When I lived in Germany as a rebellious young man in the 80s I got the dreaded "Können SIe sich ausweisen?" from a cop. I told them not to be silly, I was English and of course I couldn't prove my ID. They drove me back to my digs in the squad car to get my passport. Sorted.🤣

That's quite a journey from standing for the Lib Dems in 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_St... I'm told he joined Labour via a spell with the Tories so all he needs now is some time with the Greens to complete the set.

Right now, Donald Trump is at a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle, while in Gaza a genocide is unfolding.

He alone can stop the assault on Gaza City, end the aid blockade and secure the release of hostages - Keir Starmer must make that clear to him before this visit ends.

Ed Davey, "Elon Musk has applied to sell energy in this country"

"When someone is calling for the overthrow of a democratically elected government, we should take that seriously"

"I don't think Elon Musk is a fit and proper person for us to do business with"

Ed Davey explains that the reason he is boycotting the state dinner is because the one person who can influence Israel's genocide on Gaza is President Trump

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’ Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”. The US president is expected to arrive in the UK on Tuesday night. He will enjoy a huge amount of special treatment as ministers attempt to preserve the special relationship, including a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle for Trump and his wife, Melania.

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

It's not in Clacton, it's in Frinton. Worlds apart.

7 dictator-esque Farage moments as he backs torture and paying Taliban Launching his hard-right mass deportation plan, the Reform leader said he would scrap Britain’s human rights protections and put peace in Northern Ireland at risk

Dictator-esque Nigel Farage plans backing torture, jailing kids and paying jihadis.

Scrap UK human rights protections, lock up women and children, jeopardise peace in Northern Ireland, risk going to war with the church.

Opposes worker rights, supports fracking.

This after supporting Brexit.

If you're a seed-eater you need to take plenty of water onboard to balance-out those dry seeds, which I guess are desiccating in the heat of these unusually hot, dry, June days.

MailyEXPRESSOgraph TRIUMPH FOR REFORM AS IT SWEEPS INTO THIRD PLACE by Our Political Correspondent Hugh Kip In the most seismic upheaval in the history of politics, Nigel Farage's Reform party continued its inevitable march to Number 10 by spectacularly coming third in the Hamilton by-election. After a disastrous night for Labour which saw the party only come first and win the election, it was clear that Starmer's days are numbered. If this result were replicated in a General Election, Reform would win a massive no seats, while labour would be consigned to the dustbin of history with another massive majority. The records will show that our prediction that it would be a two horse race between the SNP and Reform became a reality - as the Scots rejected the discredited SNP and consigning them to second place. This proved, as we said, that Reform is the only option north of the border, apart from Labour. A bruised and battered Starmer was clearly on the ropes as he addressed cheering crowds, and he must now only be days away from resigning - thus paving the way for Nigel Farage and his four MPs to sweep to power.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics.
This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Very surprised not to see Reform UK represented on BBC2's Springwatch.

Reform UK Chairman Zia Yusuf Resigns With Parting Jibe After Burqa Row "I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time."

Hahaha! V well said @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

What a clown show of an operation.

Reform UK are acting like they’re revolutionising politics.

Here Andrea Jenkyns last night shows exactly why they are not.

Do your research before bringing the sass.
