Farage will no doubt be the first to condemn this Russian interference in our Brexit referendum.

1/7 🧵 In 1934 Lord Rothermere’s Daily Mail proclaimed: “HURRAH FOR THE BLACKSHIRTS.” His great-grandson now owns the Mail. His great-grandson’s wife has donated £50,000 to Reform UK. History doesn’t repeat itself. But sometimes the echoes deserve examination. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

That thug sabotaging rescue efforts, racist riots, flags on lampposts, pink ladies wanting to burn down hotels, doxxing charity workers, ICE-style deportation plans, threats to scrap the Equality Act and leave the ECHR… “legitimate concerns” No. A tornado of hate and prejudice set off by Farage.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

The hard-right crypto billionaires Delo and Harborne cannot be allowed to buy our elections by buying our democracy. Burnham *must* make the £100k donation limit retroactive and extend the limit to include UK residents too. There is no choice about this - Burnham has to act and act now.

The police need to arrest and charge these two - the man with the glasses who hits her with his stick and the woman with the glasses who pulls her hair!!! Interesting that this violence hasn’t even been mentioned on #r4today as it would have been if this was the Labour conference… #Farage 🤮

This is the one who pulled the hair of the poor girl! I hope she is charged with assault along with the the rest of the men. Anyone recognise her? What a vile individual 😡

Who would ever have thought that the BBC’s political editor would put out a single source claim that was both false and also great propaganda for Reform…

West Midlands Police: “We’re aware of a video circulating from the Reform UK Conference showing an incident with a protester. We haven’t received a complaint but would ask the woman to come forward. Anyone with any information should contact us on 101 quoting log number 924-050926”

Farage was - once again - lying when he said counter terrorism police had delayed his speech because of threats. West Midlands police confirm they gave no such advice.

Did Chris Mason bother to fact-check this after he just passed it on from somebody from Reform UK It's not as if Farage has used bogus security advice as an excuse before Chris Mason "Source tells BBC 'counter terror' police won't let Farage on stage"

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children. Read more: shorturl.at/Jx86o

We are lucky enough to live 25 mins from the coast. Today we drive to East Preston and walked to Littlehampton There has been a lot of investment in Littlehampton, but the first thing that greeted us was a shiny new flag pole and a Union Jack. Flags are now very prominent 😢

Reform now control the council and I guess their priority is to spend their money on union jacks and flag poles. Previously, the councils were Tory and Lib Dem. Hopefully, reform will die a death and investment in a potentially lovely seaside town will continue.

Farage can *never* be PM. His greed and needy vanity make him an enormous national security risk. He has no clue how to behave with dignity or probity. The day he gets booted out of public life for good cannot come soon enough. If Clacton has its wits about it, it could be in less than a month.

“Britain is economically weaker and poorer thanks to Brexit, for which Trump’s friend Nigel Farage was one of the main cheerleaders. A strong prime minister should make the case that populism of the kind Farage traffics in has failed to deliver for the people.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Who has taken over Ed Milliband’s Net Zeto mantle? I really felt he made an incredible impact, in a short time, and was very successful. I would hate to see his achievements vanish into the ether!
