I like this guy tremendously and his journalism. I profoundly disagree he’s either a goon or for the “establishment”!

Could not be happier that my new doc Coining It is top of the series charts. Testament to the incredible team at Free Turn and @globalplayer.com Thanks so much to so many of you for listening. If you haven’t yet- is perfect for a weekend binge.

Can’t stop listening! This is superb 👌

Was fun to turn up on the Scroll Deep sofa with the brilliant Benedict Townsend and team to talk about my latest @globalplayer.com podcast series, Coining It, as well as sneaking into Mar a Lago and why Keir Starmer needs to start talking about himself in the third person. Watch/Listen now.

Yessss

Charlie Kirk’s memorial is nothing short of grotesque. It’s appalling to see the brutal murder of an activist turned into a political spectacle. Instead of honoring a life lost, this event is being used to score points and push agendas. This kind of capitulation is disrespectful.

Not a mention of a single policy in his article. Purely about his shitty optics

The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy

The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Sarah Pochin said she will never be silenced. Although she's more than happy for all the journalists they banned from their conference to be silenced.

A new verb just entered the lexicon.

*To Witkoff* - to obsequiously flatter someone in such an overtly embarrassing manner that onlookers squirm with 2nd hand embarrassment.

Example: Did you see that Witkoff guy witkoff the President?

Witkoff: "There's only one thing I wish for: that that Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since that Nobel award was ever talked about."
