Deeply pathetic that BBC is reporting this as a Reform power struggle rather than explaining that Reform's policies would require deporting people -including pensioners - who have lived and worked here legally for decades. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday weekend, we are still smiling from last week's extraordinary success of our first #garden at #RHSChelsea ❤️🦇

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he isn't actually sorry.

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

By the time he was announced as Reform UK's candidate against Andy Burnham in the #Makerfield by-election, Robert Kenyon's previous Reform UK X account had been mysteriously suspended. We found the archive. 419 tweets. Here's what they reveal. 🧵 1/12 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/20/r...

Asking for help, please. Plz Repost. This enormous beetle, perhaps Lamia textor, was spotted on door of garden shed by s-in-l and I've never seen anything like it. Another suggestion is Morimus asper. Location garden in Raunds, Northants. #beetle #longhorn #enormousbeetle

This is the road to a family's next meal in Gaza. Through destroyed streets & the remains of what were once homes, WCK's distribution vans are moving every single day. Our teams are on the ground, our kitchens are open & we are serving hot meals daily to families who depend on them. #ChefsForGaza

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...

Adam Parsons: "More than 400 people from dozens of countries were arrested by Israeli authorities" Arrested? Kidnapped, you mean. They were on civilian boats in international waters near to an EU state when Israel attacked them, seized them & took them to Israel.

Most of Britain thinks net migration is still rising — when it has actually fallen by more than three-quarters From our new 2026 @britishfuture.bsky.social study of public attitudes to immigration, published online here www.britishfuture.org/britain-thin...

Farage has devastated our country. His Brexit campaign has crippled our growth, our businesses, and our opportunities. His rhetoric on immigration has poisoned our political debate and sowed deep division in our nation. He can never be allowed to enter Number 10.

This should happen. This is what the Hillsborough Law seeks to address. Accountability of those in public office. This would demonstrate Starmer’s Government’s commitment to implement that law. And should send a chill through people who ignore the law.

Met Police will ask the CPS to consider charging up to 57 people & 20 companies over the Grenfell Tower fire Alleged offences include corporate & gross negligence manslaughter, misconduct in public office & fraud 72 people were killed in the disaster

🇨🇩 Aid cuts left the #DRC blind to Ebola. More than 400 cases and 89 deaths have already been confirmed. We are already preparing an emergency response, but urgent funding is needed to save more lives. ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press... @newsfromoxfam.bsky.social

Nigel Farage is a GRIFTER - pass it on.

This story is becoming absolutely devastating for Farage.

It's still a shock every time I look at what used to be one of the standard US environmental data services and see that the live data just isn't being updated any more due to funding cuts. It hurts all of us.

'Reward' for what? For ruining our trade ties? For stripping us of our freedoms? For damaging our economy?

The Conservatives’ Alternative King’s Speech claimed the welfare bill is higher than income tax receipts “for the first time ever”. We’ve heard this a few times recently, but it’s not true. Welfare spending (including pensions) has been higher for years.

Farage on his £5 million “gift” from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne: 14 May 2026: “Frankly, it was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years.” 9 May 2026: “There was nothing political in its nature at all.”

He gets £5mn We get: GDP per capita 6–8% lower Business investment 12–18% lower UK–EU trade volumes 15% lower 100+ financial firms moved staff, assets or legal entities abroad £900 billion in assets shifted to EU hubs Worker shortages Inflation Just ongoing, structural degradation. Thanks, twat.

Concur with @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social on the nonsense about Starmer.

I am asking colleagues not to walk into a trap. A leadership contest now would be a gift to our opponents and do long-term damage to the Labour Party and more importantly, the country. The PM has my support and I've penned the below after watching his speech 👇 substack.com/profile/3292...

Sadiq Khan says the local election results in London are "bitterly disappointing" "Too many of the government’s achievements have been overshadowed by basic mistakes and a failure to boldly assert our progressive values." Says Labour must change course "before it is too late"

A nice little infographic of Labour Achievements.

Nice start to the week, ten announcements under our hard working Labour Gov. new laws taking effect and some exciting plans. Don’t expect to see these in our media though. They are determined to keep these from you. #DoingTheMediasJob #FixingBritain #LabourAchievements

It’s even worse than ‘abhorrent’. It is threatening, bullying and abusive. Racism is not their only evil it would seem. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zia-yu...

I thought this was parody - posted this am on FB. #Farage now threatening people that if they vote in a Green council, they’ll get “illegal immigrant” detention centres on their doorstep. But not in Reform council areas! God help us if this man & his motley crew get anywhere near No 10.

Final reminder to set that alarm and get an early night 🌅 #DawnChorusClub

They deliberately lie because. A: They know they can get away with it. B: They know readers are perfectly happy to be lied to. That's the post Brexit world for you. See also GB News and Talk radio etc

But I hope we can all agree that this new legislation doesn't mean that Ed Miliband hates tumble dryers, nor does it mean that he hates mums!! Making tumble dryers cheaper to run and better for the environment is a good thing for everyone - even Mums!😜 23/

Hooray, it's raining! East Anglia needs it.

The big day is nearly here. Are you joining the #DawnChorusClub?

Labour has achieved more than Reform UK has even proposed.

🦇 May is here! Bats are fully active and feeding. Females start forming maternity colonies and looking for suitable nursery sites, such as buildings or trees. Males roost on their own or in small groups.

Progress! There are now 2 million electric vehicles on the road in the UK, and 25% of all car sales globally are EVs. Of course, we need more public transport & capacity for walking/cycling, but the cars we need will be electric. Vans too... for an overview of the electric vans on offer, see this:

Labour has already delivered more manifesto pledges than Reform UK has total policies www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lab...

“£240 Billion of income that has disappeared” So far… And Farage wants to scrap Labour’s reset, scrap the Brexit deal altogether in fact… and go to a leave-the-ECHR-no-deal Brexit. Has the country completely lost its mind? When will this idiocy stop? Prejudice as policy is ruinous.

We are the 5th richest country in the world. We were the 6th. Then we voted Labour in #bbcqt www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-econ...

They'll have to get them back off Liz first

Don’t let the media win your local election. They’ve distorted the truth and people are angry for no real reason. If you are a Labour voter and you care for your community this year, more than any other maybe, you need to stand in solidarity and send a message. #VoteLabour
