This time 3 months ago we were a bunch of wankers whose war dead weren’t worth a squirt of piss. Now he needs us. The bloke’s a fucking clown.

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won. You broke it Don, you fix it.

No doubt the Free Speech loving Isabel Oakeshott will be all over this and down the nick in Dubai protesting against it... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

A tax barrister sued me personally for £8m for libel after we linked him to a tax avoidance scheme. Today the High Court struck out the claim, granted summary judgment, and ruled it was a SLAPP. The judgment is highly critical.

Left: Nigel Farage's leaflet says Reform will cut taxes Right: Nigel Farage says he never said he would cut taxes

BREAKING: The DOJ has reportedly deleted over 65,000 pages of the Epstein files.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse. 1/2

“And it is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure and, in the process, fill the pockets of a few.” 2/2

I wish the football media had the bollocks to talk about as to why one of the clubs in England, who were charged with 115 offences 3 years ago, have not been charged yet rather than how long a poxy corner takes.

Truly the Fyre Festival of strategic campaigns.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

Finally, the thing we were promised in 2024: boring stable government inews.co.uk/opinion/reev...

“In a recent study, [it was] found that Thames Water made at least 8,499 illegal discharges from its sewage treatment works between 2021 and 2025, representing 22 per cent of all spills.” This is what happens when our essentials are privately owned. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

The migrant workers/slaves who built the city is geopolitics. The dirty money, the sanctions evasion, the uneasy relationships with neighbours, the war UAE funds in Sudan... Anyone living there is exposed to geopolitics. Just now they can't pretend otherwise.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

He’s desperate to find a war.

I just can't believe we'd be having a discussion about divisive politics in the same way if Goodwin, an actual blood and soil nationalist who would dispute if those same Muslim voters were English, had won. I can't believe we're having it without evidence that Muslim voters did swing majorly Green!

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis. Hmmmmmm.

"The Royal Family is anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian, and it makes Britain look pretty antiquated," says Lewis Goodall. Should the monarchy be reformed, abolished or are people simply "not arsed" about it any more? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/peop...

. The former Labour PM Gordon Brown is right - don't vote for the lying snake-oil salesman Nigel Farage and his bunch of second-rate tories in Thursday's byelection in Gorton and Denton! #r4today #bbcbreakfast #GMB #politicslive #PMQs #C4News #Newsnight #toriesgone600 #GortonAndDenton .

Powerful moment in the Commons as Starmer calls on Farage to apologise for the Reform councillor who shared a post calling for Labour MP Natalie Fleet to be shot, pointing out that when Farage faced death threats Starmer condemned them. Farage totally ignores that & asks about the Chago Islands.

A reminder, one day ahead of a by-election in which the Greens are favourites to defeat Reform, that the Daily Mail owner's wife recently donated £50,000 to Nigel Farage's party

This is stenography, not news reporting. The BBC ought to provide some context, such as putting the scale of the changes which Reform claim are possible into context. This omits the major policy of revoking ILR and deporting legal migrants at unprecedented scale. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah Matt turn off comments. Why? Maybe to stop people pointing out that: a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election d) All of the above?🤔

Reform UK suspends Matt Goodwin by-election campaign manager over ‘antisemitic and misogynistic’ posts www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage has announced that Robert Jenrick will be Reform UK's Shadow Chancellor

If you have a Royal Family, you have deference. If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system. If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power." Why would anyone want that at all?

At this very moment both the BBC News and Sky News channels are yet again showing a live speech by Nigel Farage. When will they start showing every speech by @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk live as well?

Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are. Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated. A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

Farage is clearly misleading the public. The main reason that net migration fell by 445,000 (year to June 2025 it was 205k, having been 649k a year before) is that immigration fell by 401,000. The BBC should fact-check/verify and report that this was untrue.

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social

"If Elon Musk has taught us anything, it's that you can make immense amounts of money and still be a complete prat." @mrjamesob.bsky.social doesn't hold back on Jim Ratcliffe...

🚨 BREAKING: Jewish activists heckle Nigel Farage during the launch of Reform UK's Jewish alliance "My grandmother fled Germany, you would deport her!"

Starmer is in the death zone - there's only one way to save him inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Has anyone asked Nigel Farage what he thinks of his "resilient and brave" friend Donald Trump posting racist memes on Truth Social?

go off jack white

Trump supporters are really going with, "I haven't seen it" in regards to the 38,000 times his name is mentioned in the Epstein files. Yes, 38,000 times. (Source New York Times)

Congratulations to Nathan Gill’s successor as Reform Leader in Wales. Bizarre to pick someone who has spent the last 27 years living in London and abandoned his role as a councillor a few weeks ago. Bit of a kick in the teeth for overlooked local Reform representatives.

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??
