This guy utterly dismantles the populist politics of Reform and Restore in 90 seconds. It’s actually quite beautiful.
Take decades of deep-rooted problems in Britain and convince people that a relatively tiny proportion of the population is responsible for all of them. Housing, the NHS, crime. Blame illegal migrants for everything.
Suddenly, you don’t need credible solutions to the housing crisis, NHS waiting lists or crime. You just need increasingly extreme policies on immigration.
And by the time people realise you never had meaningful answers to the vast majority of Britain’s problems, you’re already in power, handing out tax cuts to your donors.

The RNLI issue might be the bleakest of UK issues. A LIFEBOAT charity. Doctors don’t check whether they approve of you before treating you. Firefighters don’t ask whether you deserve saving. The minute emergency help becomes conditional, we are in very VERY dark territory.
So, I’m hearing from my daughters that Uggs are still a thing. Even though their sheepskin lining makes them too hot for the summer and the suede outer is f*cked after 5 minutes in winter. Can someone explain?
ChatGPT YouTube thumbnail: ‘My blog draft is done before my commute to the office’. 1. Is the draft any good? 2. What are you doing commuting to an office?
It’s been about 20 years since a upvc merchant darkened my door. But their sales playbook is still the same: use ‘let me call the office’ theatrics to induce you to sign up there and then, whereas anyone sensible gets multiple quotes. How do these businesses still exist?

The difference between the Vietnam War and the Iran War is that Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.
I’m not sure Nige thought this by-election thing through.
"I am damned if I am going to stand on a stage, having won a resounding victory... and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies," Nigel Farage says
With votes still to be counted he claims victory, but says he won't attend the Clacton declaration

Contrary to Nigel Farage's claim in the video, Essex Police did not advise him not to attend the Clacton count. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5y4… irishtimes.com/world/uk/2026/…
I can get with this.
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly, and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed…
All of us
Profits be for people…
