In a dangerous and divided world, Canada and Europe are elevating our defence partnership. That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

This is why we need to cap political donations in the elections bill If you agree, sign the petition! And do share! thanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history 75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men Is this what democracy looks like? New on Democracy for Sale democracyforsale.substack.com/p/75-of-refo...

Great profile of Christopher Harborne, who has given Nigel Farage’s Reform UK a record £9m, from our @rowenamason.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

100% this.

You keep making this claim as if it is gospel. No it really isn't. The UK could have negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the EU under which it continued to be a member of the SM. A50 is only the starting point for the withdrawal discussions. It is a treaty and can be superseded by treaty.

There was only one Brexit referendum and the question it asked did not mention the SM. There is no mandate for leaving the SM.

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years. He's been on Question Time once. Nigel Farage, 44 times. Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

What did Karl Marx predict? He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level. He was right.

Letter in #TheYorkshirePost from #JasOlak VC of #LeedsForEurope

In the last twenty years, mega-donations to political parties from the super-rich haven’t just doubled. They haven’t just trebled. They’ve gone up sevenfold. And that money isn’t generosity. It’s to buy influence so politicians serve their interests, not our constituents.

To be fair to Halifax, this isn’t on them alone. House owners (and wannabe house owners) generally are the problem. Everyone wants a cheap house. Until they get one or more. Then it’s all about riding that gravy train

I was thinking about this the other day. Why does a homeowner want higher prices? If you want to move up the "ladder", you shouldn't want a rise. If you don't plan to move, you shouldn't really care. OK, a better LTV when you remortgage, but is that really what drives this insane wish for rises?

It's time to start taking the Trump Administration at its word.

…and to rehabilitate Russia. I put together this free piece--and the points are striking. This part of the long con is over. Here are the main US positions.

The thing which has truly upset me this year is not the actions of people like Musk or Trump. We already knew that there are terrible people in the world. It’s how much compliance there is from people who should damn well know better.” Exactly so. The accommodation has been bewildering.

"'Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’ with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You mean man-of-the-people, public school-educated, city of London commodities trading, multi-millionaire Farage? That one?

Agree 💯 With Ben Stiller......

They clearly don’t care. They’re just doing their job. And that job appears to be to bring down Labour at any cost. That cost being mainly their integrity.

If I was part of the media circus who called Rachel Reeves a liar after the budget and then moved onto calling her a liar about her success as a school girl chess player I'd be cringing with embarrassment when the OBR and the British Chess Championship corrected their lies.

Labour’s recent attacks on Brexit reflect their dire situation in the polls, which is forcing them “to take decisions they would not have otherwise have taken”. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-s...

Capitalism is a system which gives the richest people who have the least need for money, the greatest power to demand it. It literally enforces inequality.

Zack Polanski calls for cap on political donations after £9m gift to Reform UK, saying democracy should 'never be for sale' - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

What is it about Nigel Farage’s Reform UK that seems to attract *so many* people like this? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/04/nigel-farage-urged-to-sack-ian-cooper-reform-council-leader-accused-of-racism

Amid all the ranting, the most notable takeaway from this Farage press conference is that he is declining to echo Richard Tice's line that those accusing him of racism as a schoolboy are politically-motivated liars. Farage is again moving towards the banter/'it was the 70s'/'no malice' defence.

Nigel Farage reads out letter from Dulwich contemporary at presser who said that while Reform leader's comments were "yes, sometimes offensive" they were never uttered "with malice". Notably,he doesn't repeat Richard Tice's claim that multiple allegations are "made up twaddle".

Tory spox: "Nigel Farage just called a press conference and used it to rant at journalists over historic allegations of racism and antisemitism - allegations he has just admitted are true."

🚨If you are not yet familiar with the shocking IPP scandal - one of the most cruel, inhumane and monumental injustices of the past half century- hold onto your seats and watch this jaw dropping update youtu.be/HVOWDnYBzDI?...

You will be shocked to discover after reading these stories that while Rachel Reeves claimed to have been the "British girls under-14 [chess] champion" she was in reality merely the "Under 14s British Women’s Chess Association (BWCA) Girls" Champion. This is getting utterly ridiculous now

Anybody seen this reported in the media, considering the hysteria around small boat arrivals I'd expect this to be front page news. How is Labour expected to get its message across when our media wilfully refuses to report any positives.

"Women are 51% of the population but 60% of the poor and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food but earn just 11% of the pay and own only 20% of the land All while giving birth to 100% of the population. In case you wondered why we still need feminism." Rick.

The real truth is that Labour are clearing the assylum claims backlog created by the tories and ending the gravytrain of money going to tory friends and donors for providing private internment camps (former hotels). Nimbyism at its very worst.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

I just dont understand why this isn't the lead story on BBC news. If this was any other political party it would be. It's complete in your face corruption.

"Then, there is the corruption. I don’t know what the lawyers might say about this, but Donald Trump Junior’s old college room-mate suddenly getting interested in investments in – presently sanctioned – Russian gas pipelines, that seems like more than a coincidence."
