I’ve just seen someone argue that Walliams has: “raised millions for charities through his punishing swimming tests so until there is actually some concrete evidence against him im willing to give him a pass”

And I’m just pointing out that extravagant charitable acts are no evidence of innocence.

Tonight's December Comfort Watch: Notting Hill, in which Julia Roberts, the most famous woman in the world at the time, plays Anna Scott, the most famous woman in the world at the time. Yes, it's typecasting, and yes, it absolutely works:

I presume that this is not the culture that is “not equally valid” that Kemi Badenoch was referring to, no?

Here is a gift link to the NYT Trump Epstein article that has explosive new claims.

The piece briefly touches on 14-year-old Jane Doe, who says Epstein brought her to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago. I wrote about that last month (link below.)

What Badenoch so egregiously misses is that these 11 year old boys, whether “native” or migrant, turn into men who are capable of perpetrating violence against women and girls.

This is a desperately poor show from her, not unexpected in that it happened, but worse than usual.

1. This short thread is about what I see as a serious breach of journalistic ethics, in the making of Sofia Pineda Ochoa’s online documentary Greenwashed. She interviewed me for the film, but neither before, during or after was I given any idea I would be its target. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjWU...

On Tuesday I wrote to Sofia, asking her either to attach a note to the film and to the platforms on which it is shown, explaining that I was interviewed under false pretences; or to re-edit the film, removing my contribution. I have not received a reply.

Monday’s got off to a great start with news that Tommy Robinson is suing Nigel Farage 🤣😂👌🏼

This is definitely a case of “may it be brutal, painful, drawn out, eye wateringly expensive and neither man win” 🍿🍿🍺😄
Tommy Robinson takes legal action against Nigel Farage over 'defamatory claims'
A far-right fall-out, you say? Tommy Robinson is pursuing a legal settlement from Nigel Farage following comments made in January.

I'm no lawyer, but it feels like Trump has undermined his own suit today.

Trump's spox: "holding BBC accountable for ... reckless election interference"

The election was over when the show was broadcast. So: false.
