Politics is in transit 🚚 If you’ve had enough of the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage join the Liberal Democrats. Help us save our country, come and win with us.

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

A bubble so large you can see it from space and it's going to fuck all of us.

How tragic! Something is wrong with all the Russian windows 🪟! 😳🙄

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

Not a serious person. Zero mention of what this would mean for the over a million British citizens whose own access to welfare in the EU is protected by the withdrawal agreement.

Tax advice in the UK is an unregulated Wild West. The biggest losers aren’t billionaires — it’s ordinary small businesses sold shiny “avoidance” that blows up. When HMRC catches it, clients face huge bills. When HMRC doesn’t, the rest of us foot the cost. 🧵

How much damage has #Labour done to its reputation by withdrawing the winter fuel allowance from most pensioners then reinstating it? Many don't seem to know it has been reinstated this year. I canvassed a pensioner today who thought Reform would look after them better than Labour govt.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social I do a lot of canvassing. I have met characters like Mrs "Bouquet" she would definitely vote Reform.

On reports the Tories will back leaving the ECHR, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: “Kemi Badenoch has chosen to back Nigel Farage and join Vladimir Putin by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a proud British creation championed by Churchill that protects everyone's rights and freedoms."

Good write-up this. Every bit of research shows that 'pre-buttal' (i.e. people don't see the misinformation or malinformation first) is much more effective than factchecking. Part of that is 'government should try and make it so that you can cover UK politics without being on X'.

Will HIGNFY apologise for spreading this terrible and harmful lie?

Oh my god. Have I Got News For You just referred to this completely false claim as a fact!!

“Mussolini didn’t begin with empire. He began with speeches about discipline and manliness, reshaping Italy’s institutions into props for his own cult of personality. And if that sounds distant, then look again because America is drowning in the same macho theater.” America is in trouble.

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract. There are two very odd things about PPE Medpro that may affect the odds of the Government ever getting that £122m... Thread:

PPE Medpro will almost certainly go into administration and Mone will repay almost none of the £122m she stole from the NHS. But she'll keep the superyacht and the private jet she scammed from the public purse.

The UK has an underlying structural problem: total fertility rate (babies born per woman) is stubbornly in the range 1.5 to 1.75, and needs to be 2.05 to 2.1 for zero population growth. Below 2.0 you get demographic shrinkage and an ageing population with a rising ratio of dependants to workers. /1

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Are we really so divorced from reality that we will allow this unlikely but possible outcome? When will Starmer finally accept we need a fair, proportional voting system?

One other negative side effect of Labour’s ID card plan: it helps Reform continue the illusion that they’re a ‘freedom loving’ and ‘libertarian’ party, when they’re quite the opposite.

So as part of my day job I regularly have to check people's right to be in the UK, via a UK passport, or an eVisa/share code. These are legal requirements. Anyone saying we need online ID so we can verify who has a right to be in the UK is lying to you. We already do that. They are lying.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Nathan Gill, Reform's leader in Wales at the last Welsh parliament election, has pled guilty to 8 bribery charges, taking Russian cash while he was one of Nigel Farage’s MEPs to speak in favour of Putin's Russia in that parliament www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This topic needs more attention. I hope that @quietriotpod.bsky.social will cover it in future. Russia appears to be planning how it could cut off power and internet to various #EU countries, especially to Republic of Ireland, which is not a NATO member. on.ft.com/4nIxAJc

Lib Dems the last block against ‘forces of darkness’ led by Farage, says Ed Davey #EdDavey #LDConf 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

He’s so right!!👏👏✨ #FarageDoesNotSpeakForMe #FaragesBrexitBoats

Ed Davey, "Nigel Farage helped cause the small boat problems, because before Brexit we had 27 return agreements with the EU" - maybe call them Brexit boats?

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

I am loving the phrase coined by Daisy Cooper of “Turquoise Tories”, which is very appropriate. 2 of Reforms current 5 MPs are former Tory MPs and all others are former Tories. * Up to 80% of Reform councillors and members are former Tories. #TurquoiseTories #ReformUK

How will Ed Davey's Liberal Democrats use the conference spotlight? The coalition questions looms large but the Liberal Democrats can be judged now on how they govern local and oppose nationally, writes @drhannahwhite.bsky.social www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/ed-d...

One of the ways Reform voters differ most from the wider population (including Tory voters) is in their attitude towards Trump.

I agree with Ed The UK Govt and all Govt related bodies should quit X (formerly Twitter) immediately
