Septic twat Farage hates foreign-born voters - but is delighted to accept millions in foreign money...

This is really interesting.

These word clouds from a recent @moreincommonuk.bsky.social looking at Wales.

It lists the 16 words most associated with Labour, Plaid, the Tories and Reform.

There is a lot to say on this.

For the full analysis see the link in comments.

Replace MAGA with Reform and their ilk! Same Kremlin playbook www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

Read and share all over..he nails it

Powerful stuff.

Here is former Tory James Evans (who has just joined Reform) saying he would never join Reform...

We are now 366 days into Trump "ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours".

We are also 1,427 days into Putin's "3-day special operation".

Turns out tyrannical narcissists are full of shit.

The Ex-Tory MPs joining Reform U.K. has stopped being a trickle and it’s now a flood.

Reform UK: the only political party where the fastest way to become "anti-establishment”
is to spend a decade running the actual establishment first, then have a dramatic mid-life crisis.

🚨Just look at this poll. No party has over 25%.

It's never been more clear that the two-party system is dead and buried.

Under First Past the Post, this means complete chaos.

It's time to move on from our winner-takes-all politics. We need Proportional Representation - now.

Is Reform now sponsored by Vinted? It's a hard sell to market these ex Tories as preloved though....

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Holy crap there's a new poll for Wales and it is crazy.

It puts Plaid well ahead of Reform with the Greens beating Labour.

The results of this YouGov/ITV Cymru Wales/Cardiff Uni were:

Plaid 37% (+7)
Reform 23 (-6)
Green 13 (+7)
Labour 10 (-4)
Conservatives 10 (-1)
Lib Dem 5 (-1)
Other 2 (-2)

1/3

Here's Palantir's co-founder (JTLonsdale) advocating for a return to white supremacy:

So when I post, dismayed, about a senior leader of Palantir UK (the grandson of Britain's most notable white supremacist/fascist) appearing on the BBC's flagship show, you can kinda see why.

#BBCLauraK

Straight out of the Trump playbook. Flood the zone with political hack's catnip, in order to avoid difficult questions about his alleged problematic past and finances answered by their dear leader. They're like cats reacting to Reform's laser pointer!

New Conservatives, Same Failures

Ofcom may take decisive action against X, like requiring it to apologise in eight months on a webpage so buried that nobody will read it.

Please don't name it after him. He'll weaponise it to paint himself as a victim or more important than he actually is.

There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Reform looks like a rebrand of Tory European Research Group faction. Vote Reform, get failed Tories!

This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from.

Cryptocurrency is *designed* to make that impossible.

The whole point is to lift payments outside the scrutiny of the state.

"That's a very woke way of saying they haven't got a clue what they're doing", to adopt the language they like to use on others.

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

Horrifying to see an American woman shot dead by an ICE agent on a Minneapolis street, and Donald Trump’s ghoulish response is truly chilling.

Britain mustn’t follow America down this dark path.

But its formula favours large, established parties. No thanks.

Just not the stupid D'Hondt method please

Saw this on X.

Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

"...appears to portray authenticity". He is the furthest thing from authentic, but his rhetorical style is not usually classed as mealy mouthed unless he is on the defensive.

I made this point yesterday.
