Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all. And now Farage could be PM ffs. Mindblowing self-inflicted idiocy

Yesterday in Parliament I said that the government should leave X.

Three of the four panelists on GB News have the audacity to suggest that BBC News is not trustworthy "It's a bit too bias" "BBC News deserves all the criticism it gets" "They're doing things that need scrutinising and they don't like it"

I needed to hear some good news today www.bbc.com/news/article...

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump. Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Even I thought this was one of mine!

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country. It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

Which one is more English?

It’s the Nigel Farage chameleon show – flashy, ever-changing pledges, but only one real policy: xenophobia | Polly Toynbee

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed. He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

No political party should tolerate racism - which is why I’ve signed a huge petition to suspend the Reform Party’s Sarah Pochin MP for her racist comments - add your name now: 38d.gs/fodu

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP. And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

When is that racist Pochin getting sacked? #sarahpochin

Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin is now ‘apologising’ for her comments. Someone tell her racism is still racism even if ‘phrased poorly’. This is a non-apology. Sounds very much like she’s still saying that citizens who are not white are less ‘British’ in her eyes. Reform letting its mask slip further.

Gonna be honest here and say as a journalist working in Westminster this makes me want to cry My grandparents had to deal with this crap and now we are, it’s so wrong How are we here where politicians feel so emboldened to say things that are so obviously racist?

If Pochin doesn't lose the whip - and she should - then Farage's party will be happy to have a racist on its benches. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Was she mad at robots advertising Smash? Of course not. She's a racist.

I've just had coffee with a Caribbean friend, Monday I'm having my hair cut by a Chinese hairdresser, and Friday I've got an appointment with my Polish doctor. They're all hardworking, lovely people who make a real contribution to our society. Unlike Sarah Pochin.

MPs have a duty to represent the interests of all their constituents, not just the white ones. Sarah Pochin is a disgrace.

That's racism. Plain and simple. No other word for it. It's shocking beyond belief that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable.

Reform have thrown everything at this by-election in Caerphilly. Nigel Farage has been up multiple times including today. You can see that Reform were expecting a big party this evening. This is a huge blow to them if they have lost.

Nigel Farage was everywhere in Caerphilly today. He now appears to have vanished.

What a photo.

Waking up to Reform not winning in Wales is like waking up from a very pleasant dream. Reasons to be hopeful 🙏 #Caerphilly

Spare a thought for Reform fan Chris Mason. He believed the glib, easy soundbites of Farage and Co reflect the party's huge popularity. Thankfully, the voters of Caerphilly are more sophisticated than him.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings

The polls are lying to us. 10 elections this week. 7 wins LibDems. 1 win Reform by a whisker.

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Green Party's Zack Polanski to Reform UK's Zia Yusuf, "Do you ever think that immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?"

After pointing out that she's an immigrant Joanna Lumley asks why we don't fix the problems that create asylum seekers and address climate change

This is your vote, your choice. You the members choose your Deputy Leader. Having this conversation is not dissent, but an important conversation about how we can be better. I will be your strong independent voice.

🚨 New YouGov poll: In a head-to-head, Brits pick Starmer over Farage for PM by 45% to 33%. Despite Reform’s rise in vote shares, far more voters still prefer a Starmer premiership. #ukpolitics 🔗 labourlist.org/2025/09/excl...

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

Hugged a self-described racist jailed for inciting racial hatred at his party conference. Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated. Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line! "If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

@rahilsheikh.bsky.social thank you for tonight’s Panorama. And for shining a balanced light on the asylum issues 🙏

Farage is applying for a job. That job is Prime Minister. The only thing on his CV is Brexit. He campaigned for it for 27 years. So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS. If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION YET? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I wonder what attracted him to a party led by a massive Putin fan… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I just love Channel 4 News. Always have. Always will. The only news programme to dare to ask the hard questions. Much needed. @channel4news.bsky.social

My plan to grab the political microphone back. Farage has had it for too long 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I really hope the Starmer speech on patriotic renewal is better than this summary of it, which basically argues that New Labour and the Tories let in too many immigrsnts but this one is going to give you a youth club instead so please don’t vote Reform www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f9444c6...
