PSA.

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

It's not improbable that Reform fall below 20% in VI by the end of the year. It's reasonably likely that some Lab to LD/Grn voters will give Burnham the benefit of the doubt. What's definite is that both happening will lead to a flurry of terrible "whisper it, the two-party system's back" articles.

Whether you like someone's politics or charachteristics or not...VIOLENCE IS UNNACCEPTABLE...i didn't support Ann, BUT i am sickened at the thought of her being physically attacked...WE SHOULD ALL CONDEMN THIS!!!

Just imagining them at party HQ applying filters to their audience segmentation and watching it shrink exponentially: - must be party member - voted Leave - against Net Zero - wants out of ECHR - is a teacher/builder/similar - not a failed politician - never Lib Dem curious

Nobody deserves to be murdered, neither is violent death funny. Shouldn’t need to be said.

Nigel Farage's first wife is an Irish national. Nigel Farage's current (estranged) wife is a German national. Nigel Farage's current partner is a French national. Nigel Farage's back is home to a knife wielded by Robert Jenrick.

Putin's planned mobilization in September will be a death sentence for men in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Yesterday I toured a secret drone unit that covers a stretch of kill zone between Kharkiv and the Russian border. Russian soldiers don't stand a chance.

🇬🇧 A reminder of how Perfidious Albion operates 🇬🇧 Tory MP steals £200,000 of party funds, but criminal proceedings are dropped upon him agreeing to pay the money back 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 What are the chances that criminal proceeding would have been dropped had he been SNP ? www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is terrible terrain for them. On race, religion, guns etc there is just a very small constituency for this stuff.

If your party has to pull activists off a major mayoral race so your leader can defeat a bin, you’re basically fucked. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Data centres now consume 23% of Ireland's electricity, with demand set to rise even further. That means higher bills, greater pressure on our energy security and growing risks to our climate targets. How many data centres are enough?

Why has it taken so many people so long to realize that the way you deal with Trump is by telling him to go fuck himself. If you flatter or compromise he just demands more and if you push back he walks away. It’s been his whole thing for his entire life

The initial reaction from senior sports federation officials in Europe is that reinstating Russia while the occupation of Ukraine is ongoing will likely lead to a mass European boycott of the LA Olympics, and there will be pressure on Canada to join it.

If Ed Davey gets what he wants - all other candidates boycotting Farage’s stupid by-election, an idea with some merit - this could be Essex’s answer to the 1973 Northern Ireland border poll, which nationalists sat out. He’d still be an MP but his authority and legitimacy would be shot.

I really hope this means @greenparty.org.uk won’t be standing like the other main parties too - Farage v @countbinface.bsky.social is the fight we want to see

Any Clacton residents who want to nominate your friendly neighbourhood intergalactic space warrior, ping me a line!

So he's forcing an unnecessary by-election. Would be hilarious if the white supremacists and conspiracy weirdos at Restore split the vote + he ends up losing.

Really dragging this out. Lots of free advertising for Reform. He's a perfect birthday boy

Want to feel old? This is what the Milky Bar Kid looks like now.

Anyone that wants to take another life for 'fun' is sick and should be recieving medical help.

We get the politics the few pay for. #democracy, it would be a good idea inews.co.uk/news/politic...

It really is amazing how Trump soils everything he touches, like some scrofulous medieval monarch spreading the King's Evil. He turned a pretty likeable US team into global pariahs. By contrast, Balogun handled himself pretty well (and made a point of shaking the referee's hand after his red card)

Given the damage Fox News and others have done to the political landscape of America, it is amazing that media isn't higher on the priority list for successive govts. But it isn't.

Think it shows both how divisive and culturally tasteless and uninventive the US admin is that the 250 celebrations weren't even marginally interesting on a global scale. (Except for laughing at) The big rich country with huge cultural heft should have been able to do more.

Trump calling FIFA to “understand the rules” is the new Trump calling Georgia to “find me 11780 votes”

Whitehall is advising Burnham to spend his early political capital on Brussels, not Washington – a direct rejection of Starmer’s Trump strategy The source added that ministers had “backed the wrong horse” by betting on closer ties with the US, believing it would unlock a major technology deal.

Spectacular! Sepp Blatter wrote on X that "football must never become a playground for political power". Just how bent do you have to be to be criticised for it by *Sepp Blatter"! 😂🤣 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Probably time for your regular reminder - Robert Jenrick is the only Member of Parliament to be an anagram of his constitution 🤣👍

Seeing things I’m reading about in Getting Murdoched happen in real time, the tactics are clear as day. If they weren’t all so nasty, I’d feel secondhand embarrassment for News journos who are simply attack dogs, sent to protect Murdoch’s financial interests and foghorn his prejudices. The shame.

You couldn't write this stuff... This is what foreign interference looks like. "Tens of thousands have joined pro-Restore Britain Facebook groups being run by people who appear to be based in Pakistan and Bangladesh, an investigation has revealed." www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Particularly funny given that the Vatican is one of the few countries that doesn't recognise the Beijing government and has full diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

Quite a few of the decent people still on it have been somewhat affected by still being on it, however. I think most still haven't grasped the level of manufactured activity there, and think it's a unique portal to connect with angry 'normal' people who they don't get to hear from anywhere else.

Holy fuck… she’s done something 😳😳😳🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yesterday, for the first time in 50 years, we reached the point where deaths in this country overtook births. As of last year, we also reduced net migration to its lowest level since the last decade, and it looks to be even lower. We are very rapidly heading to a massive demographic crisis.

Allowing data centres to use carbon offsets, one of the most useless, divisive and generally unhelpful mechanisms for tackling climate change, would be a ridiculous concession to Big Tech power by the EU 🧵🧵 1/4 www.ft.com/content/2135...

PolitLcsUK – We are sure some are aware that Reform councillor Bailey Nash Gardner bought this awful account (violating @X rules in the process) in June 2022 (allegedly), but he's been very secretive about who he bought it from or what it was before. I think I know why 🤪

Matt Goodwin is not just repulsive, he hates Britain. Yassin Mohamud's story is a fantastic example of how great this country is. That you can come here as a refugee, work hard and end up as Lord Mayor. That's inspiring! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Terrifying thing is someone will have been paid to come up with this.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage was paid £270,000 on 29 May to promote a London gold dealer His register of interests shows he did 12 hours of work over three months, meaning £22,500 per hour

Underrated effect of electrification: silence. Traffic is SO MUCH quieter in the Netherlands now that city busses are electric and fat bikes replaced scooters.

A few weeks ago, Restore was celebrating 10 council wins like the dawn of a glorious future. “We are inevitable” spokesman Charlie Downes said as the party surpassed 120,000 members. But a series of strategic blunders and rifts have dented this optimism. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/06/30/u...

If the Faroe Islands can do it so can Scotland. Though no doubt the likes of the (anti-)"Scottish Daily Express" and Yoon trolls will find some way to turn it into "SNP baaaaaad".

Academics all over the country could put their hand up and say they're in the same boat. But when did you last see a big feature on redundancies at a post-92 university?
