Farage and Reform bought into the lie they had majority support in the country, they never did, they were the most vocal. Large turnout and tactical voting will defeat Reform just like it has in Caerphilly.

Petition: Allow people with Indefinite Leave to Remain to vote in parliamentary elections Extend voting in UK parliamentary elections to include those who have been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

I always keep an eye on new Parliamentary petitions, and think this one is worth supporting.

It makes sense to give more migrants a say in the democratic process when their continued existence in this country is under threat from politicians in Reform, the Conservatives and Labour.

Enoch Powell was sacked *in a heartbeat* by the Leader of the Conservative Party for being overtly racist. That was the right response. Today the Conservative party is embracing policies more extreme than Powell.

We do not have to understand this. We have to oppose it.

We sit at the end of a decades-long process, partly structural but also partly very deliberate, of the breaking-down of shared norms of informational awareness and trust that could maintain a patchy but workable distinction between news, propaganda, and advertising.

See, the thing is, I've met Kwasi Kwarteng. Had a conversation that went on a while. I know he's a prat.

But the rest of the country ought to have figured that out when he was the lead man on the most disastrous economic policy decision of the modern era.

The administration has ordered that "black" be stricken from all song titles. Hence:

"Paint It" - Stones
"Bird" - Beatles
"Back In" - AC/DC
"Hole Sun" - Soundgarden
"Or White - Michael Jackson

Edward Kelley, pardoned by Trump for Jan. 6 crimes, was sentenced to life for plotting to kill FBI agents in Tennessee, compiling a “kill list” and planning attacks with car bombs and drones; his co-conspirator testified against him.

Political discourse *should* be about how best to take care of one another. It *shouldn’t* be about defending your humanity against the assault of unrepentant bigots and misogynists like Charlie Kirk.

Those same unrepentant bigots and misogynists are now playing the victim.

@shoshanade.bsky.social Your Bylines article was along similar lines wasn't it?

"Leaving X isn’t about surrendering ground. It’s about refusing to lend legitimacy to a platform being weaponised against democracy"

Anyone know if this is doing the rounds on the shitpit?

Elon Musk calls for dissolution of parliament at far-right rally in London US-based tech boss was addressing the ‘unite the kingdom’ protest organised by Tommy Robinson via video link

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue.

You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people.

It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

a post from joyce carol oates, sep 14 2025

FBI is searching, searching, searching for some way to link the gun assassination of a rightwing podcaster/influencer by a gun enthusiast from a conservative Utah gun family with--"transgender!"--not with gun culture, or hate culture, or gaming culture or did I say gun culture?--guns, guns, guns have killed 'way more folks than anything remotely "trans-" or is that too obvious to point out?

jco's tweet cont'd 

theologically, you could blame "trans-" for EVERY EVIL IN HUMAN HISTORY: it wasn't Adam who disobeyed God & brought evil into the world, it was the creature made from Adam's rib, obviously the first trans-person, given the innocent-seeming name Eve; she, or they, succumbed to Satan, ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good or evil, thus "trans- Eve" is to blame for EVERY EVIL IN HUMAN HISTORY. (not Adam! never.)
informing FBI like a good citizen so that they can begin mass arrests.

14 years of austerity so bankers could keep their yachts while 20k police vanished, armed forces cut by 20%, childcare slashed, councils bled dry but given more to do, schools stripped, infrastructure left to rot, food banks normalized, and the economy reshaped to make reversing it near impossible.

Farage assured the media that Ms Ferrari purchased the property with her own money, saying: “I haven’t lent money to anybody. I didn’t give her money. She comes from a very successful French family”. Hilarious!

Another lie Farage as a BBC investigation found no evidence that Ms Ferrari & her family have the wealth to purchase the house mortgage-free.

Her parents live in a £300,000 flat in Strasbourg, France.

It’s not looking good for Farage.
