Farage is absolutely fucking shit at this btw. He's thin-skinned and rambling and he's absolutely bombing. Shame on our media for making this Thatcherite blowhard a superstar.

YouTube video by PoliticsJOE MPs openly mock and laugh in Nigel Farage's face during Commons speech

When I was 17 my first boyfriend had us all round his dad's house when his dad went away and he stormed out of his own living room coz I beat him at Tekken 3 with a perfect and everyone laughed at him.

That's what I thought of watching this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h8K...

Matt Goodwin has more chips on his shoulder than a carpenter caught in a frites spillage. The very essence of dull, unoriginal, utterly inconsequential little man. You can only pity the boneheads who hero worship such an absolute nonentity. #bbcqt

"This is the perfect place for me to post my five-post rant about how it's ridiculous we even HAVE a royal family and as much I respect the late her majesty the late queen she would be ashamed to see the state of things now" - people in the replies to my shitpost about Andrew living in his car

“These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him....Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

'Moving Andrew well away from Windsor was clearly felt the better option. More live, infantilising graphics as we have them.'

But Gove said all contracts were handled by civil servants. Surely you're not telling us he lied?

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Reform UK Treasurer Profited From Financial Ties to Elon Musk and Trump's Silicon Valley Billionaires Reform's biggest donor and Treasurer Nick Candy held investments in a US venture fund tied to Trump-supporting tech billionaires, including Elon Musk

"Candy’s use of a Guernsey entity...highlights how the property billionaire – now Reform UK treasurer – benefits from the offshore financial system."

"Guernsey’s offshore status allows [him] to route funds through so-called tax-neutral jurisdictions offering corporate secrecy & limited disclosure."

Factionalism, farce and chaos dog Reform UK in the garden of England All is not well in Kent for Nigel Farage’s party as the recent video of an incendiary meeting suggests

Not sure why this was kind of buried in the Guardian story

Kent leader Kemkaran "failed to ensure that her register of interests listed the fact that her husband is the director of digital transformation at East Kent’s health authority"

It's a criminal offence to knowingly omit relevant interests.

Geert Wilders lost nearly a third of his seats in the Netherlands.

The Far Right can be beaten, they offer nothing.

Meet the anti-vaccine activist who could lead the response to the next pandemic Former firefighter John Knox's ties to RFK Jr. have landed him atop the agency that helped bring Covid-19 under control. People in the know are worried.

1/3 John Knox, anti-vaccine activist, is now acting head of ASPR -- the agency that handles pandemic response.

He’s called COVID vaccine campaigns “nothing other than genocide.” 😶

Not exactly reassuring...

I rarely travel these days due to illness, but I'm in London right now. Haven't been stabbed yet. Haven't spontaneously turned Muslim. Some women I've seen are VERY much not covered up and seem fine about it. Food is amazing. Would recommend to anybody who isn't a bellend. 👍

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

🫠"Because of differing rules between the GB, EU and NI markets, the business is now spending more than £100,000/year completing paperwork."

📈 Regulatory alignment with the EU is the fastest way to boost growth, reduce trade barriers and put money back into our pockets.

Letter from Professor Dame Carol Propper to Seamus Logan MP – statements on water quality Dear Mr Logan, Thank you for your email of 5 September to the Acting National Statistician regarding comments by the former Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, that drew comparisons between England and Scotland’s water industry regulation. I respond on behalf of the UK

UK environment minister Steve Reed claimed water pollution in Scotland was worse than in England. We fact checked this as Mostly False.

Now the UK Statistics Authority has stepped in. It said there was "the potential for people to be misled" by the minister's comments.

Report by Nick Timothy MP on the Home Office exposes a culture of defeatism and poor management - Nick Timothy A message from Nick Timothy MP: “Following media reports about my review of the operational effectiveness of the Home Office, completed in March 2023, many people have asked me for a copy. Given it is...

Which is fine, but the report arguably defies its stated aims and dresses up political views as reasoned solutions. full report is here: nicktimothy.com/report-by-ni... /8

Who is Rob Schneider again?

Trump’s orders unnerved many in the industry and appear to have discouraged some large firms from taking on cases they would otherwise have backed, lawyers say. That has dried up a formerly reliable supply of help from large law offices for people and institutions challenging government policies. The American Bar Association, which joined or filed four lawsuits against the Trump administration, “has experienced difficulty finding previously willing law firms to represent it,” its attorneys wrote in court papers. In one case, the organization said, it was unable to join a lawsuit challenging the administration because it could not get attorneys in time.

We have reached the point where the *American Bar Association* cannot find attorneys willing to represent them in litigation against the Trump administration.

VALLEY! HIGHLAND!

It doesn’t exactly surprise me but the Islamophobia directed at Mamdani is off the charts. Shameless gutter racism. His victory will be a defeat for the very worst people

Not just Streeting today, Labour issued this from Anna Turley on Saturday afternoon.

If you're watching advertisements on tv and counting the races of the people in them you're not only a massive racist - but you're sad as fuck.

you guys want crime, we’re about to see some crime
