Small changes to ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation Study finds that a week of political content can bring about a shift in views that previously would have taken three years www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

His politics are racist - so yes. Is Farage right to claim that racism allegations are response to a dislike of his politics? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The killer sentence opening for me... "Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A prominent former politician in Nigel Farage's Brexit Party has denied he took payments as part of a pro-Russian influence campaign in the European Parliament.

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 75,000 signatures! 🙏 LET’S KEEP GOING! If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

If Musk put his money into a basic UK savings account paying 4%, this is the interest he would earn: Per year: £14.4 billion Per day: £39.45 million Per hour: £1.64 million Just the interest = 370,000 average UK earners. And he doesn't work interest. And he wants to pay less tax.

Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question. It's a curious paradox. Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.

With the erosion of the right to protest and the end of the right to trial by jury the UK will be perfectly set up for the first term of a reform government.

"Labour are happily - gleefully - building up the infrastructure an authoritarian regime would find useful. It's a good job a right wing extremist party isn't topping the polls and stands no chance of winning the next election."

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Always suspected he was a wrongun How Lord Dannatt used his peerage to open doors for business interests www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trial by Jury has been used in Britain since the 12th Century. It takes one man, who should definitely know better, and one government 900 years later to get rid of it in order to save some money. #criminal

On being questioned about racism in his party, he asked, “what is racism?” As @mrjamesob.bsky.social discovered in 2014 Nigel Farage is so un-racist he doesn't know what racism is. www.youtube.com/live/-pyYoL9...

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

On Bregman, I was there in the audience and I can’t see what the BBC have gained by removing this line except more bad publicity. I will say that no such edits or censorship occurred when I gave the Reith Lectures and free-speech defenders might want think about whether this is the world they want.

Kentish Fran 🇪🇺 Remember that Farage was one of the laziest MEPs. He rarely turned up for a vote. I wonder what was so special about this one?😉

Little reminder of Farage's pro Putin tendencies.... Hopefully some media outlets may take up @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 's suggestions to probe Mr Farage a bit more on this. Is Farage saying he chose to support the wishes of a hostile foreign govt for free? 😲 #ReleaseTheRussiaReport

Reminder that In the 1990s Farage sought the backing of the disgraced former Conservative MP and notorious racist Enoch Powell and twice asked him to stand as a candidate for UKIP. www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

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

Reform showing more of their open, different approach to politics.. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

They say they're defenders of free speech even as they aggressively seek to silence all criticism and legitimate questions

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

If you've a trusted public service broadcaster hang on to it for dear life, ringfence editorial independence, double its budget & increase its social media presence. That we're doing the exact opposite is another example of our endless capacity for self-harm #BBC www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is extremely unfortunate to say the least. Not sure how I would have reacted to having my Reith lectures censored - the world has changed in an ill way in the two years since.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If you were a bully at school chances are you'll be a bully all your life #Яeform Reform’s ‘Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch. We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brexit has cost UK up to £90bn per year in lost tax revenue I don't recall a single interviewer taking Farage to task for this once since Brexit "got done"

Robbie Gibb describes the BBC's Political Editor Chris Mason as the "unsung hero of covering politics" and "absolutely first rate"

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

According to Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's former leader in Wales being convicted of taking money to undermine British national interest in favour of Russia is "ancient history". 😂🤣😂 He was sent down for ten years three days ago. Three. Days. Ago. ~AA www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brexit and support for Farage's narrative have destroyed the Tory Party, reducing it to just 14 seats at the next election! The same will happen to Labour if they continue doing the same. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?

BBC Chair Samir Shah and Robbie Gibb asked to explain why they drew up a plan, as revealed by Byline Times, to win back the "trust" of Reform voters, but haven't made similar plans for voters of any other party. Gibb says Reform voters least likely to trust the BBC bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥 @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Funny how Rigby never grills Farage on his alleged Russian links or that mysterious money for his foreign-national girlfriend’s Clacton house - but she’ll happily blubber on about Starmer gossip. Farage’s muppet, through and through.

Brilliant thecritic.co.uk/auntie-in-th...

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

So Laura Kuenssberg did an hour long programme yesterday and did not mention once, the party leading the polls being implicated in Russian money? Lisa Nandy, you have a golden opportunity to move Robbie Gibb on and really move the BBC back to real impartiality.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

Yet no senior politician dares to raise the topic of #brexit Anyone who works hard for a living will be hit again in this weeks budget paying more tax & stealth tax to fill a black hole that only exists because a group of privileged idiots promised a complete pack of lies to gain support for brexit

Left, Labour's Peter Kyle: we want to grow the economy and make Brexit work Right, "GDP reduced by 8%..Brexit decimated UK economy"

The A55 upgrade received tens of millions from YUP you guessed it EU funding as part of the Trans European Transport Network. So yes, sure, turn up and listen to him witter on ... and vote for him if you want Wales... but he's done NOTHING for you and never ever will. Whereas the EU did loads.

Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight. Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash. Original development also received significant EU funding. Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.
