Just discovered courtesy of the Daily Telegraph marriage announcements page back in January that one of Rupert Lowe's children is marrying ... an immigrant... this summer. Curiously he's keeping very quiet about it.

“It is understood the National Cyber Security Centre is not aware of a report from Farage related to the alleged hack.” That’ll be because it’s all utter bollox. “Just how stupid would you like us to be, Mr Farage?” “Oh *that* stupid. Let’s see what we can do…” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage makes 'absurd' claim about Russian hackers and £5m gift www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

✉️ "The letter asked Farage to confirm that none of the sum was “derived from transactions with Russian state-linked energy companies”" Farage has a lot to answer for.

As we face an unprecedented May heatwave, please remember that globally we haven't any idea how many are killed by extreme heat. The given estimates may be a small fraction of the real total. A huge and shocking data gap, which illustrates rich world indifference. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Shock news just in: "Public services run better when publicly-owned and money is invested in the services rather than given away to shareholders"

Someone on the BBC did their job today and grilled a Reform MP over the Makerfield candidate's social media posts. The broadcaster will probably be sacked now. www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r...

Overtime rates will disappear and a flat rate 60 hour working week will be normalised.

The JEF is a UK-led grouping comprising Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden. The addition of Finland and Sweden following their NATO accession in 2023 and 2024 respectively has significantly extended the alliance’s Nordic footprint

If you're still trying to figure it out after a decade that might be a clue....

Infamy! Infamy! They’ve all got it in for me…

I'm sure this event will have lots of varied opinions and won't just be a moanfest about how it's all the EU's and Remainers' fault. Morning.

Farage - 'I've been advised not to hold surgeries for security reasons' - He hadn't. Farage - 'There was an arson attack on my home' - It was an attempted burglary Farage - 'My phone was hacked by Russia' - No report made to the relevant authority. Could there be a pattern here...🤔

and he'd never met the Russian Ambassador.....

Would you prefer: 1. Migration down to zero? OR: 2. Functioning public services, a growing economy, pensions being contributed to, taxes being paid, universities staying afloat, care homes staffed and the NHS not collapsing into a smoking crater? One or the other - you can’t have both.

UK universities cut jobs, research and teaching amid squeeze in overseas students ‘Very sharp downturn’ in enrolments risks hitting economic innovation and academic pipeline, lobby group says Way to go

George - not sure your statement about voting to lower immigration for decades is right. By definition, by voting to join the EEC in 1973 by a Tory govt, freedom of movement into the UK was adopted. Many other policies apart from immigration determine voting patterns...

Does Nigel Farage realise he’s about to have a cruel summer? www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

I think there’s some crossed wires here, Tony. I fully support Thames Water coming back into public ownership. Renationalisation relates to the entire water system and that would only be possible over a longer period of time.

there has been increasing evidence of authorities in the north of Ireland aligning themselves with dangerous far-right thugs

Did you know HEATHROW AIRPORT HOLDINGS Ltd donated £36,000.00 to ReformUK? Also LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION donation £12,000.00 No, me neither Information from Donation Watch

JUST DROPPED: Europe thought it won the energy war. Build LNG terminals, swap Russian pipelines for LNG, job done. Then Hormuz closed & prices doubled. We didn't end our dependency. We just changed who we are dependent on. But bright spots on horizon. open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

Reform U.K. have been kept in opposition on the Essex council after a coalition between the Lib Dems, Labour and independents taking control. Reform Cllr and failed businessman @GBNEWS pundit Russell Quirks lies bagged him this surprise @Essex_CC

Economists have already said that reforms economic policies are Truss on steroids and would collapse the country in double quick time. Reform haven't got an effing clue and thickos are saying 'that all looks good'. #reform

By-election noms close Tue 26th May. Greens replacing candidate after "false flag" claims re antisemitism Reform chose 2024 candidate but last chance to decide. May keep him despite gross + sexist online comments & twice banned from Musk's X. Much more scrutiny in byelection may prove a weakness

Worth reading all of the decade-old article linked (& translated) here. Quite shaming for a lot of UK hacks happy to let him bullshit away to his heart’s content…

The lack of attention to these 2026-27 dynamics in parliament, media is a major issue

Corrected version of the net migration projection.

They certainly had his number.

With Farage claiming his phone was 'hacked by Russian spies' I'm reminded of the time he thought he was the victim of an attempted assassination because one of the wheels on his car was a bit wobbly.

By the time he was announced as Reform UK's candidate against Andy Burnham in the #Makerfield by-election, Robert Kenyon's previous Reform UK X account had been mysteriously suspended. We found the archive. 419 tweets. Here's what they reveal. 🧵 1/12 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/20/r...

True Other than Brexit, all current uk problems stem from thatcher!! Privatisation has failed Economy broken Inequity leading to breakdown in society and division Lack of housing Lack of wealth fund because oil was sold off for pittens A truly terrible prime minister Reform would repeat it

Many thanks to Laura Kuenssberg for not asking Robert Jenrick about my £5 million gift or dodgy house purchases and for not interrupting him while he spread our propaganda.

TUC on Reform’s proposal to change working time laws & stop workers having to pay tax on overtime “Farage’s overtime tax proposal is just a cynical gimmick. “Working people don’t need politicians encouraging a culture of ever-longer hours. They need decent pay rises, secure jobs and strong rights"

Glen Owen is the piece of shirt responsible for the Rayner growler "story." Total scum.

This looks like bullshit stenography to me. Glen Owen also ‘reported’ Farage’s lies about French police & a monoglot mechanic ‘telling him’ his car had been ‘tampered with’ in an ‘assassination attempt’ when he was trying to distract attention from something else. Also, Putin *wants* him to be PM!

80% of Reform's funding comes from people who avoid tax by hiding money offshore. Our idea of true patriotism is to hoard money while contributing nothing towards public services. Just ask Richard Tice.

“Asking Burnham to outline his cogent political programme is like asking my cat, who came from a shelter near the Etihad, whether she supports Man City. You’re asking about something she has no interest in and that forms no part of her life.” #LabourLeadership manchestermill.co.uk/stop-looking...

"All we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic whilst ignoring the huge iceberg that's actually causing it to sink." 🚢 British politics is broken. It's been broken for a long time. Just replacing this or that politician won't fix it. It's time for system change.

The London Economic 'Investigation exposes contemptible views of Farage admirers Farage posed next to individuals associated with extreme anti-migrant views and racist social media posts, with one calling for a “public stoneing [sic] of Iranians” which he would attend with a “bag of rocks”.

'Hanlon's resignation means the Reform UK group, which was elected with 28 members in May 2025 is now down to 21, a loss of a quarter of its elected councillors' Another slap in the face for the Cornish patsies who voted for the Refukkers.
