not immediate enough--he likely can't affect policy til he can get a majority in a couple years, so not enough incentive to generate a taco-sized swing immediately--not great!

Thanks to Mr #Farage and the #Tories' disastrous #Brexit ruining trade with the #EU- and #Trump's America being unreliable what's left? And, Mrs #Badenoch, trade with #China went through the roof under the Tories www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Reform, the political wing of SAGA, welcomes the defecation of Suella Braverman

Come on good people of #Blackburn, #Castleford and #Hamilton - what is wrong with you? 'At the time of publication, all seats remained available for the 28 screenings of Melania at the Blackburn, Castleford and Hamilton branches.' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

He might have something of a chequered past but compare and contrast Mr #Blatter with the current #FIFA arse-kissing awarder of pitiful 'peace medals' #BoycottWorldCup - Good on yer Sepp www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Of course. A nasty cheap shot at someone who would never stoop to such tactics herself. But maybe a bit late? #Reform's gain is a huge #Tory loss. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Genuinely disappointed Alan Shearer wasn't on #MOTD last night to share his take on the #Newcastle #Villa game #AVFC #UTV

Knowing her reported fondness for cults, genuinely shocked at the news of Braveman defection to #Reform- thought she had joined years ago when her Tory career nosedived. . www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Now there's a surprise! Who could have anticipated this? If elected Andy will be 100% behind Starmer and the team. What now for #Manchester? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If that was Villa old boy Barry Bannan's last game for Sheffield Wednesday wishing him all the best. Outstanding servant to this troubled club. #UTV #AVFC

#BoardOPeace Is this a snub or a sign of a sane and competent Government acting responsibly appropriately? www.msn.com/en-gb/news/w...

#Trump's next speech? We live in hope. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY...

Will someone be asking Kemi if she would join #Trump's #BoardOfPeace?

Will the #SCOTUS roll over or come to the rescue of the civilised world? An interesting few days. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

Fair enough- if you can't have the #PeacePrize take the #WarPrize. That'll teach 'em. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A master stroke by the #POTUS - More evidence of the stable genius in action www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The #Villa got what we deserved today- A long overdue bad day at the office. Without Onana and Kamara, a walk-through midfield. Ponderous at the back. But at least one Villa fan enjoyed it - welcome back Jack #UTV #AVFC

#ReformUK - and the #vaccine scepticism -with experts like Dubai resident #Tice who needs an #NHS? Even with their own TV channel, Reform looking increasingly dodgy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Grinning like a 5-year old getting his participation trophy at the post-season T-ball pizza party.

Is this an appropriate role for #OFSTED? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

After all this, if the British public vote #Reform we only have ourselves to blame www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Those thinking of supporting the #FIFA #WorldCup in the #USA take note. 'the United States has announced they are freezing visas from 75 countries to prevent ‘immigrants extracting wealth from the American people’.

#Farage #Jenrick press conference - Mr Farage controlling things to the degree of already showing Mr Jenrick who the boss is.

#Farage #Jenrick press conference. Mr Farage doing what he does best - Talk

Congratulations #RobertJenryk on joing #ReformUK. A man of true integrity and wholesome appeal. Why should you call a by-election when your constituents are as you say, really all Reform voters anyway. Will you now take over from Nigel & get your own programme on #ReformTV - Sorry #GBNews?

Is the increasingly irrelevant #BorisJohnson now so desperate for attention he forgets everything he has previously said about #Trump? www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic...

Nobody could have predicted this.

Hard to disagree with this. #Kamara one of those players you really appreciate when he is missing. A star #UTV #AVFC www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Not sure that naming battleships after Trump makes sense, but here’s a ship worthy of his name

#MrsBrownsBoys - Why? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

#Trump saves 250 million #American lives www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXMY...

Sadly not much to argue with here. After a wasteful first half the Villa well beaten on the night. Without Kamara, once we lost Onana the midfeld had a gaping hole. A mystery why Merino spared a second yellow, still, one more point and we're safe #UTV #AVFC www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Reports of #Epstein data deleted - what now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxLx...

Just had the misfortune to see #Philp call this man a 'scumbag'. Does he think the use of such undignified language is appropriate or is he doing it to make him appear tough? Pathetic either way... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Laurence Fox’s Reclaim Party founded with over £1 million from Jeremy Hosking, same donor who gave £1.7m to Farage’s Brexit Party. Hosking previously donated £570,000 to Conservative Party before a split. Follow the money: A network of wealthy backers funding increasingly extreme political rhetoric.

Is a closer relationship with #EU now key to @teamlabouruk.bsky.social survival ? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This insanity surely cannot continue? #KennedyCenter #USA www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

To accompany news of the #Reform local gov record, another reminder of what they say v what they do. #Greens and #LIbDems proposed cuts. Update- were resisted by #Labour in #Bristol www.labourbristol.co.uk/2025/01/08/a...

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things. When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

Sarcastic Irony is your "gift".

To be fair to #Lampard, being called a shit Steven Gerrard enough to push anyone over the edge #UTV #AVFC parliamentnews.co.uk/frank-lampar...

There's a word for selling political influence for cash... (sadly Reform aren't the first to do so) Via Private Eye

Refuk's Jenkyns now backs private healthcare, calling it “choice”. In reality, it’s the first step towards an Americanised system of invoices and inequality - the Farage dream, laid bare. #ukpolitics
