When you think it’s home time but there’s still 40 minutes to go.

Tommy Robinson visited the US State Department today at the invite of the Trump administration. He's Britain's most prominent far-right street thug with criminal convictions for assault, violence, fraud, stalking & harassment. He was jailed in 2012 for trying to enter the US with a false passport.

🚨 BREAKING PMQs🚨 Starmer berates Farage for not condemning the death threat to Natalie Fleet MP from a Reform UK councillor. "Look at their candidate in Gorton and Denton. A man who says anyone who isn't white cannot be English. No wonder he's been endorsed by Tommy Robinson."

Nigel Farage refuses to apologise and condemn Reform councillor Simon Evans for sharing a death threat against Labour MP Natalie Fleet 😱 Keir Starmer explained what happened and invited Nigel Farage to apologise Instead, Nigel Farage stood up and spoke about something else

Powerful moment in the Commons as Starmer calls on Farage to apologise for the Reform councillor who shared a post calling for Labour MP Natalie Fleet to be shot, pointing out that when Farage faced death threats Starmer condemned them. Farage totally ignores that & asks about the Chago Islands.

My views on the SEND reforms news today. This is my view as a parent of 2 children with SEND and as someone who cares deeply about the welfare of staff in the education system.

Frankenstein chicken, that’s what these people serve - genetically bred, prone to disease - finger licking good? And these Frankenchicks have far more fat in them than chicken used to have. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🇺🇸 Even after all of the chaos caused by ICE in the US, Reform UK still seem desperate to impersonate Trump. ICE has divided America and led to violence in the streets. ⚠️ Reform UK are no friends of the British people.

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

💯 accurate @bjennings90.bsky.social Reform UK is a one-man band.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Feeling quite patriotic. This is what equality under the law is meant to look like.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

A Reform council is scrapping a scheme that costs it nothing & helps refugees integrate, while Reform scapegoats refugees for failing to integrate. This is the nature of Reform and the viciously racist ideologies that feed it from overseas. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is a stunningly beautiful book

Not exactly surprising Matt attracts these people given his own output..will the national media follow up on this? (h/t @benstanley.eu) manchestermill.co.uk/goodwins-gan...

Fighting age man flees his homeland to seek asylum on overcrowded island.

@stephenkb.bsky.social Stephen Bush one day and the absolute disgrace Rod Liddle the next. Jesus Christ @skynewsrss.bsky.social Wtf

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

Remember when Gary Lineker, who as far as I know pays tax in the UK, was told to stick to football?

The Gov have just announced major reforms to our democracy with the draft Representation of the People Bill, aiming to protect against foreign interference & empower young people. I've long been pushing for these changes. Here's what I want to see in the Bill. ⬇️ #Disinformation #Democracy

Ratcliffe, a billionaire immigrant parasite colonising tax-free Monaco, which is practically integrated with the EU country France, tells us that we are being colonised by immigrants. Source: Sky News #UKNews

Keir Starmer calls Ratcliffe's claims "offensive and wrong" Reform leader Nigel Farage supports the claim that Britain has been colonised by immigrants (which involved Ratcliffe's mistake vastly exaggerating the scale of change, by a factor of 5-10)

Cowards are not worth your time. Never forget who caved to Trump. Gallup has been tracking presidential approval for eight decades.

So glad to see George Cottrell being named in parliament yesterday. He was Farage’s head of fundraising when he convicted of an offence related to money laundering & is still close to & funding Farage. Crypto is an urgent democratic threat to the UK

I’ve spent my whole career fighting for working people. Now, as a Labour MP, I’m proud to be delivering the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.

Perfect

"consider the basic condition that allows Westminster and Whitehall to be so rubbish and get away with it: they are not just monopolies, they set the rules..." "thank you Mr Cummings, that will be all" "I'm not finished" "but we've been here for 3 days"

Thanks to @pollybillington.bsky.social for her great work in exposing this.

Greater Manchester Police are investigating Reform over the potential breaking of electoral law in the Gorton & Denton by-election. The party sent out election materials without identifying they were the promoter. If Reform won the election the result could be overturned in court.

As the TV Licence is increasing by £5.50 to an eye watering £180, it’s a time to remember where that money goes👇🏼👇🏼 Fun fact - Laura Kuenssberg is paid circa £395,000, so that’s a whopping £665,000 paid to just 2 third rate ex journalists, who are now full time Reform cheerleaders promoting Farage 😡

Kuenssberg: MPs are shocked and angry at Mandelson - but they're furious with Starmer. Voters: Piss off!

Looking at all the media attacks Keir Starmer is getting over the Epstein files when he isn't mentioned, you wonder what would they would do to a politician who is mentioned in them - like Farage for instance. The answer appears to be nothing.

The exhibition I have worked my socks off on is now open 🙌🏻 If you've any interest in the universality of mental health and how artists depict this in their work, give it a go! Free entry and on until 19th April The Weight of Being - Two Temple Place share.google/gCnF9kblECGY...

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit. Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Perhaps we should all be forming a protective ring around the Starmster

By searching for "Farage" in the Epstein Files database (justice.gov/epstein), 38 results come up. In one, Steve Bannon suggests to Epstein that his advisory roles to European political parties means he can influence European Parliament…. 1/3

Why are the names of those who sent these emails to Epstein redacted?

"We miss the UK within the European Union."

Imagine Mandelson is under a lot of stress right now so just as well his husband is a trained osteopath.

1. Interesting to see Reform abandon its flirtation with nativism / birth rate boosterism in favour of the policy of the last Tory government 2. “Starve a kid for a cheaper pint” is quite the policy. Be interested to see how that performed in focus groups (especially all male versus mixed).

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I caught an interview with the author of The Mattering Instinct and thought about your show. The gist is that a lot of the anger you hear isn’t really about policy, but about people feeling like they don’t matter anymore. May explain rise of the RW

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

hello we’re deranged

A Reform UK insider told the Record the party was purposefully delaying the announcement of its candidates for the Holyrood election "to shorten the time for media scrutiny".

Holy shit. Like Tiananmen Square levels of bravery.
