Let’s not forget it’s also a distraction from the media pressure he’s experienced recently. We’ve not seen sight nor sound of him for weeks and then here he is. Using tragedy and a family’s grief for his own political gain in the hope we’ll all forget about the £5 million donation. Well we haven’t!

Who the f*ck is running Sunderland while the new Reform Council argue about flags?! "Reform UK says Armed Forces Day flag WILL be flown over Sunderland City Hall, while the Pride flag is removed & permanently banned on 1st day of pride!" www.sunderlandecho.com/news/people/... #Reform #SAFC

As gas prices surge and negotiations to end the war collapse, Trump is now claiming "we shouldn't have been in Iran." The main reason we are there is the deadly and reckless decision making of one man: Donald Trump. Reminder that Congress could put an end to this.

Rep. Morelle on Oil Prices: Who listens to this guy? People with serious economic interests think that the price of oil is going down because Trump tweets out that he’s near a framework of a deal, and then two hours later he’s backtracking? This is what he does all the time.

We should never forget the hurt and misery the Trump regime has imposed on the world only to satisfy the need for more power and wealth of one megalomaniac and his entourage. apple.news/AICp7f2aMRmi...

When he was an MEP, Farage excused his absences on basis that it was an illegitimate government and that sovereignty should reside in Westminster. He's now an MP in Westminster And he's been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...

'"As Nigel Farage is a well-known politician with a considerable following and whose public utterances attract a lot of attention, I decided to refer the matter to the Attorney General so that he could consider whether there should be a prosecution for contempt of court"' 5/

Very sad indeed. This should raise the alarm bells for the rest of the world. Who would have thought America, once the land of hope and dreams, could sink so low.

Happy 87th birthday to Sir Ian McKellen, born in Burnley, raised in Wigan and Bolton. First saw him as Richard II, early 1970s.

Reform UK's mass deportation plan might be a costly, unworkable mess, but let's not forget that it's also evil

Reform want to take control of Kirklees Council but then admit they are ignorant of the council constitution and its rules. Utter shambles. www.facebook.com/share/v/1Jgn...

He really is going full Trump.

Great. It’s about time people started voting with their feet against these corrupt organisations and let’s face it FIFA has to be one of the worst.

She was very talented and is sadly missed.

Serious question.. How many “Reform councillors elected in May 2025 local elections were then shed by the party before May 2026, lasting less than a year❓ 73.. yup that’s right Seventy Three - the reason for each is listed in @markpackuk.bsky.social list👇🏼 A business couldn’t survive like that 🤷🏼‍♂️ 1

Burnham has set himself a hard task, but I dont think we really know the dynamics of a by-election serving as a test prime ministerial run from a popular local figure, because it's madness and has never happened.

Poor Chris Mason must have been crying in his tea. Negative press for his mate Nige.

Today, for your amusement, creativity! Hats off, NYC! 🐶🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🛍️

Another one bites the dust. I’ve lost count now. Shocking waste of tax payers money that could be used on essential services.

Enjoying this spat: Burnham/his cronies come across as amazingly entitled, assuming Marie Rimmer will just stand down and let Burnham waltz in. Particularly good to see the robust "I think the very fuck not" response from Rimmer. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Absolutely they should

Five bite the dust already. They can’t even govern themselves. Why does this only come out after the elections?

I hear one of the newly elected Reform councillors has already resigned and gone on holiday. They unseat perfectly good, hard working councillors, then piss all over it. Boils my piss this.

America profiting from the Iran war. Search Midland Texas on Google Earth. Fracking on an enormous scale. No mention of the environmental impact of both the fracking and the consumption of the oil. Drill baby drill. The oil companies,Trump and most Americans don’t care.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

A welcome dose of reality. #VoteLabour www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/whil...

Not only is Reform’s new policy of putting migrant detention centres in any constituency that votes Green a piece of disgusting imported Trumpism, the centres meet the definition of concentration camps.

Reform’s Basildon leader films residents on their doorsteps with hidden camera glasses, was arrested on suspicion of stalking and harassment, posted footage mocking a disabled young man, and has been accused of bullying a Reform colleague

Why let him “brush off” his deeply shameful, anti-Semitic remarks of the past? He’s there in Golders Green like some hideous ambulance-chasing lawyer, hoping to exploit this tragedy for his own ends. You know that. We know that. Can’t anyone just say it?

Absolutely. Blame every ill on everyone apart from the wealthy. Create division and hatred among the masses who will then be too busy blaming each other while the wealthy get even wealthier. Job done. If only they could see through all the bullshit.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Good morning Reece. Here is a timely reminder for all -

9 bills from our Labour government have become law this week. Has ANY of the media covered the impact ANY will have on our lives? Or have they just reported on gossip, rumour and speculation? Each and everyone has an important impact but the media will not tell you about them! 1/3

Now.. very slowly for those at the back… Who wins when states go to war and when politicians promote fossil fuels over renewables and push to scrap Net Zero? Because it isn’t us. Our bills don’t go down. Our planet doesn’t get prioritised. Our futures don’t get safer. (Sky News)

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Hey @pippacrerar.bsky.social Hey @theguardian.com Going to correct the ‘misspeaks’? Guess not.

😷😷😷 Cancer: 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed every 8 seconds I have Stage 4 metastatic bone cancer. I am being treated by the NHS: Free Reform want to make the NHS insurance based. They all have private health insurance NB: you can’t get medical insurance if you have an ongoing critical condition.

😸❤️😸❤️😸❤️😸❤️😸 Did you know this?

Washington Hilton, where Trump will soon be arriving for the White House correspondents’ dinner. End the cover-up.

Nice one

“I’d Rather Fight For Putin”: The Shocking Views of a Reform Councillor in Devon

So if you cannot work due to disability or illness you’re fucked. When has Farage ever done a hard days work in his life.

It was reported today that at 6:50 a.m. ~$1.5 billion in S&P futures were bought before the market open at 9:30 a.m. President Trump made a statement about peace, which is released by Reuters mid-morning, and the market roars. Also, at 8:24 a.m., ~$760 million in oil shorts were taken. (continued)

Wow!

It's grim up north, again. Have a great day to the nice people on here ❤️. And don't vote Reform. Please. (If you want an NHS). #Sunderland #SouthShields #SAFC #NUFC #LocalElection #ReformUK #GreenParty #Labour

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

Weird that the BBC News doesn’t mention the Richard Tice MP, (Deputy Leader of Reform) tax scandal anywhere on its web pages🤔

This is why I don’t watch BBC news anymore.

Absolutely shameful and blatant insider trading while the rest of us suffer the economic impact of the most corrupt US government ever. It has to stop but when?

Brutal 💀
