Hungary’s PM Péter Magyar has ordered his government to summon the Russian ambassador in response to Russia’s drone attack on western Ukraine which hit ethnic Hungarian regions today. Foreign Minister Anita Orbán will deliver Hungary’s condemnation tomorrow.

Farage received a £5Million bribe to stand for parliament in Clacton so that a crypto billionaire would personally benefit from him being in power. And Farage didn’t declare it. Then he lied about it. Corrupt AF. Just go straight to a criminal investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fun. Fearless. Feisty. Katie Hopkins. Who says what everyone else is thinking. Who says it "like it is." Who never apologises. Who... oh dear..

Reform has suspended a Sheffield councillor, elected May 7th, over images of swastikas & Mein Kampf reported by the Sheffield Star. The Times had reported antisemitic comments by this candidate on Aprl 22nd but the party did not act pre-election www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are being reminded that a fundamental issue of our day isn’t simply the size of the government — it’s who our government actually works for. Kudos to Mayor Mamdani for reminding us that government can (and should) work for the people.

Somebody should set up a Beth Rigbybot acc that just screeches "PRIME MINISTER!!?" at random times throughout the day

Missed this one during the UK elections so h/t to Lewis Goodall. Great Yarmouth is now the most Far Right place in the UK if you’re looking for a holiday resort not to visit. ⚫️ Res: 46% (+46)* ➡️ Ref: 20% (+20) 🔵 Con: 12% (-47) 🟢 Grn: 11% (+3) 🔴 Lab: 9% (-19) 🟠 Lib: 3% (-) 1/2

Appalling decision, imo @ukhsa.bsky.social "Keeping an eye in case people become unwell" & trusting them to self isolate for about 7 weeks?, also, pretty sure "asymptomatic" is irrelevant And if that doesn't work? Whoops, we seem to have slipped into another epi/pandemic

Get in Celtic!!!!!

Starmer dropkicks Badenough in the commons. Humour in adversity. And he has quite the way with a punchline.

Habib has alleged that: In 2019, Thailand-based crypto billionaire Harborne paid £1 million each to Farage and Johnson. The purpose was to rig the 2019 general election: Farage allegedly agreed to stand down Brexit Party candidates in 317 Tory-held seats, Johnson then secured an 80-seat majority.

Ah! The Cunt of Mostly Crypto!

Incidentally, I think pretty much any option is better than Starmer. The current path is doom. And any leadership race will naturally push candidates towards more progressive positions on Europe and immigration.

A remarkable speech from Naz Shah opening the King's Speech debate: "Someone like me who spent her formative years fighting a campaign to release her mother from prison, who did not have a formal education beyond 12... forced into a marriage at 15... attempting suicide... Yet, here I stand."

This speech is a testament to what diversity brings to our public life. It's both just in principle and better for policy that someone with Naz Shah’s background and lived experience is represented in Parliament. That should be celebrated and strengthened, not demonised.

That Wes Streeting leadership bid in full:

The Conservative party’s “Alternative King’s Speech” claims unemployment has risen “every month” that Labour have been in government. We’ve fact checked this claim several times over the past year—it isn’t correct.

Full on xenophobic woman just called into @lbc.co.uk - expressing bigoted opinions that simply would not have been acceptable 15 years ago.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

To be honest I'll say NO to anything that might involve financial transparency or that doesn't involve giving me £5 million.

Ok, call me bitter and twisted but I sincerely and fervently hope that Nige’s luck finally runs out with this. Beginning of the end please. Swiftly followed by the actual end.

This is why they really hate him — because he’s showing government can actually do good stuff for regular people

One could say with confidence that Farage and his supporters engineered Brexit, all with the power of foreign investors.

A huge announcement in the King's Speech - what a pity it’s getting little media attention due to all the reporting on a possible leadership challenge. The government have pledged to introduce a new bill to abolish right-to-buy for new social homes.

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

Badenoch again threatens to leave the ECHR, which would rip up the Good Friday Agreement, not to mention the Brexit deal (meaning immediate no deal with our largest market) and leave us all extremely vulnerable to authoritarian abuse of our rights. She and Farage want to make us poorer & less safe

"A rotten candidate for a rotten borough ".....

Standards watchdog launches probe into £5m Farage gift. Good luck justifying this Nige www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

European nations should offer to help on the condition that Trump fires Vance, appoints a Democrat to VP, and then resigns.

One way to re-energise the Labour party would be if one of the leadership candidates came out for actively rejoining the EU.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

"Doubling down on policies that mimic the logic of the far right will not restore public confidence, rebuild communities or defeat Reform." @minnierahman.bsky.social reflects on the local election results in @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/labo...

Important news. I asked four senior Reform people on last week’s election night programme if Mr Farage would provide the receipts to show that the £5m Harborne gift had only been used solely for security. The reply, from all four, was that it wasn’t necessary.

Nigel Farage said he was under "no obligation" to declare a £5m donation when he became an MP – but is now being investigated by the House of Commons over the gift from a crypto billionaire. So, who is funding Nigel Farage? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/whos...

Sources report that Chris Mason is, officially, 'gutted'."

Presumably, all Farage has to do is provide the receipts for his security bill and apologise to us all for not declaring the £5 million. Shouldn't be a problem and as leader of a major party I'm sure he'll be absolutely delighted to clear up any misunderstanding.

Stop it, I can only get so erect!

NEW: A second investigation into Nigel Farage could be on the cards - I'm told the Electoral Commission has told the Tories they are still looking at their complaint and will come back by the end of this week.

Farage=Trump

Good

BREAKING - Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will launch an investigation into Farage's £5m donation.

Fact check - Farage is a liar. 1. No evidence of hacking on his computer or accounts. 2. No evidence of arson, attempted arson or a suspicious fire at his home. 3. No evidence he faced a higher level of threat than other MP’s. All his claims are false! #NeverVoteReform

'Subhuman underclass' - new Sheffield Reform councillor's social media post revealed www.thestar.co.uk/news/politic...

The media is ‘maybe’ a little bit biased!

Well done to the Birmingham councillors who refused to join a coalition with Reform. The party say they aren't prepared to do deals with others. So it is absolutely fine to reciprocate. There is no requirement to co-operate with the far right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
