There was no protective ring around care homes; but there obviously is one around Michelle Mone and Dido Harding

A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied. But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other. One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion. The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon. And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another. The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there. The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other. Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

Publicly owned Royal Mail delivered letters six days a week. After privatisation, bosses tripled their salaries and cut that to three days a week. Yes, it's our old friend 'the superior efficiency of the private sector'.

When the Fairford plot fell apart before it had got going, I honestly thought that was the end of it. The whole thing was so stupid that the internet saw through our lies and we just gave up trying. I mean our story was that “Middle-Eastern-looking boys” circled around a military base on high alert while the MoD ignored calls from the public, then blocked off a road with their vans until a plucky farmer chased them into the woods where they politely waited for 40 minutes for the police to arrive. When social media users took the piss out of our script, the false flag was officially called off. The police released the lads on bail and said they were a bunch of British nationals with no explosives. Obviously, there was no way they would’ve been let out if there was the slightest indication of terrorism. Therefore, we couldn’t possibly change our minds again, or so I thought. It turns out I was wrong. Andy Burnham is now saying there was evidence of Iranian involvement after all—just not enough to detain the lads for the legally allowed 14 days. If you’re confused about how we got to this point, let me explain. My sources tell me that after Trump and Rubio expressed concerns about the lads being released, they got on the phone and said: “Andy, you’re ruining our psy-op. We need to pretend they are terrorists so we can continue using Fairford to escalate against Iran.” I’ve got no idea how we convince anyone now. All I know is that Burnham apologised for fucking things up and politely asked Mossad if he can have its assets back. The whole thing is a huge, uncoordinated mess. To make matters worse, the Israelis are currently dealing with their latest botched false flag, involving a pretend hijacking of an airliner. Poor Netanyahu has an electorate to manipulate and he needs that escalation against Iran before polling day. He angrily told Trump and Burnham to get their story straight if they don’t want to face an “exploding smart phone incident”. Andy gulped and threw his iPhone in the bin. To clarify, the official position is now that we think the lads are Iranian terrorists who tried to blow up a military base with no explosives, and they are free to try it again…. Hold on, I’m getting an update on WhatsApp… We’re now saying it was actually a “dry run”. The reason the lads drove around in circles and made themselves super-conspicuous was “preparation”. They had to get close to the base because it’s not like they could launch drones from tens of miles away. Just know that if they do launch drones, our media helpfully flew over the base and showed the locations of all the stealth bombers. If our latest story was remotely true it would be hugely concerning, but luckily no one’s worried because they all know this is a load of bollocks. I honestly don’t know who we’re tying to kid here.

Dear diary Yesterday was a big day for me as I’ve been advising Manchester City with their finances for a while, and they’ve had the auditors in. I think it’s gone well.

"The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair" It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

The law Andy Burnham wants to change? Drinking at football matches The law he hasn't shown an interest in changing? The one Cooper and Mahmood rolled out and enforce that has seen thousands of non violent protestors being arrested, including the daughter of a Holocaust survivor

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017: "I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

The BBC gave this Monaco based tax exile free airtime to talk about how great the empire was, how immigration is out of control, how rich people are taxed too much, why we need to make cuts and need more fossil fuels. Soft interview, no push back, no alternative voice. He's not a politician, not elected, he represents nothing other than his offshore bank account. I don't care if you like Vigil and Strictly, other channels can produce these. The only thing truly unique about the BBC is its news. And that news operation is a toxic cancer poisoning the national conversation. Get this BBC in the bin, use its its money to create a genuine public service broadcaster that isn't the mouthpiece of the billionaires. #BrokenMedia #BBCBias

The fact politicians like Watson can be so easily bought — their lack of morality — needs to be addressed.
I wrote last year about the ‘Integrity gap’ in UK politics as part of the Robin Cook memorial lecture. “The public see a political class whose proximity to wealth has corroded its independence and whose language of public service has become a hollowed-out ritual.”

The group which led to this closing down of the Portsmouth RNLI needs to be proscribed by the Home Secretary as domestic terrorism. The way she proscribed a group who opposed genocide They have directly put lives at risk @ShabanaMahmood

I grew up with Rock Against Racism. The people who are saying politics and music shouldn't mix are only saying it because they're embarrassed by their politics. I'm proud of mine.

Ed Sheeran needs to learn that if you don’t “pick a side”, you’re picking the side of the oppressor. Every single time. It’s that simple.
