All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

QTing this not to dunk but because I think there's an important point here.

The bond markets did *not* get it wrong in the 2010s. As Martin Wolf put it then, they wanted us to borrow and spend. *Osborne* got it wrong.

So my baseline assumption is they are right now.

I guess the problem is that the bond markets are not infallible and often get things wrong, so its not just a case of getting the economics right, but also communicating that to the bond markets in a way they can understand. Unfortunately, it *does* matter what they think

this should be against the fucking law, but apparently ASA is cool with this

treat it like how we treated cigarette adverts
Did you know that adverts by gambling companies (emblazoned with their names and logos) that are along the lines “gamble responsibly”, “when the fun stops, stop” don’t count as gambling ads for any quotas on them?

Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.

Maybe the House of Lord Mucks should go, and a Senate elected by the people replace it. Might be better than a bunch of birth right nobility.

I wonder if Trump will be told that James Comey can't be retried because of Bondi's incompetence.

Comey was indicted on September 25. 2025. Five days later, the statute of limitations ran out. So Pam Bondi wasting those five days with an illegitimate prosecutor means that Comey can’t be retried.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

🚨🚨 New report!

Brexit has cost our economy 6 to 8% of GDP.

That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue.
In Budget week, I am afraid we have to talk about Brexit.

A new report from economists at the BoE, Kings College and others puts the hit to our economy at 6 to 8% of of UK GDP.

That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue.

That's why we have to go further and faster on the UK/EU reset.
