Goodbye to Dame Esther Rantzen. Thanks for this all time great TV moment…

@Nigel_Farage has deleted this post from Sunday. Don’t suppose he’d like to be reminded of it; oh well.

Swindon got chucked out of the Vertu Trophy for an admin error last season.. plenty of clubs have received points deductions. Bev Priestman, Jasmine Mander and Joseph Lombardi all received a 12 month ban from football for spying.

So much of the right these days just have a massive patriotism problem. This guy: - is a tax exile (left long before this govt) - hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it - laments the hit to manufacturing driven by a Brexit he supported

A 94 year old man from Clacton has called Farage Nigel Mirage “because he’s never here” 😂 Brilliant! Let’s get it trending, wind him up even more. #NigelMirage

Nigel Farage comes out fighting against Count Binface ahead of the Clacton by-election, releasing his smash-hit single, “Ain’t No Binface”, surely destined for No. 1 on the hit parade. {satire}

LOL!!! “Nah bro I have the Trump card, I win.” Trump card always wins!

Half a million flogging gold, a £5M reward for Brexit - and now reports say he’s been funded by a convicted criminal. Farage isn't fighting for Britain - he's fighting for the highest bidder.

Where are we this morning? George Cottrell’s lawyers acknowledged he paid for Nigel Farage’s staff and security. He did so via electronic transfer from bank accounts in his name. On the townhouse, they said their client “does, and did” let Farage stay there. Farage has sought to dismiss both. On failing to declare funding for operation, he said he didn’t need to: he wasn’t a politician at the time. On failing to declare use of house, he said he didn’t need to: Cottrell is a friend, so it is exempt. Sources close to him are also downplaying this dimension generally, saying stays extremely infrequent. The parliamentary rules say any benefit exceeding £300 in value that is not “purely personal” — ie romantic partner or family — and is in any way related to an MP’s “political activities” must be declared. This includes the 12 months before a new MP’s election. Please read our article but also Reform’s statement, in which we are described as having a pro-Labour government bias and seeking to promote our podcast.

I'm confident nobody will share this.

Farage claimed in interviews today that he claimed 0 in expenses. Here are Farage's expenses. H/t @PShootLFWW

If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast. The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it. There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️ It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER! At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations. He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously. Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

🗨 "Running a business as a plumber I was well used to dealing with dirty grubbiness, and there's still plenty of dirty grubbiness behind me." Dodgy donations. Russian bribes. Divisive rhetoric. Reform are mired in 'dirty grubbiness' - Hannah Spencer calls it out 👏👏👏 x.com/bradfordgreens/status/…

Probably the best advert for football & beer in the world: recorded in Dagenham in 2005 this is the Carlsberg Old Lions advert including the talents of Alan Ball, Peter Beardsley, Terry Butcher, Bobby Charlton, Jack Charlton, Stuart Pearce, Peter Reid, Bryan Robson, Peter Shilton, Chris Waddle, and Des Walker, with Sir Bobby Robson as manager.

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals. This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.
