Nigel Farage urged to sack Reform council leader accused of racism

In case it wasn't already obvious why Farage and his party are spreading misinformation about the climate crisis and trying to blame the most vulnerable for the problems caused by inequality - they've just received a record donation from a jet fuel multimillionaire!

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

Here's UKIP's former Scottish leader David Coburn, who has denied taking Russian bribes after being named in Whatsapp messages between Nathan Gill and a pawn of the Putin administration, being applauded by Gill for arguing against Ukraine's entry to the EU

Hope is here. Help us beat Reform in May. Donate today ⤵️

Sadiq Khan says Farage’s denial of teenage racism allegations ‘desperate’

Climate change is driving 40% of UK food price hikes. Protecting households from spiralling costs of living means protecting the planet. It's time to kick the expensive fossil fuel habit and accelerate the shift towards heating & powering Britain with efficient renewables. @nebriefing.bsky.social

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult." Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Richard Tice, March 2025: "I have never met Nathan Gill, and he has never had anything to do with Reform,"

Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time” Today, Farage’s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.

BREAKING: As Reform UK's former Welsh leader and Nigel Farage associate is sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for taking bribes to spread pro-Russian propaganda, @peterjukes.bsky.social reports on why it opens the door to a broader investigation of Russian interference in our politics

It is a pivotal moment in our history. So what needs to happen at COP30? 💰 Climate Damages Tax to make the polluters pay ⚖️ Fund climate justice for the Global South ❌ Keep fossil fuels in the ground 🌳 End deforestation by 2030 ⏩ Global just transition now

Imagine being a Minister in Scottish Govt & sanctioning 6 months of torching this sensitive & important carbon-sequestering habitat, in a climate emergency & against will of Parliament, just so a handful of wealthy elites can get off on killing Red Grouse. raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/10/30/s...

You were had! @scottishgov.bsky.social @jimfairliesnp.bsky.social Well done to @ariane-burgess.bsky.social for pointing out the fallacy of muirburn preventing wildfires. @raptorpersuk.bsky.social

The Planning Bill is back in the Lords today - and it still falls short of the win-win for nature the Government says it wants. We’re grateful to the Peers that have stepped up with vital fixes. But today’s votes help decide whether this Bill truly delivers for nature & people. 👇

We urge all Peers to back: 148: To avoid environmental damage first & foremost 114: To add a duty to consider climate & nature in decisions 130: To limit EDPs to where they're effective 140, 245 & 246: To embed Swift bricks, bird-safe glass & hedgehog highways into new homes

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Farage: epic grifter

160 mph winds, 13 foot storm surge, 40" of rain. Pray for Jamaica. And know that this was done to them knowingly, by fossil fuel companies, and the elected leaders who keep letting polluters freely boil the oceans with their pollution.

🔴The Reform Backlash: Caerphilly By-Election Result Shows Nigel Farage’s Party Is Much Weaker Than It Looks Despite widespread media predictions of a Reform victory on Thursday, Farage’s defeat shows his party continues to be overestimated, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social

“It’s outrageous to even talk about spending cuts when people are already exhausted and struggling. We need to tax the wealthiest and invest in our public services.” Green Party leader @ZackPolanski says the government must stop punishing working people and start taxing wealth fairly. #Peston

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies." Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration. #Peston

Unable to count that high, Boris Johnson uses his hands to try and illustrate the volume of lies, he told each day as prime minister
