Nigel Farage’s criminal funder runs a Montenegro company whose corporate advisors work for a Belgrade Russian-arms dealer and individuals tied to Russian state-linked enterprises"

This might be Graham's funeral, but it's Trump's show. There's one aspect of Teddy Roosevelt that Trump truly does embody. As Alice Longsworth Roosevelt famously said: "My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening."

"Clucking Bell ...."

I think it's more like 'We bought this Paper to sell advertising, the Public are NOT anti-Nett Zero, therefore we will cease to sell advertising if we have to spout much more of this anti-Nett Zero Crap.' - So stop it, it's stupid, and it's not where the Electorate or our Readers are.

Evening.

If there are any lingering supporters of the idea that society is a meritocracy, have a read of this column by one of the most stupid people ever to make it to the top of public life in the UK.

And research from the University of Bath, which found that "the withdrawal of child benefit can make the apprenticeship route a less appealing option to those from low-income households, even if there are suitable opportunities available to them". www.bath.ac.uk/publications...

Sensible policy klaxon 🚨 Currently, if a 16 year old chooses to stay in school/college, their family can keep claiming benefits as before (notably child benefit). If they opt for an apprenticeship, the benefits stop. The system discourages apprenticeships. The DWP just announced a fix 🧵

Polanski very stupid for what he shared, but Reform’s pivot from bringing a woman who called for hotels full of asylum seekers to be burned down as their guest of honour at conference, to saying the Green leader should be jailed - is a difficult circle to square

I do hope the French Navy shooting at him was entirely personal.

20 years in politics, nothing to show for it beyond a perfect record of obsequiousness to whoever was Tory party leader at the time.

Chris Philp is the political equivalent of a stain on your carpet. Don't know how it got there; can't get rid of it; mostly forget about but when you notice it you get irritated all over again.

He just seems to be a bit gullible in his old age ? He was in favour of brexit for a bit, and now he's gone restore, - I wonder if there needs to be a maximum age limit to voting, as well as a minimum ?

"I'll ask Putin"

Jesus Christ.

Yes, and we need that not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because it will split the Right wing Vote even further, so that even Kemi Badenoch - 'The only person on the Planet who thinks she's a moderate', is shown up for being the Corruptly extreme lunatic that she is.

I think Janey put it most succinctly ?

Ooh, that’s cool ! I’ve never seen a ‘G.C.M.G.’ In the wild before ! Otherwise known as ‘God Calls Me God’ !

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All going well in MuskWorld.
