Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

I have to agree - nothing has changed in practice

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

Funny how he has to add “and highly unethical” to “illegal” at the end. Shows how his mind works.

For me, the real sliding doors moment comes in September 2010, when Ed Miliband beats brother David by 1% to win Labour leadership.

Would David Cameron have won an outright majority five years later? I doubt it.

I’ll think I’m skewed by having lots of my Belgian friends living in Flanders.

I’d just call it Flemish not Dutch if you’re in Belgium

I mean all the times I heard non-Dutch friends of mine talk about beginning a conversation in a shop or restaurant in Dutch - only for the Dutch person to switch into English.

And it’s HARD to learn Dutch in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 as everyone reverts to English the moment they sense you’re not native (according to friends of mine who tried).

If you were trying to big up Tommy Robinson, isn’t this exactly the angle you’d take?

This is also why I don’t think Labour are pushing hard to rejoin. Until the Tories come round what’s the point?

How Brexit drained the Tories’ talent pool The party can’t keep expecting successful people to pretend that leaving the EU was a good idea

“An essential condition today for entry into the upper echelons of Conservative party politics is being willing to at least pretend that you think taking Britain out of the EU was a good idea. This is a never-ending lobotomy for the Tories”

Brexit will always ruin you in the end.

And it has this laugh out loud line:

“An essential condition today for entry into the upper echelons of Conservative party politics is being willing to at least pretend that you think taking Britain out of the EU was a good idea. This is a never-ending lobotomy for the Tories.”

Nigel Farage finally admits to knowing Nathan Gill after senior Reform figure repeatedly claimed he didn’t Farage has admitted he knew Gill for 'a very long time' but claims he didn't know anything about his pro-Russia activities...

Nigel Farage has finally admitted to it.

But now there's lots more questions especially considering Rupert Lowes intervention....

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

‘Thick as Thieves’: Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage’s Putin Problem Far from being distant from the Reform UK Leader, insiders told Byline Times that the former MEP convicted of bribery was one of Farage’s closest aides, while we reveal how Gill worked on the Kremlin’...

Thread 🧵

@bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

It’s a good development but I do hope they change the title from natural history to something more forward looking that enables insights into our ecosystems, biospheres, biodiversity challenges and what we need to do to sustain nature and our place in it.

Every job in the country depends on that.

Breaking the Link is happening, in Spain. 75% reduction in times when gas sets the price resulting in power prices 30% lower than the EU average. While Britain has prices more like 30% higher than the EU average. The Link is the cause. What are we waiting for, Ed, Keir, Rachel....?

A reminder that it's highly likely Nigel Farage was/is being paid by the Russians.

And if he's not, he's an absolute moron.
