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

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.

Take a moment to remember what we promised Brexit would deliver: a well-funded NHS, less immigration, more jobs, flourishing businesses with no red tape, easy to get on the housing ladder, boom time for farming, fishing and steel industries... I do hope you're enjoying it.

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

ITV footage shows racist, sexual, violent rhetoric among Reform members. These lunatics say “King Charles is a f***ing Muslim… " and want him to be beheaded. They want concentration camps for migrants, violence against minorities. Return of the Nazis, 100 years after the Cable Street resistance.

“That is the language of child abusers, frankly.” The shocking footage unveiled in ITV’s undercover investigation into Reform that made Emily's “flesh crawl”…

Americans: the idiots already willingly voted in the people your guns were supposed to protect you from. So it’s probably a good idea to outlaw them so that the idiots can do slightly less damage. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Incredibly big and clear drop in online support for Reform, after Russian data centres destroyed. Only one conclusion, Reform have support from Russia whether they know it or not.

"Not to mention the oldest known UK remains, aka Cheddar man, was of dark brown complexion. This is a great question for Cruella, Farage, Lowe, Reform, Restore or any of other racist brainwashed individuals or tribes to answer " via The UK Against Hate

Ok, firstly, how did I miss this and secondly, why isn’t Michael Gove’s name not mentioned in the second article??? Can you imagine if this was a former Labour MP???????

Apparently "Kemi" has "fresh solutions" uniquely tailored to Britain's current problems. <excitedly prepares to take notes> Cut taxes, reward the wealthiest, punish the poor and sick, alienate our allies, deregulate big business, and privatise any remaining state function. WAAAAAAIT A MINUTE!

Suella Braverman too proud for benefits... Went to university for free Studied in Europe using the heavily subsidised Erasmus program Claimed ALL her rent, energy, council tax bills for at least 5 years Millions of pounds in expenses claims She just doesn't call them benefits

The UK Daily Mail obviously did not like the results of its own poll. Its own graphic portrays 75% as less than 50%. #UKPolitics #Brexit #EuropeanUnion

I'm furious about the two Iranians who came across as part of the surge in small boats created by my Brexit and under a Home Office run by my MPs Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick.

“The Tories are taking the public for fools. Across 14 years in government, they added just 500 prison places and closed 23 prisons. Now Kemi Badenoch expects the British people to believe they'll build 50,000."

Here is how politics, in most cases, works: Rich and powerful interests, whether in fossil fuels, finance, big tech, media, meat, pharma or foreign governments, make a demand, and use their sophisticated tools to persuade a government to adopt it. The government adopts it. Please read whole🧵

Thinktank linked to Reform UK calls for abolition of state pension. Means-testing even though people have paid for it. Proposes abolishing inheritance and capital gains tax; cut corporation tax. Enrich the wealthiest. No means-testing. Chaos and cruelty inevitable.

Just a few short years ago Calvin Robinson was a GB News presenter, a regular guest on various talk radio stations, Between 2019 and 2021, a school governor and a regular contributor to The Mail and Daily Telegraph. Now? Well now he's just an open antisemite.

Just checking in with the Bad Place to see what “Father” Calvin Robinson is up to these days.

Just 4 months after the local elections, Reform UK (RefUK) have lost 158 of their local councillors: -55 resigned -42 went Independent -28 defected -24 were kicked out -5 lost their seats -2 disqualified -2 suspended. Appalling record - and a waste of taxpayers’ money!
