Seems like a crunch moment Britain. We either let this man get away with it again and become a British MAGA. OR WE hold him to account and draw a line in the sand. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Reform UK’s pledge to gut existing climate and green policies would cause 500,000 jobs losses, rising to more than 1.4 million people put out of work by 2040, according to new research." www.edie.net/reforms-anti....

9 bills from our Labour government have become law this week. Has ANY of the media covered the impact ANY will have on our lives? Or have they just reported on gossip, rumour and speculation? Each and everyone has an important impact but the media will not tell you about them! 1/3

One thing Sadiq Khan isn't doing as Mayor is giving £100,000 of public money to someone he's shagging behind his wife's back under the guise of 'IT lessons'.

Just how corrupt does Farage have to be before he's arrested, charged and jailed ... meme via The Daily Scar

Good riddance to hereditary peers. This country remains in thrall to aristocracy and inherited privilege, and it's an absolute cancer. "Birth right" bollocks should not afford anyone a higher status than others in 2026. Ludicrous crap.

I literally can't think of another example of a British politician (albeit not an MP at the time) personally taking a sum of cash this big from a tycoon

If you want to know why so many important public institutions - the BBC, the NHS - are active participants in the war against trans people it's because they are run by people appointed to do exactly that job. Indeed, Kemi Badenoch explicitly told us as much.

It beggars belief that so many voters think Reform is the answer to U.K. problems…..when they can see what damage movements like MAGA in US or Orban in Hungary have caused. And Reform backed Brexit, the biggest single instance of national self-harm.

Does Reform want mass deportations of immigrants and to retrospectively remove refugees’ asylum status? Is Reform led by a man with a track record of racist bullying and slurs against ethnic minorities? Is the party crawling with racist lunatics? Yes. Reform is racist. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trust us, what could possibly go wrong.

🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧 Someone on Threads asked what life was like under a Reform led council. Here’s a few replies. The media is hellbent on ensuring YOU will have this! Low turnout,split vote and here’s your future! GET OUT AND VOTE! #reform #farage

1/ So angry. First, this is what "elections have consequences" really looks like. In addition to big stuff like wars and Liberation Day tariffs, the whole vast US machinery of state is now working everywhere, on everything, to make the world worse in every way. Thanks guys.

I just fact checked this and that's eleven significant attempts

I'm shocked that the man who overruled a planning decision to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for being given £12,000 might have broken the rules about donations. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A classic of the Brexiter vs Europe trade-off. Yes it's possible we might be able to regulate differently, better or more lightly than the EU, but the very fact of diverging from the EU creates a cost. And that cost might more than outweigh the gain you thought you were getting by going it alone.

The rewriting of history carries on. It was the 2016 Brexit referendum that has crowded out more important issues from British political life. The single biggest cost of Brexit is its opportunity cost: all the things that could’ve happened between 2016-24. But sure, let’s talk about “SW1 pathology”.

Funny thing with patriots. Always the first to leave the country they profess to love ... while taking their money with them.

Saturday was the one-year anniversary of Virginia Guiffre’s death. The Epstein survivors aren’t done fighting, but it takes public support to fuel their work. Don’t let the effort to distract work on you. Read & share: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

He’s a scumbag sexual predator & as entertaining as his meltdown is & as self righteous as we feel watching it is I still don’t understand how someone on trial for rape is doing a whirlwind promotional book tour . Presumably, he was paid for this interview.

No. The big divide in Britain today is between the rich and the poor. Reform are on the side of the rich. Specifically, rich white English racists who hate the poor and the vulnerable and don’t think they deserve to have rights or public services or dignity.

Excellent thread on the reality of Reform.

Hi everyone, Our team at @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social are walking 23 miles from Glasgow to Balloch this Sunday to support refugees & asylum seekers. If you want to support our efforts, it would be massively appreciated!!! Please give what you can: shorturl.at/Y8dyT Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Yay for Ange.

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

It’s now overwhelming. Full Membership. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The rich, non-domiciled, fascistic elite want to turn Great Britain into the most unregulated, corrupt country in the world. Brexit was their first step.

This would seem the obvious moment for a European Defence Union of EU countries (and the EU itself), Norway, Ukraine, and the UK. Others if they wanted to join. Given the Ukrainian loan is granted, the Russian spy is voted out, and Trump's threats.

8 bits of excellent news/announcements under our Labour Gov. not much in the media they’re too busy hounding our PM and delivering Farage into No 10. Share far and wide. We have a Government delivering for ordinary people. #DoingTheMediasJob #LaboursAchievements #FixingBritain

Oh 👀

In case you missed it amongst the pearl clutching about Mandelson, there will be no more hereditary peers taking part in the HoL, a huge change but barely mentioned our self obsessed media.

Oh no. We might miss out on worthless wanker tax avoiders.

With all that’s going on in the world right now, I feel it’s really important to draw a distinction between ‘religion’ and ‘faith’. I’m not religious, but I have a humanist worldview which prioritises rational thought, empathy and kindness. I know many people of faith who hold similar values. 1/5

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

Has Richard Tice resigned from his front bench & deputy leader positions in Reform yet? It's a week since controversy over his unpaid tax came to light. It is way more serious than anything related to Angela Rayner. He called for her to go. But he remains in place. Why won't Reform take action?

For the love of all that is good can we please just stop all the bullshit, start the process of rejoining the EU, tell the right wingers & Trump sycophants to go fuck themselves, put the last decade of clusterfucks behind us, & start to improve people’s lives & finance again.

Kemi Badenoch can't believe Keir Starmer would allow anyone with links to the Kremlin anywhere near government

Why are we talking about Starmer @mrjamesob.bsky.social Shall we talk about Tice's tax affair instead? Or Farage's house in Clacton because that went very quiet.

My daughter is flying out of Ho Chi Minh City this evening. Reminds me how the US is entirely capable of losing ill-conceived wars it starts.

“Reform plagued by vetting issues” Candidates found to have “grotesque” views. Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it. It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

TACO Tuesday.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Well let's see how this strategy of telling "white liberals" to "fuck right off" works out in the local elections

This is amazing.

Your regular reminder that Uniserve Ltd got over £1.4 billion in VIP lane COVID contracts without tender. Their profits increased 500% overnight, and they didn't deliver almost £180m of contracted goods. They just happened to share an address with Julia Lopez.

Richard Tice apparently does not think that Richard Tice should resign over the incredible amount of tax found to be owed, despite calling for Angela Raynor to do just that over something objectively much, much smaller if she had "any moral decency"... www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
