Remember?

Looks like we’ve scone and done it! Celebrating our 13th by-election win of the year in Devon - beating the Tories and Reform yet again.

Triple lock is nuts economics - likewise winter fuel payment (I am a pensioner, still working) Yet many wealthy old folks vote Tory/Farage and alienated young folks turn to ‘eco-populism’ (with even more bonkers economics)

Farage has been a BBCQT project for over ten years. They drink the same political bin juice.

Weakest Question Time in quite a while. #BbcQT

Did Anas Sarwar just reflexively scold Stephen Flynn for criticising lifting of the child benefit cap, when in fact he stated his support for it just moments before? 😆 Now an audience member is having a go at Flynn for criticising it as well!? Really confused! 🥴 #UKPolitics #BbcQT

How long until we can call it the Russia-US-Ukraine war? #RussiaUSUkraineWar #Ukraine

Badenoch: "He's being called a caretaker because he's lost control of the party" First time I've heard that lol. He literally hasn't lost control of the party, they are passing legislation and getting things done lol. In no way a caretaker PM. Delusional. #UKPolitics #PMQs

Usual suspects 🥵. Lab/Lib Dem— just kiss already! #UKPolitics #ECHR

#UKPolitics #EU #Rejoin

I’m sure Free Speech Warrior Nigel Farage will be having a word about this?

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Reform UK stands for Russian-Established Foreign Operation for Restoring Muscovy (UK branch). #UKPolitics #ReformUK

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔 So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them. A masterclass in hypocrisy!

Jesus, just imagine living for however many years then your entire life just being extinguished in a traumatic way like that with absolutely no consequence to the egomaniacal dictator whom put you in that position completely unnecessarily. 🤯🤯🤯 #Ukraine #Russia #Putin

Can you even imagine if Keir Starmer was revealed by 28 former school pupils and also teachers to have said "Hitler was right" and made gas hissing sounds at Jewish pupils??? LOL. Nobody would be doubting the credence or relevance of it would they??? #UKPolitics #Farage #ReformUK

Well obviously. Replacing a leader mid-government will never be better than keeping them either politically, economically or in terms of common sense. To turn the government of restoring stability into a Tory-era chaos would destroy any remaining business confidence in government. #UKPolitics

Zack Polanski saying we need migration because he doesn't want to wipe someone's bum is a shitty thing to say (no pun intended)

WTF. Manages to denigrate care work, migrants AND anybody needing care, as if they weren't dehumanised enough. Mask-off moment. Even Streeting comes off as more compassionate than this. #UKPolitics #Polanski #BBCQT

I don't like Keir Starmer at all, but I've just seen someone who's 50 describe him as the most bigoted PM of their life. Like, really? More bigoted than Thatcher? Than BORIS?!? JFC people need to learn how to hate proportionally

Isn't it about time we just faced up to the idea that UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform is just basically a KGB influence operation to destabilise the UK?

. With headlines like "Right wingers branded danger to children" and "Farage reported to police over election fraud", it is almost as if the right-wing torygraph has been hacked! 😂 #r4today #bbcbreakfast #GMB #politicslive #C4News #toriesgone521 .

Hey, let’s all just forget that FPTP exists, and pick a party to split the vote with 😅 It’s doing my head in. There’s some sort of collective amnesia about what we had to do to get the Tories out. Nothing has changed. Tactical voting, or risk a Reform government. Stop arguing about Green vs YP.

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so. This is very long overdue.

LMAO you can't forgive Nigel Farage ON BEHALF of the (Jewish) people he affected by saying "Hitler was right" and making gas hissing sounds at them. Oh well, in the absence of apology/remorse from Nigel Farage I guess we should forgive him? Tough luck his victims! #UKPolitics #Farage #RoryStewart

We badly need "Report and block" feature #BlueSky

Proud that UK is leading Europe on this! #UKPolitics #Ukraine #UK

Found the "Bernard Manning" clip! #UKPolitics #ReformUK #Farage #BernardManning

Happens every. single. time that he is challenged robustly like other politicians are. It's just a shame that it has taken this long for them to do so! He is not going to survive mainstream politics if this keeps up 😂. The parallels with Corbyn are there. #UKPolitics #ReformUK #Farage

Farage going with the "you were also antisemitic & racist" defence

Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

On the subject of Tice...Can anyone explain? How is an elected MP, who we pay £90,000pa to represent Skegness, allowed to live in Dubai so he can avoid paying taxes on the money we pay him?

Corbyn at the time: continually cast unnecessary doubt on providence of the agent. Suggested samples be sent to Russia for verification 🤯. Farage: "If you poke the Russian bear with a stick he will respond." Appeared 17 times on Russia Today in 2010s 🤯. #UKPolitics #Farage #Putin #Russia

Wait…so it wasn't all part of Rachel Reeves' evil master plan to cause chaos, mislead everybody or test the waters!? I knew there had to be exaggeration going on in the media and there was no reason why she would be especially incompetent. So glad I trusted my instinct. #UKPolitics #Reeves #Labour

Second week of no small boats arrivals - I imagine this will be headline news and covered in depth on every podcast ….Or maybe it doesn’t fit in with the uk press constant Farage -fest ? Just asking the question @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social www.gov.uk/government/p...

Taken at 14:39 in the UK, over an hour from sunset. Sometimes you suddenly become aware of how far north we are! #Photography #RDG #RDGUK

Kemi Badenoch [on Rachel Reeves]: If she were a CEO she would have been fired and possibly prosecuted for fraud. Okay Kemi, since we are talking about hypotheticals: If Harriet Harman had decided to press charges you'd have been prosecuted under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Badenoch gaining strength and 10x cockiness multiplier purely through what she perceives as the failures of Reeves is screaming massive insecurity. She's like a different person. 100x more insufferable. No professionalism whatsoever. She genuinely means badly for Reeves. #UKPolitics #PMQs #Badenoch

I worry about the influence of BBC News article comments on public opinion— they used to be some sort of gauge of public opinion but have been totally unreliable for a while, obviously massively brigaded because the comments are more one-sided and low quality than ever. & no humour. #UKPolitics #Bbc

It was a good budget then. Got it. Thank you for confirming 😄👍. #UKPolitics #Labour #Reeves

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post. "Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

Excruciating. I can't watch! #UKPolitics #GreenParty #Polanski

Still trying to get that BBC Weather "Editor's pick"… #Photography #BBCWeatherWatchers

Labour being viewed as the MOST anti-Russia political party in the UK is brilliant progress from the Corbyn days. #UKPolitics #Labour

What did they do in 14 years again on policing and the justice system? Hahahaha Fuck off BobbyJ. I haven’t enough characters to complete the failings Camoron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak with special mention to Failing Grayling and Hahahaha Just fuck off BobbyJ

Yet my ears were bent all weekend by this non-story. UK Politics: OBR says Reeves did not mislead public over Budget forecasts - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

Actually a fan of this change to the justice system now. Magistrates already handle 90% of criminal cases and only 3% go before a jury. This is essentially a doubling of the sentencing powers for magistrates from 1 year to 2 years. Given the emergency, this seems reasonable. #UKPolitics

Nick Robinson going in two-footed on Dr Tom Dolphin, Chair of the BMA council, about doctor’s pay going up by 8% since 2015. He’s got some brass neck. #r4today

'The doctor shouldn't be acting for the BMA as he's influenced by his previous association with Labour' Says Nick Robinson. Blimey, so when will he be offering his resignation from the BBC with his fervent past associations with the Tory Party; chair/leader of this & that #r4today
