@mrjamesob.bsky.social Biggest takeaway is how stupid these people are and how malevolent their leadership is. Farage and co are like evil shepherds herding these idiots together. Unfortunately for them a few have leapt the ditch and are now playing with the traffic.
With Reform launching their own newspaper, sending it to millions, you can return it to them:

Andy Burnham has made a fantastic short video on his proposals to the triple lock to fund a National Care Service.
Please share far and wide.
The media must not win.
I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.
Wealthy want UK govt to ditch pensions triple lock, cut welfare spending.
Silence on corporate welfare
Oil/gas, water, energy profiteering
HMRC not collecting £59bn last yr
Poorest 20% paying higher proportion in income in taxes than the richest 20%.
It is always about hitting the poor, old, sick.
@lbc @mrjamesob.bsky.social Listen to Richard Tice on Radio Live 5 this morning and watch him on BBC Breakfast. Very, very aggressive and antagonist to the point of being offensive. They're in their death throes. They're dying.
Just had a thought. Farage registered a £9,253 benefit from George Cottrell funding a Belgium trip in April 2024 - before the GE.
This is the time that Farage and his allies say he was "not in politics."
He declared that, but didn't declare the £5m Harborne gift. Something doesn't add up there...
Our exciting new announcement is that we want to cut benefits for disabled people!
This will help to fund our plan to slash capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, benefitting crypto billionaires like Christopher Harborne, who coincidentally gave me £5m.

More true today than it’s ever been.
I'm 60 years old and lived in the UK all my life. I've waited this long to spot an indigenous snake in the wild and finally I have, something to do with the ridiculously hot weather we're having here. Unfortunately it's as flat as a pancake. Anyway I think from it's markings it's a Grass Snake
I don’t understand how Farage can think “everyone cares” about EU bureacrats (he made a mint of that), and “everyone cares” about migrants earning a meagre living to survive, and yet “no one cares” about a £5m bung and £1m a year from GBNews to him.
Does he think we’re that stupid?
Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26. The year when the whole club fell apart before De Zerbi put it back together again. So much drama on and off the pitch, and they’ve ended up in the same position: 17th, but with everyone feeling unusually unified.

Voters in Gorton and Denton can take a FREE personality test today. Simply go into a polling booth and if you find yourself voting for Matt Goodwin, you'll know you're a twat.
The UK economy grew by a faster than expected 0.3% in November
Growth was driven by an increase in industrial output, the Office for National Statistics said, helped by the return to production at Jaguar Land Rover's facilities following the cyber-attack there
People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.
Last year saw:
The lowest murder rate per capita since records began
The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century
One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades
I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
Almost there. Less than five hundred signatures needed..

Nigel Farage needs investigating by the police for the same reasons as Nathan Gill.
His whole party is rotten and the rot starts at the top.
No Russian money can be allowed in British politics.
Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments
Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.
NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.
