Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy, Japanese in Japan, Arabs in Arab countries, and Africans in Africa.
Then why is this South African in America?

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book.
Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.

Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills.
If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.

Prime Minister @andyburnham is right.
One estimate is of a long term hit of 4%. Another says it’s already been 6-8%. By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
“There is not a single sign of any overall economic damage done by Brexit” says @Nigel_Farage
Meanwhile back on planet earth by almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
Is anyone seriously buying his bull****?

Obama: "A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid one of Trump's personal lawyers $50 million... and lo and behold, the pardon falls out of the sky... We have never seen a president excel in straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

JD Vance YESTERDAY: "We have underestimated Iran and we spent $30 billion on war."
Obama TODAY: "All this to stop a nuke that didn’t exist and to open a Strait that wasn’t closed."

Simon Heffer’s review of Liz Truss’s new book Bank Job in the Telegraph.
‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy.’

Boom. 💥
EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet. He just seems to have trouble pronouncing it when it's my name.
I don't care how he pronounces my name. I don't even care that he remembers my whole name. Because he can just go on and call me senator after November.

For years Westminster treated Brexit as untouchable.
That is changing.
The Guardian reports that @AndyBurnham now wants an honest discussion about freedom of movement as part of Britain’s future relationship with Europe.
@AngelaRayner says it should not be off the table.
🎉 Government is preparing to set out its long-term options around the 20 November UK-EU summit.
It’s time to get our freedom of movement back! It was stolen from us as it was never actually on 2016 ballot paper.
Nor was leaving the Single Market.
Nor was leaving the customs union.
Nor was the final form of Brexit that Britain ended up with.
Those choices were made afterwards by the Tories with Farage’s help.
If Britain is now considering whether the Brexit red lines still serve our economy, food security, energy security and national resilience, then the democratic answer is simple:
🙋♀️Ask the public what they want now.

Lula didn’t just beat Bolsonaro:
He beat Trump, Netanyahu/Israel, Meta interference, algorithms, the right-wing wave taking Latin America, and the elite billionaire class...
If Brasil just did it, America can too.

We had 5 heatwaves this year, people were asked to save their water use because of drought conditions.
Along comes Braverman, fresh from The Cons into ReFraud, whose household uses more than 18 baths worth of water daily - and then charges the taxpayer.

He's not wrong, you know.
No doubt the Reformorons will have smoke coming out of their ears at the very suggestion. Fuck 'em!

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous and ill thought out. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again
Weird coincidence that I mention @wallaceme. Looks like Lord Ashcroft’s fluffer, doyenne of oligarchs, just happened to retweet a convicted fraudster to attack our journalism. Why? Because we constantly expose his old chums for their Brexit shenanigans bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w…

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist…
All because @andyburnham suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement
…do you perhaps need reminding of this?
