Happy Wednesday !

🚨🚨🚨Senator Mark Kelly with a special announcement. 1/2

Brilliant stuff …

This is exciting polling - not just for London, though. Right across England and Wales - people are ready to vote Green for the very first time. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Well they’ve already got the absolute worst of them in their ranks.

On the one hand, anything to distract from reports of his increasingly well-documented, lifelong racism. On the other, if he's told some donors this (& the FT will have sourced this properly) you can be sure that he'd've told others the polar opposite if he thought that's what they wanted to hear.

Richard Hermer: “Arguing that 20 people have somehow all misremembered the same things about his nasty behaviour isn’t credible. Throughout his defensive responses to legitimate questions put to him, not once has Farage condemned antisemitism." https://bit.ly/4pHWr0A

The president is a lunatic

Great news, the petition: Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74... Is at the Petition Committee stage, a date is being set.

"The British government is considering a ban on cryptocurrency donations to political parties — in a move that could set off alarm bells in Nigel Farage’s Reform UK." www.politico.eu/article/uk-c...

Looks like everything is a-ok with the UK's police and criminal justice system eh?

Delighted to be supporting the launch of @togetheralliance.bsky.social Together we need to take on the far right. Togetheralliance.org.uk

Oh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It looks like Reform might have peaked...

As net migration figures plummet, is now the time to point out that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimate that the UK loses £7b in tax for every 100K drop in net migration.

A new campaign against the far right - to bring us TOGETHER against division and racism. Could not be more urgently needed 🙏❤️

The happy couple

Oh this is good.

Delighted so many people are enjoying my chat with @nojusticemtg.bsky.social We talk economy, nationalisation and how to stop the right. 👇🏼 youtu.be/13t3hziAd5w?...

Get the Mail on it again.

EXCL: Richard Hermer, UK’s top law officer & one of most senior Jewish govt ministers, urges Nigel Farage to apologise to school contemporaries who claim Reform UK leader racially abused them while at school, saying he had “clearly deeply hurt” many people. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Though it was ever so slight a step change, he did manage to say ‘Brexit’ without the word ‘mishandled’ in front of it.

Amazing.

Has Starmer calculated that now is the right time to start a grown up debate about Brexit ?

It was all a bit weird now that you think about it.

🔥🔥

Significantly hurt our economy.

“we must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal we have has significantly hurt our economy” Keir Starmer

He's making it a talking point. A sensible place to begin.

There’s a video somewhere of Zack Polanski in Clacton pointing out the finer details of Farage’s record around workers rights, the goofballs had no idea.

If you’re furious that Starmer has pointed out the damage Brexit is doing to our economy then I suggest you’ve probably not got this countries best interests at heart.

In case you needed even more motivation to vote in the Midterm elections... #AccountabilityIsComing

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit yorkshirebylines.co.uk/opinion/brex...

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

After a rough few weeks, Reform now find their advantage in the polls slipping!

Brexit postage stamps 😊

I donated. Can you? Every little helps to keep the bad guys at bay. #HopeIsHere ✊💚 Link www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/Yy0G88Pn

“I will level with you…low productivity the result of an economy scarred by austerity, Brexit and by consistently failing to unlock the nations potential” Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP. But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion. He said it was a “hoax”. He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference. Why?

Pretty awkward for Gullis & Tice…

First Jenkins and now Gullis. Reform’s new powerhouse of intellect has just swung in on a rubber tyre.

Keir Starmer, "Tax rises do make life harder for people, I understand that, it's obvious" It's also obvious that a wealth tax of 1% on those with £10m+ would NOT make life harder for the rich - thats also obvious 🤷‍♂️

Little Steven Ten Names with his mind the sewer "doing a journalism" and getting completely owned again.

A petition to launch an inquiry into “Russian influence on UK politics & democracy” has hit 100k signatures! This could prove to be particularly awkward for Farage and Reform given the proof of Russian interference and recent conviction of their former head of Wales: www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Misleading the public by omission is also an issue. Farage and Badenoch persistently fail to acknowledge the huge economic harm of #Brexit to the public finances. That particular black hole is estimated to be worth £50 billion (OBR) up to £90 billion (NBER).

Plopkins: FARAGE MUST FACE SLEAZE PROBE OVER RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE, RACISM AND COUNTLESS OTHER LIES

When a Labour peer tells you their policy choices are wrong....
