Terry Pratchett "The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head,"

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK? It's, like, incredible." To "I could sit in the middle of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and kill an entire civilisation, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK? It's, like, incredible."
I always try and think how best to visualise the sycophantic incoherent & inconsistent bullshit a cult and its leader will peddle For his cult the speed at which they decide what they grab / flit between reveals of them as much as of the cult leader

The Atlantic spoke with more than 40 sources: Just weeks before the midterms, Kash Patel is desperate to help Trump's Justice Department deliver numerous indictments on Trump's 2020 election lies just to please Trump. In meetings, Patel has expressed frustration that there have been no new findings — instructing staff to "look harder" or "look again." theatlantic.com/politics/202…

NEW: President Trump directly told Russ Vought to find the funds to finance the ads glorifying him. The agency’s general counsel and WH counsel both signed off on the move as legal. The president and WH chief of staff spoke to the DHS secretary. nytimes.com/2026/10/02/us/po…

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation: — posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors

lol at the bullshit of a Truss sycophant now degraded even further to being a Kemi sycophant
Darren Jones, "I worked well with Andrew Griffith on the Science and Technology Select Committee" "Andrew was Economic Secretary to the Treasury when Liz Truss was Prime Minister, what happened then?" "When you ignored the OBR, sacked the Permanent Secretary at the Treasury, when you announced £45 billion of unfunded tax cuts, when you sent the markets spiralling, mortgage rates going through the roof, and completely discredited your party and the economy" "That is the mess that Labour are having to deal with" "That's why this is an honest budget" "Did Labour want that inheritance? Absolutely not" Andrew Griffith, "We shouldn't just look backwards Darren, because you are in government to govern" Darren Jones, "That's why we're making the choices" Andrew Griffith then waffles a bit with incorrect claims Fiona Bruce then jumps in and calls Andrew Griffith out Darren Jones quotes what the OBR said about the Conservatives Andrew Griffith says that's not true Darren Jones, "It is true"

Not providing any actionable intelligence on Muslim terror attacks planned. You will become blind to what the barbarians are going to do to you.

if it was actionable why did it take a member of the public phoning in to result in action?

Question Time was very Question Timeish last night but I wanted to end by giving a shout out to the small business people slogging their guts out. They are the people who give me hope - resilient, industrious, creative. But they feel totally ground down, like the government is always inventing new ways to tax them or make life harder. It shouldn't be this way. We’ve already set out policies to free them up - from cutting business rates to lowering energy costs - and we’ll be saying more this coming week in Birmingham at @conservatives conference.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Inspired by Mrs Thatcher I joined and have remained a member of the Conservative Party since 1985. I wasn’t born a Conservative . I am one by conviction and instinct

I feel so sorry for you Simon. Your party is now further captured by lying shit peddling charlatans. It is such a shame that its descent has been so profound.
