Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

The last sentence of this comment is chef's kiss !

Five tests for nationalism in the next 10 days. Could be genuinely transformative. 🇷🇸 Serbia — Vucic lost (yay!) 🇧🇷 Brazil — Lula leads early count 🇮🇱 Israel — 27 Oct 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 1 Nov 🇺🇸 USA — 3 Nov One down, one looks promising, three to go.

Farage is charmless and thin skinned. Whatever political stardust he once had has long gone. Burnham is playing his EU hand brilliantly. Closer and closer cooperation with our friends across the Channel is inevitable.

Fallout from the Starlink restrictions could hit US weapons exports such as the F-35. There were already concerns that the F-35 has a built-in software kill switch. And the US actions on Starlink just turned that risk from theoretical to something proven and real. Very costly choice by the US.

Farage SHOULD be utterly finished, 'Should' 👿

Musk is an enemy of Europe. There is no justification for continuing to use his products

If you're still on X ... now my friends is the time to pull that plug. This very dangerous man needs to be stopped, not enabled www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Let there be no doubt. Trump is an enemy of Europe We so hope the good people of America take away his power in the mid terms.

Hey, Reform voters, with your flags and pseudo patriotism; Farage supports Trump and Trump supports Russia.

Who amongst us hasn't been provoked into saying black people are animals and the King is a secret Muslim who should be decapitated?

I just don’t understand it. What is it about my racist party full of racist people with racist ideas that seems to attract racists?

Years ago, Farage commented that there was no room for racists in UKIP. I took it to mean they'd have to join a waiting list. Reform are Continuation UKIP.

The Venn diagram of people who think ‘small boats’ is an important issue for the UK and people who are racists is a circle.

The ITV programme contains no surprises. Reform are a more formally dressed BNP. Same odious individuals, same cruelty, same stupidity, same outrageous racism.

Things that can be seen from space. The Great Wall of China. Tje Pyramids. This lads balls.

On the birthday of Margaret Thatcher, let us take a moment to remember what a cruel, heartless piece of shit she was.

I particularly love the distance travelled in a month by the Mail's Jason Groves, from "living in the past" to "old school values".

Badenoch, last month: Why is PM obsessed with Thatcher? SO WEIRD! I was not even born. He wants to take us back to the 70s. Badenoch, this week: I'm like Thatcher, a new Thatcher, possibly possessed by Thatcher, LOVE Thatcher, Thatcher was right, and I'll take us back to the 80s. Tory Conference:

The Tory party has killed itself with Brexit. It’s lost its mind chasing Farage into the gutter, saying unserious things, promoting unserious people who stand around in suits, arms folded, talking utter dribble to get a headline. It’s pathetic. We deserve a better opposition. This lot are shite.

Very disturbing that a political party has moved from saying that there should be no penalty for encouragement to violence, to calling for reduced penalties for literally blowing things up. A party manifestly not fit for political office.

I sometimes think Suella's real definition of Englishness is... White, English-speaking people with English-sounding names, and that she and other headbangers are just trying to put some kind of rules & genetic science around it. But it doesn't work. And it remains blatant racism.

Saying isn't doing. But Burnham lifted the omertà on: Electoral reform Wide-scale nationalisation Triple lock pension Brexit So now they're all in play. And that's all positive

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Will #BBCR4Today please stop obsessing about the "Triple Lock". It's not a good look when overpaid journalists with gold plated pensions actively promote cuts to one of the meanest state pensions in Europe.

Shocking to hear some on the left wanting triple lock scrapped, as if it's some unaffordable luxury! UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MIN wage is £25k but pension is LESS THAN HALF THAT at £12k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's old & vulnerable! #gmb

Sorry Andy. Lifting the ban on drinking in the stands would soon be regretted. And let’s be fair, you’ve got more important things to be speaking out on. Balaclava wearing thugs for a start.

TV ads for online gambling sites should be permanently banned.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Thread !

Before entering politics, I ran a women’s refuge. I’ve seen the real-life impact of misogyny. Sending these poisonous attitudes back to the dark ages is everyone’s business. We’re stepping up, providing the political leadership to make it happen. www.lbc.co.uk/article/nati...

Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.

Man who supported Brexit then fucked off to Monaco to avoid contributing a penny of his £15 billion fortune to public services makes the mistake of thinking anyone gives a shit what he thinks.

If Jim Ratcliffe wore 10 real £40,000 Rolex's on each arm, and they all got stolen, and he went into London every single day. It would take him 5,000 days, 13.7 years, and 100,000 Rolex's to pay back the £4bn he has dodged in taxes.

Man who lives abroad to avoid paying tax says WHAT?

I bring worse news. That poor woman who lives in Piddington & who @vicderbyshire.bsky.social interviewed after that ridiculous election has had her address leaked to Tommy Robinson & the Pink Ladies & she’s been doxxed by both of them. Wtaf is going on. These people all need to be proscribed now.

Jim Ratcliffe, like every billionaire, has achieved his wealth by financial sleight of hand. His insights are worth the square root of f*ck all.

If you think closing an RNLI station is done by people with "legitimate concerns" you really need to give your head a wobble. It's an unforgivable act of thuggery.

We are now going to see a rash of pointless micro nation referendums aren't we. This seasons flags on lampposts.

Dickie is spot on - anyone who investigates Reform is an activist. The only real journalists are ones who don't question our finances, like those unbiased purveyors of truth at GB News.

We could have been part of this instead we’ve got the Independent Republic of Pissington… Ffs…

If Totnes decided, in an unofficial referendum, to join the EU, I wonder how many pages of coverage the BBC would give to a cat that can play a banjo?

If baffles me why the BBC TV news is leading on the 200 posh Piddington nimbys who have voted to 'leave the UK'. These are selfish, middle-England Tories and their performative stunt will only add fuel to the fire of disinformation and prejudice against asylum seekers.

So when Piddington leaves the UK and its residents try to go to the Lidl in Bicester will they insist we lock them up as illegal migrants? And where? Because presumably Not In Their Back Yards

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions. Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

It would be no surprise if we saw more black clad far right thugs making threats this weekend. Likes of BBC actively giving them a prominent platform, and Labour Ministers and MPs spouting tripe about "legitimate concerns", is giving them what they want and helping "normalise" this racism. #r4today
