Has a fart been added to the soundtrack? 😂

The government had to do a deal with the fascist in chief. Not the president of their choice, but had to be done. Jobs, security, investment.

I know that but we’re in the unfortunate position of the government having to deal with the world as it is.

We all know that, including the government. I cannot think they haven’t considered it and it’d be really interesting to know their thinking on it, rather than the Westminster tittle tattle we get from the lobby. ATM, many Labour MPs have come out of hiding and are fighting back.

I’m not sure they can just vacate the space as easily as you think. One good outcome though would be that the far right would migrate across to here and the left could spend a bit more time hammering them rather than Labour.

It’s a dilemma for them. It’s the main political discussion platform for the UK. Governments of all stripes across the world post their announcements there. However, they should have a presence here.

Because it’s where a lot of people still go to for the news and as such I expect the democratically elected government of the UK believes they should have a presence there. But, they should definitely set up on here.

The moderate left needs to challenge this kind of nonsense. NATO is a diminished alliance that is finding its feet at a critical moment – pushing back against an actual imperialist power.

Twitter is a hateful place but it’s still the number 1 place to put out government information. But they should have a presence here.

They are making a lot of money from Reform troll subscribers.

In the last few days, the Times has had to delete two stories. One because someone pretended to be former Mayor Bill de Blasio to a reporter and one because they wrote up nonsense about Torsten Bell's expenses.

Needs a new editor badly.

A bit of discipline and stiff upper lip please. Crying out your latest lament is stupid

When mum wants a picture on a family holiday, but you hate each other.

‘Starmer dead-enders’. Lovely stuff. Screams ‘but look how smart I am’, in the face of the most powerful far right onslaught we’ve ever seen in the UK. Even the clever guys don’t realise how in thrall they are to the far right social media tsunami.

They’re influenced by it too. Similar attack points.

The far right has played a blinder on social media. They saturate it 24/7 with bile against Labour and Starmer in particular. Much of the media take their cues from it. If it didn’t work they wouldn’t do it. Most people don’t read your more nuanced newsletter or the FT.

On a mission to get the info out to the people who care. Labour are #FixingBritain

Let’s be honest - there’s no difference between those who say there are too many brown & black faces in the media and those who claim a ‘Jewish conspiracy’ that controls the media.

It’s all racism.

I see people I respect spending more time attacking Labour than Reform just to garner more love on social media

Because it takes guts to stand with what’s broadly good but sometimes not that great. It looks terrible on one’s social media output.

That was to combat antisemitism. What’s the point you’re making?

Grooming gang survivor Ellie Reynolds encouraged by Farage to answer general Reform press questions (this one about Pochin's comments).

It is profoundly irresponsible by Farage to expose her to this risk - and destroys his claim that "this is not a Reform or political proposal".

Also NB "Sarah".

I can’t decide who looks more ridiculous, Nigel FarRage, Zia Yusef, Beth Rigby, Sam Coates or Aaron Banks.

Talk about Pride comes before fall.

Bunch of fuckwits, all of them.

Reform are hated by the silent majority 💪💪

Mad moments in British politics - Farage believed the voting intention polls.

They’re very unhappy.

Classic by election over reading of the result.

Re-elect your local MP is mostly the answer in England seats that Reform/Cons can win (but not necessarily in Labour seats the right can't reach). Wales and Scotland much more in flux now

Broadcasters - especially the BBC - have been working hard to ensure they give a voice to the 25-35% of people willing to vote Reform (and harder groups within that, like anti-asylum protest and Tommy protest)

Need to pay as much attention to the unheard majority who fear that form of politics

They’ll be voting Reform because they like their racist policies.

If that’s all true, then Reform won’t win.
