What’s precious about this is her pretending she lives in Dubai to report about it rather than because of its lovely zero percent income tax rate.

Did you see this headline? Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you? Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️ Would you like to know the reality behind the headline? Course you would!😜 Let's take a look 🧵 1/25

⚠️ Being faced with the reality of what his followers think seems to have touched a nerve. ❌ Can't face the facts.

This is absolutely brilliant 👏

This is reeeeeally bad from Badenoch We’re on the cusp of potential war and she’s complaining about defence spending (which her Party crated) whilst adopting a position of unimaginable arrogance, incredible rudeness and a completely tone deaf attitude #PMQs #PoliticsLive

“Nobody wants to see an escalation” says Kemi Badenoch, who seems to be constantly agitating for an escalation, putting political points above the lives of British service personnel #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Calum Miller (Lib Dem) to Isabel Oakeshott: “You’re a journalist who makes her money from commenting on what’s happening in the UK despite not living here. You & others have mounted a trenchant attack on what’s happening in the UK…” #PoliticsLive

Adam Fleming: “You’re living in a place where you can face 2 years in prison & a fine of £40k if the authorities don’t like what you post on social media” Isabel Oakeshott: “I have no issue with the authorities here…” AF: “And if Starmer introduced that law?” #PoliticsLive

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

A reminder, one day ahead of a by-election in which the Greens are favourites to defeat Reform, that the Daily Mail owner's wife recently donated £50,000 to Nigel Farage's party

Speaking in Parliament, Nigel Farage, MP for Clacton since July 2024, has mentioned a small island in the Indian Ocean on more occasions than his actual constituency… Mentions of Chagos: 10 Mentions of Clacton: 6 #PMQs

“Why aren’t you at the civil war, Danny?” “They haven’t done one, mum”

"Nobody over the last quarter of a century has done more to defeat the genuine, intolerant, abhorrent, extreme, far-right than me," says Nigel Farage, as he announces plans for the mass deportation of hundreds of thousands of people and a visa ban on anyone coming from six Muslim-majority countries

Editor of The Independent, Geordie Greig after Laura Kuenssberg’s completely unnecessary interview with Boris Johnson: “I think his comments are reckless & irresponsible. It’s typical of the attention-seeking stance he’s become known for” #bbclaurak

Elon Musk is talking about Nigel Farage's Reform Party: he says Reform are trying to eradicate white people in Britain. He is a radicalised + increasingly racist lunatic - obsessed with theories of white racial extinction + promoting the idea of civil war in Britain www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u...

Annunziata Rees-Mogg on the national minimum wage: “Workers should be paid their value. It doesn’t make sense to set it arbitrarily high above the market by the government” Brilliant. The return of slave labour

Speaks volumes that Farage didn’t pick his own elected MPs to join his ‘shadow cabinet’ over two who were elected to a Party he told us couldn’t be trusted and one who isn’t elected at all

“The idea that we should be telling young girls they have a moral obligation to have children earlier is both dystopian and deeply sexist… Suggesting early motherhood is a civic duty is truly troubling” Reminiscent of Nazi Germany. No thanks, Gorton and Denton. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tax-exile, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe: “You can't have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in” “I mean, the UK has been colonised. It’s costing too much money” Don’t make me tap the meme…

The faux outrage exhibited by Tory MPs, like Matt Vickers, regarding the appointment of Mandelson (which at the time, senior Tories were comfortable with) is such an immeasurably pathetic spectacle to witness #newsnight

God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments. Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation. That’s his plan for the rest of us.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance "People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense” Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

Just beyond parody at this point

Ugh Frost. A pompous sub-mediocre dullwit with a giant chip on his shoulder… who had his ridiculous ego soothed by standard-trasher, Johnson… then fucked up the Brexit deal, resigned cos he couldn’t deal with that reality and was made a lord. Ffs. The embodiment of all that’s shit in our politics.

The Sun editor, Victoria Newton calls for a GE if there is a change in the Labour leadership She edits the same paper that never called for a GE when the Tory government they supported, changed leader three times in two months #BBCLauraK

Terrifying that such powerful people have mad and dangerous religious extremist views.

Sun editor, Victoria Newton absolutely bricking it about a potentially more left-wing PM #BBCLauraK

So Starmer steps down… How long is it before the next PM, say, Streeting/Cooper/Rayner/et al. are being hounded by the British media to, also, step down & call a GE? I’ll give it about 3 minutes #BBCLauraK

Tory peer, David Frost opining on the state of British politics after spending years engaged in the reduction in standards via the people and Brexit he fervently cheered on #politicslive

Tory peer, Lord Frost (who negotiated the disaster that Brexit is) wants EU countries to adopt *our* regulations The man is a blithering idiot #politicslive

If the woman who works on Reform’s propaganda channel doesn’t even know what Reform’s policies are, what chance is there for the rest of us #bbclaurak

Next weeks Leaders Interview is with the leader of Plaid Cymru So, once again, Farage avoids scrutiny after chickening out of his turn three weeks ago #bbclaurak

Guaranteed the entirety of GB News staff will be picked as Reform candidates at the next GE The others will be z-list celebrities & former Tory MPs We’ll end up with a government built entirely on vanity

The entire shtick from recently defected Tories, including Zahawi, Jenrick & now Braverman, is that they completely cocked up the first time but *really* feel they’re owed another go The arrogance, narcissism & general disdain for the British electorate is off the scale

Laura Kuenssberg calls the current Burnham/Starmer issue a “car crash” yet never used such a phrase when the Tories went through three different Prime Ministers in less than two months #BBCLauraK

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time. He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here. It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Trump in Davos, Switzerland: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German". German is the main language of Switzerland.

Right, so Badenoch wants Starmer to stand up to Trump whilst simultaneously aping Trump’s divisive (idiotic) rhetoric regarding the Chagos Island deal (the one started by the Tories) #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Zeffman claiming Kemi Badenoch has “bested” Starmer over the last few weeks at #PMQs Tell me you’re a Tory without telling me you’re a Tory #PoliticsLive

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Meant to be Farage’s leaders interview today But he’s gone AWOL - either remembering he’d claimed he was boycotting the BBC (about the fifth time he’s done that only to turn up 2 weeks later) or he’d be forced to side with his own country for once over his hero Trump #BBCLauraK

Richard Tice: “I think what the President is most concerned about is the risk of, particularly China & Russia, gaining an extra presence in & around Greenland” Frightening that a sitting MP doesn’t understand that Greenland is part of Denmark, which is part of NATO #BBCLauraK

Tice on Jenrick: “He brings what people say we haven’t got which is ministerial experience” And ministerial failure #BBCLauraK

How *spectacularly* convenient that Farage is “under the weather” the day after his hero, Trump, threatened to impose further tariffs on the UK #BBCLauraK

“This is a special relationship” says representative of the Trump administration who’s just threatened to impose further tariffs on the UK if we don’t give them what they want It’s an abusive relationship #BBCLauraK

“These people run Britain as though they hate it” Says Robert Jenrick who’s just spent 5 minutes talking every single aspect of our country down The same Robert Jenrick who played a leading role in a Tory government that spent 14 years systematically ruining it

Glad Jenrick has been booted out in disgrace, rather than being able to saunter over to Reform whenever he felt it would benefit him most. But honest to god. These dismal, dismal people. All conniving to screw the county over for their own power and enrichment. Repulsively corrupt and inadequate.

Badenoch’s desire to see the British pub flourish is at odds with her silence when her Party oversaw the closure of over 10,000 of them during the 14 years of their ruinous tenure #PMQs #PoliticsLive

“You know in your heart of hearts that our wonderful country is sick. How many of you at home have thought to yourselves that nothing works today. I know I have” says Nadhim Zahawi who was at the heart of a Tory govt that caused the sickness & crippled the country #PoliticsLive
