The Reform tropes are emotional hot buttons that fall to pieces when analysed. 'The Deep State' - it doesn't exist. 'We want our country back' - only Dr Who can go back to 1959. "The Establishment are after Nigel." - does that include his millionaire backers, or his 7 of 8 privately schooled MPs?

This is a fictional character Nigel Farage, created by Nigel Farage. I suspect the real Nigel Farage, drinks wine & smokes cigars.📚

I've shared this on X too...I'm preparing for torrents of abuse.

Spare a thought this morning for my youngest. At 14 she has just been 'dumped' by her first boy friend, they had been very close for 4 months. Poor girl is devastated, hasn't slept & was sobbing for hours. It takes me back 50 years to that indescribable pain of young lost love. Do you remember? 💔

Perfect.

My photo in yesterday's Yorkshire Post, it reminds me of dear old Windy Miller from Camberwick Green.😁

After careful consideration over the past decade, I have reached this firm conclusion - Trump is a moron.🤔

Brilliant...not one of mine!

"Roll up, roll up for Honest Nigel's End of the Pier Show!"

Clacton could go either way!

"Disastrous own goal by England's veteran right winger, Farage." ⚽️

Best response to Honest Nige & his farcical by election is for the other parties not to stand....although Count Binface is throwing his lid in the ring!

Is Honest Nige about to resign? He has 5 gardens to look after if he does.

Few things are as pathetic as a sore loser! Belgium 4 USA 1

Infantino might be head of FIFA but he doesn't have the ⚽️⚽️ to stand up to Trump.

Typically Trump, "I don't want to say that," but then does! Having destroyed electoral integrity, he has now smeared the World Cup with 💩

Now very likely that 'Honest Nige' will be red-carded & suspended from parliament. As he rarely goes, guess we won't notice much difference.🤔

It's deeply profound that on J4 250 a regime of climate change deniers is being massively impacted by extreme weather. ☀️

Reform in a nutshell.

For those on here who wisely left X - a taste of what you left behind.This is just vile, she is just vile & makes money out of being vile.

Trump's Constitution.

BBC News - Supreme Court rejects Trump's appeal of E Jean Carroll's sexual abuse case www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The world should be coming together to deal with the horrendous consequences of climate change & natural disasters like the Venezuelan earthquake. Leaders who engage in unnecessary wars, like Putin & Trump, should be turfed out by their own populace.There's enough to endure without such criminals.

What a pathetic little man Trump is. 6 years on & the sad toddler still can't accept that Biden whooped his ass. As a misogynist, we should also point out to him that he was only able to beat women.

American Christian Natiomalism.

Norman Wisdom.🤠

Erasmus was a wise man.

A beautiful Yorkshire chalk stream.

Will America ever get over the shame of twice electing an 80 year old toddler to run the country? 🚼🍼👼

Many will disagree, but we have just witnessed the dignified resignation of a decent man.The problem isn't really Starmer, it's us! 7 PMs in 10 years suggest, as Shakespeare put it, 'something rotten in the state.' The biggest cause, the catastrophe that no PM has properly dealt with - it's BREXIT!

Good morning from York.

youtube.com/watch?v=bjty... Idiocy has consequences!

My first AI generated image!

The best thing Burnham could do, if & when he becomes PM, is introduce a Bill to reform our awful voting system. We need much fairer representation of people's views & a sharing of power by parties - PR would likely deliver both.

It's fun on X today - Reform supporters aren't taking their defeat in Makerfield too well. Some are responding like the Orange Duce in the White House, screaming 'it's rigged."

Restore - sounds like a dodgy product for old white men, angry at losing their hair & maybe their libido. Come to think on it, that's exactly who they are.

Spot the pigeon.😃

Farage isn't looking like the political future of the UK this morning. He looks like he always has been, an idle charlatan who fuels political division for personal gain.

Wonderful to wake up to the news from Makerfield. When it comes to parliamentary elections the right are nowhere near as strong as they constantly say they are. Most people reject the politics of fear, anger & hate - this isn't the US!

We are lucky here in sleepy Beverley to have direct trains to London.🚈

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

A nice way to travel.

Of his serial crimes, maybe Trump's worst one is stealing truth?

A simple country scene.
