Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

BP Pulse charges between 44p and 89p (inc 20% VAT) per kWh to charge your car. Domestic electricity - which includes cost of environmental subsidies and 5% VAT - costs 25.73p. Wholesale price currently 7.9p before VAT. Someone is being ripped off by someone!

Reinstating the winter fuel allowance is vital, but Farage’s plan to pay for it by cutting the Net Zero budget is madness - locking us into *higher* energy bills by increasing reliance on costly gas imports, rather than supporting cheaper green energy to get bills down for all of us 🙄

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, ‘levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power? No. You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out “the lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.

The gulf between what London is actually like & how it is portrayed by terminally online, self-styled ‘patriots’ & their political heroes is absolutely incredible. I wonder how much it has to do with the city repeatedly electing a Muslim mayor… www.timeout.com/london/news/...

Wake-up call… Lincolnshire has suffered some of the worst flooding in its history in recent years Lincolnshire’s newly elected Reform council has abolished the flooding committee This is who they are Please wake up to this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A reminder about how much the Brexiteers cared about fishing before it became a talisman for their idiotic campaign. Nigel Farage attended only 1 of 42 meetings when he was appointed to the EU fisheries committee www.google.com/amp/s/descri...

The best way to honour the generation of 1945 would be to rebuild the NHS and the welfare state they voted overwhelmingly to bring about

Why are politicians managing to destroy the NHS? Because people don’t understand what they’re doing. The media doesn’t explain it properly. So we plan to… PLEASE HELP 🥰💙🌟 Let’s hit this crowdfund goal and get started. Are you in? We can do this together!🥰🌟 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-our-n...

This one’s doing the rounds…

To those saying ‘the NHS is a bottomless pit of money’ please take a look at this graph from the commonwealth fund, (an independent think tank in Washington that assesses different healthcare systems) in 2024. We spend less than many comparable countries on health.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

The obvious solution is to hire some, and then fire them.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right. Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist. Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

If eating scotch eggs in an Austin Allegro had a face.

Keep going everyone 👏

What do you do if you find a baby bird out of the nest?

2025: "Brexit costs and red tape denying NHS cancer patients life-saving drugs" 2018: Brexiter Gisela Stuart, "It is important to knock on the head this notion that we didn't know what we were doing.. I know exactly what I was doing" She's now sat -unelected - in the House of Lords

Bannon the latest in the “Britain doesn’t manufacture anything” brigade. It’s a lazy trope you hear repeated in the media a lot. In fact the UK remains the 8th or 9th biggest manufacturer in the world. 10% of our GDP with some of the most advanced manufacturing anywhere.

57% of Britons would rather have the EU as a close trading partner than the US, amid suggestion that closer alignment with Europe could endanger a trade deal with the US EU: 57% (+4 from 21 Jan) US: 16% (-5) yougov.co.uk/topics/econo...

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Max Hastings in The Times today does one of the best jobs so far of properly chronicling the USA's breakneck descent into fascism. I don't think a single person will be aware of *all* the evidence. (I know about paywalls & the mixed records of all pundits so please don't feel the need to remind me!)

All a bit gloomy this one - @therestpolitics.bsky.social on USA mayhem. Tariffs of course but also the many signs of slide to authoritarianism. Then similar themes in Israel not least seeming impunity over Red Crescent killings alastaircampbell.org/2025/04/392-...

If anything sums up the dignity & bravery of the last government it is seeing Michael Fabricant introducing himself on a new heavyweight current affairs programme. I still believe Michael with his great intellect & ability is still destined for one of the great offices of state.

Mark Carney says he has 'seen this movie before', and believes that the US economy is heading for a Brexit-style downturn www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/us-...

It is with profound sadness that we relay news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Clem Burke following a private battle with cancer. (1/7)

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

Thanks a lot 👍🏼👍🏼
