What a shame that even the Mirror insists on headlining “Farage’s top aide”, where “Zack Polanski tears Reform to shreds” would have been far more accurate.

Keep going Zack, you’ve got them by the short and curlies.

Great to see you on Question Time, sadly predictable they’d insist on stacking the panel with two Tories and a reform bloke for “balance”.

A proper fighter is Zack. Back him and the greens and take the fight for the soul of the country mainstream. Hold reform and the rest of the tories including Labour to account. The very least we should have is a proper opposition. I feel hopeful at least that will be achieved and reform kept out

I simply don’t understand how anyone could vote for him, or how any parliamentary colleagues support him. On top of that, as Malcolm Tucker might say, he looks like he should still have his head down the school toilet.

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

Brilliant as always mate 👏
Though it’s disturbing how excellent parody now seems more reasonable than what a former minister (arch-cunt Jenrick) is willing to say on live TV.

(Black) Sky journalist - ‘do you think it was racist when you said there’s too many Black people in some areas of the U.K.?’

Robert Jenrick - ‘it’s people like you that are the reason there’s terrorism!’.

(Paraphrasing) a completely mental argument that is sadly completely representative of 2025.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

"If something's not working..." my SKETCH of the unassailably, frankly unreasonably confident Kemi Badenoch.

If something’s not working, you should stop it | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine

“If something’s not working, you should stop it.” Say what you like about Kemi Badenoch, no one can match her when it comes to giving a straight-faced delivery of a self-undermining line.

Exactly the thought I have every time I hear anything from Badenoch! I’d pay good money for some kind of coaching that gave me even a fraction of Badenoch’s confidence. How can anyone be simultaneously so self-assured and so consistently, wildly wrong? 🤷‍♂️
