It seems pretty clear to me now: Keir Starmer would rather lose to Reform than to the Labour left, which is his real enemy. Any policy that might recover lost ground with voters has to be struck down, as it looks like a concession to the Labour left. And he and his team cannot contemplate that.

Worried about rising bills and getting by? Keir Starmer has the answer: try chewing a flag! | Aditya Chakrabortty

“What’s that Nigel? You want me to defect to Reform and have a lucrative incentive for me”

I guess the BBC news will be headlining the Greens getting 3,000 members in 24 hours sometime never.. But is 5 people join Reform it’ll be breaking news

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Twitter BANNED the creator of this ad because it moves voters 7 pts toward Dems. Voters are DISGUSTED by Trump’s gestapo kidnapping US citizens in Portland and Chicago. SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE

Britain has long been racist: things were slowly getting better–then Brexit let loose the hounds! I am ashamed of my country these days. It’s taken such a very short time to slid backwards and I fear we have further to fall. Remainers saw this coming. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Yes indeed. They (Tory stooges) have achieved their goal. The BBC is becoming irrelevant. Lack of funding means fewer quality programmes, instead making cheap populist tat, and political influence makes it a no longer trusted news source. Some radio is brilliant but news bulletins are poison.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

I wrote about whether the hideous Thames Water bailout plan - which lets it off fines for up to 15 years - is lawful or will need the support of MPs. open.substack.com/pub/jolyonma...

The uber-rich have never been much into integration. The essence of the Public Schools is separation from the oiks.

They were CHILDREN, not women

Like the Tories, the Labour government is trying to drive down the number of people who qualify for disability benefits by insisting there has been an epidemic of “overdiagnosis”: a favourite theme of the BBC and the junktanks of Tufton Street. Never mind the science: what outcome do we want?

There is parade of dud audits, auditors let lying dogs sleep. UK accounting regulator is changing the rules.There will be fewer investigations. People will be deceived, fees will keep rising. There is no transparency about the conduct of audits. Regulators work for the industry. archive.ph/YCz1V

Throwing myself into researching Farage’s Russian links including Nathan Gill’s treachery, which the mainstream press is refusing to cover. @bylinetimes.bsky.social is though. The self proclaimed patriots are traitors. Obviously. This is a must read 👇🏼 bylinetimes.com/2025/10/04/t...

Media Mercenaries: Billionaire Puppeteers The UK media isn’t “biased”—it’s a propaganda arm for U.S. capital: - Murdoch’s Empire: Owns The Sun, Times, and Sky. Profits tied to Disney and Fox shares⁸. Pushed Brexit to destabilise the EU for U.S. trade deals.

On average, every 4 years, the ECHR stops the UK removing 1 foreign person. They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this. I've being saying "told you so" about Brexit for a decade. Don't let them do it to you again. Please listen this time.....

DAG post with sarcastic edge: ~ Freedom is just another word for “a gap in the law” – The Law and Policy Blog ~ https://davidallengreen.com/2025/10/freedom-is-just-another-word-for-a-gap-in-the-law/

It’s simple really.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The Tories are the toxic mess that Reform grew from. And they still are. Their angry uselessness just feeds the monster they created. And they don’t have the wit or the integrity to realise the harm they do to the country by being so cluelessly shit. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Tories had fourteen years to stand up for Britain. They let us down time and time again. Never forget what the Tories did. Don’t forget partygate. Don’t forget the covid contracts. Don’t forget the lies. The cronyism. The division. The NHS on its knees.

Perfect examples of corrupt, lying right wing vermin, all of whom should be in jail and not financed from the public purse. There are many more ……………

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

After praising Zack Polanski's communication skills, deputy leader of the Green Party Rachel Millward says, "I remember how I felt on the morning of Brexit" "We just literally let Farage's lies write history"

"The Conservatives made a total mess of protest laws and left us with the worst of all worlds – wasting police time arresting people for legitimate peaceful protest, while letting others get away with inciting violence. I fear Labour seem to be following them down the same path" buff.ly/PAisAD7

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies. Reform says something unhinged ⬇️ Labour counters with their own unhinged policy ⬇️ Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged ⬇️ Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response ⬇️ And repeat...🔁

A year ago, both Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly and his top military advisor Mark Milley warned America that Trump was a “fascist.” As Milley said: “He is the most dangerous person ever…he's a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country.”

🔥 Did you give the order for the military to be able to shoot unarmed civilians? Hegseth gets slammed. #cdnpoli

Why is everybody obsessed with leaving the ECHR? It isn't about immigration it is about their billionaire owners Leaving the ECHR allows them to rewrite all your Rights, Pensions, access to Healthcare, Paid Leave, Sick Leave, Disability... They will decide YOU don't need any

This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week. As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me. His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧵

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

“Dishcloths”? Boris Johnson was always an arrant racist.

Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Dr David Bull, Paul Nuttall, still haven’t said a word about their MEP colleague from UKIP to Reform UK, the Reform UK Leader in Wales Nathan Gill. 8 charges of Russian bribery, all admitted. Reform UK are on the hook for this.

"Keeping people in poverty is an expensive luxury. Poverty persists in rich countries because governments have made a political choice to keep people poor. This choice is driven by two imperatives." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Something core to Starmer's Labour is the delusion that doing things everyone hates will make them look strong.

In the WTAF department: Labour peer Lord Glasman has personally apologised to Farage for Starmer’s statement that Farage is a racist. “I’m ashamed. It’s a disgrace.” He went on Farage’s own GB News show. Glasman is the architect of Blue Labour, the ultra-conservative Labour pressure group.

Tory party’s long journey away from science, reason, responsibility, common sense and truth is complete

Media figures who cheerlead & champion Nigel Farage every minute of every day are freaking out about Keir Starmer telling a few home truths about the whiny little liar’s racism. And how the racism he disseminates every day affects real people in the real world. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Such an embarrassment. The fact she'll never have any power makes it barely worth noticing her, but whenever you do she's doing something abysmal or moronic. She richly deserves the anonymity to come.

Farage plays the everyman, but he’s not harmless, he’s not honest, and he’s not on your side. ❌

Barrowman's view of the verdict is bonkers... "an attempt to divert attention away from the government and its monumental overspend on PPE". A 'monumental overspend' that included clowns like him milking a 50% profit on PPE while other, decent, folk were literally making the stuff for free

With Starmer feeding Farage's narrative that human rights laws, including the Refugee Convention, are an obstacle for governments, and that migration is an "issue to be solved", here's why all he is doing is emboldening Reform👇 #r4today www.lbc.co.uk/article/keir...

Kamala Harris did not lie.

Labour voters overwhelmingly cite Brexit as the number one cause of our current difficulties, with 69% naming the decision to leave the EU as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...
