Can we talk about someone else more interesting now? 🐸🍺🚬💰

The prospect of Nigel Farage fighting a people vs the establishment by-election in which the only other candidate is Count Binface - is too hilarious for words.

Keep talking about the 5 million. Keep talking about Cottrell. Keep talking about all the houses. The accusations of antisemitism. Being bezzies with Trump. Admiring Putin. Don’t let him control the narrative with his drama queen antics.

Calling a by-election over the sovereign right of every MP to take secret gifts from a convicted criminal. What a time to be alive.

Absolute state of that man... shameless and clearly doesn't give a toss about wasting taxpayer money

Let's allow the daylight in and make the smoking, pint holding, pretend 'man of the people' patriot a laughing stock (as well as hopefully uncovering some criminal misdeeds for the police/HMRC/Electoral Commission to look into)- most morality tales end up with the bad guy getting his comeuppance...🙏

The definition of a true fan: You’d rather see your team lose fairly than win unfairly.

I love seeing Nigel Farage come under coordinated attack on multiple fronts More of this please!

Farage denies rules broken after reports benefits from ally were not declared The trust in uk politics is at a knife edge If Farage isn’t sacked and face a by-election, uk politics is then accepting corruption, fraud and enemy state interference in the system Farage has to be made an example

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd... This whole situation was unimaginably horrific- but for there have been no detention at all in the original sentence, given what these boys had done to their victims was unbelievable 😔

A British-Indian friend told me how Reform activists threatened to take away her family's passports if they get into power. The rising tide of racism should worry us all. And the politicians who are stoking it must be condemned.

Every day I'm more ashamed to live in this country "Generosity": not the word I'd use for a levying a retroactive tax on people fleeing war and persecution, for the privilege of living in substandard conditions while politicians abuse them and strangers threaten to burn them out of their bedrooms

I propose that we test leaving the ECHR by first removing ECHR protected rights from all Reform MPs, all Reform members & all Reform donors for a set period of no less than 5 years.

Manny Jacinto please and thank you

‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O’Brien, Patricia Quinn, and Meat Loaf time warped into theaters in Germany on this day 50 years ago (June 24, 1976) 💍 🎶 ⚡️ #OTD

Hello- do people refer to house-shares as HMOs these days? Just earwigging someone on the train and she was talking about living in HMOs and it got me pondering...

The people have continued to speak for 10 years now. Brexit was a huge mistake, it has robbed us of our rights and opportunities and damaged the country. We need a government that will rejoin the SM and a CU as a matter of urgency. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can I say - no to a leadership contest and no, no, no to Wes Streeting- if Burnham is crowned leader can we see lots of women in cabinet and a move to PR (STV will do) & towards closer ties with the EU. Also can we see if we can find ways to reduce profit extraction from public services. Merci 🙏

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Birmingham UK antifa protesters outnumber the far-right demonstration and the police force that came to avoid any clash between the two sides.

On balance I'd rather not experience having a treacherous grifting charlatan as my head of government in order to bring my country back to its senses... (See US for details)

Correct...r*cists are p○|s○n 💯🔚👇🏾 Tomorrow many decent people will come together again, it's time for us to do our bit and take our turn to drive the r*cists out of Brum. Thousands of us meet tomorrow to say 'NO' all forms of b|g○try: 20.06.26 @ 11am, Victoria Square, Birmingham" via Expose Racism

I’ll feel hope again if something serious changes. If the Red Lines are gone. If Shabana Mahmood’s ‘reforms’ are reversed. If Blue Labour are sidelined. If Glasman loses the whip.

The joy today is that hatred lost. Doesn't matter what you think of Burnham. Farage tried to invite a race riot. He dealt in explicitly racial rhetoric. If he'd won, many journalists would have considered it a vindication of his approach and branded our outrage evidence of how out of touch we are.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Reform won their sixth highest share of the vote in Makerfield in the 2024 general election. If Nigel Farage really were heading for Downing Street then his party would be winning a seat like this with ease. Instead he loses his third winnable by-election in a row

Yes, it’s true. Money Box Live has been the standout and most beloved part of my entire career. We have served so many communities, told so many stories and explained so many issues. I am heartbroken.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Belfast, Southampton… the far-right now pins any and every individual crime on entire immigrant communities. It’s a perpetual motion hate machine. What can we do to stop it? 🚨 Listen everywhere linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnow...

Imagine you had so much food in your house that, no matter have hard they tried, your family couldn't possibly eat it. Then, imagine what would happen if you continued to buy and hoard more food, filling cupboard after cupboard. You'd be considered mentally ill Why is this never applied to money?

The process in the Palestine Action case does seem very ‘two-tier’. They would have got lower sentences if they had attempted to burn some immigrants to death.

Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions

Glasgow now, there is no place in Scotland for racism or fascism.

The press want you to believe there are violent protests in Brighton today. Counter protesters outnumbered the Fascists by many thousands. We sang, danced, and waved inflatable bananas and hearts in the name of tolerance and diversity. Fascists not welcome in Brighton.

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case. The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them. Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future

There should be no such thing as a trillionaire

The combined agencies of British anti-terrorist police seem to think an anti-genocide group planning a peaceful protest is more dangerous and TERRIFYING than far right leaders inciting & publishing plans for actual riots "Arrest the shit stirring bastards now....." via We Demand UK #FarageRiots

My worry about the proposals to ban social media for kids is that it doesn't address the aspects that make platforms toxic for everyone, with older less savvy people being as/more susceptible to misinformation, criminal activity, sextortion, compulsion as kids www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

My gf has roped a load of churches into getting their members to collect a load of food that can then be distributed to those who need it across Belfast. Many are afraid to leave their houses, even to get food. People have been delivering food to strangers since this started.

This would all have been different if Starmer had chosen to diffuse rather than reinforce the anti-immigrant rhetoric from the start. There was no need to say ‘yes, you’re right, immigration is bad’ when it isn’t.

Reading about the manosphere for work. It's enraging but ultimately frustrating. The frustration: so little emphasis is placed on just befriending people -yes, including women! - and on being part of a community instead of trying to conquer it. It's fine just being nice. You don't need to be a King.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

I don’t have the words to describe how outrageous and extreme the attacks against Somalis are. The open racism toward a tiny immigrant group who are overwhelmingly citizens is terrifying.

There last few weeks shows how deeply principled and decent people can be, even when going through the most terrible pain. Their grace stands in stark contrast to those who would exploit their suffering for political gain.

Do you think Starmer is ready to admit that this attempt at ethnic cleansing in Belfast, soon to spread to the streets of Sunderland, Middlesborough and elsewhere, is not the result of "legitimate concerns", but of a far right group, radicalised online, by enemies of the UK, both foreign & domestic?

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

What are the Government, police and security services doing about the people who are quite clearly in the pay of a hostile foreign state, and using their platforms to whip up actual pogroms on our streets? This is a major national security issue and absolutely nothing seems to be happening about it

@pimlicat.bsky.social interested to hear your and @sturdyalex.bsky.social take on this... 😢

Not sure how I feel about these given Dyson's Brexit and Covid conduct, however they were on special offer and I love (nice) strawberries 🍓🍓🍓

British Columbia Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social has invited Somali referee Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver, after he was denied entry to the US

Can we just encourage all the angry white blokes to join boxing/martial arts clubs to get the pent up tension out of their systems- life is hard enough atm without riots...
