Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks... www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...

@lucympowell.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @bengoldsborough.bsky.social A good attack to farage is linking him to the "epstein class" that phrase is making waves and farage has 41 mentions in the files that are released. The media won't do it. Its on us

No Reform MPs turned up to the debate on Russian influence on UK politics yesterday, because we are confident that we already know how it works and don’t need any further advice.

🟨 Print Edition — Drowning in Denial As Nigel Farage’s party scraps climate schemes around the country, Nafeez Ahmed reports on new data that shows flood risk surging across the 10 councils it leads 🔗 https://subscribe.bylinetimes.com/edition/82/drowning-in-denial/

Has anyone asked Farage and his acolytes what he thinks of this? Or does he get a pass on this too?

'The expansion comes as demand for heat pump installations continues to rise, but the industry faces considerable shortages of trained engineers.' Renewables: just quietly getting on & creating jobs.

History repeating itself? UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it. Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy. Never trust Reform UK

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

I give you man of the people, Mr Nigel Farage www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Why was Epstein so involved with Brexit and far-right European politics? What did he have to gain?

Why is is so hard for Nigel Farage and Matt Goodwin to reject the support of the far right extremist criminal, Tommy Robinson?

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

Four in 10 cancers could be prevented - and that includes by stopping or reducing your intake of alcohol. But alcohol companies don’t want you to know that. So they fight to prevent warning labels on their products. Shame on them.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Brussels would be "open‑minded" about discussing closer trade ties with the UK, including the possibility of working together on a customs union, the European Commissioner for finance has told the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Olivia Dean during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech for Best New Artist: “I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I’m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.”

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files: President Joe Biden: 0 President Barack Obama: 0 MN Governor Tim Walz: 0 President Donald Trump: 4,500 Does any Republican not see the problem?

I have no idea who will win the Gorton & Denton by-election but one thing that does seem clear is Labour view Reform’s decision to select Matt Goodwin as an opportunity for them.

10 years ago Nigel Farage tried to stop the EU investigating Russian funding parties just like his. His first comments when Russia invaded Ukraine? He was concerned about sanctions against Oligarchs.

One of my favorite tidbits from this development is that not only did grass start growing in the desert for the first time, but that it grew so tall to the point it started covering the solar panels and becoming a massive issue, and the best solution was to just let sheep eat the grass.

When Fifa handed the hosting duties of its biggest tournament to the USA, Mexico and Canada eight years ago, the idea of a boycott would have been considered ridiculous. But times have changed, says Jim White, who looks at the growing tension polluting the very fabric of the tournament

UK child poverty up 34% in a decade. Families can't afford the cost of food, rent, childcare, heating, essentials. 72% of poor children live in working families. Secure jobs, universal basic income/services, curbs on profiteering, free school meals would help. Must eradicate parental poverty.

Then they came for the reporters....

There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.* Legal experts explain here why this is so ugly: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Curse of Private Equity. PE firms cashing in on Britain’s special needs crisis. Councils paying £90,000 - £104,614 a year for day-pupils with complex needs to Abu Dhabi controlled entities. Council spending £2.2bn a year. No curbs on profiteering. archive.ph/LdXqs

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers. But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.

Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s time we had a government that will stand up to alcohol industry lobbying and put people’s lives before company profits.

Despite being a US citizen, a 5-year-old was deported on 11 January alongside her mother to Honduras, a country she had never known.

It's essential to defeat this nasty piece of work

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Farage welcomed Suella ‘Cruella’ Braverman into Reform UK Party Ltd today.

Poverty is deepening. 🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning. People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people. This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

This is excellent, careful, ruthlessly calm effective reporting from @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social in stark contrast to the earlier both-siding bollox from other BBC colleagues.

Oh

A doctor who witnessed the incident says the victim did not wield a weapon of any kind. But he saw at least 4 ICE officers point guns at him. He was shot 6 or 7 times. On rushing out he saw 3 gunshot wounds to his back, & when turned, one to his upper left chest & one poss to his neck

If Homeland Security says it’s raining and the City leaders say it’s sunny, will the BBC say they are “sharply contested narratives” or will they do their job, look themselves and say who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Reform MP Andrew Rosindell tells the BBC that he "would not object" to scrapping the NHS and replacing it with private insurance

GB News tried to present Trump's comments on UK soldiers as a bit of 'confusion', but now the White House have doubled down www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Man of the people latest. All of Farage’s history shows that far from “taking on the globalists” he’s a grifter who milks unsavoury parts of the global elite for all he can get

Not a statesman. Not strong. Not patriotic. Not principled. Farage is a traitorous little shit who is too compromised and too desperate to please Trump, to serve the best interests of our country. He will only ever betray us because he has to see Brexit through to the bitter, broken end. (iPaper)
