?
Same.
An easy mistake to make if you are a drooling xenophobic moron
Did this moron think that having the option to cross the English channel, that migrants chose to cross the North Sea? Really?......
When the retailer Woolworths went belly up in the UK there was a groundswell of people decrying its demise but also admitting they hadn't shopped there for years. If we want it to succeed we need to keep posting, liking and retweeting the crap out of this platform.
Anyone looking at the state of America right now & thinking “Ooh I want to emulate that in the UK” does not deserve a platform, a moment’s consideration or the opportunity to spout their insanity where others could hear and potentially get sucked in to the utter bollocks. No. Enough of this idiocy.
This is absolutely horrendous.
False claim online that photo shows Channel boat migration - it's actually from Libya in 2021 fullfact.org/immigration/...
Turkey’s EV breakout in 2025 is no coincidence. BEV share hit 28.6% in June—up 133% YoY. Behind the surge? 🇹🇷 Togg—Turkey’s homegrown EV hero. In H1 2025, the T10X outsold Tesla, BYD & Renault. A regional S-curve in full swing. Another local pride meets energy transition. #EV #Disruption #Scurve
Where does your head have to be to not think 'Exploiting my tenants for extra profit might not be a good look' ?
Now that'll be a debate worth watching 🍍🤣🤣🤣
Trump: "This one chart really says it better than anything, if you look at this. This is great. But this chart is pretty amazing. Right here. All new numbers."
In his case the curse is keeping living.
If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.
Now this is a master class 🔥
Yeah, those terrifs, huh..? Tricky little bastards.
Brilliant
Surprising how many get taken down by very small amounts of greed
We tell ourselves that it's not the same as what happens in Iran, El Salvador or Belarus because, you know, this is the USA. We have to stop telling ourselves that, we really do.
Hopefully the Democrats will respond with the energy of Gavin Newsom, rather than the energy of Chuck Schumer.
People are appallingly ignorant about immigration. They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on. It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.
If only Charles Hawtrey was still alive.
Kc5?
No you're wrong, it's crime mixed in with a lot of racism.
And yet no sanctions on Russia.
And of course if he's wrong he would call an election and resign right?..... Right?.....
Is that 238lb with an empty diaper or fully loaded?
Yeah, just what you need in a surgeon, somebody who drinks wine by the boxful.
I wonder if her new country realise quite how much she hates Muslims?
People who pronounce mischievous as miss-cheev-ee-us should be covered in honey and staked out over an anthill.
If you drop 6 catches in one innings you don't deserve to win.
Not been Zak Crawley's biggest fan but he has batted really well on a difficult surface.
Never seen a fossil fuel power station that looked better than a wind turbine
You should have complimented him on his hat, he likes that.
I believe that AI could be used to improve the lives of everybody. I do know that it will actually be used to wring out every last bit of profit for people like Musk at the expense of workers.
The last change you helped usher in here was Brexit and Boris Johnson.
Somebody is going to shoot one at some point and it will lead to an interesting court case.
So Donald Trump wants us to believe that Obama created the Epstein files and had them show a previous democrat president visit the island 28 times? Make it make sense
Jeez Otto, are you colonising again? I thought we'd talked about this
Do you have a VPN you would recommend Paul?
He couldn't win when the other option was Boris Johnson FFS!
I think every day should be the Bretwalda's birthday, because every night that you aren't smothered In your sleep is a wondrous event
I like Zack. He will be a good leader.
We must say, ‘No’ No. Those are not ‘legitimate concerns’ No. There is NO excuse for terrorising asylum seekers. NONE. It is racism and thuggery. A loss of self control and decency. And any politician justifying it instead of calling it out in the strongest terms, is complicit in the moral collapse.
Died surrounded by the bodies of dead bats would be more appropriate, but the guy is a legend.
Which is an upgrade to last year's guideline which was 'try less hard not to die'.
I know it looks like fun but baby leopards are paid very poorly.
It is entirely unsurprising that the founder of "Labour YIMBYs", Chris Worrall, has just defected to the Conservatives. These build-everywhere fanatics are welcomed by capital in all its brutal manifestations, as they trample over democracy and ecosystems.
I'm in a foreign bar and everyone thinks I'm a cunt. What's your point?
What words remain for a government that goes to court to insist it be allowed to continue selling weapons to a state committing genocide, then sends a letter of complaint when those weapons are used?
This stinks to high heaven.
Bad news for Floridian women though.
I have been very disappointed at the failure of the person looking after my garden to make Campanula thrive Oh wait, that's me.....
The anthems are always required. The problem you need to address is why you feel that you no longer need it
Thoughts and prayers
Trying to think of any other politician where that question would need to be asked. I genuinely don't know the answer.
Mum and dad got excited watching the livestream from Agincourt. Celebrated with a bit too much mead and 9 months later.....
Donald Trump holds impromptu press conference on Whitehouse lawn
This is Trump in microcosm. Every moment is his moment. Nobody gets a lion's share of the limelight when he is present, no matter what their achievement. Classic behaviour for a narcissistic sociopath who doesn't believe he's the centre of the world, he believes he is the world.
It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Will. Move. On. To. The. Next. Group. He. Hates.
There seems to be a new breed of politician whose only talent is being able to persuade turkeys to vote for Christmas.
It gets tricky when the other side keep the receipts
And it doesn't matter whether or not the autism exists, even someone with autism can work out that if you're not wearing underwear it is really important to keep your trousers on. Pretty sure that there isn't an epedemic elsewhere of people with autism waving their genitals about.
150 years ago: the Victorians would let a viaduct destroy the Ribble Valley. We need transport, but at what cost?
Some of his captaincy decisions have been questionable.
Stokes all rounder abilities are a real boon when he is fit, but so many worries about his fitness as a bowler and his batting form is not great either
If I were Starmer would write to Trump and say that sadly because of financial constraints experienced due to tariffs we are unable to host the state visit
I hope that the UK will start to align themselves with EU, Canada, Mexico, Japan etc. and work out how to help each other weather the financial storm that Donny Diaper is whipping up. We need to collectively tell him to do one.
This is what happens when you take a chainsaw when what's needed is a scalpel. I guess waving a scalpel about on stage doesn't give you much of a drug induced buzz.
My main worry was not his form but his fitness and whether he would last the match. Particularly as Stokes seemed to be carrying an injury Not sure who deserved to play in his place.
Two cannibals eating a clown. One says "Does this taste funny to you?"
“You can’t keep a good man down” - cannibal with acid reflux.
Yes. Yes Brexit WAS a pile of shit. A pile of absurd, simple-minded, backward-looking, gurning, flag-shagging shit. With a unicorn perched on top #newsnight
