The Sheer Scale of the ‘VIP Lane’ PPE Scandal Has Still Not Been Revealed 5 Years On Evidence suggests that at 20+ more politically-connected suppliers received contracts worth £1B I reported on this for @bylinetimes.bsky.social in April: bylinetimes.com/2025/04/16/c... See also Viplanebook.com

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick” Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Here’s an idea. If anyone sees these vans of men putting up flags, take a photo of their reg plate and post it on here. Let’s do some investigating to find who they are and who’s paying them.

With the world being… gestures wildly at everything… one of the most important things we can still do is laugh - sometimes hysterically, sometimes just to stay sane. So, with that in mind, I present to you: People Who Make Me Laugh. Let me know in the comments who rlse should be added. 🐻

Wes Streeting complained that “women” (by which he means “transphobes”) are being silenced. Funny how one of those “silenced women” gets an op-ed in national mainstream media while we get nothing. 6500 anti-trans articles in UK mainstream media in 2023 shows who is being silenced and who is not.

~ 'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny – Byline Times ~ https://bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/stunned-farages-admission-he-knew-nathan-gill-but-not-his-pro-russian-sympathies-does-not-stand-up-to-scrutiny/

This is fantastic!

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit. Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union. But yes. It’s a start. www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

We should also hold the media - including the Times - for their role in Brexit. They failed to hold the Brexiters to account for their lies, instead pushing and supporting those lies.

Every benefit cut is a cut to a high street, a care worker, a council service. You can’t “balance the books” by burning the foundations. That’s how you hollow out a nation. Prof Richard Murphy reports

"Brexiteers boasted that leaving the EU would be worth hundreds of billions a year. Cambridge Econometrics estimates that over the next decade Britain's economy will be £300bn smaller than if we had not left the EU. This is self-harm on a heroic scale." #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Being a member of the EU was always an advantage for the UK in exports to the rest of the world outside the EU.

The guy heavily invested in being a landlord and dodging tax doesn't like your policies. ... How unexpected.

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer. Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

At least one senior Labour official seems to finally remember they aren't in Reform. The changes won't just harm economy and country, they'll destroy families and force more people into becoming undocumented, leading to more deportations. They need scrapping not pausing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Rachel Reeves set to blame Nigel Farage for tax rises in the Budget, saying he delivered Brexit with “easy sloganeering” and then walked away It’s about time www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

🇪🇺 Brexit reset: tokenistic pockets of sanity that do nothing to fix systemic barriers. 🇬🇧 Chemical exports ⤵️35-40%, goods exports ⤵️ 27% 🇪🇺 61% Brexit as failure; only 13% success. 🇬🇧 We need cross-party forum to begin formal re-association with the EU and to prepare political ground for reentry.

Lest we forget... "I didn’t work for Cambridge Analytica at all. That’s libellous. I’m being very serious now. You’re actually propagating a load of misinformation that’s been put online based on nothing." — Alex Phillips, Brexit Party #PoliticsLive

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. #bbcqt

“Unwitting” !?! Remainers warned the country of the consequences of leaving the EU. Don’t now pretend these consequences come as a surprise. www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Thanks for all the really amazing support from Question Time tonight! You heard it several times (including even from Reform!): @greenparty.org.uk are surging. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk #BBCQT

So refreshing to see someone challenge the smug, nasty Reform narrative

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.

Brexit should never have happened with lies from Johnson &Farage like the lie about huge sums for the NHS. UKIP backed up by pro Russian funded donors, CA, Tufton Street,the billionaire RW press and the usual ex BNP fascists. Brexiteers had a full hand.Brexit is disastrous. We need to rejoin the EU

Come on fellow lefties, thinkers, humanitarians and all-round decent folk. The only real alternative to Fartrage. Join The Greens.

There is something deeply broken in the UK and it has absolutely nothing to do with migrants, especially with 1 in 25 properties being vacant. This should be the number one priority for the government. Instead more and more homeless individuals are dying. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s not rocket science but Labour clearly don’t understand. Brexit was brought to us by a rancid bunch of lying racist money grabbing grifters. It’s costing us £100bn annually & ruining our economy, society, environment, food security & freedoms. Staying out is stupid & not what we want.

#BobtheRacistNob bullshitting while doing a bit more racism

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture. It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

St Gorge?? Amazing how many "patriots" have issues with basic literacy. Always the 1st to complain about forriners not speaking English proper. Poor education, limiting of opportunity and aspiration results in a bitterness that the RW use to stir up hatred against others as a distraction tactic.

Questions that need answers. And a post that needs sharing far and wide.

Christian groups and the right wing ‘deceiving’ the courts? Who would have thought it.

And yet, if anyone in the press calls this racist (which it patently is), they’ll face more outrage than the man who lamented a shortage of white faces. So we’ll politely rebrand it as “unwise,” perhaps “ill-judged,” or “not in keeping with the spirit of inclusivity.” Sick. To. The. Back. Teeth.

Come on and keep this thread going. You know what to do!

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

Still buzzing from the leadership speeches at conference! If you missed them, or if you want to watch again, you can catch them on the Green Party's YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/@GreenPartyo...

"We can win the next election", Kemi insisted. Words fail me, but thankfully not John Crace. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Disingenuous at best. The problem lies with self serving politicians and a media that supports them. Divisive words, biased media and far right politics allow hate to blossom. Labour is unfortunately no longer any different. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/shaban...
