"There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."
This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the £10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs 🤷🏻♀️

If you can read this and still think Nigel Farage would make a good Prime Minister then I think there's something seriously wrong with your character.

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I don't think most people realise how completely our military and intelligence services are entwined with the US.
We may well need to become more independent, but it's not something that can happen overnight.

I see a lot of "no more", "isolate the US", "stand with Europe", etc. But what does that look like? Do we recall diplomatic staff and kick theirs out? Stop sharing FiVeEYes intel? NATO expulsion (no mechanism)? UN resolution? Scrap AUKUS? What form does "no more" take? What are the consequences?

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution.
TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."
MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.”

My former MP still trying to put the blame for his own shortcomings on Labour.
“A former Conservative MP who lost his seat at last year’s general election has been accused of still ‘parading around as an MP’ by the leader of the House of Commons.”
Parading around as an MP after he lost his seat
An MP loses his seat, keeps the Parliament sign on his office, and blames Labour tax policy for the sign not having been removed.
