hardly anyone will watch Starmer's appearance at Labour conference today but it was probably the best speech he's ever given he clearly signposted what he stands for - a diverse, tolerant, decent Britain - and how be believes progressives are in an existential fight with the populist right

Tower Bridge opens to let a barge through today, it was lovely to watch. What a piece of engineering, Tower Bridge is 131 years old this year.

😂😂😂😂😂 This is absolutely superb. Trump probably won’t let them back in the country.

Reform have become the Temu of UK politics - always, there, always annoying & cheap as shit.

Strong arguments from @liambyrnemp.bsky.social on how best to tackle the threat of Farage.. Do so where he’s weak: The economy⚠️he’d do a Truss++ Workers’ rights⚠️he’s against them Welfare⚠️he’d strip it away NHS⚠️he’d dismantle it. “Populists govern badly but campaign well” So blow up their campaign.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m waiting for my car to be serviced in Honiton. I’m in the most delightful Tea Shop in a side lane in the town. I am fighting not to give in to temptation and have a slice of one if these delicious cakes … I’m weakening … 😋

😂😂

The Lion King …

Labour announced the Hillsborough Law this week, which will ensure truth can never be concealed by the state again. Justice for the 97. Justice for all.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Social division, riots, violence, anarchy is what they need. The world will become more and more unstable. The right will claim they need more powers to stop it and democracy dies. Wake the fuck up!

Elon Musk and his acolytes are creating a world where they are in charge, where they create the economy they want, the Ai they want. They hide their true intentions by blaming immigration, the left, trans etc, in order to create division so they can continue this ride into autocracy and oligopoly.

Andrea Jenkyns has awarded herself an increase of £150K to “run her office” as Mayor of Lincolnshire. Council taxpayers will now have to fork out £262K per annum for her immense talent and expertise. Reform U.K. Ltd, always knowingly grifting.

The split in Your Party has broken into the open. Jeremy Corbyn urges supporters not to donate to the link promoted by Zarah Sultana. Sultana responds calling it a "sexist boys club."

So much free speech.

All those preparing to vote in order to allow a Reform U.K. Ltd government in. You have been warned. #dictatorship

Repost please.

They lie and cheat to reach positions of power. What makes you think they're going to do anything different once they get there?

Send your message to the PM to #StopTheHate and Repost once you’re done. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/177398/...

The crowd today was a radicalised mass base of Reform and Tories. They’ve been radicalised by Farage, Johnson, Jenrick, Braverman, Truss and Badenoch. Naturally they were abusing our police, fighting and calling for the elected PM of this country to be assassinated. Disgusting. No one is safe.

Serious disorder on London today. Police dogs were bought in. Trashing London. Such patriots. 🤥

I argue it's a big mistake just to dismiss Reform's plans as unworkable because they're sketchy. The British constitution gives huge power to a majority government. Reform could do what they want but the costs to all of us would be huge.

Seen quite a few ‘legitimate concern’/hotel-shouters with flags and Crusader costumes stomping through London today. Difficult to spot the counter-protestors as they will be part of the huge multicultural majority… not wearing their raging inadequacy like a badge of pride. Stay safe.

Of course she does! The bossy woman had to go. 🙄

Thursday Obama quote.

Dear Keir Starmer Sack Glasman and McSweeney, quickly or people are going to be calling for you to go soon. They are right wing, vile amateurs.

There is a petition to make him do so. Spread it far and wide. It has around 10,000 signatures so far.Keep it up. chng.it/C2LBqdhQdx

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

FARAGE! Release your tax returns.

So either Nigel Farage lied about buying a house in Clacton, when he wanted to pretend he gave a shit about the place, or he lied about it being his girlfriend's house, when he was caught avoiding stamp duty. Either way he's a lying chancer.

Exactly this! #FarageTaxDodger

Right wing media now lining up to tell Labour to scrap the Employment Rights Bill. Because it’s unthinkable to the rich and powerful that greater respect for their workforce could improve productivity and wellbeing. ‘We can’t afford to not be able to treat you like shit’ isn’t persuasive to me.

Farage bought that house. He knows it, we know it.

Oh guess what?! Boris Johnson used the highest state in the land to enrich himself. Well knock me down with a feather!

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

People putting flags up in Britain to protest against immigration is exactly what they did in Nazi Germany. And all the time, Farage gets airtime to spout hate and division. Farage is a pound shop, Trump, but he is a dangerous agitator. He gets way too much airtime,and the gullible eat this rubbish

Former London’s Burning actor John Alford, 53, has been found guilty at St Albans Crown Court of sexually assaulting girls aged 14 and 15 at a friend’s home. Not trans. Not brown. Not Muslim. Not foreign.

"We are the patriotic party" says Nigel Farage, who just spent the past few days slagging off his own country to a foreign superpower, while encouraging them to impose sanctions on our economy if we don't do what they say
