The leader of the far-right GB in Wales pleads guilty of having received RU cash to speak well of Russia in the European Parliament Imagine how many of them are actually there.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Finally. "Rachel Reeves has pushed for an "ambitious" youth migration deal with the EU in a bid to improve the outlook of the public finances ahead of the autumn Budget." Brexit has been a huge block on youth opportunity, mobility and economy. Time to break barriers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This thread shows why I privately wonder if we should even dignify Farage’s latest vehicle with the name 'Reform UK'. It's the Nigel Farage party – a continuation of the Nigel Farage party that has existed for two decades. It's him, his lackeys, his policies. And when he goes, it goes.

Just a reminder folks. bsky.app/profile/pete...

At last! Starmer attacks Farage… www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Apparently the Americans at the Ryder Cup are behaving appallingly. Not only abusing the European golfers but also their families. Americans rarely pit themselves against the rest of the world (the World Series is a joke) but they are the absolute worst losers. No idea of sportsmanship or fair play.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On this one, Farage might actually be going too far for some of Reform's less diehard supporters. Even leaving aside the absurdly inflated claims of savings and the logistical nightmare it would create, the retrospective nature of the proposal goes against popular notions what is and isn't 'fair'.

“One possible sign of desperation is the reported presence of units made up of soldiers infected with a variety of diseases, including HIV & hepatitis, wearing armbands marking them out as sick, being sent in to battle” More mobilisation? Unpopular But Ukrainians are suffering manpower constraints

A lot of sensible people get squeamish at labelling Nigel Farage “far-right”, but his policy of cancelling the legal status of tens of thousands of settled immigrants can not be politically described as anything else. Reform are campaigning on a policy of cruelty & xenophobia.

Nigel Farage is, and always was, far right, from his schooldays. The squeamishness about calling him out is one of the reasons we’re in such a terrible state today.

THE NHS WRECKER: FARAGE’S DISASTROUS PLAN Nigel Farage has been warned his bid to deport legal migrants could cripple the NHS and care sectors that rely on them

Farage fuels hate and division - progressive voices need to tell a different story! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/23/keir-starmer-to-launch-progressive-fightback-against-decline-and-division-fuelled-by-far-right

Putin is an idiot. He may have succeeded in rising to the top of the Russian mafia and surving there as a despot, but beyond blanket bombing cities out of existence, he's an utter loser when it comes to military strategy. Russia can't beat Ukraine – so what chance would it have against NATO?

Jimmy Kimmel is coming back. It’s proof that you still have power | Robert Reich

'Everytime you think it can't get any worse...in he comes with the most extraordinary nonsense.' As Trump links paracetamol to autism, @mrjamesob.bsky.social feels we ought be 'better at distinguishing between normal occupants of the presidential office - and baboons'.

This is becoming really frightening. Every single decent politician must speak out against these flag waving Nazis. Remember although they are thugs we are many, they are few’. We must stop the racists spewing hate from taking over our towns | Letters www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

This is a question for all of us to face. 👇 “It is a progressive emergency,” one MP said. “We are at a moment in history where our kids might ask us: ‘What did you do?’” Labour MPs will hope Starmer’s words after far-right rally signal shift in tone www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (with complete lack of empathy) on full display here. For Trump, it was never about Kirk. It was always about who the shooter was. And now that he knows, he's gonna move on as quickly as possible.

I think this article by @pollytoynbee should be shared widely. All decent people should now rally to one cause - to defeat Reform. Labour should refocus. 👇 From now on, Labour has one mission only. It must focus on saving Britain from Farage | Polly Toynbee www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘The prime minister increasingly looks like a man next to a burning house, offering to buy a new bookcase and rug’ Yes attack Reform. Angela Rayner’s exit proves it. Unless Starmer is able to meet this moment, Reform is on the path to power | John Harris www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire. Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.

The unprecedented verbal kicking that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was given by @raskin.house.gov in US Congress merited significant coverage in the British press. But it didn’t get it. @neilmackay.bsky.social explains why...

Unsure how Labour thinks this will win it votes. It merely tells Farage his basic premise is correct and deserves support. The UK is showing similarities with Weimar Germany. Rather than trying to seize control of the narrative, Labour and the Tories are running scared of the far Right.

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

The only country to have left the ECHR in this century is Russia... and they were expelled. Is that really the example you want Britain to follow?

Reform UK Ltd platformed an antivaccine conspiracy theorist, a lady who pled guilty to inciting people to burn down a migrant hotel and did not know the words to the National Anthem. The party of patriotism, my backside!

“Labour have lost some support to Ref UK (8% of Labour’s 2024 electoral coalition), but the growth in support for Farage’s party has come mainly from other sources: •42% of his new supporters came from the Tories. •33% were non-voters in 2024. •16% had voted for Labour”

ICE representatives, just a small thought for you all to take on-board. “The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg fundamentally rejected the idea that an individual could escape criminal responsibility by claiming they were merely following orders” In layman’s terms…..YOU’RE FUCKED!

3. Refusing to introduce Proportional Representation. Under our First Past The Post system, a party with a minority of the vote can achieve a huge majority (as Starmer did with 34%). There is no way Farage could become Prime Minister under a PR system. Only under FPTP.

I love my hometown of Chicago (now a Philly girl - Go Birds). Stand strong Chicago. Clearly trump doesn’t know who he is dealing with.

Is there any republican left who does not understand that Trump supports Putin & not the West? 1. He praises Putin all the time & now even his servant Lukashenko. 2. Trump has imposed no sanctions on Russia or tariffs, but big tariffs on the EU & Ukraine. /1

“Mr Farage you lied about buying a house in Clacton! You lied about the authorities stopping you holding surgeries because of a risk to your life! You lie! Your policies are pure fantasy you talk down the UK, and seldom show up in Parliament!” Are things you’ll never hear from Kuenssberg or Mason

We’ve been banned from Reform Party events for two years now. Why does Nigel Farage lie to Congress about this? @bylinetimes.bsky.social @josiah.writes.news

Western troops in Ukraine would be ‘legitimate targets’, Putin says

In a functioning democracy with a decent press, these would be wall-to-wall headlines: Fury as Farage Urges U.S. to Punish Britain Farage Accused of Undermining UK Sovereignty But no... "The stamp duty receipt that ended Angela Rayner’s career" FML

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

At parades and in the halls of global power, America has been sidelined, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. China’s, Russia’s, and North Korea’s autocrats “feel free to act as if they don’t even think twice about Trump or the country he leads.”

Putin says western troops in Ukraine would be ‘legitimate targets’ as European countries pledge security support. That makes it clear that Putin has no intention of respecting a peace treaty, and shows that heavily armed Western troops will be needed in Ukraine. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

"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

Steve Reed has been appointed as the Housing Secretary - one of the most critical and challenging briefs, with the key target of delivering 1.5m new homes. He was previously the Environment secretary.

Oh Farage now thinks he can edit history, does he? Turn that into yet another source of conspiracy theory and menacing nationalism. Not happy with just lying about the present, he wants to do it about the past. Have a nation of controllable know-nothings waving flags and hating on foreigners.

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A message for Nigel Farage and Reform: We will hold you to account. They've taken at least £2.3m in oil and gas donations and their true agenda is serving the super rich. It's time for us all to challenge power & wealth and that massively includes Farage.

The ECHR is a British creation that protects us all. While other party leaders talk about leaving it, rewriting it or watering it down, Liberal Democrats stand firm.
