So sad that this grotesque adolescent dipshit has any authority at all. A total abject embarrassing mess of a man.

Trump: "We've gonna shove it up their ass ... They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches" Remember when presidents had dignity? Here's a lowlight supercut from Trump's rally tonight in Ohio:

This Is Not a Review: Magritte in London

I have loved the work of René Magritte ever since I first encountered it as a teenager at the start of the 1970s; indeed, one of the very first books on art that I bought, in 1974, was Suzi Gablik’…

RNLI volunteers involved in Sunday’s rescue have reportedly had their names and home addresses shared online. Nigel Farage shared, then deleted, Ant Middleton’s post calling for the RNLI to be defunded. Middleton, once an RNLI ambassador, is not fit to shine the wellies of today’s RNLI heroes.

Pres Trump offers $5k to every US adult if the Republicans keep the House & Senate. A US federal statute makes it a crime for anyone to make or offer to make an "expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate".

Replying to @RobertJenrick
@RobertJenrick Just said "boo hoo" In response to two women being brutally attacked at the Reform party conference. Utterly shocking. This should where his real resignation is handed in. He is literally giving the green light to violence against women.

If you’re tired of superhero fantasies (and yes, I do include Nolan’s The Odyssey) and often disappointed by what now seems to pass for a substantial art-movie – think Almodóvar’s elegant, intellig…

Another young female protester receiving brutal treatment for heckling at the Reform conference. Look at the guy take a swipe at her with his crutch. Nigel Farage actually encouraged this from the stage, he’s completely unfit for public office.

But is it Homer? Some thoughts on ‘The Odyssey’

There’s been a great deal of discussion about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, so why shouldn’t I join the fray? While I like to keep an open mind before I see a movie, in this case I suspected I’d…

Piers Morgan, "If we discovered last week that Keir Starmer has taken £5,000,000 without declaring it from a crypto billionaire in Thailand, Reform UK would have gone absolutely berserk" @piersmorgan 👏 Robert Jenrick, "We're talking about a gift even before Nigel Farage was a member of parliament" Fiona Bruce, "But you know you have to declare it in the 12 months before you become an MP"
