Farage: epic grifter

The Albanian prime minister absolutely bodies UK politics here. Incredible

Naomi Smith, "For the last ten years we've had successive governments tell us what a great thing Brexit is"

"Well our polling shows that nearly 2/3 of people think Brexit has been more of a failure than a success"

FT graph showing massive UK public support for the opinion that it was wrong to vote to leave the EU.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

‘We don’t want to be a toy town’: has Brexit sunk this historic UK fishing fleet? Struggling fishers in Hastings say the industry is dying after a deal giving away access to its waters made a tough job impossible

Yes. The answer is yes, Brexit did sink the historic fishing fleet in Hastings. And as a thank you, the Brexiest Brexshitter of them all, Nigel Farage, is now leading the polls in both Hastings and the UK overall.

But remember, just as they aren't racist, Reform voters aren't stupid cunts either.

Top US researchers rush to relocate to Europe US-based applicants to a prestigious EU research scheme have increased five-fold.

A recent call for a multimillion-euro program run by the EU’s top research council saw a fivefold increase in US-based applicants seeking to relocate to European institutions to pursue their research ambitions.

For the first time since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in 2021 and imposed their strict interpretation of Islamic law, communications across the country have been shut down.

The ECHR is essential to safeguarding the Good Friday Agreement but Nigel Farage wants to walk away from it. 🚨

Hilary Benn MP: "I cannot think of anything more irresponsible. It's wrong, it's reckless, and we've got to make sure it never happens."

An extraordinary Telegraph article from 2014 that reminds us where Nigel Farage stood on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Mr Putin 16 years ago.

79. American citizen.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

And to think #DeformUK wants to pull UK out of #ECHR, too!

Slippery slope!

Ed Davey, "What people are looking for is change, and how can we improve the standard of living, how can we make things better again?"

"Reform UK is offering change but it's not true to British values, it's a bit like Trump's America"

I hate that Brigitte Macron feels compelled to prove she’s a woman, but I get it: shut that lie down. The right thrives on ruining lives with made-up trash.

Maybe Candace Owens should have to prove she’s human.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’ Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements

Trump will arrive in the UK on Tuesday night. During his stay he will enjoy a huge amount of special treatment. This also includes a broadcast on Channel 4: they dedicate their Wednesday night schedule to unpicking all the falsehoods expressed by Trump since taking office. This takes several hours.

Trump’s alleged ‘bawdy’ birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein is now public The estate of Jeffrey Epstein provided a copy of the alleged 50th birthday book and Trump’s letter to Congress this week

Trump’s alleged ‘bawdy’ birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein is now public

Quite apart from Tice going out to defend Farage's shady house purhcase and making things ten times worse, for the guy who says he will be the next UK Chancellor of the Exchequer to end on: "I'm not a tax expert - you're asking the wrong guy," is objectively hilarious. ~AA

Oh.

OMG I love this!

I used to do the Brexitometers in Kingston.

Keep it up #Leeds ✊

The Reform UK conference gives a standing ovation to "special guest" Lucy Connolly, who pled guilty to stirring up racial hatred after she called for asylum hotels to be set on fire with people inside them.

My god.

What utter dickheads we are…

Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal

Farage and his MPs voted it down

Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty

Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on

The mega wealthy win again.

I am looking forward to the ethics committee investigating this!
Farage the hypocrite seem to have avoided some tax. 😉
