Reform UK parliamentary candidate turns out to be creepy misogynist shock: “I wouldn't let him in my house if he was a local plumber in my area, not with what he's been posting online. There is always a pattern.” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Finally some decisive action by the Kentish Refukkers, after presiding over a doubling of potholes in their first year in power. They're now going to sing the National Anthem and say the Lord's Prayer at every council meeting. 🤡🤡🤡

Farage shouldn’t be able to control the media in this way, promoting himself when he wants to and running away when’s he’s in the shit. Stop letting him call the shots. Empty chair him. End the interview if he lies/wont answer. Refuse to be his propagandists. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

Plan A for NASA’s planned moon landing involves using an as yet untested variant of one of these rockets as a lunar lander, *scheduled to be ready to carry humans to the moon in 2028*. Good luck with that. www.theguardian.com/science/vide...

Not sure anything symbolises the mind-crushing tedium of Brexit more than these queues whenever we try to get away in the summer. What an utterly pointless waste of everyone’s time. “Nimble global trading nation” What horseshit. 1970s backwater more like. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Entirely evidence-free wibbke from @rentouljohn.bsky.social/ @the-independent.com here. Has cutting immigration been good for growth or public services? No. Has it reduced racism/community pensions? Also no. Has it helped Labour politically? Also no. Also LOL But.. "it's a good story"

All the tired old Brexit conspirators at the recent 'Brexit Unbound' conference - highlighting their contradictions and lack of any plan - after all these years. Speakers whined about rejoining the single market and included Daniel 'Absolutely no-one is talking of leaving the Single Market' Hannan.

I keep telling y’all, he’s never leaving. The symbolism here is crazy work! A glowing golden shield protecting the White House like a king’s palace. Satellites, missiles, crosses, heavenly light from the sky, all centered around one man who sees himself as the seat of devine power.

🤡Putin to Ukrainian troops: “refuse the criminal orders coming from illegitimate regime, otherwise you become complicit in their crimes”

This is a shocking indictment of the abject failure of UK news shows to get the actual facts about net migration across to the public and call out the bull**** by the likes of Nigel Farage youtu.be/WuSKdLtKHCs?...

Reform councillor assaulted woman while working pub doors www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dedicated the rest of her life to helping children. The rescue of the Basque children is her greatest legacy. Many of their parents died under Franco's bombing. There is now a Plaza de Mrs Leah Manning in Bilbao. You can read about her and other stereotype-smashing women in my book Rebel Women

Leah Manning, former Labour MP and teacher, daughter of a Midlands craftsman and one of his only 6 of 12 children who made it to adulthood, organised the evacuation of the Basque children in the face of enormous opposition by Baldwin's Conservative government. She lost her only baby in WW1 and /2

#otd 1937 the SS Habana docked in Southampton Harbour, crowded with nearly 4000 child refugees from the Spanish Civil War.They had endured bombing and starvation by Franco's fascist forces.They were greeted by crowds waiting to give them homes. But who was the woman who organised their escape? /1

Oh great. Now the Czar of Crazytown will be whining for another taxpayer-funded drone-proof ballroom, this time for his Florida dacha.

If I was the Cuban commander in charge of their alleged drone fleet I’d have the Wikipedia page listing Trump properties bookmarked on my laptop Can’t stop an invasion but they have to know the national freak out that would occur if a Shahed smacked the 18th hole of Trump Doral during cocktail hour

So Reform "fully back" Makfield candidate Robert Kenyon as the "comments were made before he was in politics". Of course - because becoming a politician is basically a factory reset for your entire personality. Incredible excuse. 🤨 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today's Daily Cartoon for @newyorker.com by Kevin Maher and me.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia stands free as a federal judge dismantles the DOJ's retaliatory case against him. While the administration scrambled to indict the Salvadoran immigrant after a high-profile deportation loss, the court calls prosecution a clear abuse of power, forcing a dismissal of charges.

Ahh — GB politics is already warped by misinformation, echo chambers, and algorithm-driven narratives. Politicians and journalists use it to gauge public opinion, but when genuine medical conditions are brushed off as excuses for a “long summer holiday,” that’s a whole different level of toxicity.

I can excuse @iaindale.bsky.social's ignorance here. Just because anyone with a very basic economics education should recognise the lump of labour fallacy doesn't mean he should. But the arrogance combined with the absolutely deliberate refusal to think is quite remarkable.

Congratulations America your government just proved it can strong-arm and squash free speech when it hurts their fee-fees. Where is that right wing righteous rage now.

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.

This is a really important narrative shift.

Reform UK’s Head of Local Government trying to excuse his councillors applying for a job they haven’t bothered to learn how to do. It’s not about snobbery, it’s about lying on your CV. Bit like you did when you told your constituents you were a competent businessman.

"Reform UK says it has no plans to investigate its candidate for the Makerfield by-election." And why is that?🤔 https://www.itv.com/news/2026-05-22/reform-uk-backs-by-election-candidate-accused-of-posting-offensive-comments

That's weird; he told reporters he had nothing to do with the fund. Now he's saying he gave up a lot of money "allowing" it.

“.. by now the President has no options that don’t include risks. Signing a mooted ‘letter of intent’ to continue negotiating for another 30 days .. would merely raise the costs while letting Iran string Mr. Trump along even closer to the election.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

This is just an incredibly verbose paraphrase of "lanyard class", isn't it?

Ever notice how fast government can move when it wants to make things worse for people? Voting rights, abortion rights, pollution permits, war? It moves SO FAST. I dont remember the last time i saw government move fast to make our lives better. It drives me crazy.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The only reason I can see why the bbc are highlighting the cost is because its london only and the tory/reform loving bbc really dont like the green's Didn't see anything on the bbc website talking about the cost of all the reform by-elections

Keep tabs on Reform councillors resigning. Great work @beardedchris.bsky.social refukked.lovable.app?fbclid=Iwb21...

Pay a fortune to attend matches, but instead end up as a foreigner in ICE detention without trial. Or stay at home for nothing and watch them on TV. That's a pretty simple choice. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The health insurance organisations should reimburse 1% of the costs of homeopathy treatment, and tell homeopathy practitioners that's just as good as full payment

The Trump family just oozes love and warmth.

Brilliant research work here.

Roughly 80 Reform UK councillors have now departed - around 70 between the 2025 and 2026 elections, and a further 10 since 7 May this year. By-elections to replace them cost approximately £20,000 each. ➡️ Watch Page 94, the Private Eye podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaQ5...
