It was so very depressing to hear #AnnaTurley on #LewisGoodall's show failing to criticise Trump and still pretending #Brexit is just a "bad deal". It was even more depressing to listen to the unadulterated horseshit from Tory MP #MattVickers, who would be out of his depth in a puddle

Labour must grasp the European nettle and follow up this long-overdue decision with action to address the rest of the damage done by Brexit - and that can only mean re-joining." #BrexiCarnage londonlovesbusiness.com/labour-must-...

The story of historians that humans are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. This is so true.

I just signed the massive public invoice of £3.4 billion to GSK - will you sign too?

🔥 WE’RE changing the media. Citizen journalism is peer-to-peer news, it’s forging information networks from the grassroots up, sidestepping the top-down mainstream media. An utterly new model. Become a friend of the Bylines Network and stand with us as we build media as it should be. 👇👇

Elon Musk now owns more than 52% of Americans. In the 80's they joked during the sale of the largest company in history that it could buy everyone a Big Mac. Now the richest 1 person could everyone 40 Big Macs.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned. Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

A message for my rational American friends - your President is spreading fabulist misinformation about London and UK - he is defaming the London Mayor and says London is violent - London has a lower murder rate than many American cities - statistics can be found on line for any interested in truth!

I grew up in the 70s and 80s. If you weren't there, just a little clarification on that Spectator piece. Literally, NOBODY admired Hitler. Apart from nazis. Hope that helps.

The richest 10% of the world’s population owns '75% of all wealth and the bottom half just 2%.' 'Reducing inequality was “not only about fairness, but essential for the resilience of economies, the stability of democracies, and the viability of our planet”

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

‘What’s going on?’ asks Laura Kuenssberg - suddenly fired up with Labour. Funny how that energy was missing during 14 years of Tory rule. So the real question: Where were you then, Laura? Your scrutiny felt absent, and Boris Johnson, whom you once called ‘gifted politician’, never got this heat.

I believe those that want out of the ECHR should first demonstrate their personal capacity to suffer the alternatives. None of this - it’s ok while it’s someone else, just not me. I look toward to see results of 240/ 415 volts attached to their genitals. ! www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

The Reform leader's increasingly rattled public appearances betray a growing sense that the opportunity of a lifetime could be about to slip from his fingers. Why the wheels could be about to fall off the Farage project www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-wheels...

The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne. Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

Fortunately David Lammy you have the chance to vote for a customs union by backing our bill next week. See you in the Aye lobby?

Thank you @mrjamesob.bsky.social for brill description of that walking pile of malevolence ie Nasty Farage as a ‘Pound Shop Donald Trump’ - accurate and completely on the point

The Deep State is a conspiracy theory. I know we all find Truss amusing, but I find it deeply concerning that you've got an actual former Prime Minister even saying this stuff.

this story isn’t going away www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Daisy Cooper: small boats soared from 0 to 46k - all thanks to Brexit and Farage. Muhammad Yusuf’s arrogant smirk proves that she’s 100% right.

🚨NEW POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 All Evri executives to have their Christmas presents delivered by Evri, to see how they like it. Love Christmas. Vote Binface.

Agree 💯 With Larry David.....

The thing about Farage obviously being a racist in youth and his obvious racism as an adult is that it won’t make a difference to all the obvious racists that will vote for him.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with Nothing will change in the UK until the press is dealt with

In March 2022, while Russian invasion forces were pouring into Ukraine, Farage was deeply concerned about the welfare of Russian oligarchs. Why was that? Is there something about Farage and Russia billionaires that the public ought to know about?

2014: “I admire Putin as an operator” 2010-14: Appeared on Russia today 17 times 2017: Knighted by a 7 year old girl on RT 2022: blames EU for Russian invasion 2024: “We provoked this war … of course it’s his fault – he’s used what we’ve done as an excuse” Is this not dodgy?

Since the Nathan Gill conviction, a lot of people seem to be waking up to Putin's meddling in British politics Here's a handy primer from me and @goldbergradio.bsky.social A Beginner's Guide to Russian Influence: Brexit and Beyond @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it: A 6–8% hit to GDP That's £180bn-£240bn a year It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything. Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

People have a right to feel frustrated. But Nigel Farage is turning it into anger and division. He's directing it away from the wealthy and toward the vulnerable. Who benefits? Him and his donors.

If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥 @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

If you think you can trust Farage to run the country, just listen to him lie about Brexit and the "Norway Option". #Reform4Russia 🔷️🇷🇺

£25bn of imagined savings, real-world cruelty and mathematics that should come with a trigger warning.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

It's not going away

What’s more expensive: investing in renewables, or dealing with the £38 trillion annual cost of unchecked climate damage?

The Bishop of Norwich has taken aim at the Home Office’s asylum reforms, warning they’ll make integration harder and deepen division. A rare intervention – and a sharp one.

Ultra-rich media owners are tightening their grip on democracy. It’s time to wrest our power back https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/13/trump-media-ultra-rich-democracy

Please repost and share this petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy. We must do everything in our power to keep the spotlight on Farage's links to Russia and work for Putin. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

If proof was needed of the degree to which Johnson was and is unfit for any public position it’s here. The only thing ‘world beating’ is his lack of compassion or contrition. It is truly staggering. He must never hold public office again. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed @ottoenglish.bsky.social ’s excellent book ‘Notorious’ one reference still echoes for me and that is a quote from the writings of Diderot in 1875 ‘Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest’.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army. Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.

Waiting for the axe to drop on Gill insulates the government from any Faragist crap about being unfairly targeted. Although he’ll probably try it anyway. I don’t think this story is over.
