People are asking Donald Trump for his reaction to not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, which is honestly a bit like asking me for my thoughts on missing out on the People magazine Sexiest Man of the Year Award

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

it is truly a mystery why immigrant communities in birmingham choose to live in the same areas instead of all moving in, separately, next to white people in handsworth and smethwick

So to summarise, this is a white politician blaming a black journalist for the racism he is now actively helping to promote, after receiving the full endorsement of his own party leader

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 5d

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Hey chums , don’t forget that tomorrow is a special day for a free speech warrior & surprise masturbator to join hands at Riyadh comedy festival (& Jack Whitehall will be there for some splashback) - & they’ll still be on your TV all the time because these values are more acceptable than socialism

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

Trump has declared he will wage war on Sweden and Norway unless he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by Thursday - “let me make it clear, the Nobels will have blood on their hands if I don’t have a peace prize and I’m not afraid to kill children and short old men to get the prize for best peace”
