Jim Ratcliffe has issued a statement saying he's very sorry if people don’t like the fact that he’s a racist twat.

Just going to leave this here

Johnson partied as pensioners died alone. Why didn't Johnson get this pressure to resign. Farage appointed a Russian Agent as the leader of Reform UK in Wales. Why doesn't Farage get this pressure to resign The answer is the Tory Press.

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social

Rainbow Devils is saddened and concerned by the comments made by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Manchester United is a football club fortunate enough to have a huge, diverse, global fan base. It doesn’t (and shouldn’t) matter what your nationality, ethnicity, faith, heritage, sexuality, sex or gender identity is - our fans come together as one to support the club we love and which has shaped our lives. For many of us, football offers a place where we can set aside our differences, feel safe, and find common ground. In recent years, the UK has seen a huge rise in racist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, homophobic, and transphobic discourse and violence, partially fuelled by divisive messages in the media and by people in power. These messages are not just words - they shape and influence actions, and cause real damage to people, families and communities. We respect Sir Jim's Ratcliffe's freedom of speech, and agree that debate on issues such as immigration policy is legitimate in a democratic society. However, we are concerned by the language used in his recent comments on this topic, where he refers to the UK as having been ‘colonised’ by immigrants and quotes statistics that are incorrect. Our concern is that these comments could have the effect of increasing divisions, polarising debate further, and leading to real harm to minority communities in general, including many loyal Manchester United fans who are immigrants - or the descendants of immigrants - themselves. The Rainbow Devils community stands with all other communities that reject intolerance and polarisation, and who seek to build bridges, treat each other with respect - even when we disagree - and bring society together.

A statement from Rainbow Devils concerning Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments today.

Did you see all the “Countryside is too white”, “countryside is racist” hoo ha last week?

If you were anywhere near RW media or the hell site, you can’t have missed it!

Want to know where it all came from? Why there were over 30 “news” pieces about it in just 4 days?

Let’s take a look!👀

🧵1/29

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.

But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.

He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

Wow - @manchestermill.bsky.social catches Reform UK sending fake letters to residents without saying they’re from Matt Goodwin’s campaign, a glaring breach of electoral law.

Just a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.
Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?

Sad news from Wikipedia. Following lengthy discussion on the talk page, they've removed Matt Goodwin's claim to be the first in his family to go to university on the grounds that it [checks notes] isn't true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ma...

More "8th in line to the throne" news.

There’s plenty more exchanges between Bannon and Epstein on their European plotting - as Epstein says to Bannon in 2019

“Macron down. Boris up. Merkel down. You up GREAT”

Hi Gorton & Denton, if you have anxiety, know that the Reform UK candidate, Matt Goodwin, thinks you have a mild mental health issue.

He doesn’t think you should be supported.

Very much enjoyed meeting Matt Goodwin and his surprisingly honest supporters.

It’s staggering (but, in no small part, down to a venally biased media and über-wealthy right wing and foreign backers) that he’s been elevated to some kind of populist pied piper, instead of being roundly rejected for the snivelling traitorous racist coward saddo he really is.

Friday's DAILY MIRROR: Farage's party of Tory failures
#TomorrowsPapersToday

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Posted by @liminalwarmth.bsky.social:

“Someone I personally know in Minneapolis posted this to Facebook a few hours ago. This isn’t what orderly law enforcement looks like. No charge, no location info? How do you even know citizens are getting due process here?”

They Say They "Protect Women and Children". X Paid Them Nearly £68,000 Four MPs. 691 hours. A platform facilitating abuse. And a silence that tells you everything.

I was tempted to go full clickbaity on this one and title it:

“You won’t BELIEVE which MPs made nearly £70k from X”

But honestly?

You already know.

It’s Farage and the lads who shout most loudly about "protecting women and children" all while taking money from X.

Because of course it is.

The Bear (@bearlypolitics) The instinct to call Trump and his administration Fascist is sometimes overwhelming - but are we being counterproductive when doing so? My growing concern is this: If we keep relying on 20th century...

Very well put - and now I know I don’t have the right words I fear more

Headline: Reform to spend £5m on May elections Key paragraph (circled by me in red) The Reform leader said claims - including that he told a Jewish classmate that "Hitler was right" and said "gas them" - will not have an electoral impact because they were seen as an attack on him from the "mainstream media". "It's having zero effect," he said. "It's solidifying our core support.”

Farage confirms he’s glad his (schoolboy) racism has been exposed, that he’s enjoying the electoral kickback it’s given him amongst his racist supporters and expresses absolutely no shame or guilt about it at all.

Racist man. Racist party. Racist voters.

Why was this political activist allowed to take over at Glastonbury?

Questions of political bias clouded everything in 2025, and pop music was no exception. Glastonbury was rocked by an enormous controversy, reported in full by the Eye.

Not having these howling failure monkeys leading in the polls.

Pressure on Farage to sack 'racist Reform candidate as he doubles down on claim Lammy should 'go home' to Caribbean 'Farage's refusal to take action against racism in his party shows what a dark place he's dragging politics to, says Labour Party chair as Reform's Hampshire mayor candidate praises Enoch Powell

He’s not sacking the candidate because, say it with me, Farage and Reform UK are foundationally racist. Removing that scaffolding of bigotry would cause the party to collapse into incoherent press conferences and fantasy economics.

This image did not appear in the Epstein files, and nobody should share misinformation

The Farage Apologists The same commentators that spent years condemning anti-semitism in UK politics as a major national scandal, have suddenly lost interest now that it implicates one of their own

“If this is the level of shamelessness [Farage’s] media supporters are willing to stoop to when he is a mere fourth party opposition politician, just imagine the levels they will descend to should he ever get a real whiff of power”

It just *must* not happen.

www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-farage...

Just an observation… but if Farage *was not* now a racist - genuinely… then he would really want to make up for the hurt he caused as a schoolboy bully. Definitely not make it worse.
Instead, he’s angry and accusing. So, he is racist. And raging with anyone who says so. Or thinks that’s a problem.
