Hundreds of Fake Pro-Trump Avatars Emerge on Social Media. The AI-generated fake influencers have surged on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in an apparent bid to hook dumb conservative voters. #FakeMAGAInfluencers www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/b...

The health secretary wants to keep us in the dark about Palantir’s systems for handling sensitive health records. So we’re taking legal action with Democracy for Sale to fight back: https://goodlaw.social/249f

The significant year on year fall on boat arrivals is broadly unreported by BBC or other media. It has less to do with imminent government changes currently going through than a fall in "push factors" that is Europe-wide

The facts about asylum seekers are in the BBC article But they’re buried deep enough to be missed Which leaves a very different impression at the top @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint! www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedb...

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted… every date has been altered…History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - 1984, George Orwell

Reform's Ricky Hodges urged "veterans" to put the city's mayor, Sadiq Khan, "in a coma for a long time". Previously said he wanted to shoot people "in the face", and that he would "love to come up against" a group of Labour activists to "take their... limbs off". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use. Lovely People. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s illustrative to recognise when the Guardian uses the word investment (straightforward handing over cash to the private sector) and when it uses spending (welfare, public sector wages)

Conservative MP Esther McVey claimed last week that knife crime in London “is up 72% in a year”. That figure’s not correct, according to police statistics on knife-enabled crime, and we’ve not found any data to support it.

Treasury is holding thousands of Epstein‑related financial records — including overseas payments from Epstein routed through Russian banks Treasury refuses to release them to Congress

Reform Essex activist who hosted Nigel Farage at his tanning salon is also a Nazi superfan who believes that "Hitler was right." Excellent work from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/n...

Daniel Astley is Reform UK’s candidate in Benwell, Scotswood & Denton Burn, Newcastle. He previously resigned from the party (he was Chair of Reform UK Newcastle North) stating “I no longer have faith in the party’s leadership while Zia Yusuf is Chairman”.

President Trump, "We should have Greenland to protect the world against Russia and China" "The USA should not be paying trillions to NATO" - Since the founding of NATO in 1949, the US has contributed $45 billion, nowhere near a trillion, let along, trillions

Woman "Flags went up before the potholes were sorted. You could not tell the truth if your life depended on it. So get your silly little racist flags and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. It's pathetic. You're pathetic" Lee Anderson "It's very nice to meet you" 🤣

IT ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK IS NOT

BREAKING: Nigel Farage has FINALLY admitted that Reform UK lied about cutting council tax. That means he knows HE lied repeatedly about whether they promised to. Are Reform voters smart enough to reject a proven liar in the #LocalElections?

Nigel Farage is desperately trying to deflect attention from this scandal, but it won't wash. Richard Tice is not denying that his business did not pay the taxes it owed: it's as simple as that. Reform can't now claim that the rules don't apply to him. t.co/CZNeBpe1Dy

Reform UK's energy prize winners, Wigan-based Raymond and June Dibble "are the very same couple who nominated Lee Moffitt to become the Wigan branch chair of Reform UK." Moffitt appears in the publicity video posted by Farage of their miraculous win. Fancy that! bylinetimes.com/2026/04/13/r....

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

Oh, FGS - @politico.com is taking sponsorship money from Palantir - running their ads through news updates. That's absolutely the *last* thing we need in our politics, Palantir going straight for the political-media environment at a time when we need massive scrutiny of their contracts in the UK.

Just a doctor doing Red Cross stuff.

Looks like they “net-zero” scam that the right have been having a massive fannywobble about might just be legit. Who knew?

Odd how the minor administrative errors always seem to produce the same results. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“It’s deeply shocking that Reform has developed such close ties with Orbán’s regime, an authoritarian govt with an appalling record of rolling back democracy and civic rights” Where ‘deeply shocking’ = entirely on brand. Hungary shows us we must never give them power. www.desmog.com/2026/04/08/m...

Reform UK donor linked to sanctioned Iranian conglomerate A churchwarden behind a £200,000 gift to Nigel Farage’s party is the director of a company cited in French intelligence memos

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9B...

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

The lies and corruption never end with these people.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

There is no McTry.

The only president stupid enough to do it.

Extraordinary - in an article about resilience, not a single word about “cascading risks” of ecosystem collapse which a recent report from PM’s own security advisers warned could lead to food shortages, civil unrest & conflict. Ministers suppressed, then redacted, the report & still won’t act on it

My debunk of Sarah Vine's opinion piece 👇 open.substack.com/pub/monkdeb... 6/6

Defence minister Luke Pollard boasting: "We've got a large amount of military assets in the region that have been involved in shooting down Iranian drones" But remember folks, we're not involved.
