Right-wingers. Good to see them bad-mouthing each other.

When Reform criticises the Conservatives, they’re really criticising themselves 👀

LEAD the voters don't just follow. Some in Labour are frightened of their own friggin' shadow.

🚨 Melanie Onn: EU freedom of movement debate risks undermining voter trust The Labour MP argues: “Just as the wounds of Brexit begin to heal, there is a risk of pulling out the staples prematurely.” “Political trust is hard won and easily lost.” www.politics.co.uk/2026/10/mela...

Can we please make him pay for lying? It's the only way this nonsense stops.

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

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.

Russia is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by intentionally attacking civilian infrastructure – including vital energy systems – in Ukraine, an independent UN investigations panel said on Monday.

Russian ballistic missiles struck campus territory, a park and a metro station. There are killed and wounded. Russian terror is constant, they are killing people daily. Ukraine needs air defense!

Burnham wants Britain back in the EU in his lifetime and a debate on free movement, but rules out rejoining this Parliament. As a former @LibDems North West MEP, I welcome the discussion. We cannot wait another 10 or 20 years for action. 🇪🇺 Our place is in Europe.

Trump supports Viktor Orban to go for Secretary General of the UN. He's also likely to be supported by China & Russia. If this happens the UK & France should veto it & kill it off. Orban as UNSG, would be a puppet for Trump, Xi & Putin, it would spell the end of the UN, which is exactly their aim.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Churchill: “Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last.” The danger of appeasement. You don’t defeat authoritarians by borrowing its language, validating its framing or sacrificing next group in hope that you’ll be safe. You defend democratic values.

In Kharkiv one of the bodies is literally torn apart by Russian missile after an attack. Body parts are scattered across the street. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine" - Trump. Bastards. Sick terrorist Bastards.

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Elon Musk not only controls the satellite systems that the Ukrainian army - and other European armies - rely upon, he also controls the algorithms that govern a large swathe of the European information space. Europe needs to decouple from this clear and present threat to their security. My latest

nixons.substack.comMusk’s Power GrabWhy Europe must decouple from Elon Musk; what France can learn from Greece; is Andy Burnham winging it; why the chokepoint wars are so hard to escape; and the cost of Europe’s deadliest summer

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

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

8 days and we'll get to truly investigate what Ted Lieu said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again ⤵

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

It's a good job Suella Braverman claimed £45,000 for water bills on her parliamentary expenses. If she had failed to declare a ten quid overpayment on Universal Credit, she'd have been in serious trouble then.

Billionaires say their wealth is just unrealized gains and can't be taxed. Yet somehow the ultra-wealthy found nearly half a billion in cash to influence this year's midterms. #TaxBillionaires support #UniversalBasicIncome

Banks can afford an increase in the ‘windfall tax’ aka bank levy - they say so privately. But why are we still talking about this - we pay them 4% interest on their deposits, their cash piles, built of our deposits….then charge a 3% levy on their profits…..profits we boost by ~£30 Billion a year.
