At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.
Oh please let it sink them all, including those who’ve poured money into that deeply nasty and corrupt little outfit.
Yes. Funny but also therapeutically contemptuous of Farage and Reform and the barrelling shitshow they represent.
It worked with huge amounts of help from the rightwing media. And a dogged refusal to make anyone really accountable for their failures and lies. Maybe we could stop doing that now and see how our democracy and national wellbeing improves as a result.
“While Nige has been brown-nosing Trump with his warmongering, he’s missed that most of the country doesn’t want to follow the orange narcissist into an illegal war with no fixed objectives other than continue till The Donald gets bored”

Today I will mostly be trying to bribe people with cheap petrol, in the hope that they will forget that I have been cheering on the orange idiot whose war is pushing up fuel prices.
The bullshit excuses came thick and fast… while any attempt at charm quickly drained away…
More of this please, media. He’s there to be had. There’s a mess of nasty inadequacy and failure lurking behind his oh-so-confident bluster.

There is no accountability for these grifting charlatans. Nothing. They torch the economy for everyone else, make everyone’s life harder, fail abysmally, lie to us all and yet, on they go. Scamming away.
No shame. No comeuppance.
Always shouting. Revolting.
Mr Kwarteng, who controls a 5.4 per cent stake in Stack together with his wife, Harriet, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have Nigel Farage and Blockchain.com become strategic investors in Stack. Nigel's unwavering support for British business and belief that Bitcoin is set to rapidly expand its role in finance is perfectly aligned with the company's ethos and business plans." Mr Farage has taken a 6.3 per cent stake in a Bitcoin reserve business led by Mr Kwarteng (PA)
Reform UK last year pledged to slash red tape and cut taxes on cryptocurrencies and set up a bitcoin reserve fund if elected, which would allow people to pay tax in the cryptocurrency. The Treasury recently announced legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies like bitcoin in a similar way to that of other finance products. This follows efforts to overhaul the market, which has grown in popularity in recent years as an alternative investment product and a way of making payments. The UK's financial regulator has nonetheless warned that it is a "high risk" investment and that people could "lose all their money" from the asset.
Kwarteng and Farage.
What a pisstaking combination. Drooling over their scams. Totally comfortable - in fact eager - to take risks with other people’s money, rights and lives.
Just repulsive.
Ugh. Farage is in it for the grift. And only the grift. Anyone who thinks he’ll make the country better is deeply delusional, ignorant and/or racist. He must not get his grubby little hands on power.
So, as people stuggle with their mortgages and bills, Farage invests £215,000 in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto business.
And plans to deregulate that high-risk industry by removing our rights and consumer protections.
He’s laughing at voters. All the way to the bank.

Farage is pitiful.
“I never said that”
“A tax cut can be not putting taxes up”
“I didn’t put it on the leaflets”
Oh ffs. You said it. You didn’t do it. And now you’re lying and blaming someone else. Same as you always do.
If only our media were significantly better at pointing that out.
Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.
Yes exactly. The relationship “cooling” implies both sides just aren’t that into it any more.
Not true. Farage remains feverishly passionate about being Trump’s British poodle. And Trump couldn’t give a shit.
As visa issuance has been dropping rapidly, net migration to the UK is likely to fall further over 2026, with one forecast suggesting it might be less than 100,000 in 2026. The dilemma facing all European governments - between maintaining employment as societies age and accommodating political pressure to reduce immigration - has not been resolved by Brexit, and our estimates show that the decision to leave the EU made only a modest difference to the number of foreign-born workers in Britain.
Brexit and the ugly immigration policy it gave birth to…haven’t solved the dilemma of immigration vs prosperity. And how can they? Based, as they both are, on politicians and media refusing to have honest conversations with the public about the inevitable trade offs of turning prejudice into policy.
Genuinely can’t think of a worse way to decide on performance…
Badenoch thinks ‘likes’ from bot farms and algorithmically promoted far-right grifters = public opinion.
She’s lost it. And won’t be able to find her way back to reality or credibility from here.
Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools.

Farage had given the impression that he expected to see Trump, telling an event hosted in opposition to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's proposed Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius that the president "has almost understood the deal... but I'll be dining at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night and I will reinforce the message". But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.
“Farage’s relationship with Trump has cooled”
Not really.
Farage’s relationship with Trump is a one-sided humiliation-fest.
Farage remains desperately needy and willing to sell us out to Trump. But Trump doesn’t see him as important right now.

“We would be helping the Americans and Israelis in any way they saw appropriate”
“in ⚠️ANY⚠️ way ⚠️THEY⚠️ saw appropriate”
FFS. He wets his pants about an EU army and British sovereignty one minute. But would sign our troops up to god knows what, the next.
Tice is a weapons-grade moron.
Reform must *never* get hold of power. Never.
Oh Sarah. The simpleton in you simply beams at us.
If we’re moronic enough to let them, Reform will fly flags everywhere and they will become a symbol of idiocy and prejudice as the country falls apart on their watch. The more flags there are, the worse their damage will be.
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
Put Trump’s criticism of Starmer and other democratic leaders against his consistent syrupy praise for authoritarian, brutal leaders.
Starmer is in good company. Just remind yourself how Trump praises authoritarian antidemocratic leaders in this thread. It’s an eye opener 🧵 1/
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
When faced with a choice between integrity or idiocy, Badenoch always chooses idiocy. This is the mindset of a politician powered by X. A dullwit who thinks ‘likes’ by bot farms = public opinion.
However, more issues remain relevant today. In particular, the ongoing Operation Epic Fury is a US military operation. It will not be possible for the UK to exert any significant influence in its planning. Any participation will be - as it was in Iraq - in subordination to the US. As the Iraq inquiry report noted: "The US and UK are close allies, but the relationship between the two is unequal." Despite the UK providing significant military assets and personnel to Iraq, it failed to exert any significant influence on US decisions.
Would Farage, Badenoch, Johnson, Hannan, Blair, the Daily Mail, the Sun… like to comment on this?
No?
Thought not. Because their own raging inadequacy, dishonesty, arrogance, wrongness and startlingly cynical irresponsibility prevents them from being credible actors in this fireball of menace.
We could write their script for them. We’re so goddam tired of their script. But equally, we could write the useless, waste-of-time questions they’re asked by these feeble media figures who never hold them to account and who allow the bullshit to drown out the truth.
And to not be held to account for lying…
