Most anticlimactic final boss ever.

The UK right: ‘Why are we supporting so many foreigners, we should be supporting our own in this country’ Government announces plans to lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty and to help struggling parents afford baby formula The UK right: ‘No we didn’t mean them’

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

Because Britain's right wing press hates young people - and it is the master Wes Streeting serves.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Gullis to Reform UK. I had to calm down Lee Anderson, who was concerned that he may no longer be the thickest twat in the party.

Nearly 10 years after the referendum and 5 since Brexit took effect and now and only now are people who voted for Brexit all starting to realise it was a really stupid path to follow. Everyone is poorer. Question is when are politicians going be honest and start the reversal?

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee. Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.” If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Begs the question as to why Labour policy is geared to pandering to racists and xenophobes?

Radio 6 is a tribute to all that is best at the BBC. It is inform, educate and entertain in musical form: Utter loveliness. And then they periodically allow the news department to mutilate it with these context-free anti-asylum bulletins, reminding you of all that's worst about the BBC.

UK should learn the lessons of Biden's administration: "The government is in danger of getting to the next election saying, “look at all the positive things we have done” but still with low economic growth, low wage growth and failing public services." westcountryvoices.co.uk/will-this-bu...

Foreigners have created fake patriot accounts for years, they know the far right will boost ad revenue by sharing disinfo bait that provokes mindless outrage. The result? Thick emotional UK racists aren’t just conned by foreigners they hate, they’re also making them very rich. Slow fucking clap.

I see Farage now hates emigration as well as immigration. The trouble is, he’s a big part of why people are emigrating. Brexit has made the U.K. a less attractive place for everyone.

Reform’s Chris Mason is certainly more effective than Badenoch and more diligent than the fag ash Führer.

At Birmingham’s Christmas Market, traders are telling the same story to us again and again. Behind the lights and stalls, small businesses are still paying the price of Brexit, with business now harder, slower and more expensive.

Brexit has made the UK economy 6%–8% smaller than it would have been if we had stayed in the EU. That is £165bn-£225bn a year. That is a loss to the government budget of around £65bn to £90bn a year. Imagine what Reeves could do with that kind of money. eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics: "Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?" Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

Budget for #Brexit black hole #RejoinEU

Ed Davey asks - record high tax revenues - why not fix Brexit instead? - Reform - Gill - Starmer must launch investigation into Russian penetration of UK politics; Starmer refuses to answer #PoliticsLive

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

In case you missed it ... Workers with a migration backgound recorded this powerful poem during the pandemic. They feared the UK and its politicians would soon forget how they helped the country survive. And they were right. Fickle politicians who clapped for them then now call them "strangers".

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record. @independentsage.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*

The Covid Inquiry is a damning indictment of Boris Johnson's arrogance, dishonesty and incompetence. Britain is a worse place because of his terrible leadership. #CovidInquiry

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

All those journalists - led by Kuenssberg and Peston - who cheer-led Boris Johnson into Number 10 should be hanging their heads in shame today, and retiring tomorrow.

Latest ONS data show 142 deaths in England involving COVID-19: w/ending 7 Nov 2025. 🤦Up again. 🤷COVID-19 has not disappeared. 🛑It continues to spread, disable, and disrupt lives - while national strategies appear to fail to acknowledge its persistence or the need for stronger infection prevention...

Labour will never win a race to the bottom. Nor should they have ever tried to compete. Xenophobia comes from the darkness of humanity. It poisons a society. To embrace it, whether through belief or political expediency, is to ignore history and where it will inevitably lead.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics. He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

Labour had a chance to reset the immigration debate by rejecting the arguments of the right, and setting out the positive benefits the vast majority of immigrants bring - and have brought - to our country. Instead Starmer chose the 'island of strangers' rhetoric.

Recently there's been a coordinated effort by some to talk down London, because it suits their political agenda. The truth must hurt for them - because London has once again been crowned the greatest city in the world. If, like me, you love London, then my message is this:

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.” If they support them they will too.

Having heard her being interviewed, I genuinely believe she is a xenophobe. What a state our country is in.

Performative xenophobia. Disgusting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Labour supporters should be ashamed of themselves for this. It’s abhorrent.

This is just evil. I don't know who I hate most. The genuine racists and xenophobes who are destroying our country or gutless politicians like this who embrace racism and xenophobia for political expediency? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is an element of the migration/asylum plans I suspect quite a few Labour MPs will find hardest to sign up to: if you come to the UK as a refugee you can never make your life here, but only ever exist in a state of limbo.

Willing to bet that it will not win a single racist’s approval, while sickening decent people.

A reminder that it was *checks notes* two days ago that they were telling us we couldn't possibly change Prime Minister because it would spook the bond markets

The endless nostalgia for a past that never was...

Xenophobes and halfwits like this wrecked our economy but have the personal wealth to escape the consequences of their stupidity.

There is a small subset of pro-Starmer ultras on here who either genuinely don’t understand that budget stories *are directly briefed out by the Treasury, with permission* or pretend not to know that. And so they claim the plans never existed, haven’t changed, etc. It is maddening, and dumb as fuck.

This is just shambolic. People who need to make major financial decisions have been in limbo for months while Labour perform tax Hokey Cokey.

Rejoining Eramsus+ would be a vital step in retaining Britain’s standing in the world and upholding the world renown of our universities. This cultural exchange was essential for cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world. It's time to restore our membership. #EMUK

This. It's odd how Labour wants to appear businesslike, and yet there's not a business anywhere that avoids advertising itself whilst telling customers that their rivals have a good product.

We can power Britain’s future together - rebuilding cooperation with our European neighbours would mean cheaper energy, stronger investment, and greater security for the UK.

Whenever he pops up - I’m instantly reminded of early Peter Mandelson.
