Good to see Farage robustly challenged. Telling to see the feebleness of his responses.

"Do you accept there is such a thing as international law? And if you were Prime Minister would you try to adhere to it?"

Farage: "And international law? Well it is whatever you want it to be isn't it really? You know what is international law?"

Reform UK would be dangerous for all of our rights.

Staggering that 24% of voters in this advanced country continue to believe in a bunch of entitled bigots with unworkable policies, whose very ideas put us in the abject chaos we are in. Truly God awful idiots, and I make no apology for saying that.

Again these people aren't patriots.

They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too.

Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

Absolutely appalling how rarely it happens.

We didn’t ever need to have this toxic gobshite bossing our politics and ruining everything. A political and media class with a greater sense of responsibility and integrity could have kicked him into touch years ago.

BBC News alert saying, “Does Robert F Kennedy Junior have a point on MRna vaccine, or is pulling funding a miscalculation?”

The story isn’t as bad as the notification but ffs this notification is bad. How can BBC justify such a thing?!? And what on earth does “miscalculation” mean in this context?

TRIUMPH FOR REFORM AS IT SWEEPS INTO THIRD PLACE

by Our Political Correspondent
Hugh Kip

In the most seismic upheaval in the history of politics, Nigel Farage's Reform party continued its inevitable
march to Number 10 by spectacularly coming third in the Hamilton by-election.
After a disastrous night for Labour which saw the party only come first and win the election, it was clear that Starmer's days are numbered. If this result were replicated in a General Election, Reform would win a massive no seats, while labour would be consigned to the dustbin of history with another massive majority.
The records will show that our prediction that it would be a two horse race between the SNP and Reform became a reality - as the Scots rejected the discredited SNP and consigning them to second place. This proved, as we said, that Reform is the only option north of the border, apart from Labour.
A bruised and battered Starmer was clearly on the ropes as he addressed cheering crowds, and he must now only be days away from resigning - thus paving the way for Nigel Farage and his four MPs to sweep to power.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics.
This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Exposed: Reform UK doesn’t know how government spending works Reform UK just confused a procurement framework with a spending scandal – and revealed they don’t understand government

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract.

Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal.
But apart from that, spot on! 😬

The Bear explains how Reform got it completely wrong ⤵️

I have to admit I calibrated my expectations on Badenoch wrong. I thought she'd struggle but I didn't think she'd be so staggeringly inept at the absolute basics of the job.

This is what I’ve been saying - the man that helps the rich dodge mad amounts of tax, berates ‘normal’ people for fare dodging on the Tube.  No self awareness or just thinks we forgot already.  Or maybe it’s no big deal to him, like fare dodging - this is how the rich do it.

The hallmarks of Twitter are now:

* replacement theory

* obsession with nationalism and ‘treachery’

* obsession with perceived ‘enemies’ and ‘invaders’

* blatant racism said out loud

* ‘two tier justice’ (definition varies)

All of it unchecked and unchallenged.
They’re grouping and gathering.

While Labour does the work, Farage holidays courtesy of the British taxpayer - he’s having a ball at our expense: “Nigel Farage missed the parliamentary debate on the biggest reset to Brexit since the referendum because he is overseas on holiday, the Reform UK leader has said.
