🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage's Reform UK has been fined £2,187 by the Electoral Commission after failing to identify itself as the publisher of campaign material distributed to voters.

I’m not remotely surprised by this decision. Apparently, when the clean air zone was due to be expanded in Manchester, Andy Burnham put a stop on it because it upset a few taxi drivers and white van men. Sadiq Khan stood his ground in London and it all worked out fine.

Chaos in Washington The new Private Eye is out now.

This is truly pathetic from Ministers. Labour’s claim to more than 27 new Jackdaw jobs doesn’t hold up. The green economy is >£100bn a year and growing fast. There is no future in fossil fuels. The Government knows this, but chooses profit for Shell over protecting our climate.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

Jack Smith emerges as a surprise witness who could expose evidence in Trump’s lawsuit. The BBC subpoenaed Smith for a deposition as part of its defense, according to court documents filed today. The BBC knows how to fight. www.newsweek.com/bbc-wants-ja...

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

Wonderful news!

What a picture.

1) making countries accept returns 2) problems finding third country hosts 3) building enough detention centres 4) legal obstacles Oh and the unforgivable inhumanity… Farage’s hateful fever dreams need to be torn down like this - with the contempt they deserve. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/482...

NEW: Kemi Badenoch’s flagship party conference policy document, The Right Way, overestimated the cost of net zero by nearly £500bn, seemingly after someone accidentally double-counted figures on a spreadsheet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Polanski is toast now, isn’t it?!

Well, well, well! What do you know?!

No doubt all the people who printed, posted or broadcast this now disproved story respect their readers/viewers/listeners/followers enough to correct the record asap… www.theguardian.com/news/2026/oc...

Same donor as Nigel Farage, maybe?

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

Braverman blathering on about who can be English, Farage starting his me-me-me tour of the country telling audiences he’ll fix the country in 100 days or they’ll all sack themselves… apart from him… and Yusuf fanboying that racist thug who got refused bail… A moron festival. Come on, UK. Enough now.

Tice still says they won’t guarantee the triple lock. What a hypocrite!

🚨 NEW: Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives have blocked Byline Times from attending their party conference, just weeks after she condemned Reform UK for banning critical journalists. Byline Times chief reporter Josiah Mortimer says his application was rejected without a specific reason.

Suella Braverman on Ferrari, pushing her book and as vile as ever. Using her usual provocative language, referring to ‘patriots’ and ‘invasion’. Why is she still given a platform?

Wow! Andy Burnham.. what an orator. I have renewed hope!

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.

No amount of money can buy you popularity. For every person who likes Farage, there are 2 or 3 who really loathe him. The number against him might even go up, the richer he gets. He simply cannot make people like him. And we will not change our minds. We’ll do whatever we can to make him fail.

Still worryingly high though!

Rebuilding our relationship with the EU “is the cheapest way to boost the economy, the fastest way to unite Europe in the face of security threats and the best way to get leverage on a global system that no longer has an American anchor.” So obvious it hurts. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

So, £72million from crypto billionaires to get Reform “ready for government”. Absolutely no chance. They have over 300 candidates to find and this is their track record… They attract total liabilities and Reform is too racist, corrupt and idiotic to recruit anything better.

James O’Brien brilliant on this situation today. Never hear him quite so angry. Justifiably!

Never heard James O’Brien as angry as he is this mornnng re the forced closure of the RNLI station by racist thugs. An outstanding monologue!

Harborne: “My £36M is a philanthropic gift to the nation” Delo: “My £36M creates a level playing field for Reform” Farage: “I’ll slash CGT to save you £100M/yr” Reform: bought by millionaires to enrich millionaires. Reform voters… They. Are. Laughing. At. You. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

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!

Nick Ferrari making a real fool of himself on LBC just now, and coming across as rude and ignorant, when discussing the Lucy Letby situation with a renowned medical professional.

Why can't they integrate?

Sums things up very graphically. That's what the fascists want - only they haven't thought it through!

Politics for Sale Reform UK received a second £36m donation in as many days, as Thailand-based crypto billionaire matches £36m from another billionaire. Billionaires with criminal record or living abroad buying influence. Normal people people can't compete. Get ready for Farage propaganda blitz.

This is me too!

What a ridiculous presenter Vanessa Feltz is!

Absolutely’

They’re trying to make fools of us all now, aren’t they? Disgraceful!

Having first tried being a ‘one nation’ Cameron-Tory, then a remainer, then a rabid brexiter, Jenrick has now decided that his route to power lies in being a nasty little far-right shit. A total loser scrabbling around for ‘likes’ in the cesspit of Reform. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/robert...

Disgusting! Blatant bribery now.

The ‘British values’ brigade in action.

Germans vote (neo-)Nazi in 2026 and, just as in the 1930s, we all know exactly which British papers, politicians, presenters & pundits will be absolutely loving it… Spoiler alert: they also love Trump.

“Its 2017 report on the impact of Brexit warned that the UK would need to invest in skilled workers in the construction industry, but that has failed to happen.” How Brexit and dumb-arse “red lines” continue to stop us in our tracks and stifle growth. Mad. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Not hard to see why Reform did not announce their plan to abolish Personal Independence Payment until *after* the by-election..

Dear God what a tragedy

Totally normal thing to do, nothing to see here www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nadhim Zahawi on LK looking absolutely ridiculous and disrespectful in a football shirt, just after a politician has been murdered, trying to look like a man of the people. We all know that if this, tax avoider, hadn’t joined Reform he’d be wearing a suit.

That's a big "Fuck you Trump" message from them. Well done to them all. Bravo.

Now Jenrick is using Henry Novak again to promote his political agenda. Despite the fact that Henry’s family have asked him not to. What a despicable individual he is!
