This is probably the last time I’m going to use my substack on the Jeffs and Bills as I have other less ridiculous things to cover, but it is quite fun, even if you just want to hear The Clothes Show theme.

In the UK our most high profile sceptic now that Nigel Lawson is no longer with us is *checks notes* former Clothes show presenter Jeff Banks. His ‘I’m not a scientist but…’ intervention is something to behold

‘Human-induced climate change increased wind speeds and rainfall from Hurricane Melissa, according to a new rapid analysis by World Weather Attribution’ but Bill (Gates) wants us to cool it on climate. Bit expensive. open.substack.com/pub/theweath...

yes, subsidy removal is an imperative. Sorry I thought that was always a given.

This is an unfolding climate tragedy. Offers of help after the storm, ok, but what was needed was global alliance slashing greenhouse gas emissions. Due to lack of action, Jamaica has experienced dangerous sea level rise, making storm surges deadly. This is a climate cost. Right now.

Complaints to Ofcom just seem to disappear. I followed a number in 2023 in the aftermath of GBNews coverage of a supposed anti immigration rally for Farage’s show. Coverage appeared to flout the code several times. no complainants that I spoke to even received a reply.

Beyond crazy. Trump’s administration trolling the White House ‘major events’ timeline. Absolutely batshit.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 12d

I kid you not, this is currently what the White House's "Major Events Timeline" shows for the East Wing expansion.

The new Pentagon Press Corps will include conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' website Infowars.

It comes after the departure of most mainstream journalists over their refusal to sign up to the department's new restrictive policies on reporting.

This made me wonder this morning. It’s ok. The full title is ‘addressing the invisibility of menopausal women. As you were.

Amazing. This morning she was wearing a floral two piece, reading aloud from the times and occasionally proclaiming ‘oooh isn’t it quiet here today?’ Excellent human.

So many questions that reform should be asked tonight. Will they be asked any of them though?

Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 26d

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Weirdly, Kemi would’ve benefited from an English degree.

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch.

I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

Tee hee. Aren’t they usually preoccupied with China building coal-fired power stations.

Well I was interested in the thread which is why I read the replies. I’m trying to assemble my archive as the guardian has disappeared it, so seemed like as good a place to search as any!

Pochinoccio strikes again.

Reform UK’s @SarahForRuncorn has removed a video about Runcorn Boxing Club after lying about her helping getting funding for them.

Statement by the club has shown her to once again have made up things about representing her local area.

Give me a break! I wrote that book in 2011 based on fashion experiences in my late teens early 20s before I knew my arse from my elbow 💚😂 My observer column btw was about ethical living, not fashion per se. I am not a fashion writer.
