Policy ‘believers’.
Another red flag gets waved in our faces…
An unworkable policy remains unworkable whether you believe in it, or not. Much like Brexit.
Relying on ideological zeal to run the show is basically admitting that your ideas are utterly shit.
This!

What a spectacle of incoherence.
Reform’s Welsh leader promises not to go down the NHS/insurance route…while Farage keeps that option open for the rest of us. Probably because he’s already committed to selling us out.
Corruption and betrayal nailed on with this lot.

Badenoch was clumsier on Iran than Farage. But both paraded just how dangerously useless they are.

I just want to drink wine and play folk music.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.

Farage standing in front of petrol forecourt sign 25P OFF WITH FARAGE REFORM UK All this fawning over Donald Trump - where has it got Nigel Farage?
Today, he is back in the rainy old UK, standing on a petrol forecourt in his faux-toff outfit, whingeing about Rachel Reeves putting fuel duty up by a few pennies - a tax that has been frozen since 2011. Besides, his mate Donald has done more in the past week to put up the price of petrol, with his continued bombing of Iran, than the chancellor. Tell that to White Van Man, Nigel.
“Farage… helped fool everyone about Brexit - which he wants to renegotiate, naturally. Surely the British people can't take this absurd man seriously again? After all, even Trump doesn't.”
Beyond time to boot Farage and his stale band of Tories off the stage.

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 finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

The same Kwasi Kwartang that fucked up the economy that gives us political advice on GMB? Surely not? It’s as if these people don’t give a fuck about the constituents they are supposed to represent. It’s like they’re just in it to make themselves richer.
Yet Kwarteng will still be gifted his TV platform to pontificate on what's right for the ordinary people of this country who actually make its wealth.
Farage, paid £94k to represent one of the most deprived areas of the UK, not quizzed over why he prioritises enriching himself over doing his job.
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.
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.

Oh.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.
It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.
Farage claimed he would have dinner with Donald Trump on Friday, but it didn't happen...

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools. British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK's Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president Reform leader Nigel Farage's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders © Ben Birchall/PA
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.

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.
So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.
