Nigel Farage dancing with Chagos women on a boat moored to the Thames outside Parliament YouTube video by Rich Johnston

In the last three days, the Brexiters have been losing their shit because "MPs were dancing while the war in Iran was going on."

Here's Farage yesterday.

And nothing...

Must read piece.

'The US has started a war without any legal, moral, strategic or political basis whatsoever. And yet instead of raising the alarm about it, the British press’ main question is why Britain is not more involved.' And 'Is Iraq really that long ago?'

The deranged attacks on Miliband have nothing to do with North Sea oil & gas, which peaked in 1999.

It’s about keeping Britain hooked on fossil fuels.

Even with new licences, North Sea output will fall by 95% from 2026 to 2050.

Only renewables can deliver British energy sovereignty.

I understand the pressures on Rutte but he really has turned into a hapless buffoon. Helping to eradicate the rules based order he believes he's upholding.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Quite an opening paragraph.

The future of Oxford Street starts here 🗺️

By the end of summer, the heart of the West End (Orchard St to Great Portland St) becomes a traffic-free zone. No vehicles, no pedicabs, just a world-class destination for Londoners.

Take a look at the first phase of the transformation:

Early light on armillary sphere against a blue sky.

First light o’clock.

NHS privatisation and ending price caps on the price of medicines.

Of the £5m+ donated to Reform in the final three months of 2025, more than half (£3m) was given by crypto investor Christopher Haborne.

The rest appears to have been given by an assortment of metals traders, asset managers, and property developers.

Kemi giving a truly abysmal performance on Today, deeply out of her depth, insisting she's opposed to escalation whilst arguing for escalation, unable to actually articulate what she thinks should happen next. Just reflexively oppositional.

"The oil is beginning to flow"

Luckily the stubborn monoglotism of Brits is fairly impervious to these waves of catastrophe.
😉

Sadly unsurprising: benefit of pulling UKR into EU outweighed by costs of losing leverage for reforms, precedent-setting and the question of how this affects the conduct of the war

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%

Time to revise that estimate upwards. By quite a way…

Household energy bills could climb by £160 a year from this summer after war in Iran pushed UK’s gas market to three-year high.

Cornwall Insight forecast 10% surge after prices on gas market doubled. Tehran has retaliated to strikes by halting oil & gas shipments through Strait of Hormuz.

I fucking hate Gail’s.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA literally the WORST cunt to run a Labour council this century, and that is saying a LOT

Not convinced that this benefits Dubai in any way

Come friendly drones and fall on Tate…

Sure but we can probably expect a special DHS visa lane and waivers for them just as with the Club World Cup last summer.
Fans & other tourists won’t be so lucky.

Farage - the two-faced Russian money taking traitor - totally contradicts himself
