My optometrist makes me do this at every exam

It would be very difficult/impossible to deliver a trumpian hellscape in the UK while we have the ECHR protecting us. Outside it, we are well & truly fair game. Which is why billionaire disaster capitalists & asset strippers are flocking to Farage. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/res...

🔴Bassim Haidar: The ‘Globalist’ Billionaire Bankrolling Britain’s Anti-Globalist Party Why is Nigel Farage’s supposedly ‘anti-globalist’ Reform UK being bankrolled by a globe-trotting billionaire who once advised Amnesty International and the World Economic Forum? bylinetimes.com/2025/11/07/b...

Some ex-Reform councillor in Kent is suing his former party for defamation of character. Mate, you joined Reform.

This looks good. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

🚨🚨 Belgian court convicts two for EU funds misuse linked to #NigelFarage's Brexit group. Great report by @elisabraun.bsky.social on a decade-long probe into alleged misuse of EU funds by associates of top #Brexit campaigner. www.euractiv.com/news/belgian...

Reform’s rapid rise has reshaped local politics. But behind the slogans, their councillors’ views mark a clear shift to the hard right. Read the results from this academic survey ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @theconversation.com with thanks

There is enough seditious talk, with no moderation or control, on there to justify 'X' being banned in the UK. If only the UK politicians would grow a pair and take on Trump and Musk like they've taken on ReformUK...

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

£90bn was a figure plucked out of the air, like £250m/w for the NHS. This time, however, Farage can't run away and leave it to someone else to fail, like he did after Brexit.

BIG NEWS On 7/12/25, GM sees the biggest change to rail services for 30+ years. A new fairer, simpler fare system will come in across our 96 stations. 🐝 Singles will be half the price of returns 🐝 Tickets will be valid on any operator 🐝 Average fare will fall by 5.6% 1/2

"what I wrote was open to interpretations I did not intend..." Publishing allegations of a racist nature are not normally open to too much interpretation, mate. The lack of attribution might even lead some to believe that you made the "reports" up yourself. www.bbc.com/news/article...

More on Reform-led Lancashire Council's plans to sell-off council council care homes and move everyone into the private sector, here - www.theguardian.com/politics/202... And coincidentally, Reform’s cabinet member for social care in Lancashire, owns a private care company with his wife.

Reform's Trumpian answer to a funding problem in my home county Lancashire - close care homes, sell to a Reform Party man! Let us be like Zhoran Mamdani and Zach Polanski and openly rebel against such corruption of our welfare state! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Dum-dum-dum-dum...

Mike Johnson issues obviously baseless claim that he "saw something."

A man of Mr. Infantino's principles will no doubt already have a winner in mind.

LANCASHIRE NEWS: Man fucked around, found out. "The Reform-voting son of another resident said any move would “kill” his mother, and vowed to quit the party if the closures went ahead." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

📢 Today is the 75th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights being signed. It protects so many of our vital human rights, from our freedom from torture to our freedom of expression. So it's up to all of us to protect it. Because we either all have human rights, or none of us do

Apart from Putin, I cannot think of a greater enemy of Britain. Why does Musk hate us so much?

Oooh, they've been given a rebuke! That'll learn 'em! Time for Ofcom to grow a pair. First offence: switch them off for a month. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Well, it's sky blue, but in what racist Utopia can folk in wheelchairs open the door to a fucking bubble car?

In Great Britain, there are about 1.7 billion passenger rail journeys each year without serious incident (about 150 million a month). It's worth keeping perspective as news media discuss banning knives on trains or installing scanners at stations. dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/u...

Happen they'd be up in time for Ramadan.

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

Pure hypocrisy. Labour’s Angela Eagle claims it’s “not statistically possible” to measure culling’s impact — then says they’ll analyse how “effective” the last cull was. Make it make sense. After killing 250,000 badgers, TB in cattle’s only dropped 1%. It’s not working. #uk #nature #wildlife

In any sane world the US Government would be nationalising SpaceX on the grounds that it is a critical national asset being run by a madman, and the UK Government would be moving all communications off X because you cannot trust someone with beliefs like this to handle your social media.

The fact that someone like Musk wants in on British energy supply indicates what a fucking racket it is. Nationalise it now, and keep scum like him away. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A perfect 10 of #LabourAchievements. Busy #FixingBritain In just the last four days announcements covering veterans, military homes, people in work up and big savings on electricity costs for business. 👏👏👏#FixingBritain every week by hard work and good government

RefUKuenssberg gave, yet again, a platform to an unelected millionaire, Mo, representing a party with just 5 MPs, to talk shit about things he hasn’t got a clue about. #ukpolitics

Anyone who will lie unapologetically about mass violent attacks to push their own profile and political cause is beneath contempt. There’s no need to book such people, to platform them, or to listen to them. That’s not because of their politics, or their views: it’s because of their dishonesty.

Labour buys back 36,000 defence houses which the Conservatives privatised and will invest £9 billion to upgrade them Labour to also fast track housebuilding on defence land, building houses for defence, veterans, and the public

Read this carefully 🤣🤣 thanks @suewilson91.bsky.social for sharing ot

And this talk of His Royal Highnonce being made a "commoner," as if it is some kind of a punishment? I know quite a few commoners, and he is not fit to be ranked among them. He's still just one royal plane crash away from being King.

There must be someone, somewhere, who believes this shit (Elon Musk?), otherwise they wouldn't make it up. fullfact.org/politics/cen...

This man’s constituents are being left behind.

More disgusting news about Farage. Well done to @bylinetimes.bsky.social New head of Investigations Nafeez Ahmed @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/10/28/r...

So much room for all the boxes of secret papers.

This is a good start, but people should also be free to drive on whatever side of the highway feels appropriate to them.

"Commoner," you say? Let's see how much of a commoner he is if and when the US applies for his extradition. He is not being punished or downgraded - he is being sent to Sandringham with a steady income to protect the Royal Family. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"The Invacar was banned from English roads in 2003 over safety fears after some overturned and others caught fire." How like the average Reform councillor.
