Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

‘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’...

Byline Times has spoken to several people familiar with Farage and Gill when they were both MEPs in this crucial period. Insiders describe the two of them as "thick as thieves" 5/12

Kemi Badenoch: Argentinian president Javier Milei would be ‘template’ for my government Tory leader says she can fulfil same role as Milei, a far-right leader promising big cuts to public spending

🚨Do you really want to do that Kemi?

🇦🇷"Statistics show that for the first half of this year, almost 53% of Argentina’s 45 million people were living in poverty – a two-decade high – up from 41.7% in the second half of 2023."

71% of Americans can't locate the Pacific Ocean on a map.
33% don't believe in evolution.
26% believe the sun revolves around the Earth.
40% don’t know what Auschwitz was.
33% can't name any branch of government.
54% read below a 6th grade level.
But by all means, eliminate the Dept of Education.

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!

When you hear ‘Labour are just more Tory’. Remind them of these:

- Family Hubs
- Renters Rights
- Workers Rights
- Nationalising rail
- investment in buses/trams
- Nationalising Steel
- Greatest investment in NHS

True Labour priorities

What has that Keir Starmer ever done for us ...?

Laura Kuenssberg says on her show that Keir Starmer and Labour PMs generally face the problem of "choosing between what pleases the party and what's good for the country".

Sounds a lot like "left wing things I oppose vs right wing things I like"...

Matt Hancock accused of insulting 'memory of every COVID victim' over inquiry comments When the pandemic hit in early 2020, hospital patients were rapidly discharged into care homes - but there was no policy requiring them to be tested for COVID before admission.

Matt Hancock says his “protective ring” around care homes was just “rhetoric”.

This is deeply insulting to all those who lost loved ones. Empty, misleading rhetoric is no way to deal with a national emergency and can be deadly.

Matt Handcock says discharging patients into care homes was ‘least-worst’ Covid decision in huge outburst Matt Hancock defends controversial decisions during the pandemic, claiming discharges to care homes were the least-worst option.

“Hancock showed utter contempt for bereaved families…completely devoid of accountability. He admitted he knew the care sector wouldn’t be able to cope…then did nothing to protect it. And when disaster struck, he blamed everyone but himself.”

Matt Hancock - the odious twats odious twat. A gentle reminder of your common or garden Conservative politician - useful given every MSM pundit is having a go at Labour...

Two photos of Matt Hancock lying in a coffin on the reality show "I'm a celebrity get me out of here." The text reads: "Matt Hancock got paid £320,000 for lying in a coffin."

A photograph of my husband's coffin covered in a blanket of blue flowers. The text reads: "My husband didn't. "

Remembering when Matt Hancock showed his contrition and deep reflection on all those lost to covid on his watch by going on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here".
#CovidInquiry #MattHancock

Matt Hancock stayed at the mansion of a Tory donor who owns Randox without declaring it. Hancock then awarded them £500m through the VIP PPE lane.

Will we hear about THIS at the Covid Enquiry?

Matt Hancock is worse than I remember?

Vain, smug, self interested, slimy, arrogant loathsome little man.

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone.

My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

Nigel Farage is an economic car-crash waiting to happen The Reform leader makes Liz Truss seem like a fiscal genius.

Farage’s latest policy would let super-rich foreigners pay a one-off £250k fee and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets.

Experts have said the policy would cost £34bn over five years.

As I wrote recently, Farage is an economic car-crash waiting to happen…

Donald J. Trump @ @re... • 11/29/11 In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran. Donald J. Trump ® @real... • 1/17/12 @BarackObama will attack Iran in order to get re-elected.

Oh

Is anything more illustrative of the total failure the Tories were than HS2?

I have linked above to the Hansard version of the speech, as that contains the full damning assessment of the Tories legacy. The version on .gov.uk has had to be sanatised to remove 'political content', haha.

2/2

For ten minutes, Wilf Frost tried to get Shadow Home Sec Chris Philp to accept the rank hypocrisy in saying his party was totally right not to do something for 14 years AND Starmer totally wrong for not doing it sooner than six months. But it was like arguing with a tenacious parakeet. ~AA

Rupert Lowe, the multi millionaire MP, who stood as a Reform candidate, says he hates paying tax.

The whole reason for Reform’s existence.

Honesty at last.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Crowd of protesters holding large banner and smaller placards outside the Houses of Parliament, with Big Ben in the background. The large banner reads ‘tax extreme wealth’

Since 2010, we have lost:

750 youth centres
800 libraries
1,086 swimming pools
1,416 Sure Start children’s centres

Tax multi millionaires, give us back our public services.

Join our fight for public services in public ownership.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Can many people name the chairman of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems or Greens?

How often does an unelected bureaucrat get the 8:10 interview on Radio 4?

Completely disproportionate media coverage of Zia Yusuf saga

The BBC plans to alter news “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama” in order to win the trust of Reform voters, Byline Times reports.

The plan was drawn up by senior executives including Director General Tim Davie and former GB News executive Robbie Gibb.

Seems like an appropriate time to repost this

Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right?

Elon Musk: I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.

Reporter: Oh, okay. I was told anything is good.

Musk: Well, no
