Nigel Farage really is a one trick pony. His divisive and inflammatory comments about immigration is all he has. Is it any wonder he won’t want you to know that net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak under the conservatives. LETS MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOW THE REAL FACTS

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Taliban ‘legitimising child marriage’ with new edict, activists warn

"From when we were intercepted we were met with such levels of violence.. the fact that Israel would do that to us with the world on us, I can only imagine what they do to Palestinian prisoners"

"Continued Israeli attacks have continued reaping souls indiscriminately.. people who had already.. lost everything, displaced multiple times.. just to be killed after the ceasefire had been announced.." A Palestine Red Crescent represenative addressing the UN security council from Gaza yesterday

If this is what Israel is doing to white Westerners on camera: What the hell do you think they're doing to Palestinians off camera?

You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind It's all getting burnt-out, used-up Bought and sold to the bottom line That ain't the way it's gotta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away But you can't put it out of your mind

And you could recruit teachers from among the thousands of journalists thrown out of work by these developments

Net migration to the UK fell to 171,000 in 2025, new figures show - the lowest level since 2012, excluding Covid 
(It hit a peak of 944,000 in the year to March 2023)

Removing access to free live TV for those without a wi-fi connection means that many households could be left isolated. After all, five per cent of the UK population over the age of 16 does not have home internet access, with many citing affordability as a concern www.whathifi.com/streaming-en...

This is actually talking about the end of broadcast television in the UK. Full shutdown, switch to cable, internet, or nothing. A vast change to the infrastructure of the public sphere. And of course, the end of any meaningful "TV licence" concept.

Congrats, Google. We now have unreliable AI narrators of impoverished information sources, representing their hallucinations as truth. I'm glad I learned to use a card catalog when I was a kid, because fuck this. I'm going to the library. (3/3)

This is a shocking example of one of the big reasons why, right now, there is no way I’d use AI for any of my historical work. If you don’t look at the documents yourself, and if you don’t know how the AI you’re using was coded, you have no idea what it may be leaving out – or adding in.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

Every. Single. Day. 😎✨

I wonder what Jeremy Bentham would have thought if told that in its 200th year UCL’s communications team would no longer know the difference between “your” and “you’re”.

Did you know that the company the NHS has contracted to handle our health data also lends its tech to assist ICE's brutal kidnapping of people in the US?

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Having seen all 100, it's as I feared. My list would include Right Ho, Jeeves, At Swim-Two-Birds, Scoop and Tom Jones. More serious omissions include The Old Wives'Tale, The Way We Live Now, Esther Waters, Rabbit at Rest, Therese Raquin, The Radetsky March ... #booksky

FInally, one regulator will look at Nigel Farage and his (changing) explanation of the secret £5m he pocketed. Even Ofcom has shown a twitch of life But the media regulator still doesn’t get it app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73586/...

“The most frustrating trait shown by Starmer, at least for those who wished him well, is that he does not seem to learn,” writes Philip Collins

Smartly done, witty & forensic takedown by @helenlewis.bsky.social for @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Fantastically thorough and terrifying article. Are there really men in public life saying these horrific things? Apparently yes.

One things for sure, it's not the taxpayer or his constituents. Shortly after receiving £5 million from Christopher Harborne, Farage reportedly bought a £1.4 million property in cash.

This is very good

“This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointee based in New York. “Unquestionably, the laws of human decency condemn such villainy.” www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

I’ll take “Why is Britain skint and public services crumbling” for 10 points. Now imagine how many people just like him (and worse) are out there. It’s not poor people screwing the country…

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

So, Labour tears itself apart to try to stop Farage being our next PM just as he finally faces scrutiny in a monumental corruption scandal which could… and really should…end his political career. I’d go hard on that rather than each other right now guys. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Warning to Makerfield residents: I'd do an absolutely MASSIVE big shop now, because for the next two months you're not gonna be able to make it from one end of the high street to the other without being besieged by BBC hacks asking you brain-meltingly inane questions

Also, given Farage is even prepared to say 'Up the 'RA' for 70 quid, it's not remotely true

Just had one of those annoying approaches from a journalist asking me to type answers to their questions, which I regard as writing for free. Won't do it. Worse still they didn't call them questions. They called them 'prompts'. I am not an effing AI.

Was it a gift? Was it for security? Was it for Brexit? Was it for a house? FFS. Farage must think we’re all really thick. It was a £5million bribe from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire who wants his man in power so he’ll remove consumer protections and rocket-boost crypto trading. Inquiry done.

Why the fuck is the UK falling for Nigel Farage all over again? He’s a cancer to society.

Calling A-level English teachers! Do you teach Austen, Brontë, or other 18thc stuff? Could you use a set of free research-informed teaching materials, which support students' historical, literary, & linguistic understanding, & foster debate about misogyny, consent, & healthy relationships? (1/?)

Farage is as (un)popular as he was two years ago! The country is not changing their minds on him

The last time I was turned down for Arts Council funding, they sent me a model application for a project to demonstrate what they were ideally looking for. The model application was by me a year earlier. And was also turned down.

NYT lawyers should demand access to the prisons and prisoners in question as part of discovery.

the audacity to commit genocide and then sue over an article you didn't like.

In the same month Nigel Farage bought a £1.4mn house in cash - weeks after he got a £5mn gift from Christopher Harborne for his "security" (h/t @alifortescuenews.bsky.social ), Farage put in an app to rebuild his house in New Romney into a modern three-storey home with a basement conversion

And here’s a convicted criminal paying for Farage’s security long after he secretly accepted £5 million from Christopher Harborne supposedly to pay for his security.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

Reform has suspended new Sheffield councillor Nathaniel Menday, after further social media posts were uncovered

All Labour leaders get hammered by the media and good policies go unreported. If anyone is going to be hammered it might as well be Keir Starmer as this will satisfy his angry colleagues and preserve other candidates from getting hammered too.

⚠️ from someone who knows, Rick Wilson. Please read and share. bylinetimes.com/2026/05/08/r...

His closest aide sentenced to 10.5 years for spying for the Russians. Failing to disclose £5m donation and how he bought a house in Clacton. A decade of school antisemitism and racism. Cavorting with Neo Nazis and planning mass deportations. What is the media love about Farage?

Innocent Sinners is a fabulous film.
