Now here’s an idea. What about if we have a national appeal to raise money for Clacton, raise millions and tell voters there that we will release the funds to spend on the town the day after they vote him out at the next GE ?

#PoliticsLive so today’s balanced panel is a Tory peer, a former Tory turned Brexit Party candidate and Stella Creasy, oh, and Chris Mason, speaking on behalf of Robbie Gibb. Where is the balance that the BBC is supposed to provide in a time of a massive Labour majority and LD’s with 70 odd seats

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't. 'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't. 'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

#BBCNews your headline tonight is not reporting the News, it’s a constructed political argument being delivered by Chris Mason no doubt at the behest of your politically appointed Board members.

🇷🇺 From 2019 - isn't that odd?!? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/oct/10/brexit-party-meps-vote-against-measure-to-combat-russian-propaganda

31,000 and rising

#SkyNews really impressed by Matt Barbett holding Danny Kruger & Reform UK to account this morning.Perhaps you can get him to do a training course for other presenters as they seem incapable of asking the obvious difficult questions of a party full of racist,over privileged grifters.

GB Energy: Expanded solar rollout to save NHS trusts estimated £65m More of this please: "Solar scheme's latest phase to enable tens of millions of pounds to be reinvested in frontline services at more than 70 NHS sites, government says" www.businessgreen.com/news/4520876...

Badenoch’s ability to own goal spectacularly never disappoints. It’s like shouting “look it was us, look how shit we were” 🤣🤣 Key China spy case witness removed 'enemy' from evidence under Tories www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nathan Gill who went from UKIP ⏩ Brexit Party ⏩ Reform UK has admitted to taking bribes to speak pro Russian and anti- EU statements? Photo collage ➡️ Oleg Voloshyn and his wife Nadia Borodi ➡️ Nigel Farage with Nadia Borodi ➡️ Nathan Gill with Nadia Borodi ➡️ Nigel Farage with Nathan Gill

🔴UPDATE 🔴 'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Pro-Russian Sympathies Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told @bylinetimes.bsky.social it is ‘inconceivable’ the Reform Leader did not know about Gill’s pro-Russian statements bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

We now have two v prominent advocates of Reform - both Matthew Goodwin and Isabel Oakeshott - arguing that Shabana Mahmood (so Rishi Sunak and Paul Ince) can't be English. That was a settled question long before this match in 1998. This kind of radicalisation by online racists would harm Reform

Politics Live idea of an essential contribution to debate is to have a landlord who named his pub,The George Orwell,to talk on Digital ID. The landlord then has to be shut up by the presenter before he moves onto 15 minute cities and reveals he is a conspiracy loon. How far has the BBC fallen 😢

I'm not in the hall listening. But reading this on the train heading back, this from Starmer calling out racism is ****ING excellent www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls on the country to 'celebrate difference and oppose racism' Delivering his speech to Labour conference, the PM warns: 'We can choose decency or division, renewal or decline'

@skynewsrss.bsky.social Trevor Phillips is frankly ridiculous. His interview with Steve Reed doesn’t allow Reed to talk about any issue, but is now talking semantics on the meaning of “patriotic” and trying to define “treason”. We would like to hear real answers, not Trevor’s ridiculous questions.

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...

The Conservative Party chair is saying the 60,000 people in hotels would have been deported to Rwanda. The capacity of the scheme was 300 in year one

@skynewsrss.bsky.social I have just watched you interview Farage about Starmer , why are you not asking him to reveal the real funder of his home in Clacton ?

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

“I just exchanged contracts on a house that [sic] I’ll be living there.” Repeats, “I’ve bought a house in Clacton.” Farage clearly stated he has a beneficiary interest in the property. If he provided the purchase costs, then he is the deemed owner - _exactly_ as Rayner was - and owes stamp duty.

When talking about the next election, it's important to remember that we are currently roughly half way between this tweet and when the next election will actually be held. Good luck predicting anything

Nigel Farage lashed out at questions over his tax affairs when we asked him about not paying stamp duty on his Clacton pad.

I mean this seems like a legitimate question from @annaturley.bsky.social

Finally, a TV journalist pressing Farage on his own words

Can we convince you to continue your campaign against those who seek to get out of paying stamp duty, @thesun.co.uk? How about you, @telegraphnews.bsky.social? Surely, you're outraged about this, @dailymail.co.uk? Anyone?

Anyone know if Farage’s wife has ever set foot in this house in Clacton www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice co-owns a second home purchased for £4 million in 2013, Byline Times can reveal – despite attacking Angela Rayner for supposedly owning a “property mountain” bylinetimes.com/2025/09/05/r...

"We will police the streets and not the tweets" says Nigel Farage, who previously demanded the police arrest a comedian for making a joke about him

This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I suppose Rayner can now sell her posh flats in Glasgow, her Chelsea mews house and £19m London townhouse, plus her yacht, while she works out how to get the National Crime Agency to unfreeze £75m of her assets. My bad, that's Michelle Mone.

Rayner resigns. Why won’t the broadcast media go after Farage? Is he like Trump, too good for ratings www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

🔴Kemi Badenoch’s ‘Free Speech’ Conservatives Ban Byline Times From Party Conference The ban on covering the party’s annual gathering came despite Badenoch’s repeated commitment to “fight” for free speech and a free press bylinetimes.com/2025/09/04/k...

Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

Sky News Mhairi Aurora is now operating like a spokesperson for opposition parties. She is not a political journalist, she is pushing an agenda. This is either an editorial decision by Sky, or she is out of control. Can you @skynewsrss.bsky.social answer which one it is ?

@darrenpjones.bsky.social congratulations on the new role. Let’s hope your excellent communication skills can start to get the message out about the good stuff being done.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social your sports news story on the Afghan Refugee Women’s football team was great. Now try showing an ounce of that compassion and empathy in your news reporting around asylum and stop pushing Farage’s agenda.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social people with life sized cut outs of Nigel Farage in their living room aren’t “ordinary working people”. This is pathetic, your promotion of Farage and the asylum issue is shameful. It’s like Rothermere’ Daily Mail in the 30s

🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers. Not just in fleeing persecution abroad. Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores. But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

Convicted for 17 indecent assaults of women - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... But he's not a migrant, so will RW folks be bothered?

Remember that viral story last week about Angela Rayner bulldozing allotments? Which even the allotment society somewhat debunked? I looked into one of the sites and it’s wilder still: they are *increasing* the number of allotments, not cutting them. capx.co/angela-rayne...

Does anyone else remember a couple of months ago when a Republican terrorist shot four people killing two of them in an effort to give control of the Minnesota legislature to Republicans?

@thangamdebbonaire.bsky.social your treatment on Newsnight last night was disgraceful. Chorley prioritising Yusuf and then cutting you off at start of your response . Then telling you he wasn’t raising his voice when he clearly was. This behaviour is unacceptable and needs calling out. #Newsnight

Zia Yusuf being given a totally free rein on Newsnight. Matt Chorley “let’s not all gang up on Zia” and shutting up Thangam Debonnaire. Chorley also lets Yusuf avoid outlining how exactly he would protect kids online whilst getting rid of the Act. Shameful #Newsnight

Let's make sure they know we've had enough of pushing this grifter
