If a political party has links to the US Christian Right - like Reform does - it's coming for abortion rights: plain as the nose on your face.

This is what Farage, Reform and Brexit have done. This is where a very ugly obsession with immigration leads. To this. To “appalling levels of racism and unfair treatment.” To ordinary people being made miserable, day in, day out, at work. What a shameful place to be.

I’m amazed anyone needs reminding of this, but local government spending power per person fell by 18% from 2010 to 2024 (would have been 26% but for increases in council tax). At the same time, social care pressures on local govt have grown a lot. The decay of the public realm is NOT a mystery

By forcing a vote on oil & gas the Tories are wasting valuable time that should be spent working cross-party to plan for the energy transition & future-proofing jobs. There is no future in fossil fuels. Pretending otherwise fails workers, billpayers & the next generation.

The BBC has done a lot of industrious investigation into migrants recently. I wish they could put a fraction of that energy into investigating the dodgy dealings of Farage & his cronies, but that doesn’t seem to fit their apparent aims i.e. destabilising our Government.

If Burnham doesn't fight his by-election on returning to at least the Single Market, then even if he wins, he won't have beaten the Reform narrative. He'll just have pandered to it again and painted himself into a corner like Starmer has. After 10 years of Brexit, we want and demand more from Labour

It is astonishing* that Angela Rayner's tax affairs - in which the Standards Commissioner found her to have acted "in good faith", in an attempt to protect her disabled son - is STILL a bigger story than Farage trousering £5 million in secret or Tice's taxes. *It's not astonishing, but should be.

Le Pen and Farage are old friends. They were both MEPs together. They took money from the EU, but did no work for it in return. Le Pen has since been convicted for embezzlement. It's time Farage's finances were put under the microscope too.

Sorry for the plug but I feel obliged to reshare this. Farage told a podcast before running for election: “There’s no money in politics, there’s no money if you’re straight [i.e. not corrupt]." Around the time he got £5 million from a crypto billionaire before going on to back crypto deregulation.
