Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Uncle Ebenezer Farage... the ghost of Christmas past. He wants to take away your free NHS healthcare by privatising it, and cutting workers' rights to make his rich pals richer. He's already helped make us poorer through #Brexit #ukpolitics #ReformXmas

It should be the British public that decide the future of the BBC, not presidents or politicians. Agree? Add your name to the #APeoplesBBC campaign. party.coop/campaign/bbc...

With the conviction of Nathan Gill the question is ever more urgent; how deep is Russian interference in our society? How big is the threat? | Martin Roche @cluthaman.bsky.social

It’s really simple… - Cap all political donations - Ban foreign donations - Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties - No titles, honours or peerages for donors - No govt contracts for donors - Publish every donation/lobby meeting …that’ll do it.

Give me two hypothetical politicians. The first speaks the language of humanity but is clueless about the economy. The second speaks the language of cruelty but is a brilliant economist. I’ll take the first every time. Love and compassion is the starting point, not an added bonus.

It's decided. Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all. Energy independence starts now. → link.europa.eu/tykVJf

Nigel Farage denies that he’s going to do a deal with the Tories, but then there’s this: 100% of Reform MPs ARE EX-TORY members; 616 (67%) of Reform’s 924 councillors are EX-TORIES; 21 EX-TORY MPs have defected to Reform. Vote Reform, get Tories! #ReformUK #TurquoiseTiries

The Scotsman today. Whose taking Rubles from the Russians?

Nuclear generation is yesterday’s technology. Takes too long. Costs too much. Leaves too much toxic waste for too long.

Well done the BBC on Prisoner 952 about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and the shocking Fascist behaviour of the Iranian governments and the dreadful actions of Johnson, Truss and Cleverly. This what the BBC is for. The people’s voice not the voice of the rich or powerful.

A one man study in persistence of personality: Farage’s alleged behaviour as an adolescent is entirely consistent with that of a formed Callous and Unemotional personality. Farage stood in front of his infamous poster when he was 52 years old. He wants you to judge - judge him.

Why is Labour’s comms machine so inept? It has just announced a softening of employment rights plan. Given into biz and cheesed off its supporters: the day after a budget that makes most people poorer. A bit if thought required

Reeves says the government is “freezing Russian assets”. But she does not mean Nigel Farage, she says. Courtesy Peter Dukes

“UK trade intensity has stagnated since 2008, and we expect it to fall in the coming years due to the recent resurgence in global protectionism on top of the enduring effects of Brexit" OBR report published with Budget, then taken down. Too embarrassing for Labour’s Brexit red lines?

From Thatcher to Brexit, the Tories’ war on Europe turned a political colossus into a crippled party. Labour risks repeating the same mistake | Martin Roche @cluthaman.bsky.social

When is a traitor not a traitor? (Just asking questions.) youtu.be/CHRkLeVGmV4?...

every time someone goes on the Beeb, no matter what topic they’re there to talk about, they should add, ‘oh, and Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history’

ReFUK traitor Nathan Gill, sentenced to 10.5 years, was due to give a talk on cryptocurrencies at a Kremlin-backed convention in Moscow when he was arrested. Fancy that!🧐 #Russia #NathanGill

‘You, Boy! Go and racially abuse everybody you meet …but not in a hurtful or insulting way!’

“Brexit is costing the UK up to £90bn a year in lost tax revenues, a new analysis shows…The average Briton is also thousands of pounds worse off, leading to calls for ministers to “fix our broken relationship with Europe”. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests. Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Thanks Nigel #FarageRiots Thanks Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson
