I do hope Farage has a cold sweat breaking out

Every attempt to block, redact or politicise the Epstein files is a confession. #bbcnews #skynews

THAT DAY, this day in 2023, when #GBNEWS ... SLAMMED Mick Lynch for NOT WEARING A POPPY !!! By posting an image of him taken ... in July.

New Reform MP and former Tory Danny Kruger says the police in England and Wales would lose ‘operational independence’ and be put under the control of any Reform government. This is how MAGA fascism creeps in.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress. He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

BREAKING: Convicted sex trafficker who taught young girls how to blow old men says sole person on earth who can pardon her did nothing wrong.

Another deeply concerning allegation, the latest in a long line of apparent commercial and political lobbying against protest movements, some of which has led to the extremely repressive legislation we now face. Powerful lobbyists are the bane of democracy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

‘How the Media is Cashing in on the Rise of Nigel Farage’ News organisations are failing the country at the moment when responsible independent journalism is most needed, argues Mathilda Mallinson bylinetimes.com/2025/05/30/r...

I see Farage is back from his holiday? Couldn’t face the EU deal questions? Fishing industry no longer a political bandwagon? Now he’s Mr working class socialist? Come on media??? Expose this conman and stop drinking his snake oil.

Watching junk tanks & liars complaining that their brexit lies are unravelling. "They're betraying brexit!". Brexit was the betrayal, sold to idiots by liars living in tax havens. #BBCNews #SkyNews

People are talking about his Pope trolling and Alcatraz, rather than the billion dollar corruption scheme.

Yesterday Farage proudly told broadcasters that Reform UK Ltd is now the official opposition. Clearly bollocks, like most of what he says, but sounds dramatic. Today #SkyNews are reporting his words every half hour on their 24 hour rolling news coverage. This is how it works.

These local council wins will hopefully be the end for Reform Party Ltd. They've no clue what to do, it's all soundbites and hate mongering and that won't help keep services running, let's hope the media start doing their job properly.

John Curtice notes on Today that mayoral races could be won with as little as 25% of the vote. But it's worse than that: if turnout in (eg) the West of England race is the same as in 2001 - 36% - a party might win with 9% of eligible votes. First Past the Post is an absurdity in these conditions.

Thinking of Reform UK because you want change? You'll get change alright - straight into the gutter. They're snake-oil salesmen peddling brain-dead slogans, dragging a wrecking ball of chaos behind them. You'll pay the price - and so will the whole country. 👇 centralbylines.co.uk/politics/thi...

There were 4 council by-elections yesterday. Reform UK won 0. That makes 240 council by-elections since the General Election, with just 14 seats won by Reform UK. So yeah, the country’s pretty much ignoring him - no matter how hard you lot in the media try to hype him up, journo cvnts. #ukpolitics

I’m offering up 3 signed copies of Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch (co-written with @gabriellekent.bsky.social) in an auction raising money for trans rights in the UK and SA. You can bid for them here. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Tory legacy. In England 48,830 A&E patients waited 24 hours or more for a hospital bed, 33,413 aged 65 or over. Some went 10 days to get bed in a ward. People deserve care and dignity. Must expand NHS capacity. Privatisation won't. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profit, money buys less.

Starmer told UK must repeal hate speech laws to protect LGBT+ people or lose Trump trade deal. Plus sacrifice the NHS, food and environmental standards, worker rights. Who governs? No thank you. Don't want to be the 51st state, or US slaves. Better to join the EU and Single Market.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

Watching the celebs being shot into space in Bezos' giant robotic cock reminds me of the Golgafrinchams. They'd arrive on a distant planet & start taking selfies until they ran out of food. #BBCNews #SkyNews #HHGTTG

Nigel Farage, "At least Trump is trying for peace, " suggesting that Ukraine should cede Crimea to the Russians No mention of Russia withdrawing from it's invasion of Ukraine which of course is the easiest and fastest way to end the war

Given that a trade war between China & the US will inflict damage on both countries does the question become which party is more vulnerable to public backlash, the Republican Party or the Chinese Communist Party? I think the answer's pretty obvious. #SkyNews #BBCNews

We must support trade unionists around the world, encourage people to join a union, and educate ourselves about global labour struggles. @labourstart.bsky.social web-site is an excellent resource, please follow and support them. #Resisters #Unions 🧵1/3 www.labourstart.org/news/index20...

Yes, Trump's tariffs will hurt US consumers in the short term, but, you should focus on the long term, where it will also hurt them.

Brexit has never looked quite so ruinously insane as it does right now. And it’s always been idiotic. Alone, outside the EU, needing to improve our relationship with our own continent but also terrified of the wrecking-ball lunatic in the White House. Cornered by our own ‘sovereign’ stupidity.

I'll await reports on whatever Trump has to announce. If I never have to listen to his joyless, droning, lying, moronic voice again it'll be too soon. #BBCNews #SkyNews

Relatives in the US just told me they're moving back to Blighty. Sister, a nurse; BIL a PHD computer scientist; 2 kids born & raised there, college degrees. 30 happy years in Colorado & they say they no longer feel welcome, secure or entitled to their own opinions. Well done MAGA. #BBCNews #SkyNews

If (when?) the US & Europe are left gutted by oligarchs with their jackbooted suppporters marching around the smoking ruins our news media will interview Farage, in his bunker, telling us how beautiful it is. For balance. #BBCNews #Skynews #C4News

April fools day is going to be a challenge this year.

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Accurate. #BBCNews #SkyNews

Going after individual judges, attorneys and law firms is not enough. Impeachments and Executive Orders are not enough. They are now thinking about abolishing and defunding the courts themselves. They want nothing other than unchecked state coercive brute power. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

So tired of listening to, or commenting on, the Trump admin's constant, stream of consciousness, bullshit. I'm going to try to focus on what's actually happening & not get sucked into the drama unless/ until it has real world implications. It's exhausting & I'm pretty sure that's the point. #BBCNews

The core argument here is unanswerable. For liberal democratic countries, buying American weapons is a security risk. It must be avoided at all costs.

In which @miafarrow.bsky.social is absolutely spot-on about law and policy.
