Once again left wondering how Sugar managed to become so rich when he doesn't seem to be the sharpest bulb in the picnic basket
As much as I'm enjoying Reform finally being held to account and properly scrutinised, you do wonder why all of this is suddenly coming to light at once? Who has been sitting on the information and to what end?
If she is the best spokesperson that Reform have got, they are struggling - every interview a car crash
Do Ofcom rules mean that GB News now need to give equal prominence to @CountBinface ?
In what reality is Farage not *part* of 'the establishment'? City trader turned career politician, who part-owns a TV channel that he presents on, writes for the telegraph, had a show on LBC, and has mates/donors in every corrupt bit of society
"glitch" is a funny way to say "we haven't managed to find enough people willing to be gouged with ridiculous prices so we are giving them away for free to avoid embarrassing empty stadiums"
FIFA has confirmed a website glitch has left dozens of fans getting free tickets for the World Cup 2026

I know that Irn Bru ad is a bit of an earworm, but this is no way to respond
We're delighted to announce a new five-year partnership with Pepsi Max, officially becoming the soft drinks partner of the Scotland Men’s and Women’s National Teams
@PepsiUK 🙌
America is at least 10 years behind Europe in rolled out tech. Give it another 7 years and they'll have contactless ticketing on public transport
I flew out of Newark Airport this morning and experienced something that is obviously going to become standard everywhere within the next few years.
There was no TSA agent checking IDs. No pulling anything out of my pocket.
I walked up to this new machine, it scanned my face, the gate opened, and I kept walking.
There was no line because the process moved so fast.
It felt like stepping a few years into the future, and it was awesome!
"help. I have deluded myself into thinking I might be chancellor soon and I'm scared"

Farage "I CAN'T BE BOUGHT!"
Also Farage: "I will say IRA slogans on video for £80!"
Believing this nonsense is why Americans are credulously clapping in autocracy

Man of the people, giving voice to the working class 🙄
EXC: Nigel Farage bought a £1.4m house in cash shortly after the £5m gift from Christopher Harborne, @AliFortescue reveals
Reform say the offer and the purchase “process” began before the gift.
Reform spox: “The relevant chronology is straightforward. The offer and purchase process for the property commenced before the gift. Mr Farage had already passed proof of funds and the relevant checks before receiving the gift. The purchase was therefore already proceeding independently of it.”

Genuinely think this will wind voters up!
Wes Streeting has a habit of coming up with contrived 'oh-so-hilarious' lines.
And then repeating them over and over and over again.
As Wes Streeting gears up for his leadership bid, I bring you this extravagant denial from the health secretary from November that he was plotting for the leadership
Asked if he would rule out demanding Starmer's resignation: “Yes, and nor did I shoot JFK. I don’t know where Lord Lucan is, had nothing to do with Shergar, and I do think that the US did manage to do the moon landings. I don’t think they were fake.”
It was from a highly memorable broadcast round on the back of a @patrickkmaguire scoop that Starmer had said privately that he would fight off any leadership challenge. His allies named Streeting as one of the plotters
Streeting delivered the same line about JFK in about half a dozen interviews afterwards
The fact that Millwall votes green has tickled me 😂
I for one am glad that we have the sharpest minds in the kingdom, like Sharron Davies and Alan Sugar, representing us in the House of Lords...
