LOL

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

imo the only response to the far right is harden governance, human rights and equality, regulate media and put this beyond the meddling of a parliamentary mood swing. Railgun us back into the EU and lock the door so they can't yank us out.

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist… All because @andyburnham.bsky.social suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement …do you perhaps need reminding of this?

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

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.

Definitely this 👇👇👇

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

Our polling shows 63% of people support freedom of movement with the EU. Andy Burnham's catching up with the country on this. Watch @pimlicat.bsky.social on Politics Live 👇

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

Nigel Farage, Daniel Hannan, Aaron Banks: the remaining Brexiters look so stale and dated and old. Listening to them is like eating mouldy bread from the back of the cupboard open.substack.com/pub/arguably...

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

YES. (But let's hope it doesn't take quite that long.)

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then "performative pietism" is surely the panic room inside.

Freedom of movement = no more queuing at the airport. 'Nuff said.

'Leaving the European Union was the biggest act of economic self harm any country has ever committed' Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, told #BBCBreakfast Andy Burnham 'is spot on' about having an "honest discussion" ove the prospect of returning to free movement between the UK and European Union

Oh dear God

Yes 👏 Finally, a Prime Minister being honest about the damage Brexit has done - and the only real option on the table. EU membership. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e36kyk1qx5o

“I would like to see that happen in my lifetime” PM Andy Burnham tells Good Morning Britain he believes Brexit has weakened the UK economy and its control over immigration. But he insists the British public must have the final say, ruling out a move to rejoin the EU during this Parliament

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is right. One estimate is of a long term hit of 4%. Another says it’s already been 6-8%. By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK youtu.be/DQRzdz-7R8U?...

💯The case for democracy is not that voters are always right, or wise, or good. It's that they can correct their mistakes. That's why it's so dangerous to have billionaires controlling the media or regulating the flow of information. It shuts down the immune system of democracy.

Again, worth analysing Burnham as if he is really good at politics: moving red lines from things EU can't accept (free movement) to things it might (euro). Changing terms of debate on an issue from negative (uncontrolled immigration) to positive (Brits can go abroad for work).

Well, looky here… 👀

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

It's the people and politics that are against being a signatory to the ECHR that proves the need to be a signatory to the ECHR.

First Orban, now Vučić. Both fundamentally undone by rank corruption of their regimes. Which is so often the reality of the authoritarian right in power. Really worth paying heed to in Western Europe right now

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

"Trump’s return to power has made the US pivot away from Europe more explicit, while Russia’s war against Ukraine has made the costs of acting alone hard to ignore. "Britain may have left the EU, but it cannot escape this geography."

The best response to Russian aggression and an America we can't rely on? EU membership. Rejoining the EU is the best way to keep us safe. Ellie Chowns MP: We must "cooperate with our allies and especially our closest European neighbours".

"Stockpiling was illegal during the war..." One of the weakest (and, for some reasone, most repeated) arguments against taking basic steps to prepare for a short disruption, like losing power for a couple of days. Keeping a wind up torch and some bottled water is not "stockpiling" ffs.

“The evidence is really clear in terms of 20% down in exports to the EU, 16,000 businesses no longer exporting to the EU, it has been the red tape on the EU deal we got, has been damaging to the economy” Angela Rayner

According to former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie - Tice wedding descended into chaos when Mike "concrete" Graham turned up very much worse for wear... fell asleep during Richard's speech and then got embroiled in a fracas with Dabid Bull after seizing a microphone & trying to give a speech in Latin

And true to form, Farage and the Tories (Philp) respond by being totally dishonest about it… Freedom of movement with the EU requires EU citizenship. Immigration requires visas. Talk of ‘betrayal’ and ‘uncontrolled migration’ is the mark of a liar or a fool. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Two major polls today putting Labour back into the thirties. This one puts Reform firmly in third place and would give Labour a majority of around 134

Farage caught out in blatant lie He pretends to care about poor people while proposing our NHS replaced by US-style private healthcare where the super-rich get excellent care the well-off go bankrupt the poor left to die "Our NHS is not safe in Nigel Farage’s hands" www.youtube.com/shorts/Q9fnI...

Feeling a bit rough this morning after being up all night comforting Richard Tice, who was crying hysterically.

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.

I confess this made me smile.

The kindest thing to do now would be to ignore her, but she makes it very difficult.

In his Daily Mail column today, describing Trump as "toast," Richard Littlejohn mocks the President's attempted annexation of Greenland as being mad, using the phrase "nurse!" Here's what Littlejohn wrote about it when Trump first suggested it

Just a reminder to all Reform UK members to put your clocks back to 1936 tonight.

Last week, Hungary’s parliament voted to strip the anti-LGBTQ provisions out of Viktor Orbán’s 2021 child protection law, removing measures targeting gay and transgender people. https://bestforbritain.substack.com/s/weekend-wire

“Trump's British apologists are finally starting to calculate… their potential reward for supporting this lame duck President in the US is no longer worth the growing cost to their reputations in the UK” Too late, Farage. Too much MAGA money. Too much fawning. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/trumps-apo...
