When he was a Tory politician (you remember, just after he was binned as a Labour one) female colleagues were free to express their disgust at his blatant misogyny. “Lee is an odious sexist,” was Anna Soubry’s irrefutable conclusion. I wonder what his current colleagues will have to say…

www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f... Fascinating read. The achievements mainly due to this man, are astonishing. The public, persuaded by a hostile media, turned to Cameron and austerity. Which is arguably one if the main reasons why we had Brexit and the far right.

The Daily Telegraph currently owned by a private equity vehicle RedBird IMI - based in the UAE and led by Italian American Gerry Cardinale and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Patriotic news. For patriotic people. Who don't want to pay taxes.

As the TV Licence is increasing by £5.50 to an eye watering £180, it’s a time to remember where that money goes👇🏼👇🏼 Fun fact - Laura Kuenssberg is paid circa £395,000, so that’s a whopping £665,000 paid to just 2 third rate ex journalists, who are now full time Reform cheerleaders promoting Farage 😡

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...

Yes, it should.

More members of Liz Truss's cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch's shadow cabinet...

Why TF would you ‘give Reform a go’? Yes. They represent change. But not good change. Not the change people want. This lot would torch everything we value and rely upon (NHS, public services, our rights, protections…) in an absolute frenzy of corruption, prejudice and uselessness. FFS. Please don’t.

Stop the stitch-up! The Government wants to push through water legislation, locking in a failed privatised system for decades without giving the public a say. I’ve signed the petition to stop this water stitch-up and demand a public consultation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

Farage has the unbelievable nerve to talk at Davos about Britain’s “moral decline”. This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline. He’s betrayed our country for self-interest, prejudice and greed. Shame on everyone who’s allowed that. #NeverPM www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Trump presenting a twisted, chauvinistic history of WW2 at Davos. Suggesting US fought for Europe and Denmark out of altruism. Conveniently forgets Pearl Harbour and Soviet competition. Suggests that Denmark can’t have Greenland because they surrendered to the Nazis.

🚨By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - lets get this to the 100,000 signatures needed petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

If this greedy and ridiculous man were to become Prime Minister, he'd be responsible for our security, safety, our NHS, our economy, and the welfare of our children. Meanwhile he can't be bothered to do even basic checks on the Cameos that rake in £141,000 for him metro.co.uk/2026/01/15/i...

'So we thought we'd give them a chance to do it again'

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. 🙋We asked its customers what should happen next. 54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector. Read the full results here.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Please remember this in 2026 when Nigel Farage tells you we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."

Left: Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a placard in London Right: Labour's Baron Hain, "This gov is treating Palestine action as equivalent to ISIS or al-Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. I'm deeply ashamed"

Am out and about in 'middle England'. People are not in a permanent frothing rage, in fact bar a few grumbles about late buses they seem quite happy. At some point we might want to wonder whether it isn't just children who should have limits on their screen time.

"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you said 'fuck off back where you came from', I was sick and you said we should replace the NHS with private health insurance..."

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned. Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

If Putin, Trump and Musk are all attacking the EU. Then you just know the EU is something decent people should be fighting for. 🇪🇺

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism? Odd that.

Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

Who Nick Ferrari is calling antisemitic: - Ireland, Spain Who Nick Ferrari is NOT calling antisemitic: - Nigel Farage @lbc.co.uk

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says: "The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order." That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories. How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

This is how the Mail has covered a 70% fall in net migration. The Government should stop kidding itself it will ever get credit for being anti-migration. They could cut numbers to zero and there would still be front pages blasting them for making the UK a socialist wasteland no one wants to come to

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 26,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

23,000. That's how many deaths can be blamed on Boris Johnson's chaotic Covid decisions and delays. Enough is enough, he must be stripped of his annual £115,000 handout. Sign the petition today: 38d.gs/bojo_all_df

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔

Reform press conferences on what it might do were it to win an election four years from now shouldn't be getting more media coverage than concrete policy announcements from Britain's actual government

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Look at this graph, Reform almost all of them went to Private School. If you are Working Class and you vote for Reform, you are a traitor, to yourself. Or as we call them, a bloody fool.

The bot element of Reform’s online army is very active and not very subtle. This toxic environment is designed to shut down other views and disillusion you into giving up. But bots can’t vote ✍️ Ethan Jones

I wonder if Sarah Pochin ever gets as worked up about the overrepresentation of multimillionaire, privately educated elites in her own party…

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Sorry @theipaper.com but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice… Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss. He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.
