I look forward to the time when the only football chant left is “we don’t like you, we don’t like you, WE DON’T LIKE YOU VERY MUCH!” because everything else is a criminal offence.
Kemi Badenoch having fun in the Commons, but who is the ventriloquist operating Andrew Griffith, sitting next to her?
This freedom of movement stuff is so obviously a dead cat, yet many journalists seem to be falling for it.
A fine Welsh broadcaster. He lived in Pontyclun in his later years. I interviewed him at @penarthltc for a Ch5 show about Princess Anne, he was still very sharp and authoritative at 86. I’m very sorry to hear this news.
RIP Brian Hoey, a much-respected royal commentator and journalist who was the first reporter on the scene when the Aberfan disaster happened

Everyone know that reform attract some highly unsavoury characters. if you secretly recorded lots of relatively junior politicians and activists over a year, it isn’t terribly surprising that you eventually captured a handful of them saying appalling things.
I hope the documentary justifies the infiltration by revealing something more substantial than isolated racist remarks by relatively junior figures, and the (not exactly surprising) revelation that Reform candidates don’t canvass in areas where they don’t think people will vote for them.
If it does fair enough, I’m sure the exercise will have been justified. If not, I think Richard Tice could well have a case.
The unusually long 100 minute time slot for ITV‘s ‘Exposure’ series this Sunday is interesting, particularly since there appears to be no publicity yet being generated by ITV about the programme.
It is further worth noting that the Exposure series is produced by Hardcash, whose conduct has been complained about by Reform’s Richard Tice in his recent video upload.
Presumably the party affiliation stated is based on the respondents’ 2024 vote.
This helps explain the ostensibly crazy stat that LibDem ‘supporters’ think the Tories are more effective than the LDs … because of course many LD 2024 voters don’t actually support the party.
Good day to bury a bad speech.
"Water, the very stuff of life. Uniquely found on this one planet in the whole wide universe."
Um, what? Its literally one of the most common molecules in the universe. Basically every single solid body further from the Sun from Earth has water ice on it. Multiple moons in our solar system alone are likely to have liquid water, in quantities that exceed the amount of water on Earth.
The risk of committing to the "there is no planet B" bit is you end up getting basic astronomy very wrong.
Wait until someone tells him that NHS spending has gone up by 5 times the amount they claimed it would on the side of that bus.
Ex-Labour advisor Matthew Laza implied Brexit voters were stupid because apparently we all believed the "lies lies lies".
@Nanaakua1 calls him out. He then starts rudely shouting back. BIG mistake. Nana politely tries to move the conversation on and he WALKS OUT!
What a child
