As Farage's star continues to rise I can't help but detect exactly the same mistakes being made all over again. In so routinely prioritising Farage's rhetoric and personality over the substance of his policies, actions and record, the British press is once again failing to properly hold to account a man who the opinion polls now suggest has a serious chance of becoming Prime Minister in just a few years time. If that chance does become a reality then he will quickly prove, as Johnson did before him, how utterly unsuited he would be for such a position. Yet by that point much of the damage of a Farage premiership to our national public services, economy and global reputation will already have been done, with many of the same news organisations who helped to get him to that point, only belatedly bothering to point out why he had never been suitable for the job in the first place.

“Whatever happens, the damage that has already been done by the constant media indulgence of Farage and his divisive, inflammatory and outright racist views will take many years for this country to recover from.”

Yes. A disgraceful, unforgivable failure.

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Closer ties with Europe would revive our economy, boost our NHS and farming, and restore faith in politics. Starmer must seize this chance to show the public there’s a better way forward than the nasty, nonsensical “solutions” of Nigel Farage.

People are appallingly ignorant about immigration.

They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on.

It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Now the Hamas terrorists behind the October 7 atrocities are trying to erode support for recognition of a Palestinian state by falsely claiming it would be a victory for them.

Hamas do not represent the Palestinian people and have no future in Gaza with a two-state solution.

“Those who see mass migration as an existential threat to national identity, struggle to explain how their countries will manage declining populations without bringing in more working-age adults.”

We invite immigrants to fill jobs, then treat them badly and don’t stamp out xenophobic rhetoric.

It is as bad as we have ever seen it.

The scenes of famine in Gaza are simply barbaric.

As MPs of Israeli and Palestinian descent, we hope though that recognition of the State of Palestine will serve to flame the embers of hope for peace.

My open letter with @alexsobel.co.uk

Corbyn is a Lexiters, like Mick Lynch. They still believe the 1970s nonsense about ‘a Europe of the bosses’ peddled by Tony Benn and Peter Shaw.

Corbyn misled voters in 2016 and again in 2017 and 2019.

If you want to return to EU membership, don’t vote for Corbyn’s party, Labour or the Tories.

But Luke Kemp can see a solution: “If you want to save the world then the first step is to stop destroying it. In other words: don’t be a dick. Don’t work for big tech, arms manufacturers or the fossil fuel industry. Don’t accept relationships based on domination and share power whenever you can.”

“Nuclear weapons, climate change, AI, are only produced by a very small number of secretive, highly wealthy, powerful groups, like the military-industrial complex, big tech and the fossil fuel industry.

[This] is about small groups … competing for profit and power and covering all [the risks] up.”

BMA in new row as thousands of junior doctors cannot get NHS jobs In a survey by the British Medical Association, 52 per cent of doctors who have completed foundation training say they do not have a job for August

6.23m patients await 7.36m hospital appointments in England; hard to see a GP, but junior doctors can't find a job.

30,000 doctors applied for 10,000 specialist training places.

Won't encourage people to incur debts to become doctors.

Privatisation of services wasting money.

We Can Make an Impact. Safer Streets Start with Licensed E-Bike Users

We call on the UK Government to introduce a requirement for all electric bike (e-bike) riders to hold a valid driving licence — whether that be a car, motorcycle, or a newly created bike-specific licence.

“And I'll tell you what, if he manages to pull this off, we should all be wearing MAGA hats.”

You’d think this was Farage speaking.

But no, it’s Emily Thornberry, who, like the entire Labour front bench, is obeying orders to fawn and gush over Trump.

Labour have now super duper lost the Brexit plot. Just mindblowing how they keep digging that particular hole deeper and deeper and deeper.

Still, they'll have plenty of time to reflect on the error of their ways when they're run out of office in 2029.

U.K. lost control bc Brexit took £40 billion.

New analysis shows £40bn in extra tax rises were needed just to plug the Brexit productivity gap.

Now Trump tells Starmer to “cut taxes” while the UK foots the Brexit bill.

Brexit is shrinking Britain
#Brexit #Trump #Starmer #Tax

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Superbly clever - and as frightening as it was in what we used to call the Cold War.

Now the Cold War has flared up again, and everything that détente achieved is being swept aside.

‘We’ll all fry together when we fry’ was *saeva indignatio* when Lehrer wrote it - and is so, once again.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Labour ministers should be careful how they answer tendentious questions from journalists who parrot far-right ‘opinion’.

The far right wants riots, so don’t indulge those ‘legitimate concerns’.

Explain. Provide contexts. And get rid of those duff advisers and their stupid red lines.

This is what makes the alleged sexual assaults by asylum seekers moralising particularly hard to take

Security tightens as Donald Trump plays golf at Turnberry The US President is in Scotland for a four-day private visit, which includes the opening of a second golf course at his Aberdeenshire resort.

And how much all is this costing British AND American taxpayers??

Just to protect a geriatric pervert on a PRIVATE recreational visit to Scotland.

Which fact still won't prevent our Prime Minister from scurrying 500+ miles just to kneel at the mighty one's feet...

s/s of Janey Godley's linked blog post ___ I welcomed Trump to Scotland Last Friday I got up at 7am my country was screwed. The English and Welsh had decided to leave the EU. Scotland voted to stay but because the better together campaign had stopped us getting independence we can’t stand alone. Racist attacks soared over night in England. Scotland is handcuffed to a nation that voted to leave Europe based on lies and racism. UKIP wankstain Farage and Mad Boris said £350 million a week will be no longer be given to EU but given to NHS. Next morning he admitted it was a lie. Too late people who hated immigrants had voted.

So I felt like shit and was full of anger and I caught a bus to Turnberry Golf course just to welcome Mr Trump who flew in from US. I got out of the bus and stood proudly with my sign “TRUMP IS A CUNT” the cops saw my sign and harassed me into folding it up. “haha now nobody will see your stupid poster” the cop said. It went viral, the world saw it so fuck him. If you go to Vine account https://vine.co/u/1031311923725185024 or https://youtu.be/fAulPWvWkus you can see the videos of the cops trying to stop me. Fuck you Trump. The major pig fucker David Cameron has resigned, there is no decent opposition, the Labour party are attacking each other and in Scotland Nicola Sturgeon is talking to Europe about a custody order over our own country as the messy divorce of England rages on.

A letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer on 25 July calls for urgent action on Gaza. He urges a ceasefire, says Trump could influence Israel, and wants Starmer to press him on ending the fighting and getting proper aid in.

A follow-up section of Ed Davey’s 25 July letter to Keir Starmer. He urges Starmer to push Trump on a joint UK-US UN resolution for a Gaza ceasefire, reopening humanitarian corridors, and recognising Palestine. Davey says the UK must lead—even if it means challenging Trump—and calls on Starmer to show that leadership during Trump’s UK visit.

I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to use Trump’s visit to the UK to push for an end to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

“Labour should beware Mums for Reform”, says Patrick Maguire, who really should know better (today’s Times).

Farage’s tactic is to establish “a straight line between immigration, crime, and female voters”.

How is Farage’s proposal to legalise hand guns going to protect women and schoolchildren?
