Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues. Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

An observation test for you - for your inner 8 year-old “The artist has hidden 12 things in this picture. How many can you find?” Treasure magazine, 1964 Official answers coming soon (Even if you don’t reply, could you please ‘like’ or share this one? 🙏)

And that’s the problem! Where, in the mainstream media, is the enthusiasm, the tooth and claw relish, for dismantling and exposing this snake oil peddling grifter? A shameful journalistic vacuum!

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

4D… 2D… I’m guessing T is limited to considering 1D… and I rather doubt it’s in any way impressive 🔬🤷🏼‍♂️

Think of a public service that matters to you… A Reform government would make it very much worse, charge for it, or abolish it. It’s that simple.

And thanks to you all, up to the 1,000 followers mark, just need another 32,000 to equal the old days in the other place now!

Fun fact. Trump watches are made in China. Trump just slapped a massive tariff on himself

Haha! Agreed, each person gets to figure out what "counts" as sex to them, and those definitions may/will not match up with others! Here's our take on What is Sex (for the time being! always up to evolve it): www.ohjoysextoy.com/what-is-sex/

Look, colour!!

The answer is no, Tom - people living* on the state pensions do not have it any “easier”, and pitting working young people against retired people is ludicrous and counterproductive. *Living is not the term I would use for trying to get by on maximum £230.25 per week.

This is a fascinating rabbit hole of a thread

The USA is letting a Muslim country build a military base on US soil. MAGA must be doing their nut.

Best to not actually pick up any alleged tear gas or smoke grenade or projectile. Too hot. And there’s been a lot of use of flashbangs. The misfire rate on them is not zero. Only a matter of time before some damn fool bleeds out because they lost a hand

True, this is what girls need. www.instagram.com/reel/DObal_G...

Correct

I am shocked that the President of the United States who has multiple felony convictions and is currently busy doing everything to undermine the judiciary and media in his own country while also threatening to invade Canada, Greenland and Panama did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rigged!

As true now as it was then.

I have discovered that women are more than capable of undertaking any task which requires physical strength or of learning any discipline which requires discernment and intelligence. Books which say otherwise were definitely not written by women. - Christine de Pizan, b. 1365

It's worth adding that Hamit Coskun is an asylum seeker - what Jenrick would call 'an illegal immigrant' - and one who has self-evidently 'got into trouble with the law in our country'. But to Jenrick, Coskun is clearly the right sort of 'illegal immigrant' in the right sort of trouble.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. #bbcqt

I haven't even read this yet and I'm screaming *NO!!!* at my phone. Seriously have people stopped *thinking* about adverse side effects? I'm sorry but this is a giant red flag for all kinds of reasons.

Can you imagine future American history books?

Once again, for those at the back… MPs receive a salary in the 🇬🇧 top 5%, they should be barred from ALL second incomes whatsoever and required to maintain a 95% attendance at the House of Commons (the state school attendance target IIRC)

How ANYONE here can see these things and still vote for this grotesque man in 2029 is beyond me. I genuinely believe they won't. He's not even TRYING to make it look like he's interested in us. But how to show that? Not everyone's endlessly scrolling BlueSky or reading the Mirror.

💯 And yes, I taught French and German in state schools for 20 years before moving to a local authority children’s services role.

I don’t think I can be alone in thinking that the Nobel committee should wait a bit to see if peace actually happens before awarding the appropriate prize. Like, 20 years

As someone who was recently prevented from boarding a flight from Chicago to the UK - a situation that took 3.5 weeks to sort, during which I nearly ran out of vital cancer medication - this frightens me. I have family in the US, but I'm increasingly hesitant to return... Be careful out there.

Alan Carr on Celebity Traitors is the funniest thing I’ve seen on TV in ages! Panic stricken, demented, sparkly, rainbow chaos hamster 😂😂😂

Robert Jenrick supports Hamit Coskun, charged and fined for the aggravated public order offence of burning a religious text (The Quran) in public. Would his attitude be similar for the burning of The (Christian) Bible or The Hebrew Bible? (I think no books, religious or otherwise, should be burned.)

It’s not the teachers that are convincing kids that you’re racist, Nige, it’s your actions, words and policies.

We all know that Nigel was educated outside the state sector that educates 90+% of children. I suspect he barely knows anyone who was state school educated or whose children attend state schools.

I’m hoping that @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social will finally be able to answer 2 questions that have bothered me for years; what is the contemporary written source for this popular archery myth? How, in this period, did were minutes timed precisely? Waiting…

The consensus is that these Trump watches are either partly or wholly made in China and are being sold at a grotesquely inflated price. There's currently a 34% tariff on Chinese watches which means that MAGA fans are paying well over the odds for cobbled together crap with Trump's name on it.

Reading this post from a recently opened coffeeshop enclosed by surprisingly transparent plywood.

Hans was a clean boy.

All the chat this week about how the Tories are “no longer a serious party” reminds me of this, which I put together just to show how wacky and disastrous Theresa May’s first few months in office were. Not all of this was their fault, but the summary is worth reviewing.

This is apart from all this, fitting successor to Johnson therefore: www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/all...

Bill Jenrick (father) LinkedIn: "I served a 5 year apprenticeship at AEI Manchester and qualified as a Management accountant. Then I worked as an accountant...." Robert Jenrick (son) : "...gas fitters like my dad"

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture. It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

Just another day of Reform making things up as they go along.

When Kemi Badenoch called for a British version of ICE, is this the sort of thing she had in mind?

@profaliceroberts.bsky.social isn't due to start for a good 15 mins yet, but this hall already looks fuller than any at the Tory Party Conference.

If only someone had warned us that leaving the world’s biggest single market might make us vulnerable to, you know, markets. But we wanted to “take back control.” Congratulations - we’ve taken it all the way back to the 1970s.

One of the great pleasures of field archery is seeing the course changing with the turning of the seasons, just now the fungi are amazing! This one caught my eye because at first glance it looked like an owl crouching in the leaf litter 😃
