Just a deeply unpleasant man.

So high on the racism, misogyny & climate change denial that they can *never* admit their man is all the things the people with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ said he was.

This would be a huge contract for JCB. In other news, the JBC group has so far given £1.1 million to the Conservative party and Kemi Badenoch since she became its leader

Shadow sports minister receives freebies from the horseracing industry. Then asks questions in parliament benefiting the horseracing industry. Think there's a word for that... Via Private Eye

Why the real story of British politics is the continued decline of Nigel Farage's party and the rise of a new alternative on the left www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/crossover-...

Your regular reminder that this time last month Kemi Badenoch told her party's spring conference that Keir Starmer should back Trump's actions in Iran "immediately and unequivocally"

The Greens have now overtaken both the Conservatives and Labour, according to the latest polling average

So as Reform UK announce their plans for the "biggest benefit cuts ever", whilst cutting taxes for the wealthiest, their Treasurer has just sold his Chelsea Mansion for a record £275million www.ft.com/content/8daf...

Tommy Robinson accidentally posting on the wrong account.

PM of Poland

Props to @jessmccabe.bsky.social for the scoop that led to this

He's repeatedly insulted our country, our leaders and our military, is pushing up our prices and threatening our national security, yet the self-proclaimed 'patriotic' right-wing press still finds a way to put themselves on his side

Europe is the shield against imperialism. The US is gone.

Strikes me as an absurd threat, either we need the 4000 new training places or we don’t

New Brexit metaphor just dropped.

It's always good to have a target market

Everything is always someone else’s fault. If only the publishing industry had been less woke; a decent editor might have saved him from the consequences of his dishonesty.

Oh.

🔴Kemi Badenoch Campaigns For North Sea Drilling at Company Owned by Oil and Gas Executive Who Donated £250,000 to the Conservatives The Conservative party has also taken millions of pounds from funders and directors of anti-Net Zero lobby groups bylinetimes.com/2026/03/30/k...

So Kemi Badenoch today continued her “fuel Britainnia” campaign to extract “every last drop” of oil and gas from the North Sea, by visiting a company whose oil executive owner has so far donated more than £250,000 to the Conservatives since she became its leader bylinetimes.com/2026/03/30/k...

One of the key revelations of the Epstein documents from the UK perspective is the strange plot to topple (and that's the word they use) the Tory government of Theresa May. Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson were at the core of it. Here's an excellent recap of the whole sordid scheme.

There doesn't seem to be much love lost for Goodwin among his GB News colleagues who seem greatly amused by his being taken apart by @twelves.bsky.social.

"Act of domination" latest

But calling for it anyway, however ignorantly, will make a direct difference to what climate change denying donors pay politicians. So there’s that.

This incoherent word salad is the best Mahmood's defenders can do. Apparently there are too many immigrants here so we need remigration, so we need to extend the period to settlement (??), but net migration may be negative and we may have too few migrants (??) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Is it any wonder our media ecosystem is such a mess? The guy in charge of the supposedly impartial watchdog is slagging off the BBC to the right wing Telegraph - which is hostile to the BBC - & defending the fact his organisation has let GB News act share misinformation and constantly promote Reform

Kemi Badenoch admits that her plan to expand drilling in the North Sea, whilst scrapping Net Zero plans, probably won't make a direct difference to what people pay. "The drilling isn't going to go directly onto people's bills" she tells the BBC

There's having a brass neck and then there’s whatever this is from Boris Johnson

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

You know things are getting bad for Badloss when even GB News are turning against him

As the police find no evidence whatsoever of illegal family voting or voter coercion in the Gorton and Denton by-election, the BBC should ask themselves why, on the morning of the result, they gave so much airtime to these absurd and obviously racist claims from Nigel Farage

NEW: A Reform candidate who called for all Muslims to be deported and backed thug Tommy Robinson is in line to become an MSP. Senga Beresford has been handed a plum list ranking for South Scotland which polling suggests will see her win.

Wait... this is real? Reform actually did this in... Leeds? Did everyone get a badge with a ribbon?

It's been eight hours since the Government announced that crypto donations to political parties had been banned effective immediately and Reform's crypto portal is still accepting donations

Reform UK's poll score is now heading downwards very quickly. Turns out that being really unpleasant, remaining disorganised, having loads of skeletons in their closet, being reliant on a very unpopular leader and hating almost everything the public thinks doesn't work for long. Who knew eh.

this explains everything

🔴Blow to Nigel Farage After Government Bans Crypto Donations in Urgent Crackdown on Foreign Political Interference Keir Starmer’s Government acted following publication of a review launched in the wake of Reform’s Welsh Leader Nathan Gill being jailed for taking pro-Russian bribes

supreme accidental comic timing in Commons just now during PMQs: Keir Starmer: “there is only one party leader who has shown he will say anything, no matter how divisive, if he is paid to do so” Speaker (calling the next question): “Nigel Farage”

The full list of recommendations from the Government's Rycroft Review of foreign political interference

So it turns out the hero voters are out of touch with their own concerns

🔴 Reform UK Councils Are Dismantling the Fight Against Climate Change Nigel Farage’s party is spreading climate change denial, while blocking any localised action to deal with the threat, an academic analysis of Reform councils has found bylinetimes.com/2026/03/24/r...

Living costs are soaring, the current Prime Minister has historically poor ratings and yet Reform can only muster a four point lead, three years out from the general election. It's underpriced quite how beatable Farage really is

This confirms all my prejudices, and I will not be critically evaluating its claims or evidence at this time.

Me for @bylinetimes.bsky.social on that Matt Goodwin book bylinetimes.com/2026/03/23/m...
