“I’ll be completely honest with you. I’m not going to listen to no one. I’m going to ride down this road, whether they like it or not,” There's always one, isn't there? Sigh... www.theguardian.com/cities/2026/...

So, Robert Jenrick claims that Reform’s plan to bring back imperial measures might be good for growth because it could help exports to the US. Barking bloody mad.

"A UK firmly anchored in Europe would transform the country’s outlook and significantly weaken Russia’s influence." There, fixed it.

I just signed a petition calling on the EU to defend the International Criminal Court against Trump’s attacks. The EU has a powerful tool that could protect international law - mass public pressure will force them to act. Join me and add your name now: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-10...

Is anyone surprised? Lies are baked in with Reform, and no matter how many baths Sue Ellen has at the taxpayers' expense, she'll never wash off the hypocrisy and stench of fascism.

Substitute 'Reform' for 'Democratic' and you've got the UK version. Not so long ago the sight of young women protesters being beaten at a party political conference would've been the party's death knell. Now, not so much.

I grew up on stories of how my Hungarian family survived the siege of Budapest because my grandmother had the foresight to stock up with emergency supplies months before. Streeting's quite right to warn us. We're in for some very scary times.

“The lesson for the day is that no plaintiff is above the law, and no plaintiff is above the orders of the court,” Tobin said. So, Mr Trump, put that in your pipe and smoke it, as me dear old Dad would've said. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"The US ultimately leads the west by consent, not by right. Consent can be withdrawn. Burnham could start by ordering the closure of US military bases in Britain, offensive symbols of a hostile occupying power." This x 1000. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Posted by Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's Trump-whisperer. The truth for all to see, Trump's America is no friend to the UK and Europe, they are now a foe and a threat.

Bastard squirrels are digging up the bulbs I planted in pots, so I ordered a sonic squirrel repeller (I assume it deters ordinary squirrels too).

A defeated Trump may try to declare himself as Jesus reincarnate to rally the Christo fascists, Snyder warns. If so,he needs to learn the lessons of history. Caligula was the first Roman emperor to openly demand to be worshipped as a living god during his reign. It didn't end well.

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

No one in their right minds will go on holiday to the US now, looks like they want to discourage everyone from ever living and working there too. www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr...

I wonder how well Farage's Trump worship is going down in the UK now Hegseth's claiming NATO soldiers didn't do any fighting in Afghanistan. What a pathetic steroid stuffed little creep he is. I'd like to see him say that to the face of one of our vets.

Sarah Pochin complaining about the culture of rampant sexism and misogyny in Reform in ITV's exposé last night, is like someone jumping into a pool of hungry piranhas expecting them to behave like dolphins.

We've been warned before. Imre Nagy, Prime Minister of Hungary abandoned by the West in 1956: "...today it is Hungary and tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, it will be the turn of other countries, because the imperialism of Moscow does not know borders..."

"the loss of an anchor tenant for its Loughton project could undermine its ambition to float on Wall Street" Not the best of images when Essex is in serious danger of running out of water and which a mammoth data centre will only exacerbate.

An absolute masterclass.That's a man worth voting for. Bravo!

America, please note, this is how you do a protest.

Can my US followers tell me how Trump throwing Ukraine under the bus is going down? Is it getting any pushback from Republican senators and voters? Or is it business as usual in Magaland on No Kings Day?

Trump would be absolutely useless on Celebrity Traitors. He's an even more blindingly obvious traitor than Richard E Grant.

Perhaps someone could tell Shabana Mahmood? She hasn't got the script.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

Trump is handing Ukraine to Putin on a plate. He's a traitor, a liar, a thief and a child rapist, yet at least 32% of Americans still think he's fit to be President. Is it any wonder America's erstwhile allies will never trust the US again? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Are there any 'good apples' in Reform?

I simply can't imagine why any decent person would turn down an invitation to emigrate to the US... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump has deliberately put the survival of Ukraine and the safety of its civilians in danger by turning off Starlink. How much more evidence do we need that our so-called special relationship is well and truly over? Trump is a Russian asset, not an ally, and is putting the UK and Europe at risk.

PLEASE REPOST FAR AND WIDE SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE TRUMP STANDS

I have to say that as a woman I feel so much safer knowing there are proud, patriotic, Christian men in Reform standing ready to protect me and my daughter from Muslims and illegal immigrants coming over here to attack and abuse us.

I should stop being surprised by anything that Trump does or says, but is there any other US president ever who would even think of doing something as vile and grossly insensitive as this, or whose senators would not have have had him straightjacketed by now? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Is there any more barbaric state than one executing a man by firing squad and live-streaming his death globally? Or failing to kill someone by lethal injection twice, and sending her to hospital only to be fit to be executed again? Only in Trump's America.

"There’s something in the air about ... the flirtations, the deals that have been struck, the heartbreak." Heartbreak indeed for James Orr, Professor of Divinity and Ethics, caught flirting at Rules with dodgy donations for Reform on CH4's hidden camera. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/oc...
