The #BBChave a lot to answer for. This is blatantly unbalanced, highly questionable and worthy of investigation. Has Farage used his millions to buy them?

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

This is really important.

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

The Duchy of Cornwall says it collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House. Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR. Previously, King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall. He was paying rent to himself.

leftfootforward.orgRoyal financial privileges show that we are not in it togetherThis week, after perfunctory scrutiny, the UK parliament approved a core Sovereign Grant of £99.9m (from 2027/28) for the King, a 93% increase from the £51.8m for 2024/25 and 65% higher in real terms ...

The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw

Powerful words that ring so true in 2026. They fell on deaf ears and led to the insurrection & re-election and now the total failure of US politics to restrain a madman intent on doing as much damage as he can while enriching himself as much as he can. What a travesty.

Worth watching this speech from *2019* at the end of Trump's 1st impeachment trail and the warnings it gave. A disgrace that Trump wasn't finished back then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUm6...

Simple answer - the majority right wing media not only let's him get away with it but continues to promote him... while many in Labour - for the most part - arw too timid to call him and his disgrace of a party out. Burnham has it in him. Needs to take the fight to Reform

How is Farage not entirely finished as a politician? He survives party gaffe after gaffe with ever thicker layers of gaslighting time & time again. Will the news media never give up this golden goose & consign his career, once and for always? #ArrestFarage #FarageRiots

It’s now a tsunami of racist, sex-pesting horror from Reform. Nonsense about “unfair targeting”, “disgruntled former employees”, “being provoked”, “vetting issues”, “banter” and being “on medication”… just make it worse. Bye bye Farage. It’s been shit knowing you. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/483...

No wonder Badenoch and Farage are shitting bricks at the suggestion that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Their whole business model relies on Brexit and the racist anti- immigration bomb that it detonated. Their next bright idea - to leave the ECHR - would delight Putin too.

Farage/Johnson/Brexiters hate the Brexit Russia connection… this is why… “Isolation from the rest of Europe is the result that Britain’s enemies wanted in 2016. Sticking to that path is the route they would choose for Britain again today if they had a vote.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Times from ten years ago this week. They were wrong. In fact Brexit is costing the UK economy roughly £100 billion a year. #ProjectFear

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

The US is now allied with Russia to lower the price of diesel, which is sky-high because of its war against Iran, which is being supported by… Russia. Make it make sense!

Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

90 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

By Suella Braverman's definition of Englishness as being "a lineage, an ancestry, a connection to the heritage of this country which dates back a few generations," I'm no longer English. So where shall I go and live when Reform comes knocking?
