Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like a politician calling a by-election at public expense on the issue of whether or not he should have the right to secretly take donations from Thai-based crypto billionaires and a convicted fraudster

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

A #mural by Dutch #artist Judith de Leeuw shows the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes (in shame) in Roubaix, France (in 2025, just before July 4th). Judith de Leeuw, also known as JDL #StreetArt, creates #murals worldwide (41 countries) to draw attention to social issues. [email protected]

Over 40 economists write to leader of Unite the Union, rejecting her claim that Ed Miliband would destroy jobs if he becomes next UK chancellor "The net zero economy generates output worth over £100bn and employs over a million workers....these numbers will grow” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“A significant body of research by legal and rights experts has concluded that Israel is intent on destroying Palestinians…”

Israel deliberately targeting Gaza children to commit genocide, UN inquiry finds

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

The road to Gilead ….

Nigel Farage is a demagogue who has little regard for facts or the truth. Journalists covering him have no such excuse app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73749/...

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc The strategy has run out of road A 🧵 on what happens next.

It's OK everyone - no need to feel pure cold rage at this one. www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

At this point it's basically pathlogical. The site is once again being used to whip up race riots and people with responsibility for national security are on it merrily whistling away.

If you are still on X, you are willingly using a platform that has produced and distributed CSAM, whose owner has incited civil war in the UK and regularly promotes extremism. That's on you.

It's not unlike watching current coverage of net zero or the EU prior to 2016 or Boris Johnson's ascent to power or Liz Truss taking control of the Treasury or Donald Trump etc etc. The BBC should be a bulwark against obvious propaganda & demonstrable lies, not an 'impartial' chronicler of it...

They are all very deliberately ignoring the express wishes of Henry Nowak's family; the judge's sentencing report & the obvious, albeit brief, consequences of a crime being reported exclusively by a lying associate of the perpetrator. It may feel futile but this has to be repeated again & again.

The worst possible way to honour the memory of Henry Nowak, victim of a horrible murder and a grave misjudgement by the police, is to do what Nigel Farage appears to want: turn it into an excuse for racial conflict.

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.

So according to today’s RAJAR figures, that’s the most listened to speech programme in the history of UK commercial radio that you’ll be tuning in to on LBC at 10am. (Thank you, btw. Thank you so much.)

So Lee Anderson, who said Islamists have "got control" of Sadiq Khan, wants to close every food bank in the country, and is committed to bringing back the death penalty, has now been made Chairman of Reform UK

WARNING: There is a significant chance that you will die of cringe watching this video.

As far as possible, I've refrained from reposting stuff featuring images of certain cretins of the world who already receive wholly undeserved publicity, but this one is a *sound up* peach - Supertanskiii has, to some extent, rectified the wall-to-wall rectum problem.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

That’s like calling a cross-burning “a gathering of locals peacefully expressing their Southron identity.”

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

Lets send Nigel Farage a message in Makerfield that we’ve had enough of his bull****

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.

It's a heartwarming riches to riches tale for the TikTok generation

This story needs way more attention. Farage and his acolytes have repeatedly claimed his home was "firebombed", to justify the £5m secret donation given to the Reform leader by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne But the police report of the incident is a burglary. There's no record of arson

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

Simple but hugely impactful Banksy installation in Regent's Street. Make it permanent.

It really is. The uneducated are easier to govern. I found a quote from Tony Benn in 2007. But I'm sure others have said it before. It's what keeps the rich in their mega yachts & the poor grateful to have a job cleaning them🙄

MARK KELLY: Do you stand by your statement of 'no mercy, no quarter'? HEGSETH: We have untied the hands of our warfighters. We fight to win and we follow the law KELLY: Okay, so you're not clarifying your statement

Supplying drones to Ukraine now includes production in Suffolk. Russia has taken notice – and published a list of “targets”. @eastangliabylines.co.uk With thanks to @ipswichnews.bsky.social

Are all those Brexit voters now going to take all our councils into reform chaos?

This is what Farage wants to bring to the UK.

More than 150 violent offenders granted taxi licences in Midlands city last year

Weird bbc

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry

Can’t wait for JD Vance to campaign for Reform in the UK. How about next week? Is next week good for you?

I’m just so glad about how happy he’ll be and how sad they’ll be tonight.
