The BBC’s coverage of Conservative allegations of dishonesty against Rachel Reeves shows how its political coverage is still led by the right-wing press, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/12/01/r...

We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Gullis to Reform UK. I had to calm down Lee Anderson, who was concerned that he may no longer be the thickest twat in the party.

This has got to be one of Gavin Newsom's best...

2014: “I admire Putin as an operator” 2010-14: Appeared on Russia today 17 times 2017: Knighted by a 7 year old girl on RT 2022: blames EU for Russian invasion 2024: “We provoked this war … of course it’s his fault – he’s used what we’ve done as an excuse” Is this not dodgy?

How the right-wing newspapers still manage to dictate BBC coverage. Almost all of the Beeb's big post-Budget interview with the Chancellor devoted to asking whether she is a liar. Next to nothing on any of the big measures announced this week www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

Viral social media posts have made a number of claims about how pension contributions are saved and spent. But their sums are wrong, and they misunderstand how the state pension works.

It’s my birthday! Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants. Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle. Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳

Oi you, person of Christian values… “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself” Leviticus 19:33–34 Still feeling holy?

When your past finally catches up, what do you do? What do you do? When the record shows you voted against every measure meant to help working people—what do you do? What do you do? When stories about your ties to Russia won’t disappear, what do you do? What do you do?🤨👇

Coincidence corner: Nigel Farage and crypto. From the new Private Eye, out now.

Although you'd be forgiven for having missed it - yesterday's budget confirmed it: private partnerships are back to fund NHS projects.🚨 So who DID ask for PFI to come back? While 69 NHS trusts still owe £21bn on old PFI contracts? 👉 everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...

💷 In the last 5 years, NHS trusts spent £3.1bn through PFI contracts:£1.2bn in debt + £1.8bn in interest. That £1.8bn could fund 50,000 new doctors’ starting salaries, or cover £2.7bn in urgent NHS repairs. 💔 Every pound spent on PFI debt is a pound not spent on NHS, staff or patients.

‘The clip, which appeared on live television, shows the President of the United States snapping at a female reporter “Quiet, Piggy!”’ From the new Private Eye, out now.

The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview. He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997. Farage would have been about 33 at time. www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

"We are freezing known Russian assets" says Rachel Reeves "But let me be clear, I don't actually mean the member for Clacton"

🚨 Financier’s £8.5m flat frozen amid tax investigation over PPE deal Horlick ‘bought an £8.5m London flat after supplying 50m faulty PPE masks during pandemic has had a criminal restraint order imposed on the property’ 💥 (Of course it was a VIP Lane deal 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️) www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/art...

Farage maintains he has only ever been racist in a respectful way.

‘I can categorically say that stories being told about me from 50 years ago are not true’ - a statement from Nigel Farage tonight on claims he racially abused fellow school pupils That firm denial tonight is different to what he said in interview with BBC Wales Political Editor Gareth Lewis 👇

So the line is that he wasn't getting paid for any of this

Footage shared on social media claims to show migrants stealing items from a graveyard in the UK. This is false—the video actually shows a cemetery in Ukraine. It is unclear what the people are doing by the graves, however.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Ah yes, collapsing the economy, your one area of expertise. Do tell us about the time you knocked £30bn off the stock market and trebled everyone's mortgage.

Reform in Lancashire threatens closing five day centres and five care homes, with “reprovision” forcing disabled or older adults (including a 106-year-old) into alternative support.  🧵1/3

Hi @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social more on Michael Gove and the VIP Lane here ⤵️

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English. Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’. The messages were deleted after questions were raised by Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.” Farage - the foghorn of failure. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during a mass stabbing on a train has been named as Samir Zitouni. The 48-year-old's actions on the Doncaster to London King's Cross service on Saturday evening were described as "nothing short of heroic

And by "our borders" I assume you mean in Dubai, the country you live in.

In my own way, I try to be an evangelist for the #art of #caricature. If anyone has any questions about what I do - whether in commissioned paintings, or in designing puppets for Spitting Image - I'd be delighted to answer them. Reposts appreciated!

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP. Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people ...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business" It's £10ph FFS! Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Spread far & wide. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Bollocks - this ended on 3 January and was a temporary scheme funded from their surplus, not by taxpayers. Stop making things up you divisive shit-stirring prick.

Who better to complain about wasting money than the MP who claimed £30,000 from taxpayers for renting a flat while her husband owned one just a few minutes away?

Bullshitter in chief, Richard Tice, trying to claim credit for finding 'ghost' taxi fraud at Kent, which was reported in March 2025, two months before Reform took over. All he has is lies, because DOGE have done fuck all.

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that

💔 Imagine a hospital built for your community, yet year after year, millions meant for care are going to a private company. That’s what’s happening at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital — one of the UK’s largest PFI projects. 👀 the full cost of PFI: everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...
