Kemi Badenoch once promised not to rush out policies. She took maximum damage over the party's lack of ideas and is now rushing out policies on climate change, the ECHR & benefits for foreigners, so she can take maximum damage for plans which she clearly hasn't thought through.

🔴Conservative Government Left Behind £200 Billion of ‘Unachievable’ Infrastructure Projects Hundreds of billions of pounds worth of projects were left for which “successful delivery… appears to be unachievable” reports @davidhencke.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/09/29/g...

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

This is good from Nick Cohen on Farage and Mason .... nickcohen.substack.com/p/cometh-the...

DC really turned up. This is how you do it folks.

Who has the biggest crowds? And who's no longer the most famous American in the world? (And it's only a video address- he won't even be there. 😊😊😊) #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #PopeLeo

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find your event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEnd... PASS IT ON!

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

Trump spent 75 minutes on the phone with Putin. He praised him, talked about teaming up on Iran, but apparently never called on him to stop targeting innocent civilians. What a disgraceful way to treat our allies and the brave people of Ukraine.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The Israeli defence minister has threatened to “take all necessary measures” to prevent a humanitarian ship carrying climate campaigner Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza. -- well that sounds like a remarkably stupid move on his part.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

True story bro.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to discover Reform UK doesn’t know how government spending works eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/loc...

So full of his own arrogance he can't bring himself to even apologise for what he helped do to the country!

Philp gulps his way through the Sunday politics shows, pretending he was a lone voice urging restraint while Liz Truss grenaded the economy… admitting ‘mistakes were made’ but refusing to apologise. The arrogance and the delusion are beyond tedious now. Just go TF away, all of you. You’re done.

Zia Yusuf returns to Reform UK two days after quitting. Explains return to Farage cult by claiming he was exhausted. Now not exhausted enough to lead DOGE style team to slash jobs, public services, worker/consumer/human rights, promote uncosted policies What some do for the stench of power.

Good to see Richard Tice back on TV. It's about time Laura Kuenssberg did her bit to normalise Reform policies by platforming a party with only 5 MPs almost every week.

I’m extremely chuffed by just how well the below article has done - who knew public procurement frameworks could be so popular! Thanks to @bylinesnetwork.co.uk and @eastangliabylines.co.uk for sharing it so far and wide, and for all the lovely comments and DMs.

Chums! Baby Dog here. The weather was rather Damp and Squidgy here yesterday but I had the BEST day because I met up with my Little Brother Albie and we had a FABULOUS time. Now he’s a bit older, look how his daft behaviour is so similar to mine! We loved the wet grass! 🌱💦💚

That’s a bit sinister.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. But apart from that, spot on! 😬 The Bear explains how Reform got it completely wrong ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

See the difference? 👀

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

🔴How the Media is Trying to Talk a Nigel Farage Government Into Reality Why for much of the British press, the unlikely story of Reform UK's rise to power is simply "too good to check" www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-me...

I’ve been working on an automatic bobcat watering station that will work when I’m away. I was a bit worried about the hose being scary but apparently it meets with approval.

While Tory MPs chase fare dodgers around for a few quid, billions in wasteful PPE spending is being uncovered. Perhaps if Robert Jenrick wants to catch who's really robbing the country blind, he should look within.

Study on London 20 mph limits shows: - collisions ⬇️ 35% - casualties ⬇️ 36% - fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34% - child casualties ⬇️ 46% - child deaths ⬇️ 75% - walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits...

Labour overturned a 4,500 SNP majority in Hamilton and the BBC spun this as somehow a victory for Reform. The BBC News department is not fit for public service.

Truly bizarre exchange just now in which Kemi Badenoch demands that the BBC tells her whether or not Liz Truss is still in the Conservatives, despite her being in charge of the actual party herself

The Labour government have announced they will bring in rules as part of their Future Homes Standard plan that will require most new builds to include substantial solar panels. Tory gov. rules say solar panel coverage must be equivalent to 40% of the buildings floor plan - or none at all. 1/2

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

While Reform has a mini meltdown and Musk/Trump tear chunks out of each other, maybe media could start scrutinising these grifting tossers who do nothing but harm and call it patriotism. They don’t even know how to behave, let alone decide policy. Time to start binning off these foghorns of failure.

Thoughts and prayers with the whole Reform "Doge" thing - which has aged, overnight, like a bucket of tripe and pickled herring in a festival portaloo.

Just booked round trip train tickets for 3 adults to go from Toulouse to Carcassonne. Cost me €78 for all three, so €26 each. Why is UK train travel so broken compared to the continent?

The governing party winning a by-election is *always* a win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election they were expected to lose is a *good* win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election in a seat *they didn't previously hold* is a great day for its leader.

Labour isn’t aping austerity. We’re ending it.
