Yup - so we'd better quickly deflect from all that & blame those lefties at the college he did a term with.... Can't admit he was one of them eh?
Andrew Rait (@andrewrait.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah yes, the same fellow who has spent his summer waving intimidating flags, whipping up hate marches against asylum seekers in hotels, calling for "illegals" to be deported to places where they face certain torture & death. Quite the "Christian Conservative" under attack 🙄

Where exactly is the "Change" we were promised? Protestors locked up for standing up to a genocide. Politicians up to their necks in sleaze (I'm looking at you Mandelson) Chaotic, rudderless govt. May as well have stuck with Sunak.... #WhatAFuckingMessStarmer labour.org.uk/change/

Talking of North Korea @mrjamesob.bsky.social here is Farage's very own propaganda channel suggesting schools should kick off with the National Anthem.... Nothing dictatorial at all eh?

They aren't laughed out the door because for some reason our press/media have decided that Johnson & Truss weren't destructive enough to everyones well being so we need the full batshit by ushering the #ReformSpivs into No10

I despair. Each time they pander to #ReformSpivs the more they may as well just hand them the keys to No10. Farage himself won't want to be PM, too much like hard work, but I suspect the terminally dim #DubaiDickie quite likes the idea of his protrait hanging on the stairs. God help us all....

Diana and Dodi Fayed, her boyfriend of just six weeks, as well as their driver, Henri Paul, died in a car crash on this day in 1997. I was working as a teacher at a summer school in Kent, and the burly ex cop who told me the news was crying so hard that I couldn't understand a word he was saying.
Andrew Rait (@andrewrait.bsky.social) reply parent
I had returned from a very liquid dinner with 2 'meeja' friends, a GMTV anchor & a BBCWales business editor. Phones were pinging like mad. Several gallons of coffee & they forego sleep to head to offices. TV Studios went from "a car crash" to "Diana dead" & I thought this was no way to report news

I'd counter that his current reticence & silence at Farage's wild pronouncements over deportation (unchallenged by virtually everyone in the media) has already put him in danger of political death. He appears to be a little too focused on world, rather than domestic, affairs
Andrew Rait (@andrewrait.bsky.social) reply parent
Which does beg the question as to why Starmer won't confront the chief architect of the chaos with this. Hang the failure of Brexit & the lack of coherent plan to implement it around Farage's neck & point out that the charlatan is doing the same thing again. He needs to be braver!

Yesterday: Nigel Farage says Reform UK "will detain and deport absolutely anyone that comes via that route.. Yes, women and children" Today: Nigel Farage, "Deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage. The news reports who said that were wrong"

"The news reports who said that were wrong" All the news reports did was state what he said. 🤷♂️ This is a prime example of a grifter denying what he actually said.

“I don’t remember anyone ever saying to us ‘Oh I just don't think we're properly reflecting the Green Party view, or the liberal-left view on this story’,” one former BBC journalist told me. “It was always just slanted in one direction – which was basically the nativist, authoritarian direction.”
