How is it that the seriously rich found themselves in hock to a pervert? Are they really that bad at managing their own fortunes that they grubbed around for 20K here and 70K there? And yet us peasants (by comparison) manage our meagre incomes without cheapening ourselves thus?

Doing what I do best - igniting young minds with the joy of storytelling. This time, with Street Dogs. Hope in children! #streetdogsthebook #childrensauthor

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

Never forget: never let anyone else forget either.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

We threw away such a lot for that not-so “special relationship”. A more confident nation, with more honest politicians, would admit it and make amends with Europe. This is all such bullshit.

youtu.be/neLXqbR_r0E?... No. This is dystopia.

Being gifted the Peace Prize does not mean that you were awarded the Peace Prize. Please someone point that out to him. #fakenews

More appalling news from dystopia central www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Hmm…..unlike his heroine, this man IS for turning!

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen, mother, and community member in the Twin Cities, was fatally shot by an #ICE agent in #Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. She was not the target of any investigation and was remembered as a kind, loving person.

Thought he was the first anti - war President??

Very much all of this. The many Brits bashing the capital are very useful idiots for overseas efforts to undermine the country imho. As I've said before, it's time to push back at the nonsense

Keir Starmer gives Reform some 'festive advice' 'If mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts... this time report it to the police,' he jokes #PMQs

Keir Starmer: "I have a Christmas message for Reform. If mysterious men from the east come bearing gifts...this time, report it to the police."

Nothing says loving your country like wanting a foreign leader to bankrupt the national broadcaster...

Lovely little animation by @mandylalley.bsky.social reminding you that Street Dogs False Friends is for Christmas. But not just for Christmas! #childrensbooks #christmasgifts #childrensauthor

"There is no man smaller than a coward at a hero's wake." Irish proverb

The poets and the dreamers are remembered long after the despots are gone. Goodnight good people.

Where are these proud Brexiters' will-of-the-people and sovereignty arguments now? They seem to prefer being the gimp of a foreign autocrat, to accepting the wishes of the majority in their own country. Is this why they wanted to "take back control"? To hand it over? ~AA

Yeah, so, why are you still not investigating Brexit?

"BERNARD MANNING!" www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/989c0d4...

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

"He so exactly reminds me of the Farage that said those things back then." Peter Ettedgui says he has to switch off the TV when the Reform leader is on because of how much it reminds him of his schooldays.

‘People are thanking me.” Peter Ettedgui says he’s been ‘totally surprised’ by the reaction to him accusing Nigel Farage of racism in his schooldays.

I’m not racist Ok I said racist things, but I didn’t mean them hurtfully If anyone was hurt, the BBC made me do it …All just in a few days

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

Zia Yusuf - the unelected multimillionaire policy chief of Reform - makes his fourth Question Time appearance tonight. The party has five MPs

Truth.

I don’t really like self - promotion, but likewise, no one will do it for me! If you’re buying gifts for young book lovers, Street Dogs False Friends is a belter! AND you’ll be supporting an emerging children’s author. Me!

👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽 Music to my ears. ~AA

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

@reform-uk-official.bsky.social Why aren’t you using your full name on your title?? Reform Party Uk Ltd?

A lovely little something for me to wake up to. A five star review for False Friends from someone that I don’t know! Lovely to know the book has made an impact on someone.

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.

Should you want to know what patriotism looks like.

Reform - the party for patriots - spawned Nathan Gill. An exemplar of patriotism. 10 years is not enough.

A message to all terrified of assertive, clever and articulate women (including Presidents)

Seems Nigel is a performative fraud.

I’m so happy to see this. @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social is one of our own. Like @thenerve.news he’s an old Observer hand. Later at BBC he did everything, but in 2018, he found himself blocked from one particular subject…Russia & Brexit. Please give him a hand…Sweeney’s coming home 👏👏👏

Thank God for Plaid.

There.Is.No.Place.For.Hatred! What has happened in Manchester is deplorable. End of. As is what has happened to Gaza. It too is deplorable. Both of my statements can be true at the same time! Why do we have to state that?!

Everyone in this country is descended from immigrants. Every single last one of us. And many, like Mr Farage, will have very recent migrant ancestors indeed and not even know about it.

Their daughter, Gladys, later married a descendant of French Huguenots called Harry Farage... and Gladys and Harry are the grandparents of this man. Maybe someone should ask him who of his ancestors he'd have liked to deport. 3/3
