Things the Guardian could investigate: Who paid for Farage’s house in Clacton? How much did Nigel Farage know about Nathan Gill’s payments? How much money did Farage receive from Bannon? Who was behind the £200000 donation to Reform?

And the balance If it is okay to start every labour interview with Did angela rayner pay the correct tax Why doesnt every reform interview start with Why did nigel farage say he was buying a house in clacton when he knew his girlfriend was buying it, and where did she get the money

Timeline cleanse, Kew Gardens.

The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform. All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.

BREAKING: Downing Street director of communications Tim Allan resigns

ReFUKKK intend to ditch all these rights. Media seem to be in agreement, along with the anti-Starmer types in the TUC and other unions, and backbenchers hellbent on getting Starmer to resign and thus fracture and destroy Labour, in favour of ReFUKKK.

Reform are using bots to make them look popular that’s how desperate they are. Good job bots can’t cast fake votes! #NeverVoteReform

This weekend let’s give it up, and give a big hand to all the staff of #NHS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It shouldn’t take a pandemic for us to show our appreciation, and support to all the nationalities that make up our World Leading Free Healthcare Team❗️ They are always there for all of us 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Excellent article by Gordon Brown. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The British mainstream media is busy trying to oust Starmer, again, and yet they seem not at all interested in a much bigger and more serious Epstein story involving Farage, Putin, and Brexit. Fortunately, @bylinetimes.bsky.social is.

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide. Farage is in trouble.

Only Labour can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. Zack Polanski knows this - that's why he was too chicken to stand himself. Vote Labour on Thursday 26 February.

Delighted that Angeliki Stogia is Labour’s candidate for Gorton & Denton by-election. She’s a strong Mancunian woman with Labour values & a record of delivery. All our doorstep work is clear, only Labour can win against Reform. Don’t risk voting for others. We chose unity & hope over division.

www.politico.eu/article/keir... A strong commitment to the Single Market. Good start.

As a reminder, the Labour government is being accused of selling out even though they have stuck to the referendum decision and manifesto on which they won a sweeping majority. Because for the ultras only the purest most fantasy Brexit is valid. Total ideologues.

Keir Starmer’s Labour Government Is Much Better Than the Media Admits There is a deep disconnect between the Government’s actions to improve the country and its standing in the polls, argues Professor Chris Painter bylinetimes.com/2026/01/29/k...

There is always a tweet

How could he have been unaware of this? How could his Labour allies not have known? He appears to have shot himself in the foot and everyone is blaming Starmer when it’s his own fault.

Nigel Farage, has proposed a mass deportation plan called "Operation Restoring Justice," which includes creating a "UK Deportation Command" modelled on the U.S. ICE. Don't vote Reform unless you want innocent blood on UK streets like we see in the USA.

Number of times Nigel Farage has held a constituency surgery for the people of Clacton in 19 months = 0 Number of times Farage has been paid by an Iranian billionaire to advise at Davos in 19 months (WEF) = 1 Number of times Farage has visited the USA in 19 months = 9 #ConMan

We have to classify, X, Facebook and the rest of the tech platforms as ”publishers“, legally responsible for everything that appears. It’s unnaceptable that they hide behind their users & use the “nothing to do with me, guv” defence. They make untold billions. It’s up to THEM to police their sites

This is worth a read. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Christmas at Kew 🤩

Completely off topic, I love the Waitrose Christmas ads.

Yup.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. For shame, Mr Johnson and the team you pretended to lead. Preventable deaths on your hands. They will not return to us. You live on, rich and vainglorious. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Knife deaths in London in the year to May 2025 were the lowest in a 12 month period since September 2015. We are making progress, but there is much to do. We will not let-up in our approach with the police, and through prevention with the London VRU, to build a safer city for all.

“Headlines shouldn’t always be about political drama,” said one student. “They should be about fixing the country.” But our media want drama, excitement and blood.... Stephen McNair reports

"It would mean more people could benefit from those frequent Central Line services. It is exactly what I hoped this Labour government might do. "And I almost missed it, because they instead won’t shut up about being horrible to foreigners."

Which one is more English?

To our friends in Jamaica: your beautiful island is loved across the world. Our hearts are with you as you face nature at its most destructive.

Reeves should announce the intention to join the SM and the CU in the budget. They are rolling the pitch in that direction so, go for it. You or I could easily provide the “excuses” for ripping up the manifesto. Trump’s Tariffs would be the first. “Economic winds” would be another. Just do it RR.

ULEZ means about 1,500 sq kilometres - the whole of Greater London - is covered by road emissions control. Stop and think about that for a second. It's incredible. Its impact on public health has been huge. Studies said it would take 200 YEARS to reach this emission level. Khan did it in five.

You’ll get what you vote for with reform!!!!

Lest we forget one month ago Angela Rayner resigned over underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove Within a week Farage exposed not to own a £885,000 house in #Clacton he claimed he’d bought & accused of avoiding £44,000 in tax by funding his girlfriend to buy it It got buried quick eh❗️😡

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

RIP Jane Goodall 💔

184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time. This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.

I’m enjoying this speech and I’ve got not going to get distracted but just let me tell you I live in France and there is fuck all chance of the EU letting us rejoin whilst Farage is anywhere near. They remember him as an MEP. They are delighted, however, to have a closer relationship with Starmer.

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere. Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity (Letter,Times)

Take a breath. Look behind the hostile headlines. What this government is on the verge of doing is to expand this one-in-one-out deal into, essentially, a safe and legal route from France. It is - and has always been - the only solution to dangerous crossings and what has been needed for years.

In London, hate will never win.
