Well done @iandunt.bsky.social for not letting Reform cllr Alex Wilson take the high ground for what Farage did.

🎯 Unite general secretary Sharon Graham: “The reality is that Nigel Farage has shown no indication to me that he’s the voice of workers. He voted against the Employment Rights Act, for example."

Appears that Johnson’s producer tells her that Goodwin’s comments have to be ‘withdrawn from the record’, presumably because they are racist. What they did expect from a man of his calibre? A rational, evidence-based analysis provided in good faith?

Ah. Here it is... Politico: "The sudden departure of Chris Kennedy, the Green Party’s candidate in Makerfield, came after the Times’ Bill Curtis uncovered he had reposted content on his social media describing an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London as a “false flag.”" He apologised and quit

Meanwhile, for all those who broke the country, the grift keeps on grifting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hughie Stirling, 68 was kidnapped last night by Israel in international waters and he is being illegally held hostage. The Media is barely reporting it, I hope you will get the message out, and get him home from these evil terrorists.

“Tommy Robinson’s” supporters are marching through London. But this is not just happening on the streets. It is happening on livestreams, YouTube channels, search results, social feeds and the online spaces where the far right try to control the story.

I honestly think banning MPs' second jobs is the single most powerful immediate thing the Govt could do to dent Reform support. It's the right thing to do. It would be a strong move (and message) in cleaning up politics. And it would shine a light on the person hit hardest: Nigel Farage.

Ok.. predictable jibe… but also quite twatty in light of the bigger picture and what could be achieved for the country with some grown-up, responsible cooperation between progressive parties.

Good to see we’re controlling our borders against the wrong sort of people. Eleven 'far-right agitators' banned from UK ahead of rally, government says www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

To me, these small moments are more revealing than any long essay on impartiality. Every gov't has released official PM photos for decades. Since 2010 there's been a dedicated 10DS photographer. Several Tory PMs controversially employed personal ones on top. Only a Lab PM would be treated this way.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne? We can hear your strings being pulled.

Ignore the Reform hype – Farage’s party is going backwards. 📝 My election analysis 👇

Monday election update: 1 Reform councillor fired, 1 Reform councillor ran away, and 1 Reform councillor might not exist. Waveney Valley's George Alexander Jonathan Boyd is an AI generated image. No A-V, no sightings, no trace except for agent's address. Why aren't the news media all over this?

@warrenoates1.bsky.social have you seen this graphic? bsky.app/profile/csav...

If Labour MP's feel the need to give press interviews why don't they talk about the achievements to date. Here's a handly wee graphic for them to use, an unprecedented achievement in less than 2 years.

If you like data, here is something interesting for you: Bridget Phillipson interview on LK: 9m 40" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 31 Richard Tice interview on LK: 8m 23" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 9

Philipson trying hard to explain how Reform is full of racists and fruitcakes that are pulling at the fabric of our society - Kuennsberg not interested, taking over her and dismissing her. The BBC are a big part of the problem - and why Nandy hasn't addressed it I'll never know.

Labour won the '97 General Election with a 179-seat majority. In council elections in '99 they lost 1,150 seats and a year later lost 574 more. But in 2001, their general election majority was 166. Thursday may be a shit show for Labour. But local elections are no indicator of national polling.

I mean, to be fair, it is almost three weeks since he last passed himself off as the literal son of god.

Labour has already delivered more manifesto pledges than Reform UK has total policies www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lab...

The Government makes daily announcements in press releases, makes videos, goes on TV and Radio. The press cover parliament and know what has been done. But media ignores it all. Labour are doing all they can. Check Full Fact for info (Not an AI). fullfact.org/government-t...

Guess we've moved on from Mandelson failed vetting leak...

That’s out by nearly 60%.! And the BBC‘s own Verify team could have set them straight. But where is the equivalent public correction?

Thousands of candidates are expected to stand for Reform UK in May. The party claims they have the best vetting going. So why are people like this slipping through? 👇🧵

“On Tuesday, the Energy Secretary gave a speech with one overriding message: “Every solar panel we put up, every wind turbine we build, every heat pump we install, every EV on the road makes our country more secure.”

Trump envoy seeks to replace Iran with Italy in upcoming World Cup ft.trib.al/3HAGfpw

Andrew Mahon, standing in the Blackburn South East ward, is a fan of Oswald Mosley, who founded and led the British Union of Fascists. On 9 December 2024, he posted that Mosley “was right”, adding that “we need an educational correction” and “multiculturalism has failed”.

Bereaved family members of Covid victims write to Nigel Farage urging him to sack his Croydon candidate who said COVID was a "staged event" by the US military, with vaccines used to control the population. Reform has not responded to our story revealing his views bylinetimes.com/2026/04/15/r...

But neither determine what data Palantir is capable of seeing, does see, extracting if it is so minded (legitimately or not) or what metadata Palantir sees and is capable of extracting and mashing with its multiple other databases from multiple sources and rebuilding.

Trump stiffed the lawyer who cross-examined Stormy Daniels in his trial - never paid her bill.

Reform Essex activist who hosted Nigel Farage at his tanning salon is also a Nazi superfan who believes that "Hitler was right." Excellent work from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/n...

Nigel Farage gets the welcome he deserves in Suffolk having to be hurried away from the crowd calling him a 'fascist freakshow'.

Strongest words yet from Keir Starmer on UK role in Iran conflict: "This is not our war, and we are not getting dragged into this war."

I know people are sceptical about journalism right now but this is the kind of story that takes weeks to get to the bottom of. I hope people see the value in what we do

That’s quite an endorsement. Thank you. #StrongMessageHere

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war. Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

Nigel Farage heckled at a press conference. He responds: "Oh sorry darling are you having a rough morning? Did you get out on the wrong side of bed? You always get the odd screamer at these events. Go back to work. I did say go back to work, but of course she hasn't got a job has she"
