Robert Jenrick’s Defection Could Kill Nigel Farage’s Hopes of Becoming Prime Minister The Reform leader says the Tories broke Britain and now he wants their help to break it all over again

Why Farage's embrace of Jenrick could kill his hopes of becoming Prime Minister

Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick, who he previously said was a "fraud", and told his followers that "this man is not to be trusted", his Shadow Chancellor

I would ask myself of course, but we have been banned from ever attending them

The only question worth asking at these incredibly flash Reform press conferences that take place every week now, is who is paying for all of this and what do they want in return bsky.app/profile/pete...

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

Asked back in 2019 about reports of his work with Steve Bannon, Boris Johnson described them as “the biggest load of codswallop I have ever heard.”

His spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment following the publication of Bannon's messages to Epstein confirming the relationship

The messages between the far-right former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein reveal how Bannon worked with Boris Johnson and Farage to “overthrow” Theresa May at the height of the 2018 Brexit crisis in the UK

🔴The Lesson Jim Ratcliffe Could Learn From My Immigrant Father-in-Law

The billionaire Manchester United owning tax exile says Britain has been “colonised” by immigrants but he could learn much from the hard working migrants who have made their lives in this country, says @sangitamyska.bsky.social

Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.

Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

Nigel Farage-Backed 'Raise the Colours' Campaign Pivots to Racially Abusing Migrants and Harassing Aid Workers on French Beaches Far-right activists were seen stabbing dinghies and releasing dogs to intimidate migrants and aid workers

The ‘Raise the Colours’ campaign, widely praised by politicians and commentators as a "grassroots" campaign for "unity" has now pivoted to harassing migrants and charity workers on the beaches of France.

Activists were seen stabbing dinghies and releasing dogs to intimidate migrant and aid workers

Day after Alex Pretti killing I complained to BBC about presentation of White House statements and evidence as equivalent. Duty of balance doesn’t extend to complicity with clear lies, I said. BBC could and should report WH making false statements as a *fact of the story*. Today I got response …

The truth about immigrants and sex crime Corrosive innuendo about asylum seekers is helping no one

My column in this week's @newstatesman1913.bsky.social, on bad data used in bad faith.

FOI-ing the stats myself, I didn't find a great deal of difference in sex offending rates: 5 per 10,000 Afghan men, 7 per 10,000 UK men:

Farage's stinking personal ratings are massively overlooked

Wouldn't have got this response under McSweeney

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years

seems almost certain we’ll later find out they were coerced

Keir Starmer Faces an Immediate Test of His Pledge to 'Crackdown on Cronyism' The Labour leader's decision to make restoring trust in public life the centre piece of his election campaign, raises questions about his own record

Seeing lots of commentary along the lines of 'no-one saw the Mandelson scandal coming', which just isn't true.

Some of us have been warning about it for years. Here's what I wrote two years ago bylinetimes.com/2024/01/04/k...

Keir Starmer strips whip from former senior aide over links to sex offender PM ‘not aware’ that Matthew Doyle had campaigned for councillor who admitted having indecent images of children

It is bleakly funny how the line from some is *still* “we couldn’t have won without Morgan McSweeney and his laserlike focus on what the Public Want”, and one of the inheritances he passes on is…this:

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

How extraordinarily fortunate for Wes Streeting that the only text messages he sent Peter Mandelson just happened to be exactly the sort of things other Labour MPs want to hear from a potential leadership candidate
