“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

Is that £9million… Russian money?

Finally someone says it.

Only our 5th Golden Ticket ever Little Birdie is a very old girl and she can no longer control her bladder. She doesn't belong on the streets

Couldn’t really be more starkly apparent that the choice is now Billionaires or Democracy, IMO. We can have one or the other but not both, as this system is currently constituted.

Audience boos Reform UK's Muhammad Zia Yusuf as he rudely and arrogantly responds to a question from the audience #BBCQT

It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex. He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him. A Trumpian drip.

Claims he's a defender of free speech but can't abide being questioned

Sophy Ridge, "The biggest ever donation to a single political party, to Reform UK" "£9,000,000" Anyone care to guess what the donor expects in return?

"I should just point out that this will be the 4th appearance since September for unelected gobshite Zia Yusuf"

Farage has now boycotted the BBC - THREE times - in a little over a year... Including his latest today. Why, therefore, is Zia Yusuf on ##bbcqt tonight?

Nigel Farage at a press conference earlier refused to answer further questions about his racism, and instead resorted to just shouting "Bernard Manning" at a reporter from ITV

No wonder Reform had a slew of full page ads in most major newspapers recently. (There are no spending limits outside of election periods.) x.com/steven_swinf...

Some very special news today for little Stormzy. Look at him just after getting the news. Bouncing!!!

Farage has been dismissing evidence of Russian ties to the Salisbury Novichok attack since 2018 🧐

Farage banging 🇷🇺 Putin’s drum for him again. I’d missed this one regarding Russia’s novichok attack on British soil that killed a British woman. How can anyone who considers themselves patriotic vote for him or his party?

Zia Yusuf - the unelected multimillionaire policy chief of Reform - makes his fourth Question Time appearance tonight. The party has five MPs

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

Daily Mail owner’s wife donates £50,000 to Reform UK Nothing to see here... www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/dai...

If they both exist and like him, they will doubtless come forward to explain how they know what he was up to even when he was nowhere near them.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

The point is THEY CANCELLED IT Nigel... FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO.... remember mate this is the sort of stuff you get angry about...

Nigel Farage. The man who's spent 20 years attacking the politically correct "woke" BBC now attacking it for... checks notes ... "showing the Black and White Minstrel Show in the 1970s". Always good to be consistent Nigel.

You'll be amazed to discover that a bunch of anonymous people that Nigel Farage says definitely do exist, have confirmed that he didn't say any of the things that lots of other people say on the record that he absolutely did

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says: "The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order." That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories. How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

The Reform-led Durham County Council cabinet has voted to raise council taxes for some of the most vulnerable people in the county.

A fine message for the Christmas season.

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X. Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’ It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.

Germany looked like it was winning the war in the spring of 1918. But its offensive was unsustainable, and the Allies held their nerve and won. Russia has thrown everything at Ukraine, and the financial and emotional strain, as well as all those losses, must surely be at breaking point. Surely...

Next time Reform claim to be something different, remember this.

What?

“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Carpenter said in a post on X.

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

"In the ashes of war... Europe pulled together to create collaborative bodies designed to prevent a repeat of the horrors of Nazi Germany. One such body was the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)."

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

London stations reporting 11C at 10pm not really appropriate in December and a mild breezy south wind. Winds easing overnight.

“we must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal we have has significantly hurt our economy” Keir Starmer

this, but for Jonathan Gullis defecting to Reform

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong." Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit. He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

Ludwig Minelli, 92, died yesterday, before his 93rd birthday “I am persuaded that we have to struggle in order to implement the last human right in our societies. The last human right is the right to make a decision on one's own end, & the possibility to have this end without risk & without pain."

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit. Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-4.

The Chinese auto giant is serious about extending its fast-charging lead all over the world, and Europe could experience it soon. insideevs.com/news/780361/...

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more. This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich. This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.
