It was a staple I grew up with since I bought it in 1976. Ritchie Blackmore was one of my guitar heroes

Badenoch says it’s ridiculous to blame her Tory party for the mess the country is in, yet it was her party who delivered Austerity, Brexit, destruction , devastation & cuts after cuts!

14 YEARS OF TORIES ARE TO BLAME!

#Keunssberg #Bruce & #BBC "impartiality", as far as #Farage & #DeformUK goes, is a non-starter, a chimera! BBC is a national disgrace. If they hadn't given so much free airtime to #Brexit propaganda, it might not have happend

We were impressive apart from our finishing. 5-0 would have been a more realistic result.
Caicedo was an absolute monster today.

Which is the bigger story?
The trivial administrative cock up involving a blameless Rachel Reeves or the humiliation of an accused sex offender who is the King's brother?
Tough choice.

He encapsulates all that is wrong in decency and humanity

Post by @implausibleblog.bsky.social Screenshot of Farage being interviewed by Mishal Husain Nigel Farage, "I'm the only living human being in this country who has built political movements on a table like this with a telephone, a piece of paper and a pencil" "I can build things" "I can do things" "My track record says that"

This man is a deeply mediocre grifting spiv but sees himself as a mighty political figure. Only in a country where the media has given in to sensationalism rather than scrutiny and politicians have become shameful cowards could naff little Nigel’s ego be this absurdly, delusionally huge.

Goldman chief delivers warning to Reeves over bank tax hikes David Solomon urged the chancellor during a private meeting last week not to hit the industry with savage tax rises in her crucial budget statement next month, Sky News learns.

Holding govts to ransom.

Goldman Sachs warns Rachel Reeves against tax rises on banks.

Banks happy to be bailed out, take QE, mis-sell products, not to be prosecuted for frauds, hike charges, pay lousy rates on savings.

Need windfall taxes. Raise top rate of income tax.

Happy birthday Margaret Thatcher!

Tweet by Esheru (@EsheruKwaku) If you have always voted Tory, then flirted with UKIP, was taken in by the Brexit Party, voted Brexit, then listened to Boris Johnson and voted Conservatives (again) to Get Brexit Done and now you support/voted Reform, the state the country is in, is because of you. 1:58 PM • Oct 5, 2025

Nailed it!

BMW seeks meeting with Rachel Reeves over finance scandal bill The carmaker, which faces a potential hit of over £200m from the mis-selling controversy, wants to discuss the implications of an industrywide redress programme

Executives at BMW want to meet the chancellor about the car loans scandal.

Car companies resent paying compensation.

Auto companies lied about diesel emissions, resent paying victims.

Simple advice to capitalists - don't lie and cheat to boost profits, exec pay, dividends.

The thing with Farage and his supporters, they need to know where their knowledge ends, and their ignorance starts.

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.

Don't know where you got those figures from, but I can assure you the UK figures are nowhere near the numbers stated there.

It's what's known as Schrodingers Immigrant

And her Baroness title removed

Same here, we're going nowhere with this clueless idiot

The “left” ignored immigration fears? We’ve had right-wing governments for the last 15 years. If anyone ignored immigration fears it was the Tories. If you define “ignore” as “intentionally inflamed the situation, and massively increased spending on it”

Lecture careened from climate 'hoax' to sharia in London George Grylls Washington Extract: From Venezuelan drug cartels to the lack of air conditioning in Europe, President Trumps first speech to the UN in six years covered a wide array of topics. The US president repeatedly talked about immigration and climate change - and appeared unbothered about offending his audience to make his point. "I'm really good at this stuff," he said at one stage. -Your countries are going to hell." Here are some of the key moments from his address to the UN. NOBEL PEACE PRIZE Trump claimed he had resolved seven "unendable" wars as he stepped up his campaign for the Nobel peace prize. He listed the conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Thailand and Cambodia, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia It's sad I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them," he said, asking rhetorically: "What is the purpose of the United Nations?" He added that all the UN does is write "strongly worded letters" and speak in "empty words". He continued: "Now after ending all of these wars and also earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords very big thing for which our country received no credit everyone says should get the Nobel peace prize for each one of these achievements. SHARIA IN LONDON Having told Sir Keir Starmer that migration was destroying Britain during his state visit last week. Trump returned to familiar territory when he accused Sir Sadiq Khan, the mayor London, of attempting to impose sha-ria, Islamic law, in the capital. UN HEADQUARTERS RENOVATION Trump appeared needled by the UN's decision in the early 2000s not to award him the contract to refurbish its New York headquarters. "They decided to go in another direction . which actually produced a far inferior product," he said.

Farage hails Trump 'inspiration' at Reform UK rally Photo of Farage celebrating

Beyond batshit.
A speech fuelled by grotesque vanity, resentment and prejudice.
A foul mess of ignorance and self interest.
A menace to the world

But this is Farage’s role model.
His ‘inspiration’.

(Times and BBC)

Finding it increasingly difficult to put into words how fervently I wish Farage and the rest of his reform cronies would just fuck off out of UK politics. These terminally-aggrieved, xenophobic, racist cavemen are honestly exhausting. "Immigrant" is not a dirty word, stop treating it like one

Tesla boss Elon Musk wants to overthrow UK govt.

Big pharma wants the NHS to pay higher drugs prices or else.

Banks warn govt not to levy higher taxes on them, cut worker wages they say.

People bear cost of corporate pollution, abuses.

Choice - Curb corporate power and slavery or democracy.

I'm afraid you only have to look at the BBC with regard the Charlie Kirk coverage. It's obscene the amount of time they're giving to his killing. The murder of the Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband, killed by a deranged Trump supporter got nowhere near this coverage.

Hmmm…..shall we see what Farage had to say when Jo Cox was murdered by a right wing extremist, you know, just to get a flavour of whether he’s a raging hypocrite or not.
Any guesses?

This really is a terrible piece by Mason. So biased

To use the 'one per week' analogy when it's so early in the season is like saying Joe Roots after two consecutive failures at test level is a major issue. It's not

I'm no Starmer supporter, but this is egregious journalism - not balanced at all
