I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Andy Burnham has apologised for Labour’s initial response to Israel’s military action in Gaza, saying that the party “didn’t get it right” and needs to “do better” under his leadership, as he signals a significant shift in the UK’s approach to the Middle East

Well, it’s great to hear that after years of breaking their own impartiality rules, inviting Farage onto Question Time *how many times?!* they are now pursuing rigorous journalism. www.thenational.scot/news/2626517...

Whether it’s politics or sides of the Mersey, I’m uniting red and blue.

A very important shift in position by Andy Burnham. I, along with colleagues in Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East, have been pushing hard for this – 1/3 x.com/andyburnham/...

There’s big BS in the opening part of this article - the dystopian vision of the near future - prime land has not been taken out of food production in favour of solar in Britain. It’s not allowed by regulation, it hasn’t and doesn’t happen.

NEW @gabrielpogrund.bsky.social reveals tonight that the Met Police have been investigating donations to Reform UK from fraudster George Cottrell's mother. The investigation has been ongoing since last year and two people have been interviewed by police.

What’s that, Dale? You want to give me an unconditional personal gift of £5million to do whatever I want with? Sure! I just need to fill out a form. If I didn’t declare it that would be silly.

This is terrible terrain for them. On race, religion, guns etc there is just a very small constituency for this stuff.

Ich bin ein binliner

Farage complains to the electrol committee that local residents in #Clacton are being intimidated by @countbinface.bsky.social activists

We can be rid of the hyper toxic Farage, with his legion of dodgy funders and his Trump mini me antics. Britain doesn't need this man in politics. Bag him and bin him…:) www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Faithful representation of the interview…..more importantly, this is a really important by election, called by Farage for no good reason - Count Binface is the face now of the anti Farage movement. It’s Bin Day in Clacton.

Gary Stevenson clearly cares deeply about inequality, and passionately wants a wealth tax. But he is uninterested in the detail of either the problem or his solution. He exaggerates his expertise, and his research is sloppy. Given the size of his audience, that's a shame.

That evening I found the tweet. It wasn't deleted. It was a thread about whether Gary Stevenson could do basic research buff.ly/VmSCBNp I told the production team afterwards. Never got an apology.

I don't usually write personal stuff, but a few words about my experience of being interviewed by Gary Stevenson. It started with a nice chat, comparing taste in hoodies... then the tone changed. He demanded to know why I'd deleted a tweet criticising him.

Stevenson's main and perhaps only policy objective is a wealth tax. That has many problems, which we wrote about in detail here: buff.ly/rdAJsyC But if you read that Resolution Foundation report, Stevenson's wealth tax simply can't solve the inequality the report identifies. Wrong target.

The part of this I’m totally with, is the buy British part - but I see it as self reliance, breaking free of our dependence on US technology, software and hardware - it’s overwhelming and undermining at the same time. Time to stand on our own two feet. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

New - Fraudster Cottrell was introduced as Farage’s chief of staff, says ex-Reform candidate Story by @benquinn75.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage’s secret donor George Cottrell met Tommy Robinson at a private event after a far-right protest in London. He later attended a large demonstration in support of Robinson, previously unpublished photos show. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/... Latest from Insight and me.

Farage appears to have made his 'resignation speech’ in a hurry after the Guardian approached him for comment on this story - another revelation, this time a potential criminal investigation into his sources of money.

The supposed free speech absolutist censors checkable facts from being shared.

I cannot tell you how upsetting this is for me and so many others who have lived through the continued senseless and random extra-judicial kidnappings of our neighbors. Stand strong Seattle. We are with you.

Did my first longish drive with the IONIC 6 today. Holy shit, what a ride! I'm telling you: Decent EVs are a world ahead of clunky ICE cars. Yeah, yeah, I know: Not everyone can afford a buy right now. But here's the thing: These are the future. There ain't no going back. Embrace it!

The UK has immense untapped potential. The Civil Service needs young people with fresh perspectives, even if they don’t fit the traditional "Civil Service mould". Delighted to welcome this year's Summer Internship cohort, a path for talent from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to work in government.

Ask not what I have done for Clacton, ask what Clacton can do for me #VoteBinface

Unbelievable, just when you think they can't sink any lower Sky news have doorstepped Count Binfaces family😆

Nigel Farage has built a personal-political fiefdom where positions of power are seemingly handed out to those who give him and his party the most money. That’s ultimately why he’s being hammered by the media and why his support is cratering…

stop the bins!

Ultimately, the real reason why Farage is 'fighting a bin' is that Kemi Badenoch has led the Tory party to no-man's-land, but the reason why that might not be irretrievable is that Farage is cracking up anyway.

Glad I’ve lived long enough to see this headline.

Not so much a political party more an OCG.

Proper cats in a sack territory now; thats Tice, Farage and Jenrick all facing investigations about dodgy finances. Lota hostile leaking going on

I have donated to Count Binface. I think this is the first time I have donated to a political candidate. Ko-fi.com/home/coffees...

Oh no

No one wants to talk about this but the Count’s title is strictly a European system of rank. If he was a real Brit he would be Earl Binface.
