Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”
Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."
The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Good morning, Glasgow. After a very wet end to Sunday, it looks like Monday might be off to a better start. This was this morning's sunrise reflected (briefly!) in Fleming House on Renfrew Street in Glasgow City Centre.

Another wholehearted unconvincing win. Very puzzling how a seven try win can look poor. Perhaps Leinster are too many good individual performances but not a team performance. #LeinsvsQuins

Those who sneer at Polanski’s acting, populism or economic illiteracy miss the point.
He is a hero for having the guts - as an English politician leading an English party in these darkest of times - to stand up and say ‘no, the way you are all talking about our fellow humans is disgusting’.

This is a superb speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social
It’s why the #BBC make Question Time, in order to hear different voices, and Zack’s is undoubtedly the strongest in the room here.
“You’re a Government of cowards.” Spot on. Labour *never* speaks positively about immigration #bbcqt

"Those creditors have asked the regulator, Ofwat, and the government for Thames to be let off future fines for pollution," if the government allows this it's a betrayal of Thames customers and a betrayal of Thames competitors who will have no incentive to invest in anti-pollution measures.

#Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US.
In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US.
Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez.
Is #Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
