It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasnโ€™t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: โ€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.โ€

When Reform's Nathan Gill is sentenced for bribery, he will be the third of Nigel Farage's former MEPs to be jailed for being corrupt, after Tom Wise (expenses fraud) and Ashley Mote (falsely claiming benefits). What is it about Farage that attracts crooks?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

Farage has resorted to threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding ยฃ885,000 out of thin air to buy a house.

Letโ€™s keep talking about it, he canโ€™t get away with his corruption & threats will not work!

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its โ€˜innocent faceโ€™ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far rightโ€ฆ
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

English Roundabouts
ย 
Theyโ€™re making the roundabouts great again 
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before itโ€™s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile. 

St George is cross, as well he may be โ€“
whipped-up hate, heโ€™s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Brian Bilston

UK Government: Keep your promise to protect workers Zero hours contracts, unfair โ€˜fire and rehireโ€™, waiting months or even years to be able to access benefits โ€“ the world of work in our country is weighted against actual workers. Itโ€™s billionaire bosse...

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!
