Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

Zack Polanski wears a white poppy as he overlooks remembrance ceremony at the cenotaph

If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔

Emma Monk (@emmamonk) Let’s take a look at the ridiculous claim that there are “too many black people” on TV to try and justify Reform MP, Sarah Pochin’s horrendous racism…

Reform press conferences on what it might do were it to win an election four years from now shouldn't be getting more media coverage than concrete policy announcements from Britain's actual government

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Look at this graph, Reform almost all of them went to Private School.

If you are Working Class and you vote for Reform, you are a traitor, to yourself.

Or as we call them, a bloody fool.

Reform's humbling in Caerffili and the online bots Ethan Jones Make no mistake, the Caerffili by-election result is an embarrassing defeat for Reform UK. A humbling. Given the coverage in the UK media and activity across social media, in the lead up t...

The bot element of Reform’s online army is very active and not very subtle. This toxic environment is designed to shut down other views and disillusion you into giving up. But bots can’t vote ✍️ Ethan Jones

I wonder if Sarah Pochin ever gets as worked up about the overrepresentation of multimillionaire, privately educated elites in her own party…

Reform’s Sarah Pochin forced to apologise after claiming adverts 'full of black people' drive her 'mad’ | LBC The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Kwasi Kwarteng Wealth taxes will make the UK poorer Labour's logic appears sensible but it defies economic reality

Sorry @theipaper.com but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice…
Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss.
He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.

The Crown Estate has been paying Prince Andrew's rent whilst charging Welsh famers to access their own land ✍️Emily Price

Exactly. As @willhaycardiff.bsky.social says in his excellent substack/newsletter, "This sums up Wales’ left of centre identity. Running on extreme right platforms doesn’t just alienate most of the voters, it actively makes them work against you."

I gasped when I heard it. How dare he!

This.

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Abolition of stamp duty would be worth £80,000 to the average person whose girlfriend buys him a £900,000 second home in Clacton

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

SHARE!

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Starmer gambles on ‘levelling up’-style initiative to tackle Reform threat Deprived communities to be given tens of millions to patch up derelict shops, pubs and libraries and ‘restore pride’

This is a welcome shift but it should have been the strategy from day one. The rise of support for Reform is not really about immigration. Support for Reform is highest in those areas with *low* migration, but high deprivation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I could be wrong, but I don’t remember so many polls being done about who would win a general election if it were held tomorrow at any other point when it was four years out from a GE ? Who is commissioning these polls? What is their purpose? Justification for wall to wall Farage coverage maybe?

ITV News leading with “foreign criminals bring deported” and Farage’s views that paracetamol in pregnancy science isn’t settled. The news agenda in this country is an absolute constant trash fire

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.

Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐
