This is why we must defeat populism and nationalism and never forget how democracy can be so easily lost. We do not want Trump's America, Putin's Russia or Georgian Dream's Georgia to become Farage's Britain. #GeorgiaProtests #TerrorinGeorgia

Standards watchdog launches probe into £5m Farage gift. Good luck justifying this Nige www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

Very, very good news. I know it seems very strange and counter-cultural to put people who believe in equality and human rights in the Equality and Human Rights Commission, but maybe this weird new approach will work.

Why do they need to import foreign racists anyway? Don't we have enough British racists to do the job?

I found this a very interesting map. Social and liberal attitudes in Spain have come a long way in a relatively short amount of time (though there is still room for improvement (there always is). Certainly the older generations of Spaniards I know are accepting of changes which have occurred.

Damn this guy is amazing at messaging holy shit.

"We need a voting system that serves citizens, first and foremost. This is now within our grasp." 💯 Great to see this letter from our supporter Michael Bursill published in the Guardian 👇

Bravo 👏🏻

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

Six of the morning's 10 London results in so far. Three Lab holds, one Lab loss to NoC (with Tories largest party, by just one) and two resounding Lib Dem holds. Reform in danger of getting none out of two. Tories on course to regain Westminster. Kensington & Chelsea surely safe for them.

‘The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again…’

I think it might be time to consign ‘contempt for the conmen, compassion for the conned’ to the dustbin of history. But none of the alternatives are very attractive…

However you dice it, it’s been a great night for Thai-based cryptocurrency billionaires & Vladimir Putin - who, incredibly, is currently getting more good news from the UK than Ukraine.

Very good advice! Victory doesn't lie in getting fascists to renounce fascism – most are too lost in their cult for that – victory lies in convincing the non-voters and undecided that democracy is worth defending.

I STILL get pissed off hearing the left using “woke” in a negative way. It’s as bad as letting DEI be smeared. We keep letting the right take over our language. Just ask “What part of diversity, equity, and inclusion are you opposed to?” Works 90% of the time.

Right wing pundits on "patriotic news" channel determined to blame collapse of fictional special relationship on Starmer... Despite Trump doing everything in his power to alienate the UK.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Today, the Assisted Dying Bill will fall. The actions of a small group of unelected peers on this Bill have been deplorable. It’s a stain on our democracy and a slap in the face to hundreds of terminally ill people and their families, who were given hope when MPs voted in favour last year.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

Hypocrite Richard Tice 'owes £98,000 in tax' after demanding Angela Rayner sack over smaller mix-up www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

💸 Apparently, when you do your taxes with TurboTax, it asks you if you want to make a contribution to a “Trump Account,” an IRA account for your child. The one seeded by Michael Dell… Looks to me like another opening for Trump to grift from #WeThePeople and why isn’t it called a “Dell Account?”

If I remember correctly, Johnson also overruled security to send Lebedev to the House of Lords.

Georgia is still protesting daily in huge numbers against their government taking them away from Europe as Russian influence strengthens. We must not forget them. bsky.app/profile/rusu...

For those keeping track at home. The Iranians have now blockaded the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US blockading it because the Iranians had blockaded it, in response to the US attacking Iran to ensure that the Strait which was fully open at the time wasn't blockaded.

NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.

“King and Queen will not meet Epstein survivors during US state visit.” Just the perpetrators… www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

There was no good way to organise this visit and nothing gained by sending him. A severe risk to national dignity, undertaken for no advantage whatsoever.

In absolutely chef’s kiss timing, Matthew Goodwin is due to speak at Orbán’s in-house propaganda group MCC *today* Badloss strikes again.

Listening to Kemi Badenoch and feeling almost envious of a life lived entirely undisturbed by reality.

💭 Remember Farage in 2018? “Join the Brexit club …you’ll love it.” 2026 reality check: Hungary 🇭🇺 voted Viktor Orbán out and chosen to stay firmly in the EU. They looked at Brexit Britain: stagflation, energy shocks, exposure and said: no. Hungary dodged the trap Britain is still stuck in!

Hungary is a big deal. Most current right wing dictatorships have modelled their tactics on those of Orban. Suppressing opposition through litigation and lawfare. Defunding public institutions. Financially rewarding ethno nationalists whilst oppressing progressives. Silencing journalists.

“It’s deeply shocking that Reform has developed such close ties with Orbán’s regime, an authoritarian govt with an appalling record of rolling back democracy and civic rights” Where ‘deeply shocking’ = entirely on brand. Hungary shows us we must never give them power. www.desmog.com/2026/04/08/m...

Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election

A rare defeat for Putin in Western politics tonight. I suppose he can console himself with thoughts of Farage’s projected success next month.

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

Every vote for a strong Hungary was a vote for a strong EU, and a vote against Putin, and against Trump. Outstanding work, people of Hungary! What’s next?

Magyarország Európát választotta. Európa mindig Magyarországot választotta. Egy ország visszatér az európai útjára. Az Unió erősebbé válik.

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

LOL The comedy broadsheet strikes again. #Telegraph @telegraph.co.uk #Hungary #Orban bsky.app/profile/arus...

Ukraine is about to get an awful lot of European money. No more Cunt's Veto. A potential turning point in the battle against Russian imperialism.

It's not only Matt Goodwin, but a whole raft of hard and far right lobby groups posing as think tanks and academics lost a regular pay cheque tonight. #Hungary #orban

Today, the people of #Hungary toppled their tyrant. America, our return to democracy requires our full attention. We can see it can be done!

Congratulations to our Hungarian friends for making sure their voices are heard and for choosing to get rid of Putins little pal, Orbán.
