Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.

The Tories and Reform UK voted against.

Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying β€˜Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Daniel Taylor, seen here taking Nigel Farage on a tour of Ramsgate was a Kent Councillor.

He’s just been jailed for 12 months for 10 years of coercive behaviour and threatening to kill his wife.

We've had questions from three broadcasters so far, and they have all been about the practicalities and costs. None has asked about the legal/moral issue of retrospectively changing laws so huge numbers of people who have made their lives in the UK will be expelled.

Remember how I said that the problem is not Yer Da on Facebook: the problem is elite radicalisation, the political and media class driving themselves and each other insane? Reform is talking here about mass deportation.

Hi Nigel Farage, just wondering when you’re going to investigate Matt Goodwin over Russian oil funding, paid through Hungarian interests?

Reform’s white nationalism will extinguish everything good about Britain If they gain power people will realise – but far too late

Heartbreaking from @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social on the very real damage Farage and Reform are doing to our country and shared future.

β€œBrexit was the first, deep cut into that optimistic, multiracial Britain. What has followed was entirely predictable.”

This should be interesting.

Nigel Farage said Liz Truss’s budget was β€œthe best Conservative Budget since 1986”.

Robert Jenrick wanted the Tories to expel Liz Truss as a result of it.

In the ongoing political pothole wars in Nottinghamshire

Reform UK now blame the state of the county’s roads on the last Tory Administration at County Hall

From 2021 - 2024 - The Leader of Notts CC was Reform UK’s now Head of Local Govt Delivery (and ex Tory) Ben Bradley

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Matt Goodwin is a political opportunist who doesn't care about people in Gorton and Denton.

Only a vote for Labour can stop him. Vote Labour on Thursday 26 February.

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is aboutβ€”we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway….
