The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election. Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’. It’s Russian.

Bloody hell, even by stupid entitled driver standards this idiot is gold plated. Clearly he's never read the highway code. If there are no times then it s bus lane. It's actually not hard. Why do people out themselves as stupid like this? www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2563185...

Except that’s not true. Gill was the head of Reform UK in Wales only a few years ago - in 2021. Gill was constantly seen by Farage’s side since his first election - as a UKIP MEP - in 2014. Reform must come clean with their Russian connections.

Architect George Clarke calls for boycott of firms criticised by Grenfell inquiry

As Trump and Putin work to crush Ukraine and destabilise Europe and Farage’s ally gets sentenced to 10yrs for taking Russian bribes, it’s a good time to revisit this excellent report on how the British rightwing has betrayed us all. Brexit was their weapon of choice. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

Classic HIGNFY

Farage reminds me of the sort of British journalist satirised by Humbert Wolfe: “You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God!) the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to.”

Turns out the media & most of Parliament is as out of touch with reality as Twitter. Dear England.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want. They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us). Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country). Time we woke up to the betrayal. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-confid...

One of the best, and simultaneously saddest, pictures. The Last Word and a now empty bottle of green Chartreuse. Going to be a while before that gets replaced! #Cocktails #Saturday #Sad #Empty

Richard Tice, March 2025: "I have never met Nathan Gill, and he has never had anything to do with Reform,"

NEW: If you have *any* interest in the Nathan Gill story, you need to look at this. We’ve put all the dates into a timeline & it’s incredibly revealing. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/nathan-gil...

Suspended Reform UK Councillor, Tom Pickup’s WhatsApp group called for "mass Islam genocide" and encouraged others to stockpile weapons to attack "lefties" and "migrants.”

Once Nathan Gill is sentenced, investigate all the MEPs. Nigel Farage Richard Tice Dr David Bull Paul Nuttall Martin Daubney Alex Phillips #ReformRussianBribes

What a beautiful timeline pairing

Compare and contrast the Government language. £3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’. Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’. And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer… I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?” Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth. Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Trump's British Maga allies - and his suit against the BBC. My column. on.ft.com/4i6z6mR

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight www.cityam.com/the-british-...

Remember, always, that the post-Brexit-vote Tory government, and specifically Home Secretary Sajid Javid, deliberately and with malice aforethought reduced to almost zero the timely processing of asylum claims in the UK. They literally created the "overwhelming backlog" that traps people in hotels.

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering. Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dear Mahmood/Labour, Once the strutting fascist, Yaxley Lennon, is taking credit for your policies, you must know you’ve completely lost your way. You need to get your head out of your arse and your account off X. Yours The real silent (fair-minded and ignored) majority of the UK

Lady, this is your 5th driving offence (4th speeding) in 8 years. If losing the privilege of driving would cause you exceptional hardship, then perhaps you should have been less careless with that privilege. www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/kirs...

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

#Saturday #Cocktails An Army & Navy Another firm favourite

Important time. This was a few weeks after the Skripal attack when May called out Putin, and Johnson went scuttling off without his security detail to meet Putin confidante* Alexander Lebedev in Umbria and plotted with Temerko to topple May * by then he was aiding Putin’s puppet regime in Crimea

And btw as I’ve written I’m not necessarily convinced BBC should survive in its current form. But I’m far more sure, partly because I’m an actual patriot, that its demise shouldn’t come at the hands of a foreign head of state.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

I am bewildered that this labour of Sisyphus is being carried out by volunteers, while Southern Water, which has admitted responsibility for the catastrophe, is doing nothing to remediate it.

One bit of the BBC story that needs more scrutiny - and which might be the most important - is, why did Michael Grade look at the 'report' produced by Michael Prescott and demand the BBC act rather than, as an independent regulator would have done, toss it in the bin?

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

I don’t want McSweeney sacked because of this briefing ‘war’. I want him sacked because he’s steered Labour down such an awful, xenophobic path and paved the way for Farage in number 10.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Here's my argument with Sir Bernard Jenkin MP about the report showing how the racist intimidation of Black and Brown NHS workers on home visits has been exacerbated by the far right's wall of flags.

The Telegraph sides with Trump against the BBC and, so, the country. Private Eye sums up its feeble-minded, fawning betrayal beautifully.

“So we asked ourselves: how could we make the common bicycle heavier, more dangerous and, ultimately, reliant on electricity” From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Bollards & one-way systems stop through traffic. Play signs tell drivers kids are in the street. Paving, build-outs & planting slow cars. People add benches, hang out, share drinks. The street becomes an extension of home - a social space, not a shortcut. This is what neighbourhoods should feel like

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.
