‘I think we were so desperate to get out of the EU that at the time we basically came up with a very bad deal.’

Faiza Shaheen, "I'm so proud to be in this room at to hear so many people fight back against this hateful energy from Reform UK's Matt Goodwin - what's wrong with you"

Matt Goodwin, "Do you think this audience reflects Britain?"

The president is posting a dozen photos of his fancy remodeled bathroom while millions are on the brink of losing access to food.

I didn't see this until this morning 😂🔥🫳

Is this not Farage in a nutshell…

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Trump wants Venezuelan oil & minerals.
He & his Dept of War will be acting illegally in our name.

Nobody asked you to renovate a bathroom you dumb bitch. P.S, Trump likes marble because it’s easy to snort Adderall & coke off of especially in humid climates like DC & Palm Beach. Can cut a line right on it.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.

Post is by James Buchan who defected from Reform to the Tories in Dartford Council. Pretty damning stuff...

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

Jaywick named most deprived area - again A seaside neighbourhood in Essex, part of the parliamentary constituency represented by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, has once again been named the most deprived in England. The latest official data showed that an area of the coastal village of Jaywick, close to the town of Clac-ton-on-Sea in the local authority of Tendring, has been classed the most deprived neighbourhood for the fourth time. Areas of Blackpool again make up most of the rest of the top 10, along with new appearances for neighbour-hoods in Hastings and Rotherham. Yesterday's data, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), presented relative levels of deprivation in areas or neighbourhoods of England in 2025. The data highlighted "the scale of the challenge" but does not "reflect the progress made since 2019 or the strength of the people who call Jay-wick Sands home" , the Tendring District Council website said. MHCLG said Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull and Manchester had the highest proportions of neighbour-hoods among the most deprived in England.

Farage earns more than £1m a year for non-MP work GETTY IMAGES - photo of the grifter Damian Grammaticas > Political correspondent 17 August 2024 Nigel Farage has revealed he is earning well over a £1m a year from work he does outside parliament, in addition to his job as an MP. It is thought his outside income is significantly higher than that of any other member of parliament.

Compare and contrast.
Absentee MP -v- his constituency.
Greedy grifting spiv -v- most deprived English neighbourhood.
He really couldn’t give a shit.
He feeds off the inequality and anger to line his own pockets. He doesn’t want solutions because the problems are his income stream.

‘The money machine is misfiring’: City blames Brexit for UK’s £20bn productivity headache

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

King Charles strips Andrew of prince title and ejects him from mansion Royal subject to ‘censures deemed necessary’ in sharp change of tone by Buckingham Palace

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

here is the bathroom of the italian mafia Casamonica clan bunker, he might pick some idea up.

Block Twitter in the UK, as Brazil did

Which begs the question, if it takes less than 38 months to reduce a Royal to a commoner, and it can be done at will - without Parliamentary intervention - why do we have a Monarchy? Clearly, reduction to commoner signals that there is nothing intrinsically different about the Royals

Morning Kate and everyone, congrats on the book sale Kate. Had to scrape my car this morning, -2 here brrrr! Need to dig out my gloves. Hope you have a great day

Morning everyone. Happy tuesday. It's pouring and chilly here in Glasgow. Busy work day ahead. Got my hair cut at the weekend and got my car back last night (was in garage for a week!) so happy days. Hope you have a good day.
