TBF, so many of Reform's 'concerned citizens' have such long criminal records, it's not a surprise they think the police discriminate against them.

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

It's OK everyone - no need to feel pure cold rage at this one. www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

Priceless. ‘I hate listening to you exercise your freedom of speech so I’m off.’ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The only two tier policing is Farage getting away with inciting violence

“Alexa what sort of sh*t would exploit the murder of a young man, against the clear wishes of his grieving family, to further their agenda causing racial tension❓” ‘I immediately found this person on the internet who seems to be widely regarded as a callous, ruthless, grifting, opportunist’❗️

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

Who, I wonder, is too racist for the BBC now? This is the language of the NF and the BNP, neither of which were invited on to the sofa to chat politics. Racism spreads when institutions legitimise it

"Hands up if you're in hiding because you dug yourself into a massive hole by lying about a £5 million gift then pretending Russia hacked your phone"

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

This - from Janan Ganesh - captures Brexit perfectly ...

The institutions best able to support young people in the labour market are employers. Schools already foster the resilience, self-reflection and commitment employers seek; their skillset and purpose is not about delivering the finished article direct to the labour market. #r4today

"Now that, between us, we've established that everything I want is sacrosanct, is there anything you want to add? About bins, or something, maybe."

Museum (The Mo); (The Mo) Museum.

I've long wondered about that.

Thanks Mr Blair but a baselessly confident 6,000 word diatribe telling the UK to move right on every issue while embracing Trump and Silicon Valley wasn't even that cute all those times Dominic Cummings wrote it.

Just in case you’re feeling even vaguely optimistic about anything right now, please note that two UK political parties populated & led by profoundly racist people are currently being described as merely ‘right-wing’ in pretty much every corner of the UK media. This is how the worst stuff happens…

I'm not sure you get points for "ideas are important" if you then spend 5,950 words laying out the dumbest, most Spectator-Brain ideas imaginable.

The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government. Nigel Farage wants us to leave it. Please think about that youtu.be/Fhrb5Z7ScME?...

He’s just a ordinary man from an ordinary place - surely Danny Kruger is dying inside having to repeat this offensive tosh - oh. #r4today

Reform demonise those from abroad who chose the UK, want to work and pay their taxes here. Yet they suck up to millionaires who’ve fucked off abroad purely to avoid contributing to our society. It is repulsive, Trumpian and will only make everything worse.

From TheBossRoss on Twitter These morons now control my council too 🤬

We’re just normal men

This has always been about more than who the Labour leader is. It is about getting rid of a government that is not Tory or Reform. And the same would happen if the government were Lib Dem or Green.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Sub-editor having an absolute field day. My old stamping ground (the south side) and there has been genuine concern at the alarming precedent this could have set.

When the real history of the last few years comes to be investigated, I think many will be surprised at how deliberate and strategic those Summer 2024 riots were - and how effective at taking out a very new govt's legs from under it. Planned and simply looking for a trigger event, would be my guess.

One city. 9 million people. All of us Londoners. We will never be divided.

Who looks at these flags on roundabouts and lampposts and feels pride? Far right thugs and racists. And who looks at them with fear and loathing? Everyone else. National flags are being used as Nazi bunting by Reform and the far right. Let’s call this what it is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Will Andy Burnham be joining Farage in a “Get Starmer Out” by-election campaign in Makerfield? We need to know. If so, he should be expelled from the Labour Party. The NEC should demand to know what his campaign messages will be before they endorse him as a candidate.

"I need the most on the nose statement of populism you have"

Me explaining what the £5 million was for.

Farage: epic grifter

This will be Burnham's third attempt at being leader of the Labour Party. Starmer has done all the hard work and delivered a success. The arrogance of Burnham is quite astounding, as is his personal ambition.

So finally we know what “Brexit benefit” actually means.. A £5million payment to Farage. Our country is now deeply divided, poorer, unhappier, less influential, less secure, less welcoming and less democratic… But Farage is a multimillionaire. What a fucking disgrace.

I don't know how many different ways I can say this but I'm not stepping aside for Andy Burnham, and it's both very tedious for me and very demoralising for my staff to keep seeing it reported that I might be about to go when there's never even been so much as a conversation with Andy about doing so

“will you resign?” “no” “go on” “no” “please?” “no, i like being prime minister” “yes but no-one likes you” “i don’t care” “look will you just fuck off, i want a go” “no” “lucy powell says you’re crap” “no-one cares what lucy powell thinks” “is it that time already?”

Pretend you’re a political reporter by standing on the opposite side of the road, and shouting, “Are you going to resign?” when your neighbour goes into their house.

Telling people politely where to stick it does take about that long, in fairness. #StopDoingReformsJobForThem

Ben Habib has made a disgraceful accusation that I was paid £1 million to let Boris Johnson win the 2019 election. It's outrageous to suggest I'd do anything for less than £5 million!

I'm not saying this because I particularly think he should stand for leader but it does feel Quite Interesting that Labour actually has this other mayor who's been successfully running a much bigger city for a longer period of time but for some reason no one's waiting for him to save the party

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

BREAKING: More than 350 Labour MPS are not calling on the Prime Minister to resign as the country finally stabilises after 14yrs of Tory chaos.

To be clear, the Labour left only have themselves to blame here with their sycophancy over Andy Burnham

New Hungarian government has been inaugurated 🎉
