I’m at a Tory fringe event about young voters which has been shown a massive (5,000+) poll of voters aged 16-40 - and it’s (not unexpectedly) very bad news for the Conservatives.

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride's big speech. #ToryPartyDeath

I do think the media is giving too much attention to the possibility of Farage winning an election that's nearly four years away. I also think it's underplaying the extremely high possibility that, even if he does, he immediately drowns in the same mire that swallowed Starmer and Sunak before him

I’m sorry no I can’t be the Prime Minister of France today. It’s my turn to be one of the Sugababes.

So after promising to cut "wasteful spending" and council tax Reform has: - Found no waste and instead plans to cut invest-to-save schemes - Will now raise council tax by the full 5% - Realised they don't control asylum spending A staggering amount of failure in 5 months

French governmental churn rate currently making Liz Truss look like Tony Blair

Well well well

Meghan Derangement Syndrome. Looking for every reason to hate her. Making up reasons!

I’d really like the LABOUR Home Secretary to say she is opposed to ‘mass deportations’

I just have no idea who the Tories think the audience is for full bore authoritarianism plus austerity. Very few who want the former want the latter.

Political reporters continue to cover the centre-left according to the old standards of honesty and legality while shrugging at the right: "Ah well, you know what these guys are like. What can you do?"

And Kemi Badenoch thought, oooo yes please, lets have some of that

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Extraordinary. How far down the X rabbit hole does Kemi have to be, to look at Trump’s ICE and think: yes! Masked goons raiding schools and hospitals! People would love that here!

Quite. I expect headlines like this will be on every LD leaflet in S England seats - how can the Tories not realise that mass deportation is not a popular policy, even with migration sceptics?

"I see gangs of masked thugs roaming the streets rounding up anyone the wrong colour, and I think: *this* is what Britain needs."

Scary to see just how effective ReformUK’s social media game is www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

CON: 12% (-4)

"Milei is amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing. That's leadership" - Nigel Farage Milei would be the "template" for my government - Kemi Badenoch

Fucking hell - I hadn't seen this.

MPs are supposed to report potential conflicts of interest between their official duties and private financial affairs. These are rules, not discretionary gestures towards openness.

Exclusive: Nigel Farage has not updated his register since May, despite continuing to present his GB News show, record Cameo videos and being a verified X user Qus are now being asked about the non-registration of his shareholding in GB parent co All Perspectives observer.co.uk/news/politic...

There’s one way to solve that…

A BBC spokesperson told @politicshome.bsky.social this week’s Have I Got News for You “contained an inaccurate story” about Euan Blair’s firm being linked with digital ID cards PoliticsHome understands the government plans to step up comms on the ID scheme to counter misinformation

If you claim there is no difference between this government and one run by the right, you are a deeply unserious person wallowing in privilege and/or blinded by complacency.

Games Workshop and Warhammer 40K are also worth significantly more to the British economy than fishing But we got years of rhetoric about "British fish for British trawlers" instead of "space marines for the single market"

In her lunch with the FT the OnlyFans CEO says her company pays more tax than the entire British fishing industry. Quite a stat.

Why does everything have to be a thing

Have I Got News For You reported the Euan Blair conspiracy theory as fact tonight so I hope Hat Trick have good libel lawyers

I imagine if this hasn’t been a segment on Good Morning Britain yet, then it won’t be long before it is

Jaw-dropping error – and not just a throwaway quip but part of the script. Someone is getting a massive telling-off for this. (I bet it will be chopped out of the iPlayer edit too.) Here‘s how the digital ID system will actually work: takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/how-the-uk...

Tommy Robinson posted a neo-Nazi blog that accused me and my fellow Jews Jack Straw and Barbara Roche of conspiring to flood the UK with immigrants.

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

This is horrific

So interesting that GB News is sticking with female archbishop story longer than BBC/Sky, going through her tweets live on air, starting to cancel her for being woke. They keep talking about the Christian public taking it badly, fits with the growing US-style religious vibe of the British right?

Well it’s not everyday you get to say, the Archbishop of Canterbury lives in my village

Richard Tice has made up a fake quote from the PM to claim he incited violence against his political opponents. It was not sufficiently challenged in the Sky News interview that he did not say it, because the interviewer didn't have the text. Ofcom should rule uk.news.yahoo.com/no-keir-star...

Yes, that’ll do it

I wonder if Andrea Jenkyns is even dimly aware that the language she is using there is deeply, deeply problematic.

Conference attendee posts that this misinformation even spread to taxi drivers in Liverpool This has very, very real consequences!!!

The Albanian Prime Minister picked up on the theme of "ending the war between 'Aber-Baijan' and Albania." Edi Rama joked while greeting French President Emmanuel Macron and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

Here's Farage saying that he would 'pick up a rifle' - www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

My wife is supposed to be doing synagogue security duty on Saturday. It's terrifying.

just became easier for the Lib Dems to hold on to their new Home Counties seats

I've just discovered that the @theguardian.com has now got a entire team to write NIMBY articles. Explains a lot. I assume they'll be covering the wider effects of NIMBYism; climate catastrophe, housing crisis, collapsing infrastructure in the same way?

This confirms just how far the Tory Party has fallen. This reckless anti-science stance is a clear risk to jobs, investment and future generations.
