The great Tory cleanse continues, the funny thing is Tory approval goes up and Reform’s goes down every time one of these swivel eyed loonies defects.

What ICE is doing on US streets looks terrifying, but don’t forget: it could happen anywhere | Nesrine Malik

Reform with a majority of MPs on less than 30% of the vote! You may hope that tactical voting etc will stop it happening but are we really prepared to take the risk? Wouldn’t you prefer seats to match votes? It’s time for electoral reform #PR

Morning, Liberals.

#OriginalRollCall #ORC Monday 19th January 2026 Let’s do this

Anonymous Tory MP in 2018: "If we try to cancel Brexit, we destroy ourselves. If we go ahead with it, we destroy the country." They did both. And now the culprits are running from the wreckage.

It’s by no means impossible that Reform could fall back somewhat in the polls and be overtaken by the Conservatives - at which point it will be fascinating/priceless to watch the response of all the defectors.

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

This is going to be 'interesting'. www.reuters.com/world/us/mik...

From the man who brought us Brexit - soo we really trust his judgement?

BREAKING: Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom:

🔴 Who Funds the Free Speech Union? Toby Young’s outfit has gone to court to stop publication of a list of its donors So we decided to take a dive into its funders Watch video with me and @writesbright.bsky.social 😀 youtu.be/oP0OGYhYyaA?...

A real shame if this photo went viral again today.

Farage is apparently 'under the weather' today and unable to talk about the US threats to the UK and Europe over Greenland. Which is unfortunate.

Such judgement

How's that going?

NATO, MI6 and the armed forces warn we’re already at war with Russia – barely noticed. A former Dutch defence chief says a US move on Greenland would cost America its European bases. Kemi Badenoch calls Greenland a “second order issue”. Pecksniff's Diary eastangliabylines.co.uk/pecksniff/pe...

[1/6] A reminder: Europe has cards to use against the US. Lots of them. To cite some examples: - Tighten screws on US digital giants (taxes, fines, even bans) - Export taxes disrupting US supply chains eg pharma - Exclude US firms from European procurement, inc defence ecfr.eu/publication/...

If you’re worried about Greenland, prepare to be much more worried. Please listen to this

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

These people have the integrity of a slug. They’ll hitch their wagon to whoever they think can get them back onto the Parliamentary gravy train. Zahawi clearly wants to heat his stables again.We must educate young people so generation after generation don’t keep falling for these wizards of sleaze

Sunday 18 January (2026 - for the terminally confused!) #OriginalRollCall #SORC Can't believe I'm the first - I'm happy to delete this if there are other threads which aren't showing up for me.

Europe is bigger and has more population than the US. Stop appeasing him. Build high tech and arms industries domestically. Make the US an irrelevance. news.sky.com/story/trump-...

Only the Supreme Court or Republicans in Congress can stop this insanity right now. Which pretty much means we’re fucked.

“That’s slavery.” Civil Rights lawyer @oliverma2026.bsky.social (running for CA Lt. Gov.) reminds us ICE detainees work in for-profit prisons for $1/day just to pay for phone calls to their families. Cruelty is big business. P.S. @CoreCivic’s new CEO’s last name is “Swindle” — beyond parody

The whole world is laughing at him - he is now just a big fat orange joke. Shallow as a drained swimming pool, and as thick as a brick.Sad 😂

Steve is feeling fabulous today!

Ah that's because Free Speech is only for bigots to say their disgusting views. It's not for anyone else, and certainly not for anyone scrutinising them or calling them out.

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Yes we have problems and challenges. But Britain is a great country. Don’t buy the populist Reform line that Britain is broken. They talk the country down because they want you to turn to them in desperation. Don’t buy it.

A selection of prize corruptions (A)

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Ah

if the Labour defector to Reform is Kate Hoey that would be the dampest squib ever

Imagine thinking the way to show voters that you’re different to a party you believe destroyed Britain is to import dozens of their current and former MPs. It’s so deeply stupid it’s hard to believe it’s actually happening.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

Aaaaaand we've updated the tracker www.bestforbritain.org/tory_reformu...

It's worth noting that while it may be tempting to despise all Tories equally after the destruction wrought by their 14 year reign of error, Reform are - whether deliberately or inadvertently - doing the heavy lifting of rehabilitating the Tory party by absorbing their most regressive elements.

Honest Bobby Jenrick will need to delete a few things...
