Where are you based? It’s been about 30 degrees down in the South West of England. Bit too hot for me.

I think it's 401 degrees here.

Inside an oven?

Farage being held to account:

Probably Hell.

I'm surprised there are any birds still visiting my garden, given that little Tennyson is single handedly trying to exterminate them. They had two weeks of peace while he was recovering from his operation. Does this look like the face of a serial killer?

Yes, I fear he does look like a serial killer. Those claws! Those mad eyes! He is very beautiful though.

It does indeed @ilovesooty

What interests me is that Marine Le Pen has realised what her father never did, which is that in order to be electable one needs to appeal not just to the extreme, but some of the centre.

Farage with help from 30p Lee seems to be determined to turn off that part of the electorate they would need to persuade to vote for them to be a serious political force, but they probably aren't really interested in that.

He looks like he belongs in Little House on the Prairie

South West too. It’s too hot for me too. Looks like overnight might be as warm as last night 😭 Tomorrow’s 26 looks like a bit of relief though.

More patriotic people having a riot outside Downing Street now.

Fartage and his ilk don't want power - they might actually have to do something.

But they get enough exposure to continue their grift.

Nazi salutes but they get upset at being called right wing

The sweetest charming cat my family ever had taught me all I know about birds, thanks to the offerings brought in. I wonder if Tennyson is a descendant of said cat or her siblings.

Interestingly most of the Tory party don’t seem to have realised this yet. I’m certain the members don’t so I wouldn’t count on them managing to make themselves electable by 2029.

Hartlepool too by the looks of it.

Oh no.

Wtf is going on, it's crazy.

Had to laugh at this, there is very little to laugh at with thugs running amok on our streets 🙁

That is brilliant. Thanks for the laugh @evenstar

There is a 25 year old boxer, representing the refugee team, who has lived in Bolton since she was 10.
How stupid does the UK look, not having given her citizenship yet?

Bloody hell that riot thread is going downhill fast. Apologies if this is a post about another thread (you can just delete this post HQ)
<waves to lurkers>

Sorry your man is out of the tennis @RafaistheKingofClay

Does this open the door for Andy Murray I wonder?

I adore Murray so I hope so!
