The truth behind Reform UK’s reckless budget £25bn of imagined savings, real-world cruelty and mathematics that should come with a trigger warning

If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥

I implore someone, anyone, in the media…

Do your job

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:

…what were the motivations behind this?

Though interesting to look at, NGC 1511 is one galaxy you might not want for a neighbour. Seen in this ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week, NGC 1511 is a peculiar spiral galaxy located roughly 50 million light-years away in the constellation Hydrus.

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

“Food solutions were on display everywhere around COP30 – from the 80 tonnes of local and agroecological meals served, to concrete proposals for tackling hunger – but none of this made it into the negotiating rooms or the final agreement. Despite all the talk, negotiators failed to act, and the lived realities of people most affected by hunger, poverty, and climate shocks went unheard.”

#COP30 ended with #FoodSystems missing from the deal—even as Brazil served delegates 80 tonnes of local, #agroecological food.🌱

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

It’s Russian.

The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement? Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

Xitter's hurriedly-aborted location feature - which showed the most vocal MAGA accounts were really posting from Nigeria, Serbia, Russia and other countries behind fake flags - proved what we’ve always known: the chaos is coordinated.

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

The Fraud by Paul Holden - page 89.
Rachel Riley met with Morgan McSweeney and Imran Ahmed at the @LabourTogether offices in February 2019. She agreed 'to front' their campaign to take on Jeremy Corbyn and lett-wing media outlets such as @TheCanaryUK.
Thereafter, @RachelRileyRR was one of Corbyn's fiercest critics. In November 2019, shortly before that year's election, she was famously photographed wearing a t-shirt with a doctored photograph of Corbyn that said
'Jeremy Corbyn Is A Racist Endeavour'.

The actual real explanation always turns out to be way more dumb and insulting than you imagined it was.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social on the importance of spending multipliers & borrowing to invest

Zack is, without doubt, a great communicator. And on him talking about democracy & the bond markets I'm reminded of Eddie Dempsey at the Durham Miners Gala when he asked "who elected the bond market?"

So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't?

How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

The most amazing thing about Danny Kruger isn't that he holds these views. It's that he voluntarily expressed them to a journalist.

Mr Dunning was not available for comment.

A scattering of the usual, tiresome journalistic tics aside - "Hard left", "eye-wateringly expensive", "Is Britain ready for a gay prime minister?" - a really good interview.

That he comes across so well in spite of the media's inability to get over themselves does him real credit.
