🎵Reformers… Tories in disguise🎵

The messages between the far-right former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein reveal how Bannon worked with Boris Johnson and Farage to “overthrow” Theresa May at the height of the 2018 Brexit crisis in the UK bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

Here’s the LBC recording of Bannon talking with Farage about getting rid of Theresa May, just as his text messages to Epstein suggest he’s work with Boris Johnson to the same end youtu.be/nU0F8rP7dr4?...

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...

The hypocrisy is off the scale. Does a puff piece in The Times. Then sends a notice via the press regulator telling journalists, those worthy of the name, not to harass him.

Starmer’s speech was so good, a reminder that when Johnson was cornered he hid in a fridge. Starmer stood his ground.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Oxfordshire County Council has spent over £16,000 removing 397 flags affixed to highway street furniture since August, the Clarion has learned, plus a further flag in Witney removed on safety grounds due to obstruction of a traffic signal head which incurred a cost of £300 alone.

Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service called out crews from across central Oxfordshire to fight the fire, which was “well developed involving the first floor and roof”. They say they have been able to save a large part of the building. The house is currently unoccupied and no persons were injured.

If this got more views on YouTube than the actual show, it would make my year. youtu.be/Y54OJC0FtCs

Nothing says "smash the political establishment" quite like begging the Prime Minister to put your mates in the unelected House of Lords.

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

Sebastian Gorka on Politics Live is a must watch for anyone who thinks that the current US Government has even an ounce of sanity within it

Nigel Farage is a racist. More as we have it.

Rats in sacks....

I’ve been vegetarian for 30 years but one of my favourite Christmas adverts is where KFC ignore their customers (again)in their desires for turkey

🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy. We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/victory-we...

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?” Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth. Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

I spotted this on my morning walk and would rather set sail down the Thames on this than board a real Saga cruise ship…

It’s hard to have confidence in a person who gulps their way through an interview whilst spewing right wing rhetoric… enter stage left Chris Philp

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests.

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

To those who can hear me I say … do not despair The misery that is now upon us is but the power of greed ….

Not much of a phone in @mrjamesob.bsky.social get this guy off

Nadine Dorries, "People can have whatever opinion they want of President Trump but he has delivered on this. As as businessman, a dealmaker" Dorries ignores Trump selling Israel $6 billion in weapons since he came into office, much of which is responsible for completely destroying parts of Gaza

Gary Neville, "Brexit has had a devastating impact on this country" "The messaging is getting dangerous" "All these idiots out there spreading hate speech in any form, abuse in any form, we must stop promoting them" "And get back to a country of love, peace and harmony" "And become a team again"

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights. Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs. Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights. archive.ph/eMg3O

“I think we’re struggling with Chris Philp there” says Lewis Goodhall on #LBC ….and so say all of us. You won’t find a clearer line for him than that!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Coming very soon. Please sign up! We can only do this together. We're starting small but we have big ambitions. Because if there's anything that the last few years have shown us, it's that we desperately need diverse, fearless INDEPENDENT media. www.thenerve.news

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle. Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

Wholly funded by donations, amazing work www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/t...

Campaign group Led By Donkeys beams a video with images of US President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto a tower at Windsor Castle. Trump is due in Windsor outside London on 17 September

Channel 4 to mark Trump's state visit by dissecting more than 100 of his lies, in what the channel describes as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”.

Thousands of tonnes of toxic landfill liquid added to sewage and spread on English farms. Chemicals going into food chain, water, waterways with deadly outcomes. Corporations boost profits. Regulators failing to protect health and the environment.

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder. Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.
