Day17

Never thought I'd ever enjoy a video of #BandwagonBob - Hilarious!
How did the presenters keep straight faces. 😂

Absolutely agree @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk that I wouldn't be surprised if a new position at the #BBC goes to someone from GBeebies. It's a thought I had earlier too.

. @mrjamesob.bsky.social
Some were suspecting at the time, that Farage was in the US (in parliamentary time, I believe) to promote GB News. 👇

So Trump is now urging us to ditch the #BBC for GB News
NOTE:
GB News, US launch, was Aug '25 via Trump's Truth+ platform & then on air there in Sept.
Farage was in Congress trashing the UK in Sept 👇 - wearing GB News lapel pin
Clearly there to promote GB News as we suspected.

Reform UK suspends another Kent councillor after video leak Isabella Kemp is the latest Kent member to be suspended after the leak of a heated virtual meeting.

"We are the flagship council” and “super aware” that every move is watched as the template for national power". Latest 👇

(Found this article quite amusing #ratsinasack 😂)

LOL. 🙄

Excellent second reading of the 'Hillsborough' Bill by the Prime Minister today in the HoC. Powerful, heartfelt, emotional, compassionate, and empathetic—often looking up and speaking directly to the Hillsborough campaigners in the gallery.

Tory patience wears thin as Badenoch’s critics count down to May elections With the party adrift and Reform surging, Jenrick’s allies are sharpening their pitch for a post-election reset

Ah! I didn't know the Conservative rules were that they had to allow a year before mounting a leadership challenge.

That explains why Badenoch has lasted so long. 😂

And as I posted earlier..

Remember Jenrick didn't report a man carrying a knife onto the tube, saying, he didn't call it in because he was focused on exposing fare evasion.

Well there was me thinking that #BBCPolitics
hadn't posted who they were having on #bbclaurak
today because there'll probably be someone from Reform on and the #bbc are avoiding the online backlash. 🙄

Sophy Ridge: Why politicians like Nigel Farage shouldn't be TV presenters Sky News's morning host says politicians should get off GB News and face proper grilling

About time someone talked about properly scrutinising this grifter, Farage. 👏👏
Of course, it means he will probably not appear, however if he refuses to do so, then I hope Sophie & Wilf will be flagging up his shirking too.

Another Reform councillor ditches the party in Cornwall After another quitter, Reform UK is no longer the largest political group on Cornwall Council, less than six months after the election

🎵And another one bites the dust🎵

Also in this article:
"we have been told that as many as four more councillors could resign from the party over the next week".

AND:

"..a very public row among Reform members in a Cornish pub last week". 😂🤣😂

David Bull on #Skyews "You can't take politics personally" yet his leader sulks in the gallery at #PMQs over hurty words in the chamber.
Also, David attributes a recent MRP poll showing Reform AHEAD, to their loss in #Caerphilly. 🙄
You know those polls Reform are always bragging about. 😂

Plaid Cymru's, Delyth Jewell's facial expressions whilst Yusuf speaks. 🤣😂 (how we all feel when Deform speak) #Newsnight

Welcome news this morning, all those rubles spaffed up the wall by Deform.

Oh well, never mind, what's for breakfast.

“We had almost no engagement about any of it…”

Alexis Jay, the former chair of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse, tells #Newsnight that the previous Conservative government lacked engagement over the implementations of her 20 recommendations.

Quelle Surprise!
#CovidCorruption

Tories still a joke.

Neil O'Brien, on #SkyNews, to Matt Barbet, "Reeves's going around blaming everything that happened in the past for the economy."

M.B. "I'm sure you're not denying, you left things in a worse state than you'd've liked."

N.O. "Well, in 2010, we inherited the worst...." 😂

Tories rushing to get their letters into the 1922 committee after Kemi's woeful response to the #MiddleEastStatement

At the #CovidInquiry today.

Bully Boy Williamson who faced repeated allegations of misconduct, leaks, and policy errors—was sacked twice and resigned once.

Another one rewarded for failure with a knighthood from the greased piglet himself, #LiarJohnson.

Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says

Nothing says more about being a advocate for peace than declaring another country an enemy if you don't get the Nobel Peace Prize. 🙄

Well I'm sure Badenoch's #BBCLauraK interview must have knocked a couple of points off their polling.
By the end of their conference (she's doing 2 speeches) they could be in negative equity. 😂

DEEP DIVE: How Does Reform Show Its Racism? Let Me Count the Ways From “target practice” on refugees to burqa bans in Parliament, the tally tells the story better than Farage ever could.

Farage insists Reform isn’t racist.

I’ve got 20 documented cases that say otherwise.

When the fringe and the manifesto sing the same tune, you don’t have a crank problem - you have a culture problem.
