How Reform's extended tantrum over losing the Gorton and Denton by-election reveals exactly why they are on course for an even bigger defeat at the next general election

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!
Britain's 'patriotic' press cheering on the latest attacks on us by a hostile foreign leader
"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.
So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.
Military action will not make Britain or its allies safer. It will escalate the conflict, deepen regional instability, and endanger countless more lives. https://www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-events/news/uk-should-work-for-peace-not-war-in-the-middle-east
Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.
The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue. 6:33 AM • 3/1/26 • 893K Views
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the wellbeing of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace. 6:33 AM • 3/1/26 • 187K Views

Further back or further forward? Or just further to the right? I guess I'll never know because I don't want to read his interview. Hey ho.
Kemi Badenoch's refusal to even mildly criticise a convicted far-right criminal and his billionaire mate, openly calling for violence on our streets, tells you everything you need to know about her leadership
There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

🔴 Remember the £330million contract given to Trump donor Peter Thiel's firm Palantir to build an NHS data platform?
Well we've found out that most English hospitals aren't using it - because it's not very good

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
Essential listening today.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.
So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising.
He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.
Trump & Putin as allies is beyond scary.
