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.

Leaky Sue strikes again.

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

Whatever the truth of the Musk/Trump theatricals over Starlink, we should pause to think about the fact that key defence systems are controlled by a psychopathic megalomaniac and a white-supremacist egomaniac.

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

If you’re reading today’s papers and thinking, did I watch a different Badenoch speech, may I recommend our sanity-restoring review? “The same people who could not build a railtrack from London to Manchester for £100bn, will build the Kemi Death Star for 10bn. It’s so ludicrous as to be offensive.”

🔴 Reform UK Mayor Has Firm Struck off as Another Files No Accounts in Six Years Exclusive: Reform UK’s Sam Journet branded “Britain’s worst councillor” as opponents demand he be suspended as Mayor of Basildon Council bylinetimes.com/2026/10/02/r...

Simon Clarke MP was born on 28 September 1984. That's all you need to know. #r4today

Surprising this story isn't getting more coverage...

A reminder of some basic facts for #r4today 'journalists'. Ask yourself why they seem so wedded to a right wing ideological shibboleth about welfare spending.

Farage is never drinking pints when he doesn't know he's being filmed but is always drinking pints when he does...

That's an average of 1 every 3 days. We're tracking them all: https://bestforbritain.org/reform-uk-defections-resignations-tracker/

"for all the people “celebrating” this as a win “against” Meta, you’ve been fooled. Meta just cut a deal to put itself in charge of how social media works going forward. this is Meta taking a “please regulate me Daddy” approach to the government, & getting exactly what it really has been asking for"

This is incredible. The total lack of awareness as this person takes themselves into public ownership.

This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

I see Fraser Nelson makes the same point I did yesterday frasernelson.substack.com/p/six-flaws-...

Not sure who did this but they should be arrested immediately.

“The fact that the shadow home secretary should use transparently absurd statistics to promote his xenophobic and economically illiterate policy shows that he is either a liar or grossly incompetent at his job." >insert 'why not both?' gif

Chris Philp (Shadow Home Secretary) has now, finally, deleted this video. It contained a number of (obviously) false claims based on his "research" which (deliberately or through incompetence) misinterpreted Home Office visa data. x.com/CPhilpOffici...

‘If voters think I’m a crook, they can get rid of me’ say Farage after stopping a process that would have better informed the voters.

“The most recent [survey] finds that supporters of Farage rank “being English” above “being a parent” as a marker of who they think they are.” Fintan O’Toole on Brexit and the undiagnosed, untreated and ignored issue of English Nationalism www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Russia is inflaming the debate on immigration in Britain as part of “increasing ambitions to disrupt our way of life”, counter-terror police and experts say It has directly and indirectly paid right-wing influencers to spread messages that align with its political goals inews.co.uk/news/putin-i...

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Fuckinell! They're literally smearing Count Binface already. The joke candidate. My god these people are pathetic humourless worms 😀 @countbinface.bsky.social

Once again forcibly reminded of Patrick O’Flynn’s description of Farage as “snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive”.

Ever since King Henry III rolled out the Communist Manifesto at Westminster in 1226.

He's always been this person. He's just got better at it. A shallow little man driven entirely by envy and greed.

Excellent

This is great. He's getting absolutely hammered on this and every answer he invents is worse than the one which preceded it

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

Absolutely disgusting. So many, many people have just lost all sense of decency.

Labour won by 20 points and net immigration is down by over 80% in two years. But sure write your column again.

Reliably great analysis from Adam

Really not beating those 'gone into hiding' rumours

New research from me and @antonspisak.bsky.social – we identify how much Brexit has reduced goods and services trade with the EU, and what’s responsible: leaving the customs union or the single market? Answers: large hit to trade, mostly due to single market exit 🧵 www.cer.eu/insights/cos...

This is the perfect Kemi Badenoch line: obviously crazy, coarsens our politics and the kind of thing that collapses if she ever put herself somewhere she might face a gentle follow-up question. What does she think the Gestapo *did*?

Well, this from the BBC story seems very poor from the police (@hopenothate.org.uk are truly exceptional). There is far too much complacency around about online disinformation and threats from malevolent global actors.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenot.bsky.social Huge kudos to all involved for doing the job the UK police & CPS failed to do: naming the alleged spymaster & clearly showing Kremlin’s role. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More trouble for Tommy Robinson. He’s been working with Russia propagandists to incite violence in the UK well before fuelling pogroms in Belfast last week, from his well heeled perched in Moscow with agents like Malofeev BBC report t.co/xTQuLCVNDa

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

All he wanted was to be PM. Everything else and everything else this turnip of a man says is absolutely irrelevant

The BBC 10 o’clock news says the right wing idea of ethnic minorities being given preferential treatment in criminal justice is likely to become a “growing fault line in our politics” WITHOUT POINTING OUT THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. What’s the point of the news if it doesn’t correct disinformation?
