The ‘British values’ brigade in action.

Balaclava-clad thugs on the streets of Dover is a natural consequence of the demonisation of immigrants. If you’ve ever advocated for controls on immigration as though immigration were inherently bad, you are part of this. Ed Miliband’s mug. Keir Starmer’s speech. All part of this.

Great to hear Nigel Farage admit that he's a career politician.

Why do the Sunday political shows continue to trot out the certifiable idiot Tim Montgomerie week after week? He's a serial trump apologist whose credibility is utterly shot. Those shows have turned into panel shows with unfunny jokes.

That is not good enough Farage is heavily implicated and if Reform think getting rid of his top aides is enough then they have misjudged Farage has grifted his way through life and he should be the one accountable news.sky.com/story/politi...

That should send a shiver down any person with a moral compass Farage is a Trump apologist and seeking to emulate his bollocks conspiracy theories www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If the people of Clacton thought Farage would spend a bit more time representing them in the House of Commons second time round, it seems they're going to be disappointed.

🚨 Another Reform councillor has just quite... 📈 See how many have now quite since May with our tracker below.

We keep coyly snuggling up close to Europe; but when are going to go for the full liplock?

Maybe the rules are just dandy Nige... maybe the problem lies with someone else

Reform UK, which promises to "defend free speech" at all costs, has again banned Byline Times from its conference

🇪🇺 Jayne Kirkham MP: "Almost everywhere you go in Cornwall, you'll see a distinctive but far too small blue sign signifying that a building or something was funded by the EU." "It was transformational for us. The Leave campaign promised Cornwall would not be worse off. That has fallen short."

Makes a mockery of them going on about freedom of speech Reform believe in nothing of the sort and believe instead in authoritarianism Farage admires the likes of Putin for that very reason www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

📊 Research from Frontier Economics, commissioned by Best for Britain, shows that EU membership would boost UK exports by £43 billion each and every year. 🧠 It really is a no brainer.

❌ Ellie Chowns: "We now have less strong protection for our environment. Socially, politically, culturally, Brexit has been poisonous." "It's catalyzed a toxic political debate, polarization, the proliferation of disinformation, short-termism in politics, a discounting of rights and opportunities"

Farage has forged a political career out of complaining

Can anyone explain to me why millionaires get state pensions?

The Tories f**cked Britain with austerity and Brexit then made it a whole lot worse by putting Truss in power to test out the batshit ideas of Tufton Street think tanks... They are not only a spent force but proven architects of decline who are in no position to lecture Burnham on anything ...

An analysis by Burnham that's pretty much spot on. With the possible exception of BT, every privatisation has resulted in worse and/or more expensive essential services. As for Brexit, everyone with a functioning cortex knows it was catastrophic.

What a legacy ♥️ A study found that the Dolly Parton Imagination Library significantly helped prevent early literacy gaps. And children enrolled in the programme read much more often than those not enrolled.

Farage and Reform UK LTD’s two main targets are asylum seekers and people claiming benefits. Asylum seekers cost the UK some £4 billion. Yet tax avoidance costs the UK some £90 billion a year and they say or do nothing about it whatsoever.

Canada turns to the EU in response to Trump's hostility. This is exactly what the UK needs to do now - urgently.

The time for Proportional Representation is now. 🚨

A Poll in the Daily Mail clearly did not go the way expected. 84% of respondents want to rejoin the EU. #RejoinEU 🇪🇺

Here we go again with yet another nuclear threat, and naturally the russian 'opposition' media are at the forefront of the assault on Western hearts & minds.

@andyburnham.bsky.social The correlation between gas prices, which set the benchmark, and electricity prices urgently needs to be reviewed. We now generate a significant proportion of our energy from renewable sources, so using gas as the benchmark is no longer relevant.

Follow the money!

British "democracy" is an empty husk, hollowed out by a grossly unrepresentative voting system and mega-donors who have captured the political class. Now in power, Burnham has scrapped a commitment to electoral reform and is ditching a pledge to cap political donations. 🤔

Bad news for Nige.

Far from being a “stunning victory” that will put him on course for Downing Street, Nigel Farage’s “humiliating and demeaning” performance in the Clacton by-election showed exactly why we are now heading towards the end of his political career, rather than the beginning of a massive new chapter

Still gobsmacking that Andy Burnhams response to the deaths from the climate crisis has been to pledge to try & stop the sale of single use barbeques. A monumental mistake. Time to do the right thing. Fund our firefighters & say no to new oil & gas. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🔴 Reform UK Paid £440,000 to Firms Linked to Party Insiders Exclusive: Electoral Commission filings reveal payments to companies run by Reform activists, donors and a former party chairman bylinetimes.com/2026/08/14/r...

The problem with Farage’s lie about being advised by the police to stay away from the count on security grounds is that he’d already given the real reason.

"Breaking News, Clacton overwhelming votes for parliament to conclude it's investigation into Nigel Farage's corruption and finances and 5 million quid bribe." via We Demand UK meme via Truth Against Hate

50 green groups write to Andy Burnham demanding he be clear that climate change is the cause of the current extreme heat crisis. Greenpeace, WWF, Friends of the Earth and others say "the British public deserves leadership that speaks honestly about the nature of the challenges the country faces"

😂😂😂😂😂

Perhaps I'm being unfair (You think?), but references to dark matter and dark energy remind me of those old maps that say, "Here be dragons". Just admit you're making it up! 😂😂😂

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single year. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Funny how no one asked russia to halt strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

This is exactly what happens when parties such as Reform are questioned They resort to underhand tactics which go against democratic principles and turn to autocracy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This ⬇️ 'Language matters in reporting. From “legitimate concerns” to “angry, frustrated locals”, our press is downplaying racism and violence.'

So much for free speech Reform and their extreme right wing Ideologues will want to restrict our democratic rights to preserve the elites they protect Hypocrites, racists, misogynists and corrupt www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Clacton resident voices criticism of Nigel Farage to Megan Ruth, "If someone gives you £5 million, it aint straight" "If someone gives me £30 they want to know why" "£5 million. But no seriously, £5 million" "It's a lot of dough"

The facts everyone needs to know ⬇️ We need to take action now 🚨 2026 is on track to be the warmest or second warmest year on record. July 2026 was the driest July for at least 260 years. European countries are experiencing unprecedented fires this year.

A national poll, conducted in July 2026 by Ipsos, asked voters across the UK who they would prefer to win, Count Binface or Nigel Farage. Count Binface beat Nigel Farage by 12 points! Come on Clacton. Do the right thing. Vote Bin Face not Bin Man!
