Quite. Smith has turned into a real letdown 🤦‍♂️

Repeat after me, "their defence is weakened, their defence is weakened ..." 🤞🤞🤞

Nice. I love a science song.

Yes it is depressing. I thought we were so much better than this.

Lagging to UKIP/BrexitParty/ReformUK, particularly in the north of England ...

And yet the son of a Scottish immigrant, grandson of 2 German immigrants, married to a Czech immigrant and later a Slovenian immigrant; successfully ran for the presidency on a platform of virulent anti-immigration, sponsored by an Australian immigrant and a South African immigrant 🤷‍♂️

Given the number of "Red Wall" voters who supported Brexshit, that is practical politics, unfortunately.

Reform UK receives millions from crypto investors - then champions crypto – HOPE not hate Reform UK, which has received funding from crypto investors Christopher Harborne and Simon William Smith, has been singing crypto’s praises. Imitating Donald Trump’s MAGA playbook,...

Yes Nigel, what a coincidence

"On 12 Nov, #Farage wrote an article ... declaring 'Reform’s Britain will lead the digital money revolution'"

"Reform would 'slash capital gains tax on cryptoassets ... from 24% to 10%' and 'create a Bitcoin digital reserve'"

I totally agree. We should be building a #RejoinEU campaign as powerful as the leavers did. It took them time, and it will take us time.

Carping at Labour's practical approach helps no one. Labour needs all of us to help them change the narrative and the momentum of the country.

Oh really, 🤮

Tragically, if 5 Lib Dems, including Ed Davey, and the sole Green MP Caroline Lucas, had not voted "No" on (I kid you not) 1st April 2019, the UK could have been in "A Customs Union" with the EU right now 🤷‍♂️

#RejoinEU

Rejoining the Customs Union would make so much sense
... but I don't think explicitly reversing Brexit right now would weaken Farage, it would give him his dream platform.

☝️Notably rare return to reporting facts by the Faragraph

Almost 😜

I've never seen anything get down voted so much or so quickly on the BBC site , he's making great numbers as he'd like to say

What about alternative fact-checkers?

100%

"Yinka Bankole claims he had just started at the school when a 17-year-old #Farage singled him out for abuse."

"[Farage] would wait at the lower-school gate, where I was dropped off ... to repeat the vulgarity”.

"He would always remember what he described as a 'look of hatred he had for me'"

Former Dulwich pupil says Farage told him: ‘That’s the way back to Africa’ Exclusive: Yinka Bankole says he was compelled to speak out after Reform leader’s attempts to dismiss hurt of alleged targets

Sickening.

Don't fancy Scotland's chances of getting out of Group C unfortunately 😔

OTH, if Wales get through the playoffs, I could seem them getting out of Group B.

England's draw could have been worse, but no pushover.

Group I is pretty nasty.

Emery relaxed over Konsa's Villa contract: 2028? That's so long Ezri Konsa will soon be into the final two years of his Aston Villa contract but Unai Emery is unconcerned.

Yeah, I'm more worried about Konsa 😟

Farage says he shouldn’t be judged for antisemitic abuse at 13, @mrjamesob.bsky.social.

Fine. Let’s judge him for everything he’s said and done since. Here's a dozen examples of his antisemitism as an adult.

WTF is Nazi content like this even doing on Facebook? 🤷‍♂️

Handy for entrapment purposes in this case I guess.
