Here’s Nigel Farage when he told you it was all so easy. Now he’s saying he wish he “hadn’t bothered”. Snake oil salesman.

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If Iran has laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, it would be a catastrophe for the global economy. It would take weeks or months of specialised work to demine the route. Trump is utterly out of his depth. All of this was long predicted by open source analysis of how a war with Iran could unfold.

The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017. Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986. Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991. This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

🎵 And it's 1, 2, 3 What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is in Iran And it's 5, 6, 7 Open up the pearly gates Well, there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! We're all going to die🎵 RIP Country Joe

This oaf is fast becoming a serious challenger to Daniel Hannan for the ‘Wrongest Man In The World’ title.

“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.” And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...

Exactly - Europe can't rely on the US. George Monbiot: "What we see here is Donald Trump acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator."

It is quite astonishing to remember the Iraq war, the demise of a brutal dictator there, the principled opposition of France and Germany, the chaos and regional instability that followed vindicating French and German opposition - and to see only Sanchez have the courage to take a stance.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

“I am one of the last holdouts when it comes to insisting on giving the government credit when it does things well… But I just thought Starmer's reaction the next morning was catastrophic. If I had scripted it to go worse, it couldn't.” @sturdyalex.bsky.social 👏

Well said!👏 Tom Kerridge: "Immigration is constantly used by political parties for masking years and years of infrastructure to health, housing, employment, education. "It is not the fault of immigration, it is the fault of poor spending, it is the fault of poor money management."

The Gorton and Denton by-election must be a wake-up call for the party – or it is doomed inews.co.uk/opinion/labo...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

This makes me think of Toni Morrison brilliant understanding of racism. I think it can apply to other bigotries & systems of power as well: "The very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being."

On this, the fourth anniversary of Russia's failed attempt to wipe Ukraine from the map, I spoke to @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social about the war, about Ukraine's heroism and about what it means for all of us. Have a listen! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

Yusuf: "When Nigel is prime minister, there will not be a judge in the country that will be able to prevent flights from leaving." Worth noting that the political precedents for saying, 'The judiciary cannot in any way check the powers of the executive' is not a happy one.

Kemi Badenoch getting irritated and talking over Martin Lewis as he calmly tries to explain why her student debt plans will only help the richest graduates

This one hits hard.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

Little surprises me nowadays. But this story still managed to shock me.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

NEW How Palantir captured the Ministry of Defence How a close read of public domain documents show how MoD was commercially colonised by Palantir By me, at FT www.ft.com/content/5207...

Brexit is costing the UK £90 billion a year in lost tax revenues. £250 million a day. That is Dundee City Council’s entire budget lost to this waste every 48 hours

Farage - grifting multimillionaire and highest earning MP Tice - family money multimillionaire Yusuf - multimillionaire Jenrick - millionaire Zahawi - multimillionaire But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from £12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.) God, they’re hideous.

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?" Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️

Wow.

I don't think Starmer has any conception of the "teaching" role of the premiership: the responsibility (& opportunity) to talk to the public, to shape how they understand the world & the choices before them. All the most impactful PMs have been teachers. Starmer seems actively to repudiate the role

And just like that, Gilead was no longer dystopian fiction. “Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.” www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony. This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This is Nigel Farage with Nick Candy, the treasurer of Reform UK 👇 Candy appears numerous times in the Epstein files over more than a decade, The National has uncovered. The Scottish Greens are putting pressure on Reform to explain the links.

Top 8 stories on Guardian are on the Epstein files, and Trump is not mentioned on the front page once (though is in pic). This is what happens when you control which documents are disclosed and which are not.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.” This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵 www.monbiot.com/2009/05/04/m...

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

How is it that a church warden behind an interior design firm originally incorporated in the BVIs & tied to a Kazakh billionaire can make a £200,000 donation to Reform UK? Source of funds not disclosed. Farage has questions to answer. The Electoral Commission must investigate.

Once again, extraordinary things happening on the social media of the German foreign ministry www.instagram.com/reel/DUGW47K...
