So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?

Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

Grok says no-one knows more about 19th Century Edinburgh medicine than Elon Musk, but you can put that to the test next Saturday, as we're heading to London for the St Andrew's Book Festival:

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

This alone would be worth a year's licence fee.
the BBC should apologise with a montage of all the times Trump showed support for 6 Jan and they should get the person who does the end of World Cup montage to do it

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

A rare London outing for myself, even rarer for @ambroseparry.bsky.social, but with @damedenisemina.bsky.social and @allangaw.bsky.social in the mix, the @standrewsbookfest.bsky.social should be a stoater.
