“There is not a single sign of any overall economic damage done by Brexit” says Nigel Farage Meanwhile back on planet earth by almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK Is anyone seriously buying his bull****? Get the FACTS here👇 youtu.be/DQRzdz-7R8U?...

I see the BBC are promoting reform again, with their leading story being about Reform’s plans to slash welfare. This is a party with 5 MP’s and falling support in opinion polls, and they are being given a loud hailer. Why?

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

Left: Nigel Farage, "Over the last two years I've really enjoyed the job of being an MP" Right: Nigel Farage has missed 63% of Commons Votes

Andy needs to be much tougher in countering them than Keir was and should never try to appeasement them. Might as well get hung for a sheep than a lamb would be my advice to Andy as the bastards are out to get him whatever he does.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

Yes, and you're not George Washington or Abe Lincoln either, pal... You're a combination of James Buchanan's incompetence and Warren Harding's corruption. With added degrees of arrogance and stupidity that are all your own. Go to hell... 🤬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's an excellent piece. The answer to how the likes of Ridley thrive is very simple. He's an Eton educated Oxford graduate who is also a hereditary peer. He may be exceptionally stupid, but that is enough in this country to cover you in armour plating and propel you onwards in your career.

Gonna post it again... Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Always clueless. Suella Braverman "I don't know what that was all about." Finally realises 30 seconds later. "It was a spoof, that's going to go viral now." Make it viral.

Robert Jenrick illegally rushed through planning permission to try help a billionaire avoid £45m in property tax. But he is sick of seeing Asylum Seekers break the law. Because that’s only for him and his rich buddies.

Looking for that missing 60 minutes report/news segment on CECOT? Apparently it was on a Canadian streaming service for a bit. See what Trump and his corruption did not want you to see. @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @democrats.org Where are you? archive.org/details/insi...

They lie about the ECHR. Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved… It’s NOT TRUE. We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING. For liars. Again.
