Don’t know who needs to hear this but “taking back control” from a Union you’re a member of, with full voting rights, to hand it to an American lunatic you bent over backwards to flatter yet he publicly humiliates you, is not taking back control at all, it’s relinquishing it.

It’s the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote next year. Time, I think, to stop asking if leaving was a mistake and to start asking whether now trying* to join the EU is in the best interests of the country. *This is to ward off people telling me accession is up to the current member states; I know.

Conditions in Moldova are almost a carbon copy of the Donbas in 2014. Easily set up for Russian subversion followed by direct intervention. It's a spring-loaded trap that may begin to snap quite soon.

This by @writesbright.bsky.social is a succinct assessment of Farage. He’s not a leader. He has no loyalty to his team and, eventually, when they realise, he’ll receive none in return. writesbright.substack.com/p/farages-to...

Reform UK Review 2025 Reform UK’s assumed Mayoral Candidate Ant Middleton is revealed to have taken out a £2.7million director's loan before his company went bust owing £1,199,773 in tax to HMRC. He is banned from being a director.

If anyone should be heavily taxed it’s those who promoted the Brexit campaign.

It doesn’t. That’s the problem.

This festive season spare a thought for those who are locked up for taking bribes from the world leader I admire most.

I love the fact that pretty much the only group of Leavers who actually got the benefit they wanted out of Brexit are the one third of ethnic minorities who voted Leave because they wanted more Commonwealth migration.

Remember all the fuss when Farage was ‘de-banked’ by Coutts? Night after night on the news, little Nigel throwing tantrums about being kicked out of a posh bank. This judge has been locked out of banking simply for a court decision Trump didn’t like. Has it made the news? Nah!

The BBC is really showing its arse with its editorial guidelines recommending the use of a pseudoscientific dogwhistle in reporting that mentions trans people. It's important that they're not allowed to continue using fake-scientific insults in peace. New piece: oolong.medium.com/biological-m...

🔴The Five Questions Nigel Farage is Never Asked About Brexit, Trump and Russia bylinetimes.com/2024/06/19/t...

Carol of the Bells….

My dad must be drunk, he’s messaged my brother and admitted he’d been wrong about Brexit and regrets voting for it. It’s a Christmas miracle.

All those Irish people nicked for speeding will be straight on the boat from Holyhead.

To be fair, there have been at least four iterations of the Tory Party where the version of Sir John Hayes was Sir John Hayes.

Thank God I’m not spending Christmas with a mean-spirited little man like John Hayes.

Give it a few years and Reform voters will be the ones most likely to need those care homes.

Lib Dems call for inquiry into hostile foreign state interference to include US

Don't mess with Sen. Mark Kelly and expect him to take it lying down.

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply. It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall. 🧵1/13

Calls for Reform UK to sack mayoral candidate after telling the deputy PM to "go home" to the Caribbean

Who’d have thunked it: US signs a trade deal with UK, whole areas left gray. Then later in trying to flesh out the gray bits Trump comes back for more. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Scotland's new Reform UK councillor left police after criminal charges

The army would have exposed him. This is the army Mr Trump When sergeant shouts you’d better jump We’ve got some hard stuff for you in store So you won’t play the tough guy no more

Even the replies from the cultists on Truth Social are overwhelmingly negative about Trump’s Reiner post. Of course, as usual, some are blaming his advisers for it - like this one blaming Susie Wiles.

This is both disgusting and expected. The Scumbag-in-Chief

The ‘what Nigel said at school’ line was never going to work. Most of his supporters don’t care and a lot of them said similar things themselves.

Remember how they said we needed Brexit to save our fishing fleet? The number of fishing boats operating out of Hastings has decreased from 60 in 2016 to 16 today. Brilliant!

🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid. A pissed off thread using data. Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

The Tory Party is cleansing itself, with all the nutters being gradually kettled in the Farage Party. At least I like to see it that way.

Fartrage says he didn't wear a mask in 2020 – and he won't wear one now. Yet another reason not to be on the same planet with him. Well, he obviously lied about 2020, and he's been lying ever since.

OUTRAGED minority still can’t cope with the idea that Brexit was tried, tested… and failed. 🤦‍♂️ 📊 Polling: • 5 million Leave voters passed • Youth voters back Rejoin • 1/3 of Leave now wants back in 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺Britain is pro-EU. ❌ The only people still keeping Brexit alive are the ones making money off it.

Former Tory MP Ben Bradley has now defected to Reform. They really are taking all the worst people from the Boris era.

The Right Honourable The Lord Offord of Turncoat-Garvel, financier, never elected, made a life peer for services to donating money to the Conservative Party. Reform UK think he will make a great leader in Scotland. That tells you all you need to know about the ‘anti-establishment party’.

I have decided to open a booth at the Calgary International Airport, selling old burner phones with Pro-MAGA social media accounts. $200 will get you an iPhone7 with a Facebook page called MAGABob52, full of election conspiracies, racist posts about immigrants, and links to Benny Johnson tweets.

Morning.

Sad thing is, we didn't NEED to be on this. https://brilliantmaps.com/who-wants-to-join-eu-the-most/

Farage's memory being 'fluid' again.

Just put yourself in her shoes.

Well Polanski said he wanted to be a ‘green populist’ - a leftie Farage. Farage is the biggest snob out there. He has nothing but contempt for the people who vote for him. Populists are snobs. Populism is all about manipulating people. www.standard.co.uk/comment/uma-...

And that's just the UK. There are massive US bases ALL OVER the EU that America uses to refuel and rearm missions to everywhere east of the Greenwich Meridian.
