And that scenario assumes: • The small sample was perfectly representative • Every case was coercion • Every affected vote went in one direction That is extremely unlikely.

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so. The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found bylinetimes.com/2026/03/02/n...

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, per Reuters

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage. So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

It seems that CCR’s “Fortunate Son” is relevant yet again .

Off to Ipswich tonight - then Basingstoke, Frome, Worthing and Salford. Just five dates left on my Domination book tour - catch me if you can!

🔴Nigel Farage’s Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party’s election defeats on “cheating” by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found, reports @josiahmortimer.bsky.social

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model). If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bullshit .

Nigel Farage has said he would SUSPEND THE CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE IN ORDER TO CUT A DEAL TO PAY THE IRANIAN REGIME TO RECEIVE DEPORTED REFUGEES TO THEIR PERSECUTION. That is the Reform policy his “shadow Home Secretary” announced the other day.

Chamberlain levels of appeasement from the utterly pathetic prime minister. “Defensive” strikes are an oxymoron. The 150 killed in the missile strike on a girl’s school are a dreadful testament to that .

House of the Dragon is a series in which everyone believes they have the authority to rule due to a series of shaky coincidences but when it comes to making actual decisions every does the stupidest thing possible. House of the Dragon remains the most relatable show on television.

Ms Blues is a picture of contentment, falling asleep to wave sounds playing on Alexa. Yes she did position the pillow and duvet herself . Yes they are clean on this evening

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

"Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart of UNIT gave us this reaction..." Nicholas Courtney appears on "The Harry Hill Show" (transmitted 27th February, 2000). #DoctorWho #DrWho

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail. Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

But they shifted to the right and tried to out Reform Reform 🤷‍♂️

Will the broadcaster and Dubai resident Isabel Oakeshott regret her uncritical support for Trump now? Will the MP and Dubai resident Richard Tice claim , as with Venezuela, that Trump is acting in self defence ? I hope that they are able to reflect on past behaviours when they are safe .

i know this isnt original but her vibes are so comically villainous.

Response to being trounced at the G&D by-election Blue Labour's Shabana Mahmood doubles down on hardline migration policy. When faced with a raging fire, she bravely reaches for a can of petrol. That's the spirit 🔥 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

@drsarteschi.bsky.social This is own for you . I saw this on a facebook group , where someone had accidentally bought “The Light” (a UK far right conspiracy theory newspaper) and was asking what this was !

We thought the US wanted to stop criminals entering the country...

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country. It's got to hurt

If Matt Goodwin was radicalised by not getting a job he wanted (as a number of profiles have suggested), which party will he now be in by Friday?

This is the fourth book of real-life short stories about me, my family and friends, written in a raw and gritty style. Incidents, accidents and unexpected outcomes that will make you smile and possibly cry a little. amzn.eu/d/6GfNSgO

I see the message has come down from on high to the far right , both politicians and media - “Call it Sectarianism and frame it as as a win for Communism/Islamists , whereas WE are just cosy defenders of liberalism .”

So the Telegraph is taking this well

BBC just aired a ridiculous allegation of family voting irregularities identified by the same outfit that’s been identifying these in Tower Hamlets and who oddly do the same election observation work in Kazakhstan and Canada…🤔 Nothing weird there. Swift rebuttal from the council NOT aired by the BBC

Thought his Trumpian temper tantrum was really disgraceful, even by his standards. Just utterly graceless in defeat - Gorton and Denton voters emphatically rejected him, the margin wasn't close - to undermine the legitimacy of a result like that is ugly stuff.

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin. Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

Has there ever been a more graceless and divisive concession? Showing exactly why voters in Gorton and Denton rejected him tonight

I bet Matt “I have lots of connections to Manchester and my roots are here” Goodwin will never be seen in Manchester again .

So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

Some recent human factors research supports your observations. Last year, we purchased a 2017 product. The BMW 330iX sport wagon still has dials and switches. I just can't do new cars unless manufacturers start redesigning dashboards. theconversation.com/yes-those-bi....

the usual rules, applied to certain other parties, means this number of shocking stories about Reform in a short space of time means it’s a party in crisis & the leader has serious questions to answer
