‘Who said he’s as honest as the day is long?’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social poses a question about Reform’s ex-leader in Wales, who admitted making pro-Russian statements to the EU Parliament for cash.

this just in: UKGov has developed a new "Patriotism Meter" which can and must be plugged directly into people's brains via the new ID card, and is completely accurate because, reasons.. Anyone whose Patriotism Reading is less than 112% will be deported with extreme prejudice. harsh but fair.😎

I don't want Starmer's Brit Card. I am not now and have never been British. I'm Scottish and European, not part of Starmer's flag obsessed British nationalist Greater England. Take yer Brit card and ram it.

"The Scottish Government said the investment targets areas that have provided energy security through oil and gas for generations, and hopes the funding will ensure the communities built around them remain at the centre of Scotland's energy future." www.thenational.scot/news/2550091...

Scottish Sunday Herald: "NHS Scotland hospitals are dying in front of our eyes." lies. NHS Scotland are performing better than NHS England, waiting times shorter etc Sunday Times Scotland: " Scotland backs deportation of illegal immigrants" lies. the elected SNP ScotGov is against this.

This is from a couple of years back but @mrjamesob.bsky.social nails it 💯, and his point is even more valid after Starmer’s announcement yesterday that he will refuse us a referendum.

Very well put. Worth a share or two. m.youtube.com/watch?v=MclD...

If this isn't Trump openly stating that he is a Tyrant, a Dictator, then what is it? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🚨TRUMP IS SET TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW 🚨 - Hegseth’s party of all the military, no independent reporting on Pentagon allowed - Already have Natl Guard in cities vs civilians for fake crime - ICE madness - Epstein looming vote; Virginia’s book out 10/21 THE CLOCK IS TICKING, PEOPLE 🚨

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

A helpful primer.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not a single UK newspaper has taken up this as front page news🤔 #Brexit follow the money Time to #RejoinEU

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Radio4 news banging on about "British identity", which apparently means talking about the weather (because no other country has weather), the pub, and the royal family. once again, conflating Britishness with Englishness and Monarchism, but anyway a crass and pointless list of banalities.. *sigh*

‘Congratulations to Starmer for uniting the whole country against his Brit ID cards. The ID Scotland really needs is a passport with the words “Republic of Scotland - European Union” Toni Giugliano SNP

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

why is the lead story on Sky News a poll showing Reform likely to win the next general election? it's 4 YEARS AWAY. who knows how many Reform candidates/councillors will be in jail by then?

"For too long we’ve allowed Nigel Farage to set the terms of the debate, and far too often our responses have seemed tactical, not principled. By tacking one way and then the other, we have failed to provide a clear sense of whose side we are on and why." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump speaks to United Nations: 1 something about escalators not working 2 the terrible mayor of London wants to impose Sharia law 3 Trump deserves 7 Nobel Peace prizes for stopping wars, (some of which don't exist, the rest are nowhere near stopping) 4 illegal aliens are destroying Europe

I was just wondering whether, before Trump announced that Tylenol is the cause of autism and the stock price immediately fell - I was just wondering whether anyone in the White House had coincidentally decided to adjust their holdings of Tylenol and thus make a huge profit..? I was just wondering.

Sounds like some of you are waking up to how much BBC News is just a right wing mouthpiece. Has been for years. The Scots raised the alarm with Indyref, but you didn’t listen. And here we are

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk makes a clever suggestion that’d hugely benefit UK & improve public health by incentivising US cancer specialists whose research was cancelled by Trump to come here It’s hidden away on BBC, no headline on Sky Yesterday Farage said he’d deport 1,000’s it was all over both 🤷🏼‍♂️😡

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lib Dems conf, leader offers alternative to Reform/Farage & says BBC simply cut & paste Reform press releases & fail to scrutinise. So the BBC sends Chris Mason, recently pilloried for his breathless coverage of Reform's conf, to interview Davey for 3min segment. Followed by 6min piece on Reform.

🙂🙂🙂

this just in: paracetamol causes autism marshmallows cause Communism Weetabix causes fog deckchairs cause hamsters fascism causes ignorance allegedly.

Lib Dem conference time, so there's a Reform press event. And no LibDem representative on #politicslive. What will they do for the Labour and Tory conferences? New format, sofas, and background music? Oh dear. #politicslive

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

when politicians use tragic events as an opportunity to give rabble-rousing hate speeches, they need to realise just how pumped-up, enraged, and heavily armed some of their followers already are. there are real-world consequences to hate speech - that's why it has to be abjured.

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

Aye. We want to make decisions about our own country For all of the people who make Scotland their home Not be telt whit tae dae by the Tommy Robinson bampots doon the road. Boris Johnson was bad enough. Nae mair nonsense!!! #IndependenceIsNormal #Scotland #ScottishIndependence

interesting to hear Michael Gove, baron of whatever, tell Radio4 that the Unite the Kingdom march was all about ENGLISH identity, not British. we knew this of course, but good to hear a perfidious Scottish Tory say so directly.

The BBC is openly promoting Reform Ltd via all its media, not even paying lipservice to balance. It is outrageous that the checks & balances, set up to ensure fair, proportionate treatment of political entities in the UK, by the BBC, are simply disregarded.

Not a Lib Dem voter but the BBC News channel just announced the start of the LD conference then went straight on to Reform having held their conference earlier. Then an explanation that polls show Reform would win a general election with graphs and a diagram of the House of Commons chamber. What?

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

"The supreme court’s justices shouldn’t let themselves be cowed, bullied or fooled by Trump’s talk that the nation will be destroyed if they nix his tariffs.. It’s time for the court and the nation to wise up to Trump’s lies, hype and shenanigans." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

the UK far-right has many names & many factions. we've had the The National Front, Brexit Party, UKIP, Reform - but among wannabes there are the English Defence League, Britain First, Patriotic Alternative et al. plus ad hoc groupings like Unite the Kingdom: the Fa, as opposed to the Antifa..
