Received a beautiful photo from my brother today. He's in Italy with his son and grandson and they're visiting my Dad who inexplicably at 98, looks younger than ever. Perfect it being remembrance Sunday as Dad fought in the war (no jokes about the Italian army please, he was literally a kid).

I see Liz Truss gets her annual day out for her 49 days of fucking up the country.

Anyone remember the time Boris Johnson turned up looking like a bag of rubbish and laid the wreath upside down. And the next time the ƁBC showed the footage, it showed a completely different ceremony and him laying a different wreath? When people noticed and complained, they said it was a mistake.

“In the last year of the Conservative Government alone, 115 prisoners were released in error, including a series of serious offenders. “At no point did this fact ever make the front pages of British newspapers, or lead news bulletins on the BBC.”

They are not impressed by the fireworks ... #Caturday

let this never be forgotten or brushed under the carpet. The Tories enriched themselves and their mates during the pandemic while my patients and colleagues were dying.

It’s as if they think we’ve all been in a coma for the last 15 years, rather than watching the Tories smash it all up in front of us. Very good on our ‘let’s-not-bother-with-right-wing-racism-or-Farage’s-corruption-and-let’s-blame-Labour-for-everything’ media. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-great-...

Yep. And to think that so many people think this man is some sort of hero is such a sign of our twisted times.

How ever since Labour came to power, the British media has started to notice a whole series of problems they spent the previous 14 years completely ignoring www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-great-...

After listening to radio four earlier, it's reassuring to know that Lee Anderson is still an absolute fucking cunt.

Happy Friday everyone (except Tories and Reform voters who can get to fuck). We've drunk the wine already....

Hold on to this story and when the next election arrives it will speak for itself conveying just how useless they will be when it actually comes to running anything. Let's hope the media does the same too i.e. tell the truth about Farage.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

oh gosh very sad to hear Pauline Collins has died.

Which one is more English?

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone made £65m selling faulty PPE to the Government. HMRC now wants £39m in unpaid tax — and we think we know why: Barrowman and Mone may have avoided tax on their £65m profit.

The SNP has renewed its call for disgraced Baroness Michelle Mone to be stripped of her peerage after it emerged that a company linked to her and her husband owes £39 million in tax

An important week for #LabourAchievements. I’m especially happy with 2 new National Forests and the Gov working with Airbnb to help victims of abuse. Labour #FixingBritain

I just don't get this obsession from the (far) Right with being pure English. Surely I can be patriotic and love my country (difficult as that is, at times) despite being a good old mix and surely as an island that has been invaded many times over the centuries, that is what we all are.

The irony of Robert Jenrick accusing the Government of a dereliction of duty ... ##R4today

Keir Starmer: "Every child should have the opportunity to develop passions that enrich their lives and learn skills needed for a successful career. The curriculum will reflect this: raising standards in subjects like Maths and English, whilst recognising the importance of creative subjects."

Nigel Farage facing parliamentary standards probe over 'Trump fundraising visit'

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone. Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

Mamdani's election in New York feels seismic. At last a tiny ray of hope in an increasingly bleak world. The thought that Trump must be apoplectic is also extremely heartening.

Need to take a moment to realise how significant this is— a major political leader and leader of the third largest party in Parliament putting their neck on the line in this way to criticise the BBC, saying what we are all thinking. This movement is gathering the momentum. #UKPolitics #BBC

Samir Zitouni the rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during mass stabbing on a train, “critically unwell“ in hospital is who Farage/Reform/Lowe & Tory Katie Lam would deport.. Lucy Connelly convicted for race hate is what right wing view as a hero He saved lives she wanted them taken❗️

The Government will table legislation to disregard and pardon child prostitution convictions after a sickening failure of justice. Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips said “youngsters who faced appalling sexual exploitation were let down by the system in so many ways".

A handy graph to visualise what ‘man of the people’ Farage rakes in per year now from his various grifts compared with the annual salary of an 18-20-year-old on minimum wage, and he thinks they earn too much, while ‘earning’ about 7x more than the actual Prime Minister.

So this is Labour's response to Farage's speech this morning - but put out this afternoon across all the channels they are active on. Very good Labour, very good!

You’d need a heart of gammon not to laugh…

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

Reform has (to date) lost 36 out of 677 councillors. The attrition rate of first time councillors would be pro rata equivalent of a party electing 330 MPs in 2029 but losing 20 of its MPs in the first year. (Farage has lost 1/3 of the 6 MPs his party have gained in 2024-25)

This from @lewisgoodall.com

My little cat brought a mouse in and my big cat took it off her and swallowed it whole, causing him to nearly choke. We've just spent 10 minutes trying to retrieve a dead mouse from his throat. So how's your Sunday been?

Like attracts like ...

Reform has lost over 5% of councillors it had elected six months ago A @matildamartin.bsky.social deep dive into the councils won by Farage's party in May found what a local government expert called "unusual" levels of churn Exclusions, suspensions and resignations have taken place nationwide

😏 Private Eye

Anderson back to remind us what a disgusting creep he is.

Bromsgrove South (Worcestershire) Council By-Election Result: 🔶 LDM: 51.9% (+20.3) ➡️ RFM: 33.4% (-1.5) 🌳 CON: 11.3% (-5.8) 🌹 LAB: 3.4% (-4.1) No GRN (-5.5) or Ind (-3.4) as previous. Liberal Democrat GAIN from Reform. Changes w/ 2025.

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term www.gov.uk/government/p...

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

He only just noticed??

This is better than expected ...

Farage doesn't give a shit about these women. He's using them.

Oh gosh, to go back on manifesto pledges is such a bad thing now is it? Just read what the Tories did during their horrendous time in power! www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

Reform MP Sarah Pochin not in the chamber today for #PMQs it must be because seeing our faces makes her mad…

ICYMI: On a story in the Tele that the Covid Inquiry has cost £192million Nigel Farage said: "This is an outrageous cost and there will be no conclusion for years. It should be wound up quickly and conclusively.” Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK calls the comments a "disgusting insult" 1/x
