So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win. With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mockler: One of the administration's primary arguments was that these boats were an imminent threat to the United States. Lambert: They are Mockler: They were not heading to the United States

I’m just a simple country historian w/o a law degree, but it’s more than a ‘long standing tradition’ when its IN THE CONSTITUTION

But we'll welcome former Tories Jonathan Gullis, Danny Kruger, Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Ann Widdecombe, Lucy Allen, Jake Berry - the former chair of the Tories, for God's sake - Andrea Jenkyns, Maria Caufield, Lia Nici ... 20 of them so far. They should never be forgiven. Except those ones.

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

I thought journalists in the BBC were supposed to be impartial and not give opinions? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

Oh FFS just stop. It’s not an election year. Why give him so much space? If only you could spare the same effort for Lib Dems and Greens if you wanted alternative perspectives. Why always with the racist misogynist?

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

Since the May elections Reform UK Ltd has lost (resigned, fired, left the party) 36 councillors at least. At an average cost of £25,000 per by-election that means they have cost the country £900,000 What a waste of money, how many schoolmeals would that buy for hungry children?

No real surprise here. But what will the UK Government actually DO about this? X algorithms are right-wing biased. X pushes more right-wing content to users than left-wing content.

The private health sector does NOT have the capacity to accommodate the Reform voucher system to replace the NHS. Fantasy politics

the tone deafness is beyond parody

Farage's judgement is less than just questionable.

So who said it first, Loomer or Pochin, do we think?

Farage: epic grifter

Erroneous prisoner releases are “extremely rare” according to BBC News. Six or seven such errors a month does not mean “rare”, it means continuous incompetence.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage. *Pretends to be shocked* 😲 The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

The express poll asking whether reforms migrangt visa plan is racist is about 91% "no" so it REALLY needs your help - this is a direct link to poll xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

Yvette Cooper's Conference speech was the type of communication that has been missing from Labour for months. Will it get any Media attention though?

I really irritates me when I click on a link to read an article in some local news site to be presented with the choice of having to allow full cookie access to my device 😳 -er, no, or paying to read the article ad / cookie free. I usually take the third choice and leave without reading.

How did the Rapture go for y'all, people?

Trump's not even brought the real Melania with him, that's one of the inflatable ones

In London, hate will never win.

🇬🇧👀🇺🇸 UK ready for Trump visit!

So a man who has a lot of money can video in to a crowd of concerned people (with a thug at its heart) and basically call for insurrection in a country in which he has no citizenship or other interest apart for money and the UK Govt does nothing and continues to fill his pockets by using his SM 🤔🤔

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

On Elon Musk’s address to the Tommy Robinson march today, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said: “Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. “Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.” (Statement sent via a link to...X)

Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk. What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.

If you spend just 5 mins researching Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari you will suddenly see clearly how much the media chooses to ignore the big stories for political gain. For a start no one seems to be asking where an unemployed former waitress found £900k to buy a house outright in Clacton

And this is Reform for you, misappropriating Parliamentary Funds for Party Political Campaigning. This is supposed to be paid for by Party funds, but hey, Tice doesn't think the rules apply to him.

"We are the patriotic party" says Nigel Farage, who just spent the past few days slagging off his own country to a foreign superpower, while encouraging them to impose sanctions on our economy if we don't do what they say

I’m finding it hilarious that the Cabinet reshuffle is completely obliterating coverage of the Reform Conference. It is even over-shadowing the Rayner situation.

The UK loses £200bn a year to tax havens. It is time to ban them. Money earned in the UK has tax paid on it in the UK. No ifs, no buts, no corrupt crooks.

Leaving the ECHR would unravel the Good Friday Agreement, destabilise devolution, and wreck our EU security deal. It would strip Britain of influence and safety. This reckless move must be stopped.

Despite the media attention he receives, Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law. Don't let him persuade you his policies are popular. @europeanmovement.co.uk

Stolen from another place. A visual representation of Fartage in the US Congress.

Aristo-fraudster who raised millions for Nigel Farage sets up opaque new company. Secretive new political firm set up by ‘posh’ George Cottrell raises ‘real red flags’, anti-corruption expert warns. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

Watching @raskin.house.gov eviscerate Nigel Farage in Congress was a rare joy. Finally someone called out the charlatanry: Free speech for me, not for thee - while wearing a GB News pin in Washington.

“It struck me as a very bizarre presentation to come here and to advocate for the US to criticise the UK… when it's one of the freest societies on earth.” Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin on his clash with Nigel Farage over free speech at the US House Judiciary Committee. #Newsnight

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

“the “legacy” of the Reform UK leader’s push for #Brexit is soaring illegal migration. Before Brexit, the “Dublin Regulation” allowed the UK to return some asylum seekers to EU Member States…but small boat crossings soared since the end of the agreement.” www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Absolutely. Why is that then, UK media? That would get good ratings!

He caused havoc with Brexit. Don’t let him do it again - here’s five red flags about what Farage said today. Hit share to show him we see through him.

There are more guns than people in the US. Another deadly school shooting and all some politicians offer is thoughts and prayers. Stop voting for these pro gun politicians who think gun rights are more important than young lives.

Every talk program, radio, TV wherever, seems to frame their "questions" in a certain way. If you ask a question with a certain bias, the answers you get will reflect that. The questions are never asked to prompt an alternate view. Broadcasters know that, so we conclude that this is deliberate.🤷‍♀️

🔴 Far Right and the Press Accused of ‘Weaponising Violence Against Women’ to Fuel Hatred of Migrants More than 100 women’s rights groups condemn politicians and the media for spreading false claims about migrants while failing to back calls to fund actual support for sexual violence victims
