Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Coming to a town near you.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Accused of Fabricating Evidence For Data Breach Investigation bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/n...

Gosh. What a surprise.

Deeply concerning allegations.

Nigel Farage has made 10 trips to US since the General Election. A week ago he was in Mar-a-lago. #AnywhereButClacton

Nigel Farage’s Head of Comms, Ed Sumner told staff working for Reform UK’s MS Laura Jones to ‘diddle’ her mileage claims. Last year police investigated allegations of expenses fraud.

Nigel Farage slammed over plot to turn millions into 'second class citizens' Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has come under fire after pledging to ban EU citizens from claiming benefits - a move TUC boss Paul Nowak has branded 'plain wrong' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Tom Brufatto: “Farage’s plans are designed to jeopardise the progress being made on the UK’s relationship with the EU, the result of which would further impede businesses trading with Europe, and push up prices for voters already struggling.” www.bestforbritain.org/farage_s_pla...

This story about a Reform councillor in Northumberland has about three different massive stories in it. He's accused of ripping off his constituents to the tune of £140k. He owes his own council nearly £40k in unpaid tax. His own council is suing him.

Hey Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf & Linden Kemkaran, remember when you sent this letter? How’s that going?

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering. Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Has everyone forgotten that there is a difference between an economic migrant and a refugee?

Here are some facts about the asylum plans that I've found in various sources (mainly the Guardian). Rather than being negative about it all, identify the parts you don't like & discuss alternatives. There are many things people have said they want to see & others which are being misreported. 1/6

Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

“The new evidence suggests that Prescott’s memo lends weight to the concerns of BBC insiders that its use was choreographed as part of a wider attack on the corporation by forces aligned with the US President.” Details on the coordinated transatlantic effort to dismantle the BBC:

Here’s what you won’t hear from some commentators on social media: in the year to October, London recorded 10,000 fewer violent crimes leading to injury than it did in the twelve months before I was elected. More on the progress we’re making ⬇️ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot. You absolute moron.

Those talking about government U-turns. Can you please explain how you can u-turn on something you haven’t yet announced. @skynewsrss.bsky.social

Former Corby Reform councillor appears in court to deny racism offences www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/...

Wow.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and Farage is egging him on. To all those who love the BBC, now is the time to speak up.

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company." The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

Oh. #CareHomes #SocialCare #WellBeing

“Spineless.” That’s how Keir Starmer described Nigel Farage after he refused to answer for his councillor’s words about children in care. Kerrie Portman digs into what happened in Cambridgeshire. eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/welfare...

🔴Reform Councillor Accused of Flouting Transparency Rules After Refusing to Declare His Company Councillor in flagship Reform council failed to register his firm, or respond to questions about it from his constituent, prompting a formal complaint bylinetimes.com/2025/11/13/r...

Farage aka Mini Trump strikes again! Reform would put a woman's right to choose at risk. #NeverVoteReform #NeverFarage

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Meanwhile, in the Losers Corner:

Reform MS faces 14-day Senedd ban over racial slur www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Farage has dropped out of BBC film following BBC row. Good. Access journalism is client journalism. The BBC should make a film about Reform whether or not Farage chooses to ‘sit down’ with Laura Kuensberg. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I support Sir Keir Starmer. He is our PM and must remain as PM. This speculation about his future needs to stop. The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

The Cyber Security & Resilience Bill will be introduced to Parliament in the Commons today. We've all seen how our public services & businesses can be crippled by cyber attacks, costing £15b a year. This bill aims to help protect our key services like the NHS, transport & energy from attacks. 1/3

Reinvesting in the NHS The next phase of merging NHS England directly into the DHSC has been given the go ahead. This alone is expected to lead to £1bn in savings per year, which will be reinvested into front line health services. This is on top of a record £29bn increase in health funding. 1/2

School attendance In their 1st year, Labour efforts saw school attendance in England increase by 5.3m days, with 140k fewer persistently absent pupils. The state of attendance they inherited was abysmal. It has improved. But it's not enough. So they are launching a new attendance roadmap. 1/2

Farage is a GB news shareholder and is paid through a private company for his appearances on the channel. So, here he is shit-stirring with Trump over the BBC and grifting his nasty little arse off… There is really nothing of ours he won’t ruin to grab for power and wealth for himself. (iPaper+LFF)

"This entire saga has a smell hanging over it. The people of Teesside, Hartlepool and Darlington are no fools. That smell will not go away until there is a full, transparent and independent inquiry."

🚨UPDATE WITH COMMENT FROM THE BBC: Byline Times can confirm that of the four-person BBC panel that interviewed Prescott and made the decision to appoint him as an advisor, three of them had longstanding Conservative Party ties. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

WTF is Farage on Sky News sky news again for? Rammed down our throats on a daily basis. Shocking stuff.

Nothing says you’re the party of small business like taking £200k off Lord Bamford, who cares so much about the little guy that he’s being investigated for potentially £500million in offshored tax. Reform UK don’t care about small business.

One nation under Trump. Reform UK has no ideas of its own, just MAGA.

Reform says Kent CC is their "shop window", where the country can see what a Farage gov't would be like. Well... chaos, suspensions, defections, paralysis, zero "DOGE" savings, tax rises, and a leader making mad-dictator speeches, sounds about right. ~AA www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Meanwhile, in Reform's Lancashire CC, the councillor in charge of care homes, owns a private care home, and is closing council care homes. 👀 A resident’s son, a Reform party member, said any move would “kill” his mother. ~AA #NeverThoughtTheLeopards www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage’s local refuk: Reform’s Warwickshire leader Finch wants to scrap school transport for SEND kids, forcing them to walk miles. Parents call it cruel and heartless, another example of Reform’s nasty streak, punishing the vulnerable to save a few quid. #ukpolitics

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Reform leader branded “captain chaos” as Kent fire authority in disarray www.fbu.org.uk/news/2025/11...

This should go everywhere- and far beyond “us”, because we understand the horrors of this. Amazingly - many don’t.
