A friend has a small library of books whose titles may not mean quite what they did when they were originally published - friends and family have been adding to it over the years.

Katie Lam's plan would mean parents with settled status who have children who are British citizens potentially being deported. Wouldn't it?

Turns out that for the last 24 hours the main link to become a subscriber and read the full story hasn’t actually being working! I tried to fire the finance, product and customer support teams for gross negligence but it turns out they’re all me.

So, er, if anyone wants another go today…

Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia.

It’s obviously starting to hurt.
My first proper date with my wife was on an anti BNP demo in Welling, May 1993.

“If Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors”
We marched passed my house on Wickham Lane, on to Welling, as we had done previously but didn't get any further than the cemetery. A lot of police and what felt like every single police horse in London and beyond. Hell of a day. A lot of windows bricked in around us that evening.

BBC Archive just uploaded The Lonely Shore (1962), a surreal 15-minute short that takes the form of a scientific report from an abandoned and desolate future Britain. Written by Jacquetta Hawkes, an actual archaeologist, and directed by Ken Russell, an actual madman.

Flag around and find out, as the kids might say.

/He was, in fact, mainly fired because of his social media posts, and not the flags.

Good forbid that we expect drivers to have the same concern about driving around people as they do for others headgear.
And it's daylight. Of you can't see kids cycling in daylight then you should not be driving. It's that simple.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.
I work close to the Albert Hall, and it's been great seeing them out and about.
I've tried normal, it's very dull

Claims he's just a regular journalist doing his journalising on behalf of the silent millions... checks out for me..

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"
