Fantastic journalism. And there was I thinking Farage and cronies were going to save me from the evil global elite.

who should they pass vetting afterwards may become Restore councillors. Mmm, thanks @bylinetimes.bsky.social for excellent reporting as usual Share this article from Bylines bylinetimes.com/2026/04/17/t...

The Strait of Hormuz has been opened because there is a Ceasefire in Lebanon. When Israel breaks this Ceasefire and everyone knows they will, it is Israel that is closing the Strait of Hormuz and increasing the cost of Oil and Food for everyone in the entire world.

Interesting* that BBC Scotland didn't mention in its report on the Sarwar/Offord fight that Offord has a witness who has gone on record to say Offord was telling the truth. No mention either of the numerous media reports about Labour plotting to do a deal with Reform. *Totally predictable

It's the colonial arrogance and presumption of superiority to dictate to Scotland that sticks in the craw. It was Streeting's 'British' Brexit chaos that was forced upon Scots. Send 'em packing. #BothVotesSNP

Israeli War Criminals bombing Beirut, Lebanon right now.

Nigel Farage's flagship council now a 'horror show' as Musk plan 'backfires' - The Mirror www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

$3.55tn is kept in offshore tax havens. The world Governments should seize the lot and put an 80-90% seizure tax on it. About the amount that has been dodged in tax. Then everything could be afforded.

France and Italy have both joined Spain in banning US military aircraft from using their airspace. Don't commit War Crimes, it's easy.

Absolutely this 👇 Vote SNP to get Scottish independence and make this happen 🙂👍

It would be good if some senior figures in the SNP shine a light on this. No other nation would tolerate it, so why should Scotland??

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

To mark the end of Long Covid Awareness month, we spoke to someone living with it and campaigning to be heard.

Lying about your own country in return for money from a foreign power. There should be a word for that.

Unfortunately truth does not matter one tiny jot to Reform followers

Reform’s loud opposition to net zero is driven by “the success of populist messages around Brexit plus significant financial backing from the fossil fuel industry and climate sceptics” Not science. Not national interest. Not public opinion. Just personal greed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Deeply concerning. "Donald Trump has embarked on a war against Iran without a clear objective or plan. That he could so easily do so casts doubt on whether the US presidency faces any remaining constitutional check on its war-making powers."

@pimlicat.bsky.social: “Today and every day, we must stand against rising intolerance, against all forms of racism including Islamophobia and in solidarity with the Muslim community, here in the UK and across the world.”

Brits are shocked at how expensive US Healthcare is. Which is exactly what Nigel Farage wants to bring to the UK.

Nigel Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was “ludicrous” and should be lifted, arguing handguns ought to be legalised and licensed again. The man is deranged, he won't be happy until school shootings are happening in the UK again.

Reform UK is MAGA light. Nigel Farage has tied himself to Donald Trump, and can’t escape it. From DOGE, to Orr, to ICE, to Iran, where Trump goes, Nigel follows.

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

“If the government wants to use the NHS as an instrument of growth, we should have a national conversation about that, not slip it through as quietly as possible,” writes @laylamoran.bsky.social. Read here: https://bestforbritain.substack.com/p/the-trump-drug-deal-threatens-the

FACTS: Net Zero barely nudges your bill. Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof. So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Good.

Gentle reminder for those idiots that want Britain to get fully involved in an illegal war in the Middle East built on a false argument around WMD, in 2003 we had an economy larger than China and could put about 60,000 servicemen and women into the field. It's history, not current affairs.

"Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences. Every headline, every clip, every click adds weight. This is how the line gets crossed." "And how some media are no longer just covering the far right but helping it speak."

🇪🇺MEPs from across the political divide have called for the proclaimed EU–UK “reset” to be “decisively accelerated”. The UK must go further and faster in our reset with the EU.

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave. No different to the old BNP or National Front voters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

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...

"You cannot bring democracy by aerial bombardment. The sort of regime change that includes no preparation before, no help during, and no plan for after, is basically just rolling a dice, hoping for sixes."

🚨VERY IMPORTANT! ON 16 MARCH PARLIAMENT WILL DEBATE A PETITION FOR BY-ELECTIONS TO BE TRIGGERED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT Make sure your MP attends! youtu.be/LPO_ZWlyb7Q?...

As per usual he has the most bizarre and varied reasons for the attack. We will hear multiple others throughout the coming days.

But it's not "a cheap stunt." Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too. It's expensive flying to the Maldives. Where did he stay? How long is he staying? How much did it cost? Who picked up the tab? www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

Another brilliant episode

Interesting post from over on Mastodon. Looks like #SNP1/SG2 is going to be the way to vote to minimise the right-wing. #Scotland #Holyrood26

If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’. Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.

Reform UK are coming for your womb.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Farage frothing about WFH again… Funny how the loudest critics are the ones who’ve probably never done a school run or a Zoom call with a sick kid in the background. WFH isn’t hurting Britain - but Reform’s backers would hate you to realise who really is. open.substack.com/pub/marinapu...

History repeating itself? UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it. Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy. Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.
