What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

Finally looks like we may be getting somewhere... @andyburnham at #PMQs just now "“I can tell the House today that I have asked the chancellor and the energy secretary to look at whether we can remove standing charges from gas bills and to report back to this House at the earliest opportunity.”

My dad fought in the war and he wasn't a racist. My late mother was a teenager and dedicated her life to helping refugees. My cousin is in her 80s and "fucking hates racists". You don't get a get out of racist jail free card simply for being old and having happened to have lived during a war.

On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

Essential viewing for all Blueskyers from Wales

If you're still on X ... now my friends is the time to pull that plug. This very dangerous man needs to be stopped, not enabled www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

Quite a slow seller - so if you have friends in Somerset who may like the cut of my jib ….

Truth 👇

Somehow the press didn't think it was in the public interest to report on an Oxford academic who was, at that point, as far as they were concerned, also Michael Gove's girlfriend, being charged with possessing indecent images of children 🤷‍♀️ 7/

The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

Baby, life's what you make it Can't escape it Theresa May sings the hits of Talk Talk, Friday 9pm ITV.

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.

Wow. Donald Trump is giving money to Putin’s war machine so he can keep killing innocent Ukrainians and attacking democracies across Europe. The UK must lead a coalition of the willing that stands up and says no.

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

JOINT STATEMENT OF THE FOREIGN MINISTERS OF CANADA, DENMARK, GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY, JAPAN, THE NETHERLANDS, UNITED KINGDOM "As committed supporters of the ICC we regret and strongly disagree with the announcement of sanctions to be imposed upon the Court by the United States."

There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks. Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard. Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.

Austerity 2.0 is it chaps? I’m always amazed at how these guys derive genuine excitement at the idea of slashing public services

Fabulous idea! shop.rnli.org/pages/christ...

I spat out me beer…

Reform want to indoctrinate our children. Freedom of (and from) belief is a human right. humanists.uk/2026/09/10/s...

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

On Dolly Parton Day, I'm remember how she... -Gifted millions of free books to kids -Ensured musicians she worked with got union benefits -Helped fund medical research and the COVID vaccine -Donated millions to communities hit by natural disasters -Funded high school band programs She is missed!

MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient? OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming O: 😊

💥 There are now over 17,800 emails that have been sent💥 Not bad, given that we only started this on Friday! 🙌

Oh, Viz.

🤔 ICYMI: Nigel Farage leads a political party. He’s a sitting MP. And he now hosts his own weekly primetime show on GB News. 🚨Broadcasters are required to present news in an impartial manner, without political bias. 👇 Add your name to demand that Ofcom takes immediate action

Laura Kuenssberg asks if it bothers Labour's Bridget Phillipson that people who create jobs and pay a lot of tax, citing, Jim Ratcliffe, move abroad - except, that's not the full story. My View: Did you know companies owned by Jim Ratcliffe have received public support worth around £630 million?

The asshole wants the benefits but moved to Monaco so he doesn’t have to pay UK taxes. He’s a greedy financial predator and I really wish he wasn’t an owner of Man Utd.

Man who supported Brexit then fucked off to Monaco to avoid contributing a penny of his £15 billion fortune to public services makes the mistake of thinking anyone gives a shit what he thinks.

A Brexit-supporting billionaire who fled abroad so he didn’t have to pay any tax to help the people of his country says he’s lost confidence in the UK.

American singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie, who wrote “This Land is Your Land.” The words on his guitar are testament to why the Nazis stifled art—and why Donald Trump tries to silence comics. The arts are not just entertainment when they challenge those in power.

It would be a shame if people were to buy RNLI Christmas cards then post them without a stamp to Reform's freepost address: Reform UK Freepost RTLT-ZXHY-KSDC 83 Victoria Street London SW1H OHW So that Reform pays the postage to get the RNLI card that helps the charity. Don't do that, will you?

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Dublin protesters greeted Trump’s visit with an inflatable Netanyahu appearing to have his way with him.

The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘white, angry old man’s’ advice to go back where they came from.

Crowds took to the streets of Dublin to protest Trump’s visit to Ireland, with demonstrators invoking Trump’s ties to Epstein and his alliance with Netanyahu.

Another £36m for Farage from another crypto billionaire (the one who previously gave him £5m). UK politics - and the UK itself - is being bought.

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!

Disgraceful that the RNLI have to say this today, but here we are 😞. If you would like to donate👇🏻. rnli.org/support-us/g... #RNLI #RNLISavesLives

Interesting paper just dropped in the great data center debate and it's not great news. Data centers seem to raise the yields on local govt debt since they have a very low long term multiplier and large perceived externalities on public infrastructure. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'

they all laughed even the women in the background
