Netanyahu Pushed for Attack on Iran Ahead of Israeli Election, Officials Say www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w... So he would cause a war to sabotage the elections? What a diabolical fellow he is.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

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

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w...

Chancellor John Healey, First Secretary Louise Haigh, Chief Whip Annalise Midgley and Education Secretary Lucy Powell, suggesting that the new Cabinet was more sceptical about Europe. “Healey is an Atlanticist, he doesn’t like Europe,”. Nandy and Mahmoud too. All useless.

So the new Reform newspaper - The Reformer - is under the "Editorial Leadership" of Mick Hume - former leading light in the Revolutionary Communist Party, Editor of Living Marxism until it folded after that ITV libel case. As I've said many times ... Farage’s various parties always attract the RCP

Funny isn't it how the "we're protecting our streets" people always start menacing anyone who questions them

Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️

Reform's entire strategy regarding the ITV revelations by the undercover journalist is "why aren't they investigating all the other parties because there are bad apples in all of them..." Meanwhile Here's Alan Feeney Reform councillor in Solihull

You’ll be waiting a long time for lazy lump Nandy to do anything at all.

A government spokesperson told Byline Times that ministers were now "exploring what action to take" against MPs like Nigel Farage double-jobbing as presenters on GB News, as Ofcom's former standards chief tells us the watchdog has taken a "two tier" approach to the channel

Perhaps he could spend some time solving the dire social and health problems of Clacton which Fraser Nelson details in today’s Times.

New research published this week makes Britain look even more unusual: 35 of 37 European countries studied had no recent examples of serving politicians presenting news or current affairs programmes.
