🎰 “When First Past the Post collides with multiparty competition, the electoral slot machine spins into operation” ⚠️ A stark warning from the @economist.com that the “unfairness of FPTP could undermine the legitimacy of the governments it produces”

We estimate that by the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been without Brexit, based on macro data, and 6% smaller using firm-level micro data” www.euronews.com/business/202...

Unity is stronger than division. I agree with that. Therefore, I wonder why this alliance is limited to the UK. The far right has a global network and is backed by billionaires. That's why I believe that a European or global initiative will be more effective b/c many more people can join this.

Reform allegedly launches an investigation into its accidentally White Supremacist council leader. One thing we are seeing is that groups, journalists and politicians calling out the fascists stop this becoming normalised.

Sir John Curtice "Joining the EU Single Market and Customs Union would give the Labour government a distinct purpose. There'd be immediate economic benefits and clear electoral difference to Reform Farage and Tories." Labour needs to ditch the Morgan MacSweeney strategy that is destroying Labour

Crypto investor Christopher Harborne, who has just donated £9 million to Reform, is also an aviation fuel entrepreneur. In other news Reform, which has pledged to scrap all Net Zero plans, just declared a £36,000 donation from Heathrow bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

100 years of November sea surface temperature departures through this year. This is a lot of variability along with the long-term warming. For example, the La Niña signature for this year is becoming more prominent in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. 🌊 Data from NOAA ERSSTv5 at doi.org/10.7289/V5T7...

So the Daily Mail owner's wife has just given £50,000 to Nigel Farage's Reform UK

Apparently people are once again asking who's at fault here. We can improve road safety dramatically by revoking the driver's licence of everyone who thinks it's the cyclist's fault.

A Thailand-based crypto investor has handed a record-breaking £9 million to Reform UK, shortly before Nigel Farage used media interviews to plug his crypto firm and promise lower taxes and deregulation on the industry bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs That's an extra £3 billion a year Why? Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

Possible future Brexiter case for rejoining the EU: 1. A fabulous Brexit future is possible in theory! 2. Brexit was only a disaster because it wasn't done properly 3. But politicians / Establishment / Civil Service / dark forces will NEVER EVER allow a proper Brexit to happen 4. So let's rejoin

This is why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social needs to go all in on street safety, bike lanes, bus lanes, pedestrians plazas and more. The Post – and the Right in general – is going to call anything he does a “war on drivers” no matter what, so why not just do what’s right and go for it?

Refuk’s Coburn, who was UKIP’s leader in Scotland, appeared in WhatsApp messages to traitor Nathan Gill. CPS evidence shows repeated references to a “David” and a payment of $6,500 to an MEP called “D”. In April 2019, Voloshyn wrote to Gill: “I’m seeing D in the morning. How much was for him?”

Oh look it‘s spreading. (Reality, that is.)

The scale of the Brexit damage forces the less dishonest Brexiters to admit reality. (Sunak, same paper, continues to delude himself and his readers) (Farage would rip up any reset and plunge business into more costly uncertainty) “Such evidence cannot be dismissed as Project Fear. It is data”

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

"But the measures will still leave the county council with a deficit of £72mn over the coming four years... ...unless councillors agree more cuts or council tax increases or use of reserves or a combination of the three."

“A petition demanding a full inquiry into Russian influence in UK politics has surged past 100,000 signatures after being shared at remarkable speed across social media.”

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee. Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.” If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

95% of the UK MSM as it stands will NEVER hold Farage to account As they didn’t over Brexit Because it’s all the same thing paid for by the same people Brexit = Trump VI Trump VI = Farage All roads lead to Putin hence why the Brexit backing UK MSM will remain mute on the subject of Gill

Nigel Farage can't buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Really bad news. And completely irresponsible given where we are.

The Russian Inquiry will speed up Nigel Farage’s exit from politics and from Britain. What a time to be alive!

Even the Brexit-backing right recognises the mistake of Brexit. They don't offer any way out for the UK. You can still feel the arrogant pride in this article. Humility is required, realism about consequences such as giving up trade deals, and positivity about Europe.

Trevor McArdle Do we really believe that Farage, as an MEP, got paid nothing for making the same points as Martin Gill

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit. Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-4.

How many separate car brains within Swansea Council must have approved and actioned placing a parking space right across the end of this footpath?

BOOM!! 100,000 signatures! Now let’s have a date for the debate petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

The Farageists are on 25%, while the two parties most clearly opposed to them, and most likely to take votes from Labour, the Greens and LibDems are on a combined 31%. That's a very important political story which has barely been noticed.

The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Not the Brexit deal. Brexit. A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until we’re brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.

So... this just happened. archive.ph/2025.11.29-1...

The Telegraph, ladies and gentlemen.

🔥 The mood in Brexit-world is changing...

“A petition demanding a full inquiry into Russian influence in UK politics has surged past 100,000 signatures after being shared at remarkable speed across social media.”

If the Telegraph can do this, why can’t #BBC journalists challenge all politicians who bemoan our lack of growth on the elephant in the room: the damage of #Brexit+what can be done to repair it? @omrgriffiths @Nshallice @dianamartinbbc @JonathanAspinw1 @JohntNeal @jonathancmunro

Guess what.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

Here is David Coburn, the former UKIP MEP who was mentioned in WhatsApp messages between the traitor Nathan Gill and his Russian paymaster, saying there was cash available for Coburn. Needless to say, I have never met the man.

There was never really a point where horse usage reached anywhere near the saturation of car usage, so it's hard to compare. At the highest point there was about one horse for every five Americans. People just walked a lot!

It is truly disgusting how trump keeps disrespecting women journalists in those press briefings, and not ONE other journalist calls him out. They should all walk out when he tells a reporter "Quiet, Piggy," or shouts "YOU'RE STUPID" at another. Where are your fucking SPINES?

Two Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea are burning. It seems they were hit by Ukrainian drones, opening up a new front in the naval war, so that justifies an #explodey

Welcome to the Streisand Effect.

Tucker Carlson is a rightwing conspiracy theorist and Putin apologist who was sacked by FOX.... yes FOX BUT The Spectator is happy to pay him to talk down our capital city... despite it thriving and crime falling. Whose side are you on Mr Gove?

Adam Kinzinger nails it: We’re witnessing corruption under Trump at unseen levels that is a full-blown assault on the rule of law. America’s never seen anything like this, and pretending it’s normal is how democracies fall. #TrumpCorruption #USDemocracy #Pinks youtube.com/shorts/Oedsp...

We'll be needing that back soon.
