🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

Remember when people kept claiming George Soros was paying Remainers & funding campaigns and how it was wrong for a foreign billionaire to try to influence our democracy? Really weird how quiet they are about a £22mn donation to Reform & £5mn gift for Farage from an overseas billionaire isn’t it.

A wall of crypto money is powering Nigel Farage, both politically and personally. And much of the British media just shrugs app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73421/...

“The British press usually works itself into a fury if people in public life threaten legal action against journalists... But when it comes to the wall of money and lawyers propping up Farage and his finances, barely a squeak” Democracy dying in the darkness. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

🚨 The first-past-the-post system is not fit for purpose. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/08/early-england-election-results-make-it-clear-we-are-in-an-era-of-five-party-politics

Without minimising the dire results for Labour, it’s extraordinary how chipper the Tories are. They’ve lost 500 seats from a low watermark, lost historic major councils to Lib Dems and Reform, show no signs of recovery in the esp LD areas they need to win. But MPs seem to think it’s going well.

Britain's broadcast media boasts of its strict adherence to impartiality rules. Mentions per MP. LibDems: 645 Tories: 5,116 Greens: 7,763 Labour (the actual govt): 27,438 Reform: 70,732 Anyone surprised they're ahead? bebroadcast.co.uk/politics-who...

The large number of seats Reform has won is merely crystallising their current vote share versus their position in 2022. But when compared with last year Reform's vote share is going down. They've peaked, but few at the BBC are mentioning this.

East Surrey County Council Results (new council) 🔶 LDM: 40 (+34) 🌳 CON: 10 (-34) 🌍️ GRN: 8 (+4) ➡️ RFM: 5 (+5) 🏘️ LOC: 5 (-9) ⚪️ IND: 4 (=) Liberal Democrat GAIN Changes based on notional results from previous councils.

Here's Nigel Farage's "Tiktok guru" and adviser, Jack Anderton, telling GB News that he would be "worried" if the Jewish population was growing in the UK. When do we start seeing all the coverage about the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

Sad but proud. An awesome Villa team battered our injury-ravaged makeshift XI. I hope we have another European adventure in less than 30 years time. Good luck to #avfc in the final. #nffc

A huge night for #NFFC as they battle Aston Villa for a place in the Europa League final in Istanbul. We'll be live for our post match show straight after the game as @mattdaviesff.bsky.social is joined by Sam Collins and a very nervous Chris Aylmer. youtube.com/live/qy7uJ8y...

Has Morgan Gibbs-White earned a World Cup spot? My thoughts below for @vaveluk.bsky.social #NFFC #England www.vavel.com/en/football/...

Unfortunately nobody from Reform is available to speak to any journalists at the moment due to being very busy avoiding scrutiny about the £5 million I failed to declare.

Something doesn’t add up here.

A year-and-a-half ago, Reform refused to explain to Byline Times why Nigel Farage posed with far-right activists. Now, after we learned one of them has been criminally convicted for storming an anti-racism church meeting (which occurred 2 weeks before the photo), still no response. Why the silence?

Our aid cuts have been just as severe. It won't kill as many people because we spent less to start with, and focused a bit less on health/food programmes. But we've got nothing to be proud of here.

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

Chrjs Mason doesn't feel able to pass judgment on Farage's "gift". But he did for Angela Rayner or Rachel Reeves (and I'm not Labour).

There's a vote on this story too. Of course MGW deserves to be on that plane. #nffc www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pretty much an instant downgrade to a some-of-society approach, then

America, winning on the world stage.

I'm not ashamed to say I love this man. #nffc legend

That third goal. 10 passes (including the throw-in and Taiwo's pass into the net). Beautiful. #nffc

Wind turbines are such an eyesore.

Ok, so I don't know what I'm on about. Trust Vitor and Trust Big T. YOUUU REDSSS! What a win. #nffc

Yikes. I'll be impressed if this team gets anything out of the game today, never mind a clean sheet. If we do though...! #nffc

Couple about to sign divorce papers… WOMAN: I wish I'd never joined that Star Wars dating app MAN: You were looking for love in Alderaan places WOMAN: And I wish I'd never married a guy addicted to Star Wars puns MAN: It was a wookie mistake WOMAN: Just sign it MAN, SIGNING: May divorce be with you

Not even sure where to start with this. As well as totally deranged and obscene, it is just bizarre. These people are not just grim and menacing, but they are proper weirdos aren't they?

Election Campaign Latest: Announce something unbelievably petty to stir up outrage while delighting the dregs of society, knowing that it is utterly unworkable and could never be implemented.

Europe is not just about geography, it's also about the values and principles we share. That’s why we are glad to welcome Canada at the European Political Community meeting today to discuss common issues. We will be talking about connectivity, but also resilience to the threats we are all facing.

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

Reform Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf advocates a future government would make decisions on locations of detention centres solely/primarily on political grounds.

I'm afraid #avfc have lost a lot of goodwill after seemingly throwing that game. #nffc #whufc

Pretty much everyone's supporting #avfc this evening (other than Spurs fans). Come on you Villans!!* *You do need to win to keep ahead of the Cherries! #nffc

Hmm our last two fixtures aren't looking too easy #nffc

Yours for £5m. #NigelForSale

Looked at why ONS produced population + immigration projections so far above what is likely [possible] in 2027 Answer: model simply plugs in a historic average. ONS do not try to analyse flows, trends, impacts of current policy at all (obvs future policy unknown) so will adjust to reality post hoc.

So today, £5million-giftboy, Farage bins his planned appearance on #bbclaurak But as soon as he wants scrutiny-free attention, he’ll be back. How dare he use the media when it suits him and shun it when it doesn’t. No one wanting power should have that kind of control over their own accountability.

This is really bad.

Great to see #swfc finally get a new owner. At last they can be reborn and start next season without another massjve points deduction. Great old club. And good to see a win yesterday too! #nffc

Reform Candidate tweeted about White people as the Master Race, cheered an asian woman being raped, and unwisely also tweeted pictures of his house and dog to prove it was him.

Thanks Brentord 👏👏 Hopefully #nufc are safe and on the beach now. The maximum possible relegation points line has fallen from 46 to 45 points today (assuming no massive wins to overturn GD). We just need Spurs to lose tomorrow and the line will drop to 43. #nffc

"55% of Germans, 51% of Spaniards and 46% of Poles say they would support admitting Canada to the EU. 42% of the French and 41% of Italians think likewise. A YouGov survey in 2025 found that 42% of Canadians also supported joining the EU." 🇨🇦 🇪🇺

Johnson has nine children and not an ounce of integrity

Inspired by @iandunt.bsky.social I have almost entirely weened myself off Amazon. They were so ahead of the game on delivery & ease of transaction but obviously the rest of the world has caught up. Happily spending money now at Waterstones, Blackwell, Boots, Argos, John Lewis AND Holbury Hardware!
