True Other than Brexit, all current uk problems stem from thatcher!! Privatisation has failed Economy broken Inequity leading to breakdown in society and division Lack of housing Lack of wealth fund because oil was sold off for pittens A truly terrible prime minister Reform would repeat it

I was responsible for this (it was literally my idea while I was Product Manager for Media Playout at the BBC) and it is still my proudest achievement ever

Scottish Reform leader's charity is breaking the law - and must comply with regulator

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to avoid all media interviews during an important by-election. What did I say Roy?" "You said the cowardly little shit's in hiding because of his dodgy financial dealings"

The neverending story of Nigel, his house and money: 💩Said he bought his Clacton house himself 💩Then said he didn't need to do constituency work because security services told him not to 💩Then claimed his partner bought the house

You can set your watch by this stuff.

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

If the Green f this up for the country,they will not be forgiven. Burnham supports electoral reform. The Greens have much more to gain by his win than by making this another progressive tragedy.

Can someone explain to me why I'm supposed to be so terrified of Chinese products gathering some loose data on me when the entire American economy is based on every company that exists doing that same thing to me

Today is the 41st anniversary of the Bradford City fire, one of English football's darkest days: 56 supporters were killed in the disaster. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of all those affected today. #BCAFC

BREAKING - Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will launch an investigation into Farage's £5m donation.

The great irony of the Welsh success of Reform, run by millionaire ex-public schoolboys, is that one the greatest Welshmen, & founder of the NHS, warned of this “How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies whole art of Tory politics” Aneurin Bevan

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

BBC Projected National Share of the vote for the local elections with the change from last year. Despite the fanfare in the media for Reform this echoes their steady decline in the polls. Reform 26% -4 Green 18% +7 Labour 17% -3 Conservative 17% +2 Lib Dems 16% -1

The state of it

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Today’s a victory for BBC’s relentless appeasement of far right, for Labour Together which prefers Farage cos they can say “vote for us because we ‘re not Reform”, for our bigoted press - but I will NOT despair & I will stand up for those who woke up feeling more threatened by the hate in the world

Ooh. Just stumbled across my two favoured teams playing each other ont telly. Whoever wins I'm happy. Glos v Sale

On the positive side, it’s a great day for my new jackboot-making business.

He's not wrong. But it only matters if: A) Voters pay any attention to local government (they don't) B) The media holds Reform to account (they don't)

A “hero voter” is an older, white Brexiter apparently. “Hero” FGS. Building your governing strategy around the prejudices and fears of that narrow-minded demographic is doomed. We’ve been pandering to Brexiters for a decade and it’s been utterly shit. Maybe the rest of us could get a look-in now.

NEWS! Nation's brightest minds to vote for local official in charge of potholes based on whether they promise to “Stop The Boats”

Local elections like today are your chance to vote for councillors that will focus on & fix local issues. These elections are not about national issues or our Westminster Government. With this in mind, make your vote count for your local area, don’t waste it by doing a protest vote!

Keep Britain Kind

Anyone who votes for this party knows what they are voting for and every single one of them is deserving of our utter contempt. It should be as socially unacceptable to vote for them as it was to vote BNP 20 years ago.

If it didn't affect so many people's lives, it'd be grimly amusing to watch all these Reform councils collapsing as they slowly realise that they can't actually save millions, deliver tax cuts AND fix potholes by sacking a Diversity Officer and banning rainbow lanyards.

One political leader made hissing noises behind his Jewish classmates; another is actually Jewish. Guess who our billionaire owned press accuses of anti-Semitism? (Hint: it's the one who wants wealth taxes.)

Don’t give a shit whether I’m paid in pounds or euros, both will get spent. Pilsner give a toss if the pound goes as part of rejoining. Shouldn’t have left in the first place. Who seriously gives a fuck if sterling is replaced by euros makes absolutely no fucking difference down the shop

The former Mayor of Abingdon is to attempt to break the world long distance Morris Dancing record - 200 miles along the Thames Path, from London to Abingdon and back, this May. Duncan Bhaskaran Brown is raising money for six charities along the way.

Reform UK’s battle bus was in Kirby this weekend. You’d think that with all those massive foreign cash bungs, they could at least afford an MOT.

"Dear Diary, I was due to be on the Laura Kuenssberg show today, but pulled out because my blend of hot air, lies, corruption and fantasy bollocks would collapse under even the mildest scrutiny"

Sun rise safely secured. Am now back in bed having driven, danced, sung, driven and heartily breakfasted... Phew!

I am simply appalled. No words.

Yes Shameful

I have a strict policy of NEVER giving Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt. I assume he's corrupt and lying until proven otherwise. I challenge anyone to convince me this is unfair or unjustified.

Our brave Stephen Miller is using his pregnant wife as a human shield.

**Low rated President

The president of the United States is intentionally weakening our military. This is exactly what Putin wants him to do. This is treasonous. ✊🏼💙⚖️

Just been giving the back garden its first mow of the year. Tried mentally totting up how many times I've grudgingly pushed my unwieldy mower up and down this plot of land over the 30 years we've been in this house. I can't do sums that big in my head.

Real... You can't make this Sh*t Up..🤡

It feels a bit wrong selling Red Nose Day noses on Amazon when we probably wouldn't need Red Nose Day if those fuckers paid their proper tax.

A bit of sparkle on this sunny Friday. Photograph taken this morning on Glastonbury Tor shortly after sunrise.

Your annual reminder that William Shakespeare was born in what is now Turkey, never visited England and almost certainly could not read or write in English.
