Peter Etedgui, a Jewish former classmate of Nigel Farage, says he is angered by Reform leader claiming his recollection of racist bullying is untrue. Two former classmates bsck Etedgui's challenge to Farage's (partial) denial among 20 who recalled Farage's conduct then www.bbc.com/news/article...

Really good move by #itfc giving the traveling fans a free drink voucher for tonight Shame I reckon if I joined the queue now I'd miss kick off

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"

The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/new-asylum...

Journalist - did you racially abuse your fellow classmates at school? Farage - it’s almost 50 years ago so I don’t remember. But I also know that I didn’t do it. And it I did do it I didn’t mean it in a bad way. Something something banter.

No idea about the merits of this but on the face of it this stinks

Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Evening again

Evening

It's actually alright and I may make the night

When almost half of over 150 institutions across an entire economic sector cannot balance their books, it really isn't their individual fault...

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

Everton fans you’re damn right we’ve updated the mugs and posters 🛒 noscoredraws.com/collections/...

This is £600m from the same university sector that is pretty close to collapse in a growing number of major institutions? Many of them universities that are among the biggest employers in the very ‘left behind’ towns and cities that Labour talks so much about…

This is right. I sat through the programme for my posts. Other than the edit-fail, it was a boringly balanced programme.

Prescott says the Panorama programme was aggressively anti-Trump. Neutral and experienced journalists who have seen the programme found it admirably balanced

I went to the same shitty private school as this guy and there was loads of racism, misogyny and homophobia there in the late 90s and early 2000s too. The idea it wasn’t even worse in the 70s is idiotic.

Can't wait for nothing to happen

Sure, he made racist insulting comments in a kind caring way. Any journalist that allows him to get away with this crap is colluding.

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow. Just saw that far-right MP Rupert Lowe welcomed convicted criminal Lucy Connolly, who called for people to set fire to hotels housing immigrants, to Parliament last Mon. Lowe (formerly of Reform UK) praised her "courage" Connolly, of course, pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred last year.

Michael Prescott, who refused to answer all media questions until his DCMS appearance, spent 90 minutes in front of the committee – and wasn't asked *once* about his own report misquoting Donald Trump. What a farce. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-e...

In the next 5 days I will be out in Hull, Oxford and Tottenham I'm cosmopolitan Rounding off the weekend with a Sunday afternoon in appalling Hatfield

Staying in a 46 quid a night hotel in Hull tomorrow It was nice knowing you all

Do a vulgar roast

Evening

An absolute scandal compounded in this case by failure of French government and EU institutions to forcefully react and sanction in turn those who have sanctioned ICC judges and prosecutors. Makes a total mockery of FR/EU's repeated commitment to the rule of law/ICC www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

On Facebook, you could sexually solicit minors 17 times before being kicked out... or you could just post a passage from Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, describing Zuckerberg's obsequious conduct with Xi Jinping, and then get kicked out instantly. www.thedailybeast.com/lawsuit-alle...

Can't believe we finished below Spurs last season

I see the only London derby is on Hope they both lose

Morrissey, somehow managing to be a more ridiculous version of Stewart Lee’s ‘These days if you say you’re English’ parody

"it's time to tax multi-millionaires" #bbclaurak immediately intervenes as that probably includes her

Evening. The Seppo racist is back

He's back

So the line is that he wasn't getting paid for any of this

Good to see #itfc have upped the security to another pointless level

Morning

Morning

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy. We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/victory-we...

Evening

Money.

Extraordinary, when you think about it, that anyone could look at former *head of communications for Theresa May* Robbie Gibb & think ‘now that’s exactly the skillset we need a slice of’. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s former leader in Wales has been jailed for ten-and-a-half years for taking bribes to make pro-Russia statements. What does Nigel Farage think about this?

Shabana Mahmood's proposal to stop being told to "go back home" is to send people "home". Her proposal to stop black and brown people from feeling like they don't belong, is to bake in to the immigration system that they will never belong.

Home Office: How dare people say we are acting like the far-right? Also the Home Office: These far-right graphics look great, let's copy them.
