History shows that prolonged right wing economics always ends in one way: Abject poverty for the masses. Extreme wealth for the few.

Is it just my timeline, or has all of X finally realised that London is the greatest city in the world and that all the doomers were just victims of propaganda?

For a man who claims he can spot a rapist in a dinghy, 5 miles off the coast of Dover - @Nigel_Farage seems to have missed this one sitting two chairs away from him.
Nigel Farage appeared on Russell Brand’s podcast in July 2024, nine months after police launched an investigation into Brand over sexual assault allegations and ten months after Channel 4’s Dispatches documentary, Russell Brand: In Plain Sight, first aired on 16 September 2023.

Odisha-born restaurateur and chef Dev Biswal has acquired the historic 14th-century Phoenix Tavern in Faversham, Kent, marking a new chapter in his hospitality journey in the UK. Known for The Cook's Tale (formerly The Ambrette) and Marrakesh Café in Canterbury, Biswal will reopen the pub for drinks on November 20, followed by a full kitchen service from December 1. The pub's kitchen, which previously held two AA Rosettes, had closed six months ago, although the bar continued operating with reduced hours.

Cutting benefits for the sick and disabled won't 'get Britain working again'. But they will fund scrapping inheritance tax and allow the 1% to keep dodging tax, and that's the real point.

It's common sense. Brobbey committed the foul in that situation not Colwill, and still tripped himself. It's tiring talking about officiating in the Premier League because nothing changes. VAR officials can't even interpret simple situations with video assistance. It's really bad. They keep costing teams important points.

This rape victim blaming is just despicable Reality: >1500 rapes a day in uk 80% by someone they know 200 of these rapes reported to police Only 6 of them prosecuted Look, if you want to avoid being convicted of rape in 1, 10 or 20 years, just don’t rape anyone #RussellBrand
'There were people who knew stuff and they stayed silent' Former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal told #BBCBreakfast 'we shouldn't be reliant on the victims to keep reporting what happened' after Russell Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmly…

Asked about the “problem of immigration”. Responds with facts, reasoning and common sense. Must be absolutely devastating for the outrage merchants.

80% of #Reform supporters aren’t happy with the #USMidtermElections. Wow. What #Trump has done to #America, they want #Farage to do here. #ICE agents have been involved in 43 public shootings and 11 deaths in 2 years.
56% of Britons say they are pleased or even delighted about the results of the US midterm elections Delighted: 32% Pleased: 24% Don't mind: 16% Disappointed: 4% Dismayed: 2%

One theory is that Liz Truss was brought down by a conspiracy that united Tony Blair, the Deep State, the Bank of England and global Islamo-communism. The other is that she screwed up. The latter seems more intuitively plausible.
