Imagine the untapped potential of the UKs firearms market. Especially if you can multiply the sorts of people you are allowed to shoot.

And doesn't the UK have a long history of top tier gunmaking ? (I write from a city with a gun quarter)

Not meant for domestic consumption.

Appealing to the American right wing - it’s where the cash is to fund social media.
And Musk, Thiel etc.

Out of touch with the majority of UK obviously but the libertarians love it.

But Lowe would sell this country’s soul in the same way Farage would.

Andy Burnham has 322 nominations; 79.9% of the PLP

I was just coming on to say the same Duncin.

Have a listen to the latest Newsagents where Lowe clearly says "one murder" (and this is repeated and reaffirmed by Rogan). Not only that, but when talking about vaccinations he refers to himself as "pure blood" which sent a shiver down my spine.
Absolutely disgusting man.

Wtf what normal person even thinks like that let alone voice those thoughts utterly vile & truly wicked.

The Metropolitan Police have launched a criminal investigation into a £500,000 donation to Reform from the mother of the convicted fraudster and Farage donor, George Cottrell

Dunblane is in Scotland, so of no concern to Lowe

It's catering to an American audience though. I don't know why but it seems a necessary step for British right wingers now to go on American podcasts and talk about how shit the UK is. Always with very obvious inaccuracies/miscarecterisations that any UK interviewer would spot but which Rogan and the little Roganetees nod along to solemnly.

Yes, I caught the “pure blood” reference. Catnip for the conspiracy weirdos.

And actual Nazis.

I am so sick of heatwaves and nazis.
The only joy is Count Binface and Wimbledon.

I read the article about Lowe and Dunblane. Pretty sure he wouldn't have got the numbers wrong if it had been Dragon School pupils who had been gunned down...
The man is an utterly loathsome piece of shit, and the fact that his takeaway from Dunblane is that his father 'had his pistols taken away' just shows what a self centred turd he really is.

I despair.

A ringing endorsement.

Arthur Fery in the semi final as a wild card. Last tennis player to do that was Goran Ivanišević

It was donated under suspicious circumstances, as in a different name. If you are getting large sums into your bank account, even if you are Joe Bloggs, the sender and the recipient have to be very clear and within the law.

I'd love to ask Andy Murray what he thought of Lowes comment, even better if the two are in the same room.

It was utterly despicable.

Only the Times and the Guardian carrying this as a front-page story - mainly due to Lowes antics but also anti-Burnham/anti net zero [Badenoch]/heatwave/football

BBC don't seem to have the story yet at all as far as I can see

Morning. I see Ann Widdecombe has died.

I thought she’d go on for ever. I’ll never forget her disgraceful treatment of pregnant prisoners when she was Home Secretary. She was a nasty piece of work.

SO George Coterills mother, who doesn't appear to be overtly wealthy and wasn't a recurrent political donor, managed to give Tice £1 million AND also the Reform Party £750,000 (split in to two payments in May 2024)

And the Met Police havent been able to uncover where the £1 million given to Tice originated from? (Presumably because all roads lead to crapto).

And George Coterill seems to have amassed a lot of money from doing what?

Its easy to see why Farage figured he needed a distraction.

See Burnham has 322 MPs backing him - and more saying they will when they can get to vote.

This is a bit odd to me as I thought it was signed, sealed, already delivered due to some of what he’s been saying. It’s possibly me not him!

I’ve not been a fan of all this, but I don’t dislike Burnham and will keep an open mind on it - so this is not a criticism as such but just this morning’s ponder!

Perhaps she found Frogface resignation just too much! If that’s too soon - apologies.

Do wonder if he, or chicken shite Tice, will say anything about her.

I think the motions have to be gone through. Burnham’s unbeatable now but there won’t be an announcement until all the votes are in or the deadline is reached, whichever comes first.

Strictly, yes 😜

Ann was very fond of her cats.
