Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Steve Reed on 25 March explaining that the £100k cap on donations "will therefore apply retrospectively, so it includes all donations from overseas electors received from today". Yes, but how are people who never bother going to Parliament supposed to know that?

So ... how many Tory MPs who voted for Kemi Badenoch as Tory leader did so as a result of 'public support' in polls which now turn out to have been faked? And how complicit is she in rigging the Leadership Contest?

It's nonsense to suggest that people who support Brexit and Reform are motivated by racism. And if you don't believe me, check out this perfectly reasonable tweet by prominent Reform member and former mayoral candidate, Arron Banks.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

Let me get this straight. Vicars and old ladies holding up traffic are terrorists but gangs of masked men in black holding up traffic are perfectly fine? Something wrong somewhere...

Nigel Farage has threatened to abolish the House of Lords, restrict court powers, and remove civil servants if anyone stands in his way should he become Prime Minister.This sounds eerily similar to certain 1930s regimes. Yet, the turkeys will continue to vote for Christmas.

As a very basic thing, we as citizens should not accept the presence of a private army of masked racist thugs on the streets of our towns... intimidating others and threatening to overthrow the state... There are some fairly obvious precedents for this stuff.

This morning at 7:30am, a group of men dressed in black and their faces covered, gathered in Dover. The men, members of the anti-migrant vigilante group Patriot Platform, proceeded to block the port of Dover and several roads nearby. Our briefing: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/09/05/p...

Return of the Blackshirts. Dozens of men dressed in black, wearing balaclavas blocked the road at Dover. Organised to frighten people Crime and Policing Act 2026: "the wearing or otherwise using of an item that conceals identity when in an area designated by police" is a criminal offence.

James Orr has been forced to step down from Reform UK for his unethical behaviour. Fortunately he still has his other job, which is teaching ethics at Cambridge University.

I'm old enough to remember Nigel Farage ruling out any association with Le Pen's lot "now or in the future" because he considered them "far right". But I guess that's ok now. Here is what he said in 2013 and 2015.

Farage encouraging a baying crowd to assault a woman you’d think would be the end of him wouldn’t you? It fucking better be or what’s the point in the law?

And they're going to get the same treatment as climate protesters who block roads and transport infrastructure, right? Right?

Yesterday I said my speech was late because the police warned of a threat. Now West Midlands Police confirm they gave no such advice. I don't know about you, but I don't pay my taxes to have the police point out every time I make up a bullshit story about them!

Incredible moment in the doc when Farage’s right-hand man Dan Jukes lists several foreign donors who’ve given money to the party via their kids. It’s not just one or two backers - it’s a huge conspiracy cooked up by the party to break the law. It’s bigger than we even thought

Astonishing if Orr keeps his Cambridge role. The university's reputation is already damaged - this would be cataclysmic.

"We just don't have British resident donors that would support us ... That's the grim reality". "The Electoral Commission...are completely useless. They're just so dumb & ineffective". Some jaw-dropping quotes in this film from senior figures in Reform. We need updated laws AND proper enforcement

I have to admit, I’m oscillating between ’of course he’ll get away with it, he always does’ and ‘surely this time the police will do their job’.
