I posted this the other day about Jenrick's attack on judges, and feel the need to post it again about Farage's comments on teachers.

This is not the US, and the UK electorate is not X (but that doesn't mean it will find traction within an increasingly radicalised and vocal sect of the public).

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

The Grove and Rufford Hunt aren't even pretending to lay a trail this season. They're blatantly trying to hunt foxes and that means that they lost control of the hounds in this field of cows.

The Grove's new huntsman was convicted of fox hunting last summer but it obviously hasn't put him off.

The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

Reform says one thing and does the opposite - this is not reforming our politics, it’s what we’ve come to expect after 14 years of Tory rule - is there really any difference between Reform and the Tories? I can’t see it.

Reform UK’s Deputy Chair Paul Nuttall, was an MEP alongside Nathan Gill.

He’s been well known for being pro-Putin, including during his UKIP leadership campaign and his strange condemnation of the EU for not recognising Russia’s Annexation of Crimea.

What does he know about Russian Bribes?

A bit like starmer, her speech was mostly about shoring up her own position and getting the threat of Jenrick off her back for a while. The giveaways don't need to be properly funded because they will never have to actually deliver them.
