🇺🇸 RFK JR: “WE’RE FIRING THE CORRUPT NUTRITIONAL SCIENTISTS AT THE FDA!”
"We're going to fire them on day one, or if we can't fire them, we can ship them to a new HHS headquarters in Guam.
Every nutritional scientist at the FDA, because all of them are corrupt."

They love tradition unless it impacts them negatively.

🚨@Nigel_Farage claims he was BANNED from laying a wreath on behalf of Reform UK at the Cenotaph today.
Parliamentary rules state you need to have at least 6 MPs in order to lay a wreath but other parties, such as the DUP (5 MPs) were included in the ceremony.
Many see this rule as outdated, particularly as Reform won more votes than the Lib Dem’s and is the 3rd largest party by vote share.

Davidson joined Anderson on his GB News show where they said Glitter was remorseful and should be released. That's not fake, if it was it would be libellous

@mrjamesob The thing is, the word “fascism” has a natural gut reaction of it being a very, very bad thing. We grew up knowing about WW2 and the horrors it brought in the name of fascism. So when the far right get told they are fascist, they recoil, that can’t be them, surely? 1/2

There’s an apocryphal Peter Cook story about his friend Rainbow George who was infamously wrong about everything. As Cook was being loaded into the ambulance for the final time, George told Cook he was going to be just fine, to which Cook responded “Oh, no…”

So, this afternoon I got home to find a lovely letter from @northernassist telling me about how they wanted to prosecute me for using the below ticket to travel on the specified route at a peak time.
I paid £1.90 less than the fare they say I should have paid.

Great to see how popular our upcoming 50th anniversary screening of Penda's Fen already is.
A seminal title in British TV history, and one with the Midlands running through its pagan veins.

If UK news shows are going to give Boris Johnson a platform to spout his absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow those once in power to rewrite history.
