As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

The Torygraph and Times blaming a trans teen for others attempting to murder her. We’re seeing a regression back to the days when trans people were battered for entertainment on the Jerry Springer show but worse.
We’ll see more and more lynchings like this. That’s what this was, a lynch mob

Always my favourite thing when academics do the hard work to prove the thing your gut already knew to be clear and true.

It's the USA v. the EU
This is geopolitics all the way down.
