With Starmer making his active pitch to out Reform Reform today, it shows just how out of touch he is with reality. Labour can never beat Reform by copying them. They are losing more support to Greens and Lib Dems than Reform, and will continue to do so while they attack marginalised groups.

I'm sure there's someone in No.10 somewhere who is absolutely chuffed with getting the piece in the Telegraph, partying like it's 1998. They're not even fighting the last war. They're fighting the war before that.

We can think of no better person to understand the international forces — in tech, technology, ideology, and climate change — than explain what’s happening these days at a deep structural level than @nafeez.bsky.social So great for @bylinetimes.bsky.social to have him fully onboard

🔴Nigel Farage’s Reform a Bigger Far-Right Threat Than the BNP, Says UK’s Leading Anti-Racism Campaigner Hope not Hate’s CEO Nick Lowles says Reform’s rise is mainstreaming ideas that were previously taboo even on parts of the far-right bylinetimes.com/2025/09/25/n...

I can't say for sure that with Musk, Thiel and Ellison making their moves that Britain is being treated as a potential MAGA/Broligarch colony for their experiments in data harvesting and algorithmic capture - but it sure looks like it

Unintentional comedy from latest Live Trump Aneurysm... Points to Erdoğan - who has ruled Turkey for 23 years, is accused of rigging every recent election, in April jailed his main political opponent, then jailed the lawyers 😂 who filed an appeal - and says: "He knows about rigged elections." 👀

Conservative MP Luke Evans criticises Labour for announcing digital ID cards outside of Parliament LibDems Munira Wilson snipes back "Because the previous Conservative government never made announcements outside of parliament" - which of course they did #BBCQT

Fiona Bruce, "I must point out there are plenty of Reform UK supporters in the audience as well" Why? They have 4 MPs, no 5 MPs, no 4 MPs, no 5 MPs... #BBCQT

REMINDER: James Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, who was one of the lead attorneys that prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was wrongfully terminated from the DOJ just one week before Todd Blanche cozily met with Maxwell. Now, her father is being vindictively prosecuted by Trump.

Eat a sandwich and your political career is pretty much over if you're a Labour politician... Threaten violence... or cast doubt on the safety of paracetamol and boom you're the next Winston Churchill

Nobody ever talks about Anglican Ecclesiastical courts. I think a lot of the angry Sharia Courts people don't even know they exist.

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.

What a brilliant thread.

We have exported our greatest domestic product: stupidity

“Russia can sustain extremely high levels of casualties and losses in human lives. They don’t care about people’s lives.” However, “it is painful for them to lose money...” This is how the oil industry became the Ukrainians’ most important target."

Farage is so determined to suck up to the Trump administration that he's willing to put the nation's risk at health through dangerous insinuation. That's what is really going on here and its disgusting.

Explained exactly this yesterday. In the same studio

The perennial myth about migrants eating swans stretches back to at least 2003 when the Sun printed it as a front page story. It was later obliged to clarify that it had zero evidence. Farage must be fairly desperate to be trotting that one out www.itv.com/news/2025-09...

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?

Boris Johnson who didn't bother about our National Security with Russia influencing the Brexit referendum Says Reform UK is a threat to our national security

Gabriel Gatehouse,"What Reform UK is doing quite dangerously from a social point of view is exactly the same as what MAGA and Trump have been doing" "If you think there isn't a market for that kind of anti establishment feeling here in the UK" "Then we haven't learnt anything from 2016 and Brexit"

Left: Richard Tice tells ITV journalist that it's slander to say that Dr Aseem Malhotra is Reform UK's health adviser and smugly demands an apology Right: Dr Aseem Malhotra was introduced at Reform UK's conference as, "he worked with me to write Reform UK's health policy" #BBCQT

“Reform is adopting a policy of ‘national preference’ - the sinister policy of the far right in France. It starts with citizenship. Who counts as a citizen? It then shifts to dual citizens. Suggests they have divided loyalties. It ends up in very dark places, all about having the ‘right’ ancestry.”

At this liberal festival, @peterjukes.bsky.social challenged Yarvin on his repeated use of the N-word and support for scientific racism. He doubled down on his views - and pointed to the whiteness of the crowd as evidence. /11 bylinetimes.com/2025/09/24/c...

Okay - so #TheHack ends on the select committee and the cliffhanger about whether Nick Davies can save the Guardian. It’s now going to pivot to the ‘most investigated murder in British history’. If you want to know about that go here Www.untoldmurder.com

If you're watching The Hack tonight on ITV, learn the background to the series & the politics of the hacking scandal on After The Hack, an @impressorg.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcast w/ @peterjukes.bsky.social @nakedpolitics.bsky.social @femi-oluwole.bsky.social & MRC's Tom Chivers

Nearly 50 years after the late Robert Redford’s ‘All the President’s Men’, @itvx.com presents a new tale of journalistic heroism. Prospect’s @arusbridger.bsky.social (played by Toby Jones) helped expose the phone-hacking scandal. He retraces the true story behind the drama: www.prospectmagazine...

Robert Redford, me, Toby Jones - and a reporter who found corruption in his own backyard. Thoughts on the coming ITV drama, The Hack www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Mrs R: "There was a woman on the ward today who didn't want to take paracetamol. We've had to explain that we're not giving it to her because she's got a fever and we want her to feel better, but because she's got a fever and if we don't get her temperature down then her baby is going to die."

“It’s not that you can’t say what you want, you can. It’s freedom from consequence. As long as laws for racially-motived offences are still in place, the racists go out of their way to say they’re not racist, because the law still works and that is their problem.” - Mark on @mrjamesob.bsky.social

If everyone watched The Hack on ITV right now, we could start to repair our media, our discourse & our country. It is TV drama at its absolute best. I know most of this stuff & I’m reeling.

“Farage often says he lives rent-free in British politicians’ heads, but Trump lives rent-free in Nige’s. He’s The Donald’s emissary to the UK. An existence dedicated to sanitising Trump’s madness for a British audience” Crace nails the menacing idiocy of Farage. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I can understand that. The problem for all of us is that Farage is an extremely effective con man.

Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, Reform UK's Andrea Jenkyns response to Nigel Farage saying that Eastern European immigrants are eating swans Is that people in Lincolnshire are eating ducks from the river Even when it's pointed out that the Royal Parks say there is no culture of anyone eating swans

It’s easy to think that everyone is disgusted with Trump but I saw pro-Trump slogans and pro-Trump banners on that Tommy Robinson march in London. We mustn’t forget that there is another world of people out there who are being conned by Farage and his rich mates.

Reform’s plan, which it claims would net huge savings over the coming decades, would actually cost the UK about £70-90bn over the next ten years alone, new analysis of official statistics and forecasts suggests bylinetimes.com/2025/09/24/f...

Nigel Farage fails at science Could Donald Trump ever say anything so mad that Farage would disagree with it? On this evidence, no - probably not

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.

Farage’s evidence that Muslims want to takeover London: Wait for it. Taxi drivers. In Buckinghamshire. I’ve heard taxi drivers tell me lampposts are watching us, Covid was a scam and Aston Villa will win the premier league!!

This is key.

London mayor Sadiq Khan speaking to ITV London this morning about Donald Trump's comments against him: "I’ve got squatters rights for the amount of time I’ve spent in Donald Trump’s head. I’m just hoping he doesn’t send me an invoice for all the time I’ve spent there."
