Frightening pets and wildlife so people can hear big bang noises.

Fuck off

Fireworks need to be banned.

Registered displays only.

Chris Mason reporting on Reform like a six-year-old seeing a tractor is not good when you've got a sizable proportion of the press nakedly cheerleading.

Lucy Connolly, jailed for urging people to set fire to hotels housing refugees, is speaking at the Reform party conference today.

All the worst people.

Sorrywhatpardon?

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.

Carswell is in the same camp as Farage and Jenrick and all the other dismal, dull-arsed Reform/Tory hatemongers trying to create social division and civil unrest for their own power. No more hanging back. Anyone who genuinely cares about society and decency must stand up to this.

Same.

Labour should relish the chance to fight the next GE on Brexit.

They can't win if immigration concerns are top. Impossible. Reform will always walk away victors from that encounter.

Force Reform to fight somewhere they're less comfortable instead.

The disaster of Brexit is a perfect battleground.

spot on!

Screen shot of GBNews tweet with Farage announcing UK DOGE measures on Reform councils

Everyone in this whole country fucking hates Elon Musk & yet our most popular party is the one that wants to emulate his every move

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Christ Britain, come on. Make it make sense.

Your enemy isn't traveling by small boat.

They're traveling by private jet.

Farage policy plan 'risks Truss-style market chaos' (Extract of article) Nigel Farage’s plan to slash tax and increase benefits would cause a market shock up to twice the size of Liz Truss's mini-budget, independent economists have told The i Paper. The Reform UK leader pledged yesterday to scrap the two-child benefit cap and fully reinstate winter fuel payments for pensioners, He restated commitments to raise the personal tax threshold to £20,000 and introduce a more generous marriage allowance so one spouse would be exempt from paying tax on the first $25,000 of their income. Challenged on how he would pay for his pledges, Farage said he could save "about £70bn a year" by scrapping net zero, ending the cost of housing asylum seekers, abolishing diversity schemes and cutting 5 per cent off the money spent on quangos. "If you add all of that up, you've got a pretty eyewatering number of £350bn [over five years]," he said. "That may be, I accept, slightly op-timistic, but I think you can see very clearly the direction we're going in." Independent economists questioned the credibility of the figures. Simon French, chief economist at investment bankers Panmure Liberum, said many of the cuts had already been outlined in Reform's general election manifesto, which promised to slash spending by £150bn to fund £141bn of spending and tax cuts commitments

A manifesto for ‘adults’ who believe in the tooth fairy. And hate what they don’t understand -which is a lot.
Tax cuts paid for by scrapping Net Zero, the EU deal and DEI and deporting asylum seekers to god knows where at no apparent cost.
This is ‘tip your country into the bin’ stuff.

Kemi Badenoch post on Twitter I ran for the leadership with a simple promise: to tell the truth. To call out the lies & delusions that dominate Westminster. @afneil is right — even I'm shocked by just how far Starmer will go to try to fool the public. Screenshot of Andrew Neil’s article “In 55 years of covering politics, I've never accused any UK Government of routinely telling untruths. But Starmer & Co have taken lying and gaslighting to a deplorable level”

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, ‘levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power?
No.
You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out “the lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us…
And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him.
What a monumental piece of shit.

1. Brexit does not stand up to scrutiny

2. The more scrutiny is placed on Brexit, the worse it looks

3. Strong majority already think Brexit is going badly

4. Immigration skyrocketed since Brexit

5. Labour can't fight Reform on immigration

6. So why not force Reform to defend Brexit?

Winnable!

Starmer needs to unequivocally tell the British people that Brexit has made them immeasurably poorer and that Farage has been the chief advocate of their losses .

Hahaha.. Just seen a clip of Farage pretending to be Trump and telling council staff if they work on climate change or DEI initiatives, then they need to look for new jobs.
What an utter tosser.
Tough, thankless administrative work awaits his motley crew of inexperienced halfwits.
It’ll be carnage.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

The nasty little knot of far right ugliness that is Andrea Jenkyns (now Mayor of Lincolnshire) says it’s ‘no more soft touch Britain’.
How lovely. Voters have basically handed her a loud dog whistle and told her to kick the people and policies they don’t like or understand.
Failure is inevitable.

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

Post-Brexit youth mobility scheme with EU on the table under a different name Exclusive: There is growing optimism that a fresh proposal for youth mobility across the UK and EU will be accepted by the government

So, if we call it “youth opportunity scheme” instead of “youth mobility scheme”, then Brexiters might not have a wettie about it and govt can relax.
Honest to god. When did we get so petty and pathetic?
Oh yes. 2016.

I lost my wife five months ago and can identify with so much in this article.
Being told that I was still young enough to meet somebody else in the future was probably the advice that I least appreciated. Especially coming just a few weeks after my wife died.

Grief II – the sequel – the awkward second album – also known as ‘Ah no, is she STILL talking about death?’ Grief doesn’t end neatly – it’s messy, lasting, and full of love – we need to talk about death the way we do life

Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot.
This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

It still shocks me to my core that we allowed this nasty shit to become the country’s *prime minister*

Yesterday they gave £3bn to Thames Water.
Today they have to take £5bn off Disabled people.

It should be the other way around.

An epically disgraceful press conference from Vance and Trump with a beleaguered and entirely dignified Zelensky. Vance and Trump shouting at him about gratitude and telling him he’s in a weak position.
Fuckawful entitled bullies making a holy show of themselves and their country on the world stage.

Telegraph headline with photo of Badenoch talking. Badenoch urges Britons to 'fight for' free speech. Tory leader says freedom of expression 'under threat' because state has 'over-reached' in its policing of people's opinions

What a pathetic, culture-war-bullshit response to Vance’s speech. So deeply unserious. Ignoring entirely the glaring threat we face from these strutting little American despots, treating us all like pawns in the power games they want to play with Putin and Netanyahu.

But she’s incapable of better.

What TF is the “right starting point”?

11% think Brexit is a success. Are you waiting until it’s nobody? Until our young people have even less than they have now?

FFS Labour. No one will thank you for pandering to the Daily Mail. And certainly not the Daily Mail.

Do right by the rest of us.
