Never forget this photo.

This was the DOGE team in Reform UK’s flagship Kent Council stating they were shaking up local politics.

It was a key local election promise, criticising local government waste.

They found nothing.

Same old Reform, always lying.

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide.

Farage is in trouble.

Unfortunately not, I spent most of that time frame in BFG, watching the delights chosen by the SSVC bosses, don’t think it would have been thought “suitable”.

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.

A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

An EPL team with an even more dysfunctional transfer process than our own coming in for Engels the day before the deadline, they wouldn’t sell him, would they? Even if they held out for £30 million, you know they wouldn’t get a replacement.

Nigel Farage here, lavishing praise on the UAE for its approach to “law and order” - a state that locks up activists and has arbitrary detentions.

Grim.

I'm sorry, I'm sure he might have been a decent MP but ambition can be damaging and now he looks like damaged goods.

Disagree - It was all about Andy Burnham’s ego and the committee rightly expect him to see out his mayoralty and not be a selfish prick

Well this voter thinks he should put aside his ego and support the current government.

Lowe doesn’t even have a party yet. 🤣 FYI, GB Politics leans heavily pro-Reform.

It doesn’t just lean, it’s exclusively right wing and a misinformation machine.

Anything to distract attention away from Farage and his rule breaking, especially if it can be twisted to reflect negatively on the government.

Media coverage of a thing that hasn't happened vs a party leader's multiple breaches of financial rules is... completely unsurprising.

Petition: Ban the use of smart glasses with recording capability in public spaces We ask the Government to ban smart glasses with cameras in public spaces. We believe they allow secret filming, and undermine privacy, safety and the public’s right to know when they’re being recorded...

I found a petition to ban smart glasses in public spaces that needs a bit of a boost, if anyone else feels strongly about this: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
