Listening to Ken Clarke on the News Agents podcast. Makes you wonder why these sort of people aren’t in parliament any more. #KenClarke #NewsAgents

Well, quite.

I think this is more accurate than a lot of people on this website admit, but I also think taking it for granted is the surest way to alienate just enough people that it's not enough

Samir Zitouni and Stephen Crean are heroes who saved lives. They showed the best of Britain: putting themselves in harm's way to protect others. They both deserve the George Cross in recognition of their incredible bravery.

NEW: ‘Nigel Farage is not my friend…he’s just a handsome & stylish English gentleman’ The wife of the Russian agent who Nathan Gill has admitted to accepting bribes from says Nigel Farage is not her ‘good friend’ after saying that he was her ‘good friend’ 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Spread it far and wide. Sarah Pochin, Reform UK

Lily Allen’s new album, West End Girl, is a rather good listen.

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

Worth ten minutes of anyone’s time

Nigel Farage never did answer why he met the Russian Ambassador. All he did was call the interviewer a nutcase. This interview is a real insight in to how little Nigel Farage likes being asked about his ties to Russia. archive.ph/rTLvd #ReformRussianBribes

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

Rupert Lowe on Nathan Gill, former Reform leader in Wales, who has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from pro-Russian proxies: "I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close." Shots fired. ~AA

The contact of Reform UK's Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why is no one asking more questions? www.thenerve.news/p/reform-uk-...

It’s time that Russia’s malign influence on British politics was properly investigated. Agree? Add your name 👇🏻

"Crucially, the [2020 Russia] report also revealed that our intelligence agencies had never been tasked with investigating whether Russian money or interference actually affected UK elections." It’s time for a REAL Russia report" open.substack.com/pub/writesbr...

“If Robert Jenrick had seen you or Kemi Badenoch in that area, he would have just assumed you were poorly integrated.”

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd. Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it. (Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Is Nigel Farage Moscow’s Man? youtube.com/watch?v=CVti...

@labouruk.bsky.social , Do not let #Farage slither out of this again. Keep up the interrogation of this traitor. Investigate into the depths of Russian influence over Farage, #ReformUK ...and for while you're at it... #Brexit "Russian Bribery Case Spooks Farage" www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o7v...

Next week, the Green Party will defend Worcestershire Councillor Hannah Robson in the High Court. The Reform UK candidate is hoping to overturn our election win! Can you help us defend Hannah and democracy from this attack? Please donate if you can 🙏 donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/make-sure-we...

True.

And by "calls" they mean their own Reform propaganda channel and a few snowflakes that demand free speech, but only for right wing gobshites.

We really should eat more swans to prove how British we are, they are after all the food of English kings.

Rest in peace Ricky #RickyHatton

I’m appalled by reports of a series of antisemitic incidents in Barnet. Antisemitism should never be tolerated in our city and the Met Police are investigating these as hate crimes. If you have any information, I urge you to report it:

Well done to @zackpolanski.bsky.social good luck, gloves off, game on

On August 1st, vote for a leader who’ll take on Reform. Challenge this Labour government. And take the fight to the power and wealth they seek to protect. It’s time for bold leadership. #BackZack

Research finds using AI makes you stupid From the latest Private Eye, out now.

It’s incredibly moving to witness the heartfelt reactions of those whose loved ones have been deeply affected by the inhumane ban on assisted dying. Today marks a historic victory, not just for our campaign, but for UK politics as a whole - and for all those for whom this issue means so much.

Today has the potential to be historic. We have the opportunity to create a step change in the way we think about caring for the terminally ill. I am hoping that we this will be the start of a revolution in patient autonomy. There is also a rally in support of the bill in Parliament Square.

There’s a reason I started working with @knecessary.bsky.social From last year:

Just 3% of Brits think Ukraine is responsible for the war. Trump has lost all allies. Entirely.

I have one!
