The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

It's not fair to form a judgment of Nigel Farage's character based solely on unpleasant things he said and did at school. He was only just getting started.

As right wing rags attack the chancellor for her Budget, they can't ignore the disastrous impact Brexit has had on our economy.

Anyway from now on we can all legitimately call Reform the "Black Shirts" - given they're flogging them to their actual members. What an own goal! Geddit?

Mansion tax will be paid by less than 1 in 200 homes. 145k out of 30.4m homes. For every home that will pay something under the new tax, 199 won't. It's a tax on the 0.5% and 99.5% of us will not pay it.

Nigel Farage is a huge success. He has turned Britain into a country no one wants to come to and everyone who can wants to leave. Unless you’re fleeing terror of course. Because even Britain beats that. Just.

A quick reminder of who Nigel Farage was most concerned about when Putin's tanks first rolled into Ukraine

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.

This should be the headline on all news channels but it’s buried low in the live feed on BBC with of course negativity from Mason leading the misdirection! Please RT to put it out there..

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

"We will always be on the side of working people", Farage's 'Letter to the Nation' says today. What he neglects to admit is that Reform plans to cut £300+ billion from the public services that these "working people" rely on every day.

What do you get when you mix the best selling single of the king of pop with the lately departed queen of MAGA? This is what we get: a parody of Billie Jean about #mtg #maga #marjorietaylorgreene 🎶🕺 youtu.be/Xr0_HN9KNCs

*It was used in 2023, when it was an unacceptable term. *Twenty years ago, in 2005, it was an unacceptable term. *Can we please stop re-establishing his already-established racism and his defence of racism?

The OBR says that the VAT charge on private schools has raised more money than expected because fewer pupils have gone into the state sector Never believe the Tories and their media.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch. We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Kentish Fran 🇪🇺 Remember that Farage was one of the laziest MEPs. He rarely turned up for a vote. I wonder what was so special about this one?😉

‘You, Boy! Go and racially abuse everybody you meet …but not in a hurtful or insulting way!’

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election. Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

This is how your £100 Income Tax was spent... £22 → NHS £6 → Defence £10 → Education £10 → Debt interest £11.40 → State pensions £4.15 → Working-age welfare (PIP, Universal Credit, health support, etc.) £0.50 → Asylum system £0.70 → Overseas aid Yeah! Hate spending that £1.20!

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’. It’s Russian.

Richard Tice, March 2025: "I have never met Nathan Gill, and he has never had anything to do with Reform,"

The front page of today’s New York Post. ❤️

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.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

So the new version of MAGA is that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a traitor, Rand Paul is a RINO, and Zohran Mamdani is great. Got it.

That's an absolutely appalling third umpire decision. 5 minutes and still gets it wrong. Jamie Smith has dome amazingly well to show no dissent there #ashes

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

What would Nigel Farage be saying about Keir Starmer right now if a former leader within his party was going down for ten years for being in effect a traitor to his country?

Rep. Jason Crow: “Karoline Leavitt is outright lying. Actually, what she said from the podium is that there was an encouragement of disobeying lawful orders. We actually said the exact opposite.”

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives. Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

The report into Boris Johnson’s record during the Covid epidemic blames a ‘toxic, sexist and chaotic culture’ in Downing Street. Who’d have thought it?

No Reform MP’s turn up on urgent questions about Russia.

Oops

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Receipts from 8 years ago - and yes Andy Wigmore did refer this to Farage’s lawyers

We must copy Denmark Social Democrats' hardline anti-asylum measures in order to win back voters' trust, says Shabana Mahmood. Meanwhile in Denmark:

This has got a good beat to it.

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite. (Note also the line about pronouncing his name.) www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

It’s interesting that Marjorie Taylor Greene never needed a security detail on account of the left. But since she has “disappointed” the PedoFuhrer the right is sending her death threats and security is necessary. Tell me again, which side is the more violent?

Ohh, well that clears up everything 🙄
