Wouldn’t it be lovely to watch reform implode?

👏

Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure, says The Telegraph.

Brexit Effect:

UK GDP down 8%
Investment down 18%
Productivity down 4%
Employment down 4%
Immigration not cut
No trade benefits
No regulatory freedom

Why do some still vote for Farage?

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Crypto Investor Donates £9 Million to Reform UK as Nigel Farage Plugs His Company and Tells Industry 'I Am Your Champion' The Reform leader recently used media interviews to back Christopher Harborne's company while promising to cut taxes and regulations on crypto firms

Nigel Farage says that Christopher Harborne, whose crypto firm the Reform leader plugged on air, while promising to hand massive tax cuts to, wants "absolutely nothing in return" for the £9 million he gave his party bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

It’s disgusting that science can be for sale, other than a wage. Science should be, and always should be, free from any political bias.

The way that the Palestinians have been treated will be looked upon very poorly by future historians.

People aren’t panicking enough about climate change in general.

I can see the rise of the far right everywhere.

Scary.

Reform UK gets record £9mn donation from Christopher Harborne Nigel Farage’s party attracts far more funding than both Labour and the Conservatives

Political parties should be focused on voters not donors.

For as long as mega donations like this are permitted, voters will rightly suspect that their interests come second to those of wealthy donors.

A donations cap would show that politics can’t be bought.

The way that people consume media and the content of the media that they consume it is fracturing our society.

Can’t wait for mine. 2016 has been a big year for me, musically. Love to hear you on the radio, James.

Reuse and return schemes could help eliminate plastic pollution in 15 years, says report Pew Charitable Trusts finds plastic pollution will more than double globally by 2040 unless action taken

Yes, and this could have been done a long time ago if not for the lobbying of the packaging industry

We don't lack technical solutions, but we lack the power to rein in destructive industries and break their stranglehold over governments and popular narratives

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

Heard on BBC 6 Music news bulletin:

"24,000 homes in Tunbridge Wells are still without water after a problem that had interupted supplies since Saturday recurred."

Next item: "Thames Water has posted £400 mn profits after increasing bills by a third"

This is water. Why are we allowing this?

A scandal indeed.

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.

They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.

Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs.

What a scandal.

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

This moment right here is the only one you’ve Gotta get through. This simple realisation changed my life.

Our economic woes are caused by Brexit, (Ukraine), Covid, Brexit’s ugly baby - our dismal immigration policy, Truss budget, 14yrs of austerity…
All rightwing policies.
Quite mad that our media acts as if Labour’s budget is the end of days, when they failed to adequately scrutinise any of
that👆shit.

I think this graph says a lot. An authoritarian regime is soon going to be the world superpower. What’s it going to mean?

Sir Keir Starmer Wants Growth—Perhaps He Should Learn Spanish Spain's socialist government has delivered economic growth three times faster than Britain's; Labour would do well to study how.

I’m so glad that the cause has such a wonderful and eloquent champion.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Rich folk just wanna be richer. They don’t realise what it is that makes you rich.

It’s hard to believe that our political leaders are so inept that they have let the arsonist seize control of the political agenda.

Went to the pub this week, and the main topic of conversation was immigration. Like that’s the most important thing in the UK right now. 🙄

IMAGE: A BLACK HOLE. TEXT: Labour's Budget A £90BN BREXIT BLACK HOLE

This Government has chosen to reject the single biggest thing it could do to turbocharge economic growth and repair the £90 billion Brexit black hole.

For millions of people struggling with higher bills this was a botched budget.

I can tell you as a parent that it’s very very difficult.
