They’ve overturned Roe.

They’ve criminalized pregnancy in some states.

Arrested women for miscarrying.

They’re making it harder for women to vote.

They shout “repeal the 19th!”

The punishment for abortion is greater than the punishment for rape.

It’s a war on women.

I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.

Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.

On a per capita basis, Denmark sent more troops than any other NATO nation when the US triggered article 5 in 2001. They fought in some of the hardest front line areas in Iraq and Afghanistan, with one of highest number of losses amongst the coalition. They may be small, but are fiercely committed.

At least 2kg heavier I’d say.

Merry Christmas fella! I still have a few drams of the Macallan 18 left. A glass will be raised.

This from a man that could hardly string a sentence together in Leave’s winning speech, as he was utterly shocked it had happened. If you need a pack of lies to distract from an issue then he’s your man, so if he tries to organise a base, good luck. He killed 25% of leave voters during the pandemic.

Either our media has amnesia or they’re just plain complicit in their elevation of Reform. Have they forgotten what happened with our last two populist right wing prime ministers? The chaos of Johnson. The disaster of Truss (praised by Farage). This lack of reporting is a menace

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Norman Rockwell's Freedom of Speech but it's Ellen Ripley

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Reeves aims a searing ‘Russian assets’ gibe at Farage Rachel Reeves used her Budget speech to jab at Nigel Farage, invoking Russia amid renewed security concerns

“We are ramping up sanctions on Russia…

We are freezing known Russian assets…

But let me be clear, I don’t actually mean the right honourable member for Clacton.”

It's almost like much of the mainstream media and right wing press has an agenda, isn't it.

Another contemporary yesterday accused the Reform leader of being a "complete liar". Andy Field, a GP who was two years below Farage at Dulwich, said he had directly witnessed racial abuse from the Reform UK leader. He told BBC Radio Four's World at One he had been contacted on social media by people "who were nine years old and Nigel Farage, when he was 18 years old, marched frequently into the playground where they were playing and they were told to 'go back to Africa'. Others were singled out for being Jewish." Field, who said he did not have political affiliations, added: "T'd see him goose-stepping through the playground and Nazi saluting on many occasions — that was quite a common occurrence. I'd also heard him saying things like Hitler was right and you escaped the gas chamber." In correspondence with The

new allegation concerning Farage’s behaviour when he was 18 years old

Three more ex-pupils at school with Nigel Farage reject ‘banter’ claims Exclusive: Dulwich college contemporaries ‘rubbish’ Reform UK leader’s suggestion alleged racist taunts not intended to hurt

Three more school contemporaries who claim to have witnessed Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage racism have rejected the Reform UK leader’s suggestion that it was “banter”, describing it as targeted, persistent and nasty.

If you've ever been bullied, you will know that you never forget the bully or what they did and said. These memories tend to be vivid.

Nigel Farage's racism denials are dishonest, says ex-classmate Peter Ettedgui tells the BBC Nigel Farage targeted antisemitic abuse at him when they were teenagers.

Former classmate insists Farage repeatedly told him "Hitler was right" and "gas them" when they were teenagers at Dulwich College - and that the Reform leader's denials are dishonest.

Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

RFK’s latest attempt to create the mythical herd immunity?

Stuff, from The Internet

🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY:
Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

I wondered how long it would be before they started borrowing from Reform’s, sorry, Trump’s handlers’ playbook.

On 15th Sept, billionaire & Royal Society fellow Elon Musk called for political & interethnic violence, to pre-empt (ie, begin) a civil war. ("Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die."). A fortnight later, the Society expresses its disapproval

You’re likely right on spousal visas; hope so. Brought my wife here when we moved from the US. As a white American I doubt she would be the target of Reform plans if they ever God forbid, got into power. But I look at the US today and think of folks that voted that idiot in and ICE still took them.

That’s going to cause some interesting waves. Laws like these typically need to be applied across the board, impacting all migrants. So, I can see a lot of disgruntled UK citizens whose spouses will be affected.
