The Brexit tendency seem to be absolutely losing their minds over the government's refusal to get bullied by America into an illegal war. Quite something from the people who wanted "independence" and to "take back control."

Another important read from #monkdebunks

FAO NIGEL FARAGE! Joseph Conrad Vivien Leigh Gerald Durrell T.S. Eliot Rudyard Kipling Joanna Lumley Freddie Mercury George Orwell Tessa Sanderson J.R.R. Tolkien Mo Salah All unable to vote despite their contribution to our country because they were born outside the UK. 🤔😡

I see Nigel "always cheated never defeated" Farage is now trying to stop non UK citizens from voting. This would mean my Irish wife would have no right to vote despite giving 20 years of hard work and taxes to the UK state. And where does it stop - the unemployed/benefit claimants will be next

The Mail on Sunday peddling Farage’s racist, fascistic, undemocratic agenda is hideous. Howling to disenfranchise voters. And wanting to remove our rights to make sure we can’t object. Ask yourself whether this is an admirable response to losing? Or the ugly tantrum of vengeful, entitled bigots.

Reform UK fact check: how many churches have been turned into mosques? 41 There are 38,500 churches in the UK, compared with about 1,895 mosques.

Lord Falconer sets a powerful tone for today's sitting on the assisted dying Bill. He warns that if members of the House of Lords don't change their approach very soon they risk becoming "an irrelevant talking shop"."

And please, divine spirit, if you're out there, let this be the last time we have to see Matthew Goodwin's mug on our front pages. Thank you.

If you’re a fan on being bloody furious, Labour MP Karl Turner, on #Radio4Today at 7.10, is worth a bloody listen.

Many comments saying “Reform don’t seem like ‘real’ Christians to me!” But really is this what matters? Surely the point is no plural diverse democracy should base national identity on a single unshared religion! Leave the question of who is a “real” Christian to the Christians to fight out.

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

Gorton and Denton this could be you if you choose Matt Goodwin. #voteGreen 💚

Stephen Githens MP: "Nigel Farage told us the UK will not be the last member to leave. No one left, and more members are seeking to join." "Now, are there any colleagues from Reform today? None." "Now, there are some from the Conservatives, and I can never quite tell who's in and who's out."

Nigel Farage has missed every meeting about regenerating Clacton. www.clactonandfrintongazette.co.uk/news/2587982...

Swaggering moron, Tice, confirms again that Reform will scrap Labour’s improvements to workers’ rights. Know your place plebs. Reform is a party for rich, racist white men who want to remove your rights to protect their interests. Don’t be their useful idiot. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

Yippee indeed! Spring is on its way.

First buds of spring! Such an intense green.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.” Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination. www.independent.co.uk/voices/zia-y...

Yusuf: “We will secure our borders, leave the ECHR, and deport those here illegally. My message to the British people is simple: I will secure our borders and make you feel safe.” There is nothing safe about these vicious inadequates turning racism into policy. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron. 10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Happy holidays 😎😎

Farage is in the Maldives. 200 miles away from the Chagos Islands which are not a tourist destination. Hasn't got the paperwork and wasn't on the 'aid boat' he's pointing at which is trying to establish a settlement for four people on the islands. How is this serving Clacton? Who paid?

Farage “wants to distract people into thinking their problems are because of women or equality and diversity policies, or immigrants. Like Trump, it shifts the discourse and that’s v dangerous” Women must turn Farage’s problem with women into a problem for him. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein. 16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

Tropical forests generate vast rainfall through “flying rivers,” meaning farms & cities may depend on ecosystems far away. Even small-scale clearing can reduce precipitation, threatening agriculture, river flows & hydropower. In the Amazon, this rainmaking service is worth tens of billions yearly.

When you see a short clip, it’s always worth asking what was the wider context? What are you being asked to think and feel in that clip? Could there be more to it? The woman in the clip was brilliant Calm, reasoned and no escalation But the men were also pretty calm and no one escalated either!👍🏼 END

Reform UK claims that 350 “illegal boat migrants” live in Gorton and Denton. This is a broad estimate based on council-level data on asylum seekers receiving government support. We’ve looked into how it was reached. fullfact.org/immigration/...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

“Suella Braverman asked for my help to get maternity leave when she was Attorney General. As first pregnant AG she needed new rights. (I helped ofc, she took mat leave and returned to govt office) Depressing she now plans roll-back of rights for aother women”. Harriet Harman

Then immigration, he’s railed against it for years, bad for us apparently, but as we head rapidly towards net zero migration this year - economists warn the economic impact will be ‘another Brexit'. Wow.

And his third trick, a work in progress, is Nexit - Britain’s exit from Net Zero. Farage is a man that has no idea or care for the impact of his populist policies - no price that Britain might pay - is too high for this man, as he seeks power at any cost.

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?" Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️

Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy. A masterclass in quality journalism.

Pneumonia, blindness, hearing loss and brain inflammation are just some of the impacts measles can do and these are heartbreaking accounts shared here. Measles is extremely infectious but also preventable by the full course of the MMR vaccine #MMR #Measles

Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy? Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT? Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.

Our message to young voters is "Vote Reform if you feel overpaid on £10 an hour"
