I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

Two days cricket, humiliation, then 11 day gap before the next game and they *dont* think practice games are needed! They'll play more golf than cricket on this tour. #ashes

Robert Garcia says House Democrats are likely to release more Epstein-related documents later today and adds, "we want to know why Donald Trump spent the entire campaign saying he would release the files and now that he's in the White House, there's a massive coverup going on."

We've turned ourselves into a lower mid table Championship team at best. Matos, McGuiness, Barry, Bindon, Soumare, Ogbene, the AI experiments, probably Chong & Zatterstrom, are all bad recruits. #sufc

Is it possible Reeves will increase income tax and simultaneously combine it with NI, making one tax instead of two?
The semantics of not specifically increasing one or the other (plus it being a sensible move) could save her..?

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

The #LilyAllen album is a masterpiece. More as a story than a piece of music. She's been brutally honest and open, and brutally brutal. Even though he's been trashed it's impossible to have any sympathy for her ex, he deserves it all.

Well done everyone who has pressed the Tories constantly on this - proof that if people just point out that an unpopular and insane policy is unpopular and insane repeatedly and consistently then you can get it changed. A relief to many in sure - now same pressure needed with Reform

Nothing says stability like haemorrhaging people❗️

I tried to keep a tally but it’s a full time job keeping up with number of Reform Councillors either quitting or being fired..

3 recently fired in Kent because they didn’t like being shouted and sworn at by the leader

And another 5 in Cornwall 🙄😂
