Revealed: The Online Activity of Staffordshire Council Leader Ian Cooper hopenothate.org.uk/2025/12/03/r...

Massive game tonight in determining our season. Really hope we continue where we left of at Forest and show things really are starting to click. Awful record against Villa but we beat a promoted team 3-0 at home recently so anything is possible. Saying that, will take 4pts from this & Sunday #bhafc

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

The state of corruption in America’s first family set out in detail by this comprehensive article in @guardian by @tomburgis bit.ly/3KvAmn6 this is the corruption the Rutger Bergman referred to in the sentence in his first Reith Lecture, now deleted “for legal reasons”

Farage. Grifter-in-chief. Racist. Russian asset. Trump groupie. He gets an MP’s salary and spends his time doing anything but. A professional piss-taker and national security (and sanity) threat, leading the polls to be the next PM. Come on UK. Get some sodding self-respect.

Farage, Musk, and many Tories promote the antisemitic Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory. They're not mainstream figures—they're extremists. Treating them like ordinary politicians only normalises their extremism. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

When Nigel Farage says "Never trust a Tory", does he mean the endless amount of Conservative defectors to Reform UK? 😬

Nathan Gill, never forget. #ReformRussianBribes

I love that, while admitting Brexit was a failure, the Telegraph simultaneously warns of a "Labour plot to reverse it". Because "it was never about the economy", you see, but "about sovereignty, immigration and taking back control". How are those aspects going, Telegraph? ~AA

Ironically, this could have been a moment of renaissance for the One Nation Tories in the Conservative Party, a time for the party to rid itself of the rabid right and move towards the centre. But the Brexiters expelled all the moderates from the party, so there's no one left but the dregs.

Reform UK went into Durham Council promising to find huge savings. They have managed to GROW the authority's deficit by over £11m *in the last two months*. Grimes recommends “serious consideration” to increasing council tax “by the maximum 5%.” ~AA northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

Two more Conservative MP rejects hop over to Reform UK. Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici. More and more, Reform UK looks simply as if the Tories ran off stage, then came back on two minutes lates, wearing a comedy moustache-and-glasses disguise. ~AA uk.news.yahoo.com/former-tory-...

A quick reminder of who Nigel Farage was most concerned about when Putin's tanks first rolled into Ukraine

THREE MORE MASSIVE POINTS! 😍

Nigel Farage ‘was my vicious, persistent tormentor’ at school

Since the Nathan Gill conviction, a lot of people seem to be waking up to Putin's meddling in British politics Here's a handy primer from me and @goldbergradio.bsky.social A Beginner's Guide to Russian Influence: Brexit and Beyond @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

UKIP, Brexit Party, Reform ... They're all just Farage firms taking their voters for fools. 🔥 Brexit has failed. 🔥 Reform councils have failed. 🔥 Everything Farage touches fails. Yet Farage and his Putin-pals keep earning millions from a grift that sows nothing but hate, division and lies #VladsArmy

Relax…

Coincidence corner: Nigel Farage and crypto. From the new Private Eye, out now.

In case you missed it ... Here's Nigel Farage celebrating the collapse of the pound after he "won" the Brexit ref. #VladsArmy

Nigel Farage accused of ‘persistent’ racial abuse by ex-schoolmate who rejects claims it was ‘banter’

Tonight we're celebrating 10 years of Rewilding Britain (@rewildingbritain.org.uk). I don't think I've ever come across an organisation which has shifted both public attitudes and tangible outcomes on an issue so fast. I'm proud to be associated.

It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

We need to smash this untruth shared by Nick Robinson on #r4today, and by his mates in the Tory/Reform party, that working people will be funding people who do not work with the lifting of the benefit cap. They are very often the same people. 60% of beneficiaries are IN WORK and many others ...

Literally!! The right wing papers Hate You Anyway!! Why not give them something to Really Hate You For, and know - at least - people will thank you in ten years time???

She’s just asking questions.

Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy. OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

Badenoch's response was like having the snidest Richard Littlejohn Daily Mail piece, read out by a foghorn.

Gordon Brown: The two-child benefit cap was a scar on the country’s soul By abolishing the cap, Rachel Reeves will lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty

Is it just me or Mel Stride looking genuinely uncomfortable at how unpleasant Kemi Badenoch is being right now

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.

Reform slide to lowest polling since April

A billion-pound jump in gambling income in a single year is not a success story — it’s a warning. We need stronger taxes and urgent action to protect people from an industry built on addiction. #PublicHealth #EconomicJustice

new allegation concerning Farage’s behaviour when he was 18 years old

"Many people are planning on voting for Reform because they desperately want “change”. I doubt they fully understand that change, under Farage, would involve an Orbán-inspired war on democracy and decency."

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

New: Three new ex-pupils come forward, on the record, to say Farage's racism as a teenager was targeted, persistent and nasty. Farage has denied targeting any individuals - but two of the men tell us they recall Farage abusing Peter Ettedgui. w/ Dan Boffey, @drblacklock.bsky.social

It really matters because Farage relies on both a veneer of public ‘respectability’ *and* an undercoat of racism to further his bid for power. He won’t get there without both. So, it’s very important that the ‘respectability’ element is justifiably stripped away.

Someone really needs to explain the Striesand Effect to the BBC. And also tell them to stop being so pathetic.

Pressure mounts on Nigel Farage to launch probe into Russian influence on Reform
