Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

Asked back in 2019 about reports of his work with Steve Bannon, Boris Johnson described them as “the biggest load of codswallop I have ever heard.”

His spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment following the publication of Bannon's messages to Epstein confirming the relationship

I spent my teens in poverty

I have spent a large amount of my adult life in poverty

I have had to beg online in order to buy groceries or get to important appointments

We have people who are homeless, food banks exist, we have children going hungry

To say poverty doesnt exist is ignoring reality

Exclusive: Greens Hit Out At Reform 'Frauds' After Zia Yusuf Suggests Poverty Rates Are Exaggerated "Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag this morning about what they really stand for."

Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience.

Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off.

Unbelievably this wasn’t even raised on SkyNews just now during the interview with Reform's head of policy Zia Yusuf.

If UK news shows won’t call this boll**** out let’s do it ourselves

Kieran Trippier has just called out the social media comments asking for 'Howe out' after Brentford. "You see all the stuff on social media, which he really does not deserve. "We are fully behind him. We are fully playing for him. So this one is for him as well."

Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Children have INSET day, so half-term has started early for them. For any parents and carers in the same boat, here’s my regular reminder of this thread videos of easy-to-make TOYS which all work on some sort of science / engineering principle

There were 36 votes between the Green Party and Reform.

36 votes.

Reform are absolutely stoppable - and the Green Party can win with our message to lower bills, protect the NHS and rebuild public services.

At the next Michael Carrick press conference - Holt, Delaney, Auclair, Glendinning et al need to be there to aggressively question him about Ratcliffe’s latest racist outburst.

Unless upsetting Man U is too commercially risky for them of course.

Reform candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check Exclusive: Matt Goodwin argued ‘young girls’ should be explained ‘the biological reality’ that ‘many women in Britain are having children much too late in life’

As an Arsenal fan, I have always enjoyed our historic rivalry with Manchester Utd.

Above all, I admire its identity as a diverse club with players & fans from all over the world.

Jim Ratcliffe’s comments are a disgrace. Migrants aren’t the problem. Tax-dodging billionaires are.

So it’s Greens versus Reform
Hope versus Hate
A brilliant local candidate who loves her community
Versus a full time grifter bussed in from London
It’s not hard

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home Nigel Farage has reignited the culture-war debate over remote working, calling for an end to working from home.

Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home as the Reform leader kisses goodbye to a generation of voters.

Just don’t vote Reform

… crucial question for me is whether you go to the match to support your team or be entertained? I go to support my team which means I don’t ever boo! Over the past few years I’ve had a bonus and been royally entertained. As I said before my support is not and never will be financially conditional!

Sorry mate but I can’t do it. Supporting my team means just that. I think they are knackered, lacking confidence but still playing for the badge. IMO booing doesn’t help, it’s another kick in the teeth. Money argument doesn’t wash - my support isn’t financially conditional.

Disagree- I was embarrassed at matches when’s booed and got on his back! They were part of the problem!
