What's Caerphilly and Clacton got in common? Neither's likely to see Nigel Farage today.

When windy place your best ear to the bark of an oak tree, and with a hand stop all noise entering the other ear When you get used to the embarrassment from the looks of passers by, you can concentrate on listening THROUGH the tree to the trunk & branches working with the wind

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country. Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

Seems Nigel is a performative fraud.

If you get fined £150 for pouring half a cup of coffee into the Thames, how much do you get fined for dumping two million tons of sh*t? The answer of course is you have to pay Thames Water another £3bn a year.

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?

Now, there's a thought...🤔

Reform hate migrants coming over here.. so threaten to migrate to get away from them.. It’s like the Reform councillor Liz Williams who will potentially go to the ECHR to get a court ruling overturned about election fraud, you know because they love the ECHR 😂

Zack Polanski has just confirmed that rejoining the EU is an aim for the Green Party. The Green Party is the only party promising this.

Broch-tastic news. Taking experimental #archaeology to the extreme! Such a fantastic project, great news for #Caithness and Scottish archaeology. #IronAge #Broch #Scotland www.northern-times.co.uk/news/scotlan...

You know how Reform hate the European Court of Human Rights, and want the UK to leave it ASAP.. Well, Elizabeth Williams of Reform is contemplating taking her case to.. wait for it🥁🥁🥁only the flipping ECHR 😂 Honestly, you couldn’t make it up, and you don’t need to bc they are such a bunch of 🤡🤡

Parties who aspire to power in the UK seem to need constant reminders that other countries exist, that British people live in them, and that those countries won't take kindly to the mistreatment of their citizens. (Only seven years after the Windrush scandal broke.)

“I’ve been listening for weeks Lieutenant but no sound of approaching Zulus.. All I’ve heard is the Director General of the BBC telling staff to bury the story on Farage’s Clacton house, about a month ago and since then.. complete silence”❗️

Until Margaret Thatcher decided we needed to Privatise it the UK had the cheapest Water in Europe, among the cheapest Electricity and cheap rail/mail. Now we have ripoff Water, the world's most expensive electricity and the most expensive rail/mail in Europe.

Experts have developed groundbreaking imagery of what a Reform UK government would look like if it ever happened..👇🏼 ‘Nough said❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

The new book shop that is about to open in thd middle of Berwick-upon-Tweed! I am so looking forward to this!

Farage's duplicity on Russia makes him totally unfit to lead our country Farage fears his desire to reach Downing Street might be thwarted by this simpering stance towards a bloodstained war criminal inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

Yes, it's true. Trump really did post an AI video of himself - in a crown - dumping shit on people protesting against him. This is a man Nigel Farage calls "inspirational".

Sorry you've been a victim of fake news. I said this morning to @vicderbyshire.bsky.social that the Green Party had passed 123,000 members. A couple of hours later it's out of date. @greenparty.org.uk have 126,000! 🎉🚀 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Season of mists and mellow (big band) music to chop 1½ kg of green tomatoes to. Green tomato chutney stage 1 completed!

This👇🏼 is exactly my point Reform’s much publicised “success in the polls” is massaging of “surveys” masking the true sentiment of the public who voted for LibDems 7 times as more than Reform Purely Propaganda by MSM to depict Farage as a political heavyweight not the lightweight chancer he is..

Zia Yusuf hates this, because it mocks his ignorant followers. That is enough reason to love it.

Oh Yea.. Just a Reminder...👍

I will remind people, every single Billionaire in the UK gets an average of £320,000,000 of benefits a year, mostly in tax they allowed to avoid. It ain't that Disabled Person on Motability ripping you.

Yep...

Two days ago, I did something for the first time in my life: joined a political party. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is the first person to inspire me to do this.

Did something today for the first time in nearly 30 years: Home made Scotch eggs! (I've yet to master the runny yolk bit, though...).

Lower bills. Fund the NHS. Invest in our communities. My long form conversation with @lewisgoodall.com 👇🏼 youtu.be/j8hiBI6T_24?...

British.

Lest we forget one month ago Angela Rayner resigned over underpaying stamp duty on her £800,000 flat in Hove Within a week Farage exposed not to own a £885,000 house in #Clacton he claimed he’d bought & accused of avoiding £44,000 in tax by funding his girlfriend to buy it It got buried quick eh❗️😡

From 2019...

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone. And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Today on mainstream Media you saw the faces and heard the names and stories of Israelis held hostage. But you didn't see or hear the Palestinians held hostage by Israel, except maybe to mention them as terrorists. Do you see how biased the Media is?

I'd give house room to any of them!

Poot! Gong bath postponed due to lack of take-up. However, that does mean I can get my sourdough baked tonight and not rush the moussaka that I've made for tonight. And several days afterwards! 😂

I am now the proud owner of a Be-Ro baking book (9th edition - 1931). Childhood memories, although I think my mum's was from the 1940s. I may once again attempt scones: maybe their recipe will work... (My scones are improving, but not where I need them to be). And a gong bath this evening! Ahhh!

Grifter!!!!

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

Remember that front page saying Nigel Farage has 9 jobs? Well, he's been working harder than ever for anyone except his constituents in Clacton, as it is revealed Farage has 12 other sources of income other than his parliamentary salary. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss. If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Now there's a thought...

Saw this on fb yesterday. Well said, that man!

Whether you're a Green Party supporter or not, this stinks!

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

The burgeoning migraineous headache I managed to keep at bay yesterday is doing its best to take over today. (The price of aged neck/shoulders). At least most of the waiting apple crop is now bottled and waterbathing on the hob, the sun is shing, and rugby's on the tv.

Fun Fact - Kemi Badenoch (formerly Nigerian) wants to send migrants back where they came from was born Olukemi Olufunto "Kemi" Adegoke 1980 in Wimbledon. Coincidentally her mother travelled from Nigeria to UK for medical treatment and gave birth here… So presumably she’d send herself to Nigeria 🤷🏼‍♂️

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
