So, now that the former Prince Andrew has been arrested, I assume Trump will need a massive distraction to try and drown out calls for him to release the rest of the Epstein files (coincidentally those files that mention Trump).
And I suppose you’ve double checked that’s not a G from the Google watermark?
That should clear things up.
NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM.
It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line.

Coincidentally I’ve just bought this book. Don’t tell me how it ends. No, really, don’t tell me how this all ends….
Your show today left me exhausted. Fantastic show but I swung between tears and fury multiple times. I just hope our government are using this time to prepare economically and militarily before we respond “elbows up” to the mad orange Nazi. Have a good weekend James, you’ve had quite a week.
Alright, I’m saying this as a Canadian who is absolutely sick to death of watching the world hold its breath every time this blabbering blubbering blithering blustering baffoon opens his grotesque mouth.
You see folks, as far as I can tell, from the outside, this is what it looks like:

I was never keen on Wheeler, not really up to the job, suppose that’s why he ended up selling books in train stations.
I might tune in the wireless for this one.
We don’t have a complete account of Donald Trump and his family’s finances. But a clear picture has emerged: enrichment of the First Family on a scale that is unprecedented in American history.

President Zelensky said Putin publicly lied by claiming Russian forces had already captured Kupiansk — so he went there himself to show the world the truth.
Looking at Russia’s history since 1991, one thing stands out: governments have changed, wealth has risen and fallen,👇
Good.
We cannot allow hostile states to meddle in our democracy.
We need a ban on cryptocurrency donations, and independence restored to the Electoral Commission.
But we also know that Reform has a Russia problem, and it's time we got to the bottom of it.

I’ve just listened to episodes six and seven. The uk defence has been woefully underfunded for decades. In light of current threats from Russia it is essential listening, unsettling and infuriating in equal measure.
Remember, even a stopcock is right twice a day.

I’m now fifty pages in and enjoying it immensely. Taking my time to savour each page and certainly “Memory is a sly magpie”, so many memories from my own earlier years are jostling up into consciousness, events and people I haven’t thought about for a long time. I’m finding it comforting. Thank you.
I’ve had a copy of this on my bookshelf for ages but never got round to reading it. Having read this note I will move it up to my “to be read soon” shelf. Progress has been made.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: As a military officer, I was repeatedly trained on the law concerning illegal orders. Now, veterans citing this law have been targeted by the president with threats of prosecution and death - because they oppose him politically. If the government acts against them, it will further display President Trump's thirst for the one thing our Republic cannot abide: tyranny.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
Post Donald Tusk * @donaldtusk Together with the leaders of Europe, Canada and Japan, we have declared our readiness to work on the 28-point plan despite some reservations. However, before we start our work, it would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan and where was it created. G...
Tusk slips the knife in right at the end.
'Right-wing content - and extreme content - is boosted by the algorithm.'
Tom Cheshire breaks down 'the X effect' - his investigation of how Twitter has changed since Elon Musk's takeover.
news.sky.com/story/the-x-... this is an important piece of journalism. The more his methods and those like him are exposed, the better for us all.
I imagine you could train cats to line your walls. Although it would cost a fortune to feed them and you’d probably lose heat through the cat flap. Maybe wall duvets are a better idea.
Another 55mins of Farage carried live by BBC and Sky, in which he rambled for twice as long as briefed, and yet managed to say little of substance.
Why can broadcasters not simply give us 3mins of the low-lights after the event, as they would do with most other politicians? ~AA
This makes me very happy. Hopefully many more soon. I’m sure you will make good use of every one.
Turned off sky news as you breathlessly stream every Farage speech and utterance. They have FIVE MPs- assume out of balance you will give ten times the airtime to any party with 50 MPs. Of course not, I’m afraid your bias is showing quite clearly.
