Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

This is an excellent contribution in parliament regarding the masked thugs blocking UK ports

Great to see several MPs calling for action Here @sianberry.bsky.social calls for political action against the masked men in the streets, fascist policies, anti migrant propaganda and lies. 👏

A Reform government would force schools to sing the National Anthem and if they don't oblige parents will be encouraged to report them to the authorities. Yeah that's not like really scary and authoritarian schoolsweek.co.uk/reform-there...

I know I shared it before… but it’s worth repeating!

"It was at this point that an oyster went down the wrong way and blocked my ear canals, meaning I missed the whole conversation where I agreed to a foreign donor illegally giving us £500,000..."

Reform UK Conference 2026 This is all it will be remembered for.

Nigel Farage’s pile of financing scandals. Unexplained £5m from Thailand. Gifts from convicted fraudster. Willingness to circumvent laws on political donations Threats to judges, civil servants, journalists, parliament, anyone who disagrees. archive.ph/eiR9R

2) and 3) are intimately linked, in that the BBC (the organisation that really matters in the modern environment) treats 'claims by rival parties' as the operating frame for how it covers everything. The failure from Labour and the Conservatives to say 'this stuff is bad' is really, really bad.

If no other picture survives Reform UK conference this year, let it be this one. It is a teachable moment. #ReformAssault #Fascism

Like a medieval king, Farage threatens judges, civil servants, parliament to obey him or else. Will declare a state of emergency, make MPs sit 24 hours a day for six days a week until he gets his way. Already committed to withdraw human rights, equality, employment rights laws, and more.

The legwork, and the sting, which seems to have caught out James Orr, Nigel Farage and Reform-UK was carried out by Verbatim Investigations who have dropped their own take on the story.

Now James Orr has stepped down as Reform UK's Head of Policy after C4's report, questions remain for Cambridge – where he is Associate Professor. Byline Times revealed serious concerns about his activities there months ago. We all know there won't now be 200+ articles on him and his life don't we?

The Nigel Farage and Reform foreign donations scandal excluded from all but one national newspaper front page this morning. No sign of it at all on the front pages of the two papers which splashed the polls secretly funded by a Reform donor earlier this year

Nigel Farage resigns when he shouldn't, but doesn't resign when he should.

When I said I wanted something to distract attention from the £5 million gift, I didn't mean this.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

Spot on ⬇️ "There can be no doubt that 10 years down the line, we are weaker, less safe and more divided than ever before. Brexit has been a monumental disaster."

there are now no fewer than five separate financial scandals engulfing Reform UK www.ft.com/content/0426...

It's explosive. It's also completely predictable. To see Reform say on camera that Electoral Commission is useless and toothless wasn't shocking... it's plain to see.

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

Excellent article about Ukraine’s war with Russia - why the Wildberries drone strikes could collapse the Russian banking system. Also discussed in @snellarthur.bsky.social brilliant Behind The Lines with Steve Feldstein

The one thing I can't posdibly do is mention that small boat crossings are down by 44% this year, because scare mongering about this is the central pillar of my whole grift.

The Reform–Cottrell saga just keeps getting better and better... 😂😂

Forcing Farage to talk about the Brexit disaster is key to defeating him inews.co.uk/opinion/forc...

Meanwhile in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Farages Deform Uks untrained so called Councillors are now dropping like flies, but as usual it's been kept away from the main News. 22 of them went within just 2 weeks. thedailybritain.co.uk/reform-counc...

Never forget, Cameron's Tories brought Brexit because Farage's UKIP was taking a bite out of Tory polling. Without a care, Cameron & Cabinet bet the nation for Tory Party benefit; to the absolute disastrous detriment of the nation.

Farage has devastated our country. His Brexit campaign has crippled our growth, our businesses, and our opportunities. His rhetoric on immigration has poisoned our political debate and sowed deep division in our nation. He can never be allowed to enter Number 10.

Britain was perhaps the leading nation in maintaining a consistent principled line on Ukraine. We just threw that reputation away.

Trump wouldn't need immunity from prosecution or IRS audit if he weren't breaking the law. Hold him to the same standards as you and I are held.

As the Smiths didn't quite put it, 🎵 Ban the vox pop, Ban the vox pop. Ban the vox pop, Ban the vox pop 🎵

Whatever Reform’s ‘vetting’ process involves, it clearly doesn’t extend to anything as complicated as a basic Google search.

The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government. Nigel Farage wants us to leave it. Please think about that youtu.be/Fhrb5Z7ScME?...

The UK Treasury is losing £90bn a year due to Brexit, and UK GDP has fallen by 6-8%. Farage was happy to claim credit for Brexit. He should also claim credit for the economic damage.

The More Than 30 Scandal-Hit Reform Candidates Elected Last Week Voters last Thursday returned dozens of Reform councillors who have variously pushed Islamophobia, antisemitic conspiracy theories, Covid denial and praise for Tommy Robinson and Enoch Powell

They murdered a nurse who cared for military veterans & then called him a terrorist.

Nigel Farage, has proposed a mass deportation plan called "Operation Restoring Justice," which includes creating a "UK Deportation Command" modelled on the U.S. ICE. Don't vote Reform unless you want innocent blood on UK streets like we see in the USA.

UK budget freeze on income tax thresholds Over the next 5 yrs, 780,000 more people, the poorest, will pay income tax for the first time. Someone earning £50,000 will pay £9,512 in tax, an increase of £1,247 because thresholds are frozen. Can't grow economy by hitting low/middle income earners.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism". These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Brexit costing UK up to £90bn in lost tax revenue a year, new analysis shows www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering. Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

‘GDP reduced by 8%’ – Nine-year study reveals how Brexit decimated UK economy www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bre...

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country: 1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech. 2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.

Far from unleashing a new era of growth & investment, yet more evidence shows how damaging #Brexit has been. So much for the land of milk & honey promised by Brexiteers. New report has found that UK business investment is 12 to 18 per% lower than it would have been if Britain had stayed in the EU.

Most of the UK’s economic problems since Brexit would have been avoided if it had stayed in the European Single Market and Customs Union and it’s time to move closer to the EU, writes former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

The idea that BBC that has a huge number of senior managers & journalists that are privately educated Oxbridge grads, disproportionately platformed Leave in Brexit, platform Farrage at every opportunity, framed Corbyn as a Russian anti-Semite & banned the word genocide is left wing is laughable
