After campaigning during the local elections criticising councils for raising Council Tax, Reform UK in Durham are planning to raise it by 5%. Liars and hypocrites.

Jeremy Clarkson complains about no village Doctor, no village shops, no village schools, no bobby. This is the same Jeremy Clarkson who loves Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron who made all these things happen with their cuts. They love complaining about what they voted for.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism. Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch. So on brand. Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you. (iPaper)

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Populists attack London because it is ‘progressive and successful’, says Sadiq Khan www.ft.com/content/2e88...

Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."

This is literally what the Telegraph campaigned for.

Abolish the House of Lords, RT if you want it gone. Tear it down.

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up. A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid. Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

BREAKING: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a rare and risky visit to frontline positions near Kupyansk, an area still under heavy fighting.

GB News grilled me apparently? Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel. They lie - obsessively. Help us grow an alternative to all the bollocks: Join.greenparty.org.uk

Reform UK animal lovers, will you be joining your leader at the hunt?

I see #bbcqt is platforming Reform Ltd again. With a Tory defector. And a Tory MP. No Lib Dem, despite them having more MPs in Scotland than the Tories. Reform have precisely none. #bbcbias

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time "Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?" Chair says "have English as a second language" Caption changes the meaning entirely "Don't speak fluent English"

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for putting restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received £9 million from one of its biggest investors bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

this shit is just beyond parody, man

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

Yup. Probably why £9m was donated by a non dom billionaire and also why 90%+ of MSM is owned by right wing billionaires. Poorer people must do as they're told by the *establishment*, the elites that Farage pretends not to represent.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Feeling proud of the intelligent multi-lingual children in our city! This tweet and the Farage video in it about "the cultural smashing of Glasgow" is getting rightly roasted by the good people of Glasgow on the other place...

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

And let's face it, having your phone snatched will be shocking and an inconvenience, but 25 years ago, the equivalent crime was mugging, which was often more violent. Neither are great, if you're the victim, but I still feel safer in London now than I did in the 80s and 90s.

Your reminder of what the Mail, Express and Sun thought about Liz Truss and her Kamikaze budget

They're all kicking off. The last gaps of the old broken system that protected their power & wealth. Change is coming. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!

Coincidence corner: Nigel Farage and crypto. From the new Private Eye, out now.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Gibb; “ I had no editorial role whatsoever at the Jewish Chronicle”. Lee Harpin, reporter at the paper; “RG made a habit of calling into the office on print days to check up on what stories were topping the news list, and offering a view’”

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature. 2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise! That "feature" is now gone.

Well, this is pretty terrifying. The Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph. One massive consolidated right-wing media empire controlled by off-shore interests at a critical moment in global politics. What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

Reform UK will forever be associated with corruption and bribes. #ReformRussianBribes

Nigel gets a jump on the Led by Donkeys guys and proves he is at least self aware.
