“Farage “broke Britain" with Brexit and is now, outrageously, capitalising on the vast damage he caused” Article argues there’s no need to mention Reform’s racism as the Brexit shitshow is failure enough. But that had its roots in racism too. So let’s do both. app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

False claims - including this one - circulate on here and on Meta’s platforms. But it is strategically brain dead for the government not to be trying to move politicos away from X, where this stuff circulates straight into political commentary freely and where the owner hates and opposes you.

Despite what its detractors say, a clear - and in most member states very large - majority of EU citizens believe that their country has benefited from EU membership. The UK benefited a lot from EU membership too, despite the Brexiter lies. It's time to plan to rejoin!

A rare example of EU law being agreed by a razor-thin margin - the amendments to EU law on airline passengers' rights were supported by Member States with 65.57% of EU population (needed 65% to pass). And this still needs further negotiation with the European Parliament to become law.

There’s definitely something interesting in the fact the “Englishness is an ethnicity” people seem so uncurious about Englishness as a culture. Like, you never see Matt Goodwin eulogising test cricket, or warm beer, or Gregg’s, or mad East Anglian non conformism, or In Our Time

"By any sensible definition, 'racist' is a word you can't apply to someone who doesn't want Romanians living next door." Says Fraser Nelson, who happily published Taki's Nazi fandom, racist liar Liddle, and white nationalist Douglas Murray. Beyond satire. frasernelson.substack.com/p/who-thinks...

Where @thenewworldmag.bsky.social leads…back in August, we wrote about how many of the immigration issues Nigel Farage complains about were the result of policies he advocated. Now both Ed Davey *and* Keir Starmer are saying the same. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-n...

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Hammering home this point is long overdue - it’s astonishing that Farage is escaping responsibility for the damage wreaked by Brexit.

Reform invited Lucy Connolly – who was jailed for inciting violence in a post calling for asylum hotels to be burned down – to be a main stage speaker at their party conference *just last month*.

Farage & Reform are a very whiny. They give it out but go all snowflake if anyone gives it back.

Is the attack on bearded men a tilt at J D Vance? Maybe Hegseth has his eye on the VP job.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

The administration's approach to drug cartels relies — at least in part — on a blueprint for military strikes that mirror those waged during the global war on terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Seeing him and the conference finally rise to this is quite something. You can see the surge of confidence in the speech as he realises, hey basic antiracist rhetoric is popular and I believe it too! Glad the message has sunk in.

I think that was Keir Starmer’s best speech as Labour leader, in part because he clearly believed most of it and the argument actually cohered and had some policy substance to it.

Kemi Badenoch is as relevant to current UK politics as a debate between Lord Palmerston and Lord Napier.

Farage v Starmer for PM is currently 33% to 45% to Starmer (at a low point for an incumbent PM) Labour government v Reform government 46% to 34% @yougov.co.uk "This binary works" but it may not motivate turnout + then voting Labour sufficiently, says Patrick English @thefabians.bsky.social

I moan about British politics but I suppose we should be glad that our party leaders are not yet asking the generals to declare war on their own citizens.

Sorry, but Burnham has made himself beneath contempt. He now says he wants to “rejoin the EU in his lifetime”. So do many of us. He did nothing to stop #Brexit, he never criticised Corbyn who helped deliver Brexit & while we were fighting in Parliament for a second referendum he undermined us.

Good. He was probably making everyone's ears bleed. Owen Jones kicked out of Labour conference over 'safeguarding' issue - Mirror Online share.google/ukFyeGU6Pg0D...
