Thanks, Nige. Another consequence of your hated-fuelling outbursts and 'policies'. #RUK #Fartage www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Most Europeans are too naive to realize that Ukrainian soldiers like these are the only thing standing between us and Russian troops. If we want to avoid fighting Russia inside the EU, we need to support Ukraine more and ensure that Russia is defeated

Utterly mad - shows how much work the #Starmer administration has to do.

WHAT. A. MAN. #UTV

Polarise, populise and mislead. The three simple tactics of a post-truth populist politician. The antidote is for everything to get called out; everything! Attacking #Fartage and #RUK on issues of clarity and truth is the best way to keep his kind out of power. We ALL have responsibility to do this.

"The drone strike likely never happened. Peskov said Russia could provide no evidence, and urged the press to take the Kremlin’s word for it. No, we won’t. Putin’s entire war is a lie. Just as he did in Alaska, Putin was offered peace and instead spat in America's eye."

As soon as Labour got in we had the Farage riots, this year it’s flags on lampposts and constant coverage of asylum seekers despite a massive drop in net migration threatening the economy. It’s been the right wing media driving a far right agenda and Farage and his like reaping the rewards.

This is both entirely correct and misses the point completely, which is that the 'online weirdos" are effectively writing Conservative and Reform policy & have significantly influenced the government's own worst and most xenophobic policies. Trump should have taught us not to laugh this stuff off.

Jeremy Clarkson complains about no village Doctor, no village shops, no village schools, no bobby. This is the same Jeremy Clarkson who loves Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron who made all these things happen with their cuts. They love complaining about what they voted for.

Hemmings and Borland look like real central MF contenders for the next few years, if Emery gives them enough gametime. #AVFC

Arse spent a net £263m in the summer. Arteta's spent a net £900m in total. Since Unai arrived, our net spend is €48m. Arsenal have spent €463m in that time. Hats off to a great winning run. Now let's start a new one. #UTV #AVFC

Has he thought this one through?

In France, every available publicly-owned roof is being panelled, even bus stops & cycle sheds. Why? - 'cos panels are relatively cheap and France has a well-invested national grid and excellent sub-station networks. French electric bills went up by only 4% in 2022; cf the UK's sharp price hikes.

Oh, the irony - he's pissing on the memorial stone of PC Keith Palmer who died in the Westminster terrorist attack of March 2017. Such respect for English law enforcement!! Is there no end to this madness?!! #Reform #thugs #respect

I had this very conversation yesterday with an acquaintance who believes the #UK is becoming an #Islamist state. When challenged, she - normally a sensible / intelligent person - got upset 'cos she believes immigration is out of control. Oh, and she's "not racist, just concerned".

The question this raises is: who will do the actual work required to maintain living standards and get stuff done on a daily basis?! - cleansing the population has consequences ... it's all completely wrong; morally, economically and socially.

Politicians are terrified of an electorate they think is far more authoritarian and angry and right wing than it actually is, because they are out of touch because the literal media - the thing that mediates between public and polity - is corrupted

In 2016 we allowed oligarch run media & Russian stooges convince us to vote to become the first country that imposes economic sanctions on itself, turn our back on our neighbours and run to other foreign powers who are rubbing their hands in delight as they see our negotiating position crumble.

Ironically, the #UK were intrinsically involved in setting EU food standards, writing pollution regs, etc. We were fully-invested in the things that the #EU do, to our advantage. 'Taking back control' led to eschewing the things that helped us as citizens. Utter madness of Lewis Carroll proportions.

Ffs. More insanity. Before Brexit, most of the UK enjoyed beautiful, clean beaches, safe rivers and sea, and sensible people were grateful for safe, strict EU food regulations. Fxxk off Trump. Never trust his mad deals. food.ec.europa.eu/horizontal-t...

It’s time to get that Customs Union sorted ,or better still rejoin the EU, so that we do not become reliant on a poor trade deal with the U.SA 🇺🇸 #RejoinEU🇪🇺

Brexiters didn’t win the argument in the first place. They bought brexit with a criminal overspend using stolen data, targeting undecided voters with millions of lying dark ads. They lied throughout. Not “losing the argument”; voters seeing the lies for what they were thecritic.co.uk/brexiteers-a...

Wrapped in the Union Jack, Thatcher and the Tories sold off your water like junkies selling the TV. Now it’s owned abroad by Malaysians who don’t know Wessex exists. Absolute con.

If a young man [of fighting age], unable to speak basic english, is able to make the perilous crossing of the Channel in a small boat in mid winter, take your job, romance your girlfriend and buy your dream home from under you, you need to think about upgrading your basic skills.

This is the reason #Putin is so keen on #Ukraine - rich in precious metals and primary resources. Ignore the stated aims, follow the money. As with the #MangoMussolini (aka #TheDonald).

Yes, but no problem if you're an MP who was sent to prison for beating up his girlfriend.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

What an utter cocksocket people like #Dyson and #Radcliffe are: arrogant self-entitlement and a total lack of appreciation for society.

Keep the pressure up, folks. youtube.com/shorts/WixMz...

Wise words from a super Swede.

A reminder that although Farage is not keen on renewables and off shore wind farms , he loves an off shore tax avoidance scheme.

Former Netanyahu spokesperson Eli Feldstein, reports that Netanyahu tasked him with a secret plan to help him evade responsibility for the October 7th attack.

The Epstein files on the DOJ website allow you to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden. You can also press Ctrl+F and search for “Trump ” (with a space) to see his name appear more than 600 times. #OpDeathEaters

Morning Prime Minister... This is what speaking out against fascism looks like. As opposed to offering it state visits... 🤮

Just looked up the word "resilience" in the dictionary and this is what I found

Look, this lot lied to you about BREXIT when they were UKIP, they lied to you about investing in the NHS as Tories, they lied to you throughout the COVID crisis,... so why on earth are people surprised they lied to get elected as Reform? They are effin', grifting, evil liars. Don't vote for them!

Today's story about the Trump administration sanctioning European anti-disinformation campaigners and politicians emphasises what I argue here. They're out to get us. open.substack.com/pub/davidaar...

Very well summarised - the #Brexit shitshow really needs to end.

Lads…and lasses Do this if you need to, please 🙏 andysmanclub.co.uk

Unai and his poor, ill treated coat.

Left: Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a placard in London Right: Labour's Baron Hain, "This gov is treating Palestine action as equivalent to ISIS or al-Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. I'm deeply ashamed"

Once again, #Trump playing the #Putin playbook: let's try and grab territory and see whether the rest of the World shakes itself out of a torpor and actually give a f*ck.

Absolutely love this pic

Aston Villa have won 10 consecutive matches as a top-flight team for the first time since March 1914. UNREAL. #AVFC

The transatlantic alliance has always been an unequal partnership but when it means even more cowtowing to #Trump, it's dead. As the world gets smaller and the power-balance shifts Eastward, a stronger EU-UK is the only obvious choice. How to give the EU political entity more teeth? is the question.

It's rich to invoke "Western Civilisation" in the context of #Trump! - what does he add to the 'civilised world'?! Trump is mimicking his ol' mucker #Putin in calling for EU disintegration. The #Trump-PutinShow is back! Time for EU-UK to build more backbone into Europe, not accept weakening.

How do the charlatan #Tories manage 22% ?! Unbelievable, Jeff!

For all of Farage’s bombast and bravado, Reform is basically just a retirement home for disgraced Tories - and the media should be reporting it as such
