Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.
FACTS:
Net Zero barely nudges your bill.
Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.
So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
Two summer’s of attacks on places of worship in the UK show why what happens in the media and online impacts the real world.
To tackle anti-Muslim hostility and Islamophobia we need to define it. I’m pleased the government will appoint a lead on this and a definition can’t come soon enough.
If ever there was evidence needed that Farage, Badenoch and our media are all acting against our national interest, well there we have it. Disgraceful. I think the country sees that too.
“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”
And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

This is straight up #fraud.

HMRC and creditors get nothing.

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

Twice now Starmer has said he's consulted with "allies AND the United States".
He's a skilled lawyer, he knows what he's saying.
Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another £3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...
Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏
Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT
Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.
Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.
So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.
This is progressive policy making. I live in hope that the white paper will be too.

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.
Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy?
Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT?
Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.
"We're not like other parties, and I won't tolerate disloyalty," says Farage, as he introduces a cabinet that is 50% disloyal people from another party.

To all those saying Labour is attacking people with disabilities please have a read.
Sadiq Khan: "Keir Starmer was elected with a huge majority and needs to be given the time to deliver, especially given the extremely challenging circumstances he inherited after 14 years of Tory governments."
Since Starmer was elected, @BBCNews and @BBCPolitics have been on a crusade to destabilize and bring down the elected government, having previously enabled Brexit, propped up a succession of incompetentTory PMs, and boosted the far-right Reform. People now are truly sick of it.
Does anyone else long for the days when political journalism was about reportage and analysis rather than endless tittle-tattle and trying to shift public opinion?
Does our media control who is in government, or do we, the people, who elected Sir Keir Starmer for a 5 year term, get to decide?
The media have been trying to remove him from power since day 1, to over the decision we made.
While there is justified outrage about Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor &others, the relentless media focus on Keir Starmer (who was NOT mentioned in any Epstein file) is overdone.
By contrast, no focus on Farage who WAS mentioned (and who, BTW, applauded the appointment of Mandelson)…
For all the (justified) political angst about how and why Peter Mandelson got the Washington job, Kemi Badenoch's spokesman admitted that he can't recall the Tories raising the Epstein link at the time, and doesn't think they formally opposed the move either.
Farage is a danger to us all.
Why is no one investigating & exposing his extensive links to a secretive, dodgy and illegal network of individuals around the world who are trying to subvert our democracy, with funding from Russia?
1/2
Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...
The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.
This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

For those keeping score at home:
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power
