On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

Great piece from Ian. You won’t get attacked by Nazis here, but there’s a good chance you might be trampled to death by a High Horse. Yet for all that it’s still a place and people I call my own.

Yes, it's eager. Yes, it's censorious. But it has the very considerable advantage of not being fascist.

Omg. How can a country be ok with THIS as their leader. He’s now not just incredibly dense but also senile. A society which promotes such stupidity into the highest office has serious, existential problems.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Disgusting. I still can’t believe that people actually voted for this monster.
Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.
This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Yes. It’s a real word. It means “to deceive.”
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "trumpery" as something worthless, trivial, or of little value, essentially trash or rubbish.

the price of populism
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"
