"How many traitors are in Farage's new party?" would, I suggest be a better line than Digital ID. To beat Reform, make wavering voters ashamed to back them.

The kids get it.

She came into her job widely accused of being a foreign asset. She now responds to those credible allegations by doing the first thing any foreign asset would do in her role: bury all intelligence on pending foreign threats to the United States. It's almost like America doesn't *want* to survive.

Records unearthed by Oversight Dems reveal new documents showing Jeffrey Epstein's daily schedules. His meetings include Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and a potential trip to Epstein Island with Elon Musk.

1/ Whatever you think of digital ID, the process matters. And in 2025, this is still how we make big public policy. 👇

This atrocity needs to be bulldozed at the first opportunity.

Brutal new MRP poll out today showing Reform at 311 and Labour support collapsing. Worth reading steaming @financialtimes.com column on Starmer by @robertshrimsley.bsky.social “Starmer can’t afford to wait for reckless Reform to implode” on.ft.com/3VxxCaR

Pleased to see Morgan McSweeney continuing to demonstrate his political genius.

Enoch Starmer chasing more voters off to The Green Party and LibDems.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Genuinely starting to wonder if #Starmer is some sort of sleeper agent whose sole mission is to destroy the Labour party forever. If so, he's doing a splendid job. 😐

Dire framing. Strategically and morally bankrupt.

Had a conversation with someone the other day in which they, at different points, said the minimum wage was too high, damaging the economy + that immigration was bad because low pay for Brits. Where do you start?

There you go, common ground.

I don't understand why they've gone for digital, and not the simpler, truly universal physical card version. I've had a physical ID card in all 3 EU states, with no issues - in fact it's great to have all key Govt numbers in 1 place, and to something other than an expensive passport/DL as photo ID.

Apologies for the vulgarity but how fucking stupid is Starmer if he has looked at the flood of Labour voters heading to Greens & Lib Dems in disgust about his Reform Lite stance & decided to carry on with that failed strategy. I honestly thought he was better & brighter than that. Apparently not.

There are quite obviously competing factions in Number 10 arguing about whether to be Reform-lite or set policy agenda / attack, and for today the former seem to have won. As far as one can tell, virtually everyone sane outside the centre thinks the latter.

If this is the best explanation they’ve got, then a half-competent prosecutor is going to eat them on toast. So much cringe from the accused, you’ll think the Father Ted guy is back on the witness stand.

The vacuum at highest levels in talking about this dark turn in British life over the last few months HAS to end.

Thanks Heather. Wrote this follow up this week, as the PM starts to speak about this, about why that matters & what he might be missing bsky.app/profile/sund...

Hmm, maybe if there wasn't a large, heavily armed, malevolent country to the east that's already aggressively invaded one of its neighbours, the Germans could concentrate on building Beemers instead of bombs? It ain't the Germans I'm worried about this time.

Gangs of flag waving thugs are terrorising our town every night now. I could hear shouts of Seig Heil from my home (I was up with a sick cat). People are posting photos of them (taken from my partners FB page).

I do wonder if the ordinary people living in places like Faversham, who are now trapped in their houses by groups of men draped in flags roaming around the streets in the evenings, are perhaps reassessing their Reform vote. bsky.app/profile/mrro...

Some shifts in this week's voting intention as Reform’s lead over Labour narrows again: now down to just 3pts. With both Labour and Tories up ➡️ REF UK 28% (-3) 🌹 LAB 25% (+3) 🌳 CON 20% (+2) 🔶 LIB DEM 13% (-1) 🌍 GREEN 8% (nc) 🟡 SNP 3% (nc) N=2055 |19-22/9|Change w 15/9

I’ve heard it say that Nigel Farage has no less than seventeen nipples spread over his chest and back. I’m, of course, not saying it’s true, but we have no evidence saying otherwise. It could be true, we just don’t know. That’s how this works, right?

Arron Banks: "The Communists took a third of the intelligentsia out and shot them in a car park, and I always thought what a waste. But now I think actually, they had a point." Needless to say, Ron failed to get into university and has had a chip on his little shoulders ever since.

Job done, even if the game wasn't exactly one to remember. Bring on Burnley, hopefully without the racist airplane banner this time.

Can't believe Kalvin Phillips is still at City.

Why can't we ask the richest man in the world to pay the added costs for all the stupid stuff he did while claiming to save taxpayers $$? edition.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

Kind of amazing how UK news media still remains obsessed with the structurally limited impact in economic terms of small boats even as this potentially terminal havoc works its way through key UK industrial supply chains on.ft.com/3Ihb8YF

A YouGov survey of 3000 Reform-curious voters found the following criticisms of Farage had the most cut-thru with them:- 1) supporting disastrous Truss mini-budget in 2022 + uncosted cuts & spending plans (57%) 2) removing employment rights (56%) 3) Plans to cut public spending by £140bn (55%)

At fuckin last!

The longer this stays at 0-1, the more the Typical City in me is thinking NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🫣

Two City players on the floor in the box from a corner. No VAR on the night. 🙃

Exactly

Of, close Nico, although I thought he looked just offside

Come on City!!!

Bit dull first half, but City definitely deserve to be in the lead.

You can’t have both homeopathy and the laws of physics. You need to pick one.

I have no idea who shot at the ICE facility or why, & hard to trust this FBI director. Murder is always inexcusable. Now, the idea that people are mad at ICE because of ‘Democrats’ rhetoric’ & not because of daily videos of masked ICE agents assaulting people, including citizens, is for the birds.

Phil with a screamer

Superb defending from Nico O'Reilly

Come on City!!!
