As Jonathan Gullis joins Reform UK, it's only fair to remind people of this.

Trump admin claims win as UK bows to pressure on NHS drug spending The U.S. said the combined changes would increase the net price the NHS pays for new medicines by 25 percent.

EXCLUSIVE: The UK has agreed to raise how much its National Health Service spends on new drugs, in a concession made under pressure from the Trump administration in return for tariff-free access to the US market.

Before the Budget I told you the Chancellor was going to do 3 things with it:

💷 Tacking the cost of living
✂️ Cutting NHS waiting lists
📉 Driving down borrowing and debt

How did I know?

Because if you ignore the media and listen to what the government said, they told us.

And she delivered all 3.

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP.

But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion.

He said it was a “hoax”.

He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference.

Why?

Excuse me, @dictionarycom.bsky.social, could you define 'win' for me, please?

Russian influence petition surges past 100,000 signatures A petition demanding a full inquiry into Russian influence in UK politics has passed 100,000 signatures

This week showed what online communities can do.

By sharing the petition for an inquiry into Russian influence, people have forced Parliament to act.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Priorities from the dude pretending to be president. 🙄

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

Ahead of tomorrow's budget, readers have written to their local newspapers to say that Brexit has failed. Their letters reminded the public and policymakers of the economic damage done by Brexit.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

The mould truth: Expert warns Brits of one common habit that brings damp into their homes As winter returns, and households dry laundry indoors, new research suggests this is contributing to dangerous mould problems in the home

Recent research showed that a huge proportion (87%) of Brits rely on hanging wet clothes inside their homes – and they’re unknowingly causing serious issues.

A study by the University of Manchester found that drying a wet load of washing indoors can release two litres of water into your home.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Truth!

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Nigel Farage's racism denials are dishonest, says ex-classmate Peter Ettedgui tells the BBC Nigel Farage targeted antisemitic abuse at him when they were teenagers.

"Farage repeatedly... said Hitler was right and 'gas 'em', and that was frequently followed by a 'sssss'... the sound of escaping gas.

"He said Farage's words had "hit hard" because his grandparents had escaped Nazi Germany and much of their family had perished in the Holocaust"

Defending our national treasure: the voice of the nation Politicians see the BBC through the lens of TV news, but those who want to undermine it threaten a central plank of our national culture

"For a century, the BBC has been our classroom, our concert hall, our stage, our storyteller and our window on the world. Politicians need reminding: its much more than a news channel."
