Thankfully, this is what most people think of Farage. He doesn't have a future in mainstream politics beyond playing the spoiler. Which tbf, he does very well, but there's a ceiling on the popularity of any party for which he's a leading figure.

Some loon among the Reform candidates has had his social media posts investigated, and has been found to have said that we should have been more neutral with Hitler. And the Reform spokesperson responding has basically agreed with them. Lovely.

Yeah but it's not as simple as that, because there are people currently voting for Reform that wouldn't vote Conservative, and likewise people voting Conservative who wouldn't dream of voting Reform. The right is currently split in this country, which is why we're about to see the Tories destroyed at the next election. Whatever emerges from that wreckage isn't going to command 39% of the vote in a single entity.

New poll, all fieldwork post D-Day shenanigans. No change in Labour lead, but gap between Tories and Reform down by 5.

Posh boy Tim Stanley has turned on them now.

One month you retire, the next month you're picking out adult nappies. Life comes at you fast.

I've got one that's fucked on the left hand side. No impact injury or anything, it's just become dysfunctional from years sitting at a desk. Same story as you, I've got a bunch of exercises, if I stick to them religiously it's mostly OK. I've also got a sit/stand desk at home and if I work for a few days consecutively standing up, it's the closest it ever comes to being back to completely normal. So maybe that might help? But if yours isn't affected by sitting at a desk, maybe not.

I'll do you one better, you can watch it:

"He said, you know, nobody’s ever asked that question."

I'm in the same Myers Briggs pot as the Unabomber. The isolation would be a net positive for me, I wouldn't be remotely concerned about that.

Longer thread on Macron's calculation:

Biiiiig gamble by Macron.

Full version.

Everyone is just done with this lot. PS Where's Rishi?

Reporting today suggesting that the Tories are split between whether bringing in Farage or bringing back Johnson is what's needed to return them to electability.

Aye, the real poster is Rayner with Starmer as the puppet.

Sorted Andrew. Next up the x vs twitter issue, seeing as we've got so many lazy cunts who don't respect their fellow posters enough to fix their links before posting them.

I definitely watch things where people lead an extremely simple, stripped-back life, and wonder whether they haven't got the right idea, aye.

Aye very sad. On the beach so I assume it's been washed ip after he's fallen off a cliff or something. Obsessed with health and the ageing process and then this happens to you.
