With Germany’s president visiting the UK, we asked Germans what they think about Brexit. 👀 "It's just so stupid to cut the branch you're sitting on," one person said. Here's what else they had to say ⬇️

Hillsborough: "I cannot accept... how 97 people can be unlawfully killed, the police can lie, and nobody is held accountable... It’s absolutely ridiculous that so few people have been accused of gross misconduct for the lies and cover-up we’ve had to fight for 36 years.” M Aspinall #JFT97

The budget news was premature. The resignation was delayed.

This poem is dedicated to anyone making a start on their advent calendar today.

Former Brexit Party & UKIP MEP, who is being investigated re: Russian bribes, now lives in France. So much for telling us all we should leave the EU. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“She is doing things that I think are letting this country down". Labour peer Alf Dubs, who arrived in the UK on the Kindertransport, tells @nicolakellywrites.bsky.social that he is deeply disappointed in Shabana Mahmood and Keir Starmer's betrayal of child refugees bylinetimes.com/2025/11/28/a...

So, everyone is going to pay increased taxes on income... except non-doms worth >£83m. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn - Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn What gets more attention? James O’Brien says 'we have become a ludicrous country'.

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk. That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Y’know, believing there’s a kind of racism that isn’t hurtful or insulting is itself quite revealing.

“I would never ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way” Nigel Farage responds to allegations of racist behaviour from when he was a teenager at school @itvnewspolitics.bsky.social

Trade folk (including myself) are unconvinced there is much of a growth dividend for Rachel Reeves from agreements with India, EU, and US. Just as there's no evidence of positive impact from independent UK trade policy since 2021. www.politico.eu/article/rach...

John Major labels Brexit an ‘act of collective folly’ 'Britain's enemies celebrated and our friends despaired.' www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/joh...

Where’s Nigel? And why won’t he answer our questions? Who introduced his good friend Nathan Gill to a Russian spy? 🧐 Cracking new film from @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social & @sheridanflynn.com for @thenerve.news

The Right in France seek to work together with the Far-right to stop the Left in power. But, remember, this is how Hitler gained power in 1932. We live in dangerous times. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just imagine a Reform government at Westminster... On second thoughts... please, don't.

"Some bloviating orange monster from Mar-A-Lago" in perfect received pronunciation. Rory Stewart's speech on the fight for democracy.

Another one! Reform councillor accused of ripping off his constituents to the tune of £140k through his businesses. He owes his own council nearly £40k in unpaid tax. His council is suing him

Fox News displaying a poll with the first age bracket for women and men being 15-44. Once again, 15 year olds are children. They are kids. They are not adults, they can’t consent to sex, and pedophilia must not be normalized.

Farage at school by those who knew him best: www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Labour copying the Social Democrat Danish policy isn't the vote-saving policy it's claimed. The Danish Social Democrats are in meltdown (could lose Copenhagen for the first time ever). And where are their votes going? Greens and the far right. Sound familiar? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Ed Davey is supporting Britain and Democracy. The Tories and Farage are siding with Trump and the enemies of democracy. The further right on the political spectrum you look, the more you see traitors betraying our country.

"Nobody really knew for sure what a vote for leaving the EU meant almost a decade ago. This time there are plenty of warning signs for what a Farage led government might look like, and it's not pretty." Our latest letter in this morning's Yorkshire Post.

🚨A reminder; 1.James Dyson – moved to Singapore 🇸🇬 2.Jacob Rees-Mogg – opened in Ireland 🇮🇪 3.Nigel Lawson – applied for French residency 🇫🇷 4.Farage – got German passports for his kids 🇩🇪 5. Lord Edmiston – bankrolled Brexit now to Australia 🇦🇺 Give Us A Hell Yeah 🔥 if you want to Stay Fight Rejoin.

Kent County Council outdo themselves, even as a Reform one, as they repaint safety signs outside a school. The school closed a decade ago. www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/ne...

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool" "This is sociopathic behaviour" "He is toxic, misogynistic, racist" "I'm not a fan of Trump" Christiane Amanpour, "It's pretty clear"

Here's "Trump'll Nail Ya" - a song about the #BBC legal crisis (set to the tune of the shanty "Drunken Sailor") which created a big internal debate about what's a gremlin and what's a mogwai. 🎶⚓️ ... fingers crossed for an apology but not a daft and unnecessary settlement ... youtu.be/VeIF4leMaes

Here's why Britain is in the mess it's in today. And Farage is the lynch pin. And what is the Government doing about it? Nothing.

How hypocritical! British journalist Isabel Oakeshott is infamous for speaking out against migrants, refugees &asylum seekers online. When it comes to the Great British Debate, this is something she can only do online at the moment, because she’s a migrant herself (specifically to Dubai)

"Keep pedalling faster or they'll leave!"

Wile. E. Coyote fails again.

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink. Watch the latest episode of Page 94, The Private Eye Podcast, on YouTube.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Sit back and enjoy.

You don't get coverage like this on Russian TV without Kremlin approval. The Kremlin knew Farage would be a useful tool, and such he has been and continues to be.

They looked from Reform to Tory, and from Tory to Reform; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

First the likes of Farage said we needed to leave the EU. Now they’re coming for the ECHR. Paul Kohler MP: "It feels like Brexit déjà vu with the same hollow promises of taking back control, the same disregard for facts, the same blindness to consequence."

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English. Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’. The messages were deleted after questions were raised by Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

Samir Zitouni was the LNER hero who confronted the knife attacker. Whatever his ethnicity, a true Brit for me - selfless, brave and courageous. Here's hoping for his full recovery. share.google/dwXfylnGXeBZ...
