I hung on for longer than most but they've flown too close to the fascist hellfire. Can't take it anymore.

Over the last 5 years, the European Investment Bank has helped to build and renovate 665,000 affordable homes across the EU. Before Brexit, it was the biggest funder of British social housing too. But all that funding and investment has been lost because Brexiters told you we didn't need it. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
Overt racism on our streets, flags as threats, Reform strutting around like they’re in power already, toxic radicalisation by Musk on X, politicians howling to leave the ECHR and to hell with the consequences… How can the govt just meekly nod along? FFS and for all our sakes, stand up to this shit.
Interesting...but in the same way 'we should be like Norway' was Farage's gambit leading up to Brexit, there's no way, pumped by millions of US dollars he would go 'French style healthcare'. We'd be plunged right into the bankruptcy inducing major profit US version.
THIS. Which is the real reason Farage wants to leave it. bsky.app/profile/d-mo...
I think Vance is more useful than Trump. Especially when it comes to the destruction of democracy & peace in Europe. Which is Putin's main goal.
I agree. We can still distract Trump with our quaint traditions & royal visits whereas Vance just fkn hates us.
I'll be genuinely keen to see if the BBC report on this. As it's impossible to positively spin our future PM cosying up to billionaire US disaster capitalists, big oil, private healthcare donors & anti-abortion 'christians' they'll probably not bother.
Parliament returns today. But rather than representing his constituents after six weeks away from the Commons, Farage is speaking at an event alongside Trump’s authoritarian allies in Washington 👇🏻
I disagree. He's over there getting 🇺🇸 investment for when becomes PM & turns the UK into a Belarusian nightmare. bsky.app/profile/d-mo...
Farage will be sharing a stage with the architects of Project 2025, who have advocated for a whole bunch of nasty policies including scrapping clean energy investment, restricting abortion, limiting access to contraceptives, and dismantling the state
I don't think it'll be a fair election that clears the stink
Also true, just a shame the current occupants of the White House have many in waiting

I really can't see a pro-Russian Vance & Theil letting go of their grip on power over something as inconsequential as a functioning democracy.
Doesn't matter if they've already binned free & fair elections
Fairly sure that having your feet touch the Union Jack is a massive sign of disrespect. Which is clearly on brand for someone willing to undermine the country for cash at any opportunity.
"Delivery" & "I get it" were often repeated by Liz & Rishi as they headed for the trapdoor
"Labour has the power and the duty to protect the country from the worst possible result, a hard-right populist government elected by a thin minority. The risk is substantial"
There was a tiny bit of hope that they'd come back from the summer break clear that fighting Farage at his own game is a disaster and promote a bit of empathy & unity
You can’t out-fash the fash. Stop trying. It makes us hate you, and the fash will never love you.
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
Gareth Southgate can do this. Why can't Starmer?
I really hope you're right
Why is he doing this? It's not going to win anyone over. Also, if he was desperate to stand in front of a flag then surely the one that includes all the countries he represents would have been a better choice?
It's Nigel Farage. Possibly taking a breather from Putin's anus.
Farage at a posh garden party with Murdoch & the son of KGB. Pretty much sums him up.

Reform UK, the right leaning think tank Policy Exchange, and some Labour grandees, are all pushing for us to either leave the ECHR, or disapply parts of it temporarily or permanently. This puts me, you and everyone at risk, not just those seeking sanctuary.
So true. Over here in Europe we can distract Trump with our quaint traditions & royal visits. Vance & Musk just straight up fucking hate us. The pivot to pro-Russia/anti-European manoeuvres will be fast with JD. Expect Greenland to go first. Then strategically, we'll be boxed in... so who knows.
Was a regular BBC6 listener for over 10 years but switched off in January because the 'news' was an infuriating binfire of right-wing propaganda. Much happier now over at NTS.
It would be very difficult/impossible to deliver a trumpian hellscape in the UK while we have the ECHR protecting us. Outside it, we are well & truly fair game. Which is why billionaire disaster capitalists & asset strippers are flocking to Farage. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/res...

As always with very posh boomer men, they can't imagine a world where the govt comes for their family. That we are discussing joining Russia outside the ECHR, torching hard won rights & protections for ALL of us, because a few people are scared of refugees proves the UK has lost it's fkn mind.
Clearly the billionaires pumping Reform full of cash are salivating over an isolated island of 69million stripped of all rights & protections outside the pesky ECHR. As always with Farage, immigration is the trojan horse to achieve it.
We may not think we're at war with Russia, but Russia is at war with us www.ft.com/content/3c33...
"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK. With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK."
Totally this. The reason billionaires are pumping Reform full of cash has nothing to do with immigrants. They’re salivating over an isolated island outside the ECHR free from workers rights, regulations & protections.
Elon Musk is planning to control the entirety of the UK's electric power. He is currently on a very active blitzkrieg of tweets amplifying UK far right accounts in order to get a base of support - we're talking holocaust deniers, great replacement theorists etc....
2. It doesn't belong to us and, as a result, more than 80% of our oil is exported. We're free to buy it back like any other punter, but it doesn't make us any more energy secure to produce it here. Moreover, we don't get to choose how much we pay for it, and affordability is the real issue here...
🎯
Britain is not a country of racist bigots. Time for the decent majority to "take back control". Repost if you agree.
Dear government. Many of us are not racist. Can you represent us? Cheers. A citizen
Totally this 🎯 What's the point in getting a huge majority if you spend the entirety of your term chasing Farage votes for an election 5 years away? Would have been nice to have some time where we collectively just ignore the entitled prick. So tired of him.
..becoming more & more convinced that Trump was an incredibly useful & disgusting chrysalis
Pakistan has installed 50GW of solar in the last three years. That's as much generation capacity as they built since they became independent in the late 40s. This is energy not tied to the price of oil and insulated from inflation. There is no argument for fossil fuel.

..but what if you can no longer have free & fair elections? (Concerned UK citizen watching with interest/horror as Farage leads the polls over here.. while promising to torch human rights)
Fair point but if you can no longer vote then it's too late.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
I know it’s been said but WOW nothing makes me think someone is more pathetic than obsessing over the flag assigned to the manmade borders you’re born in to. Frightened little rabbit boys, they’re so pathetic x
Alex Phillips - I miss being able to eat normal white bread but thankfully I have salmon soufflé, dainty rainbow salad, keto coconut, langoustines, kedgeree & burrata in pancetta with chive oil to feed my working class pallet.
Reform LTD - Please keep tying yourself to Trump. It really is not going to be something you're proud of over the next 3 years. 👍
Also, undermining & weakening the UK at every opportunity while being held up as a true patriot by huge swathes of the population is a masterclass in treachery. He'll be studied for decades to come (if academia still exists post Farage govt.)
The congress pantomime will clearly go viral & Farage will receive an initial boost...but over the next three years, the UK will be side-eying Vance & his billionaire chums setting fire to healthcare/social services/workers rights/protest & thinking 'nah fuck that'.
The people who want you to put down the sourdough because liking nice bread makes you a posh woke lib are trying to make you fight battles over aesthetics so they can win the war for power unopposed.
I have a creeping hope that Farage tying himself to Trump/Vance/Musk in US congress this week while undermining UK democracy for clicks & cash might end up coming back to haunt him
So true. The con-artistry Farage is capable of with regard to getting ordinary people to vote to make their lives shitter while enriching his uber wealthy chums is almost commendable. He's incredibly good at it.
A little update on the only country to ever leave the ECHR. Let's see what we could win 👀 bsky.app/profile/d-mo...
'The authorities cracked down on all forms of public criticism & abused the justice system to penalise peaceful dissent. The suppression of independent media & civil society organisations escalated. Torture & other ill-treatment were endemic & impunity prevailed.' www.amnesty.org/en/location/...
The reason billionaire elites, big oil, disaster capitalist bankers & US private healthcare sharks are pumping Reform full of cash has precisely fuck all to do with immigration. They're salivating over 69 million people stripped of all rights & protections. bsky.app/profile/d-mo...
The fact that 'stop the boats' folk still think Farage is worthy of their attention will never cease to amaze me. They should be chasing him round with flaming pitchforks.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians “The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy” eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/jus...
Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk: As Madam Chairwoman and I were heading to this location, we received information and recommendations from security to cancel the conference or move it somewhere else, because Belarusian soldiers with long guns had appeared there.
The fact that we’re even debating joining Russia outside the ECHR & handing full control of our rights to someone as dangerous as Farage proves the UK has lost it’s fkn mind.
“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏
Did the BBC let it’s readers know that ‘our oil’ is then sold on the global market at the going rate, which we then have to buy & will not make their bills any cheaper? Thought not.
Farage - ‘knighted’ by a Russian child on state funded tv directly after Brexit then proved so proficient at spouting Kremlin propaganda they offered him his own show. So, Russia, our enemy, who’s mo is the destabilisation of western democracy ..was openly up for funding him. He’s dangerous.
“What a traitorous piece of shit Farage is” See also: agitating and campaigning for Brexit. Farridge is a liar and a self-serving traitor who betrays the UK and sells out the British people on a daily - no, hourly - basis. bsky.app/profile/13sa...
The enemy within. The Brexit arsonist who broke Britain for personal gain and wealth. A snake oil spiv, not a patriot but a real danger to the people of Britain. His close connections to Russia and the Heritage Foundation Project 2025, the authoritarian regime wrecking USA, should alarm everyone.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
That fact that we’re even talking about joining Russia outside the ECHR proves that this country has gone absolutely fucking mad.
Is he dead?
That fact that we’re even talking about joining Russia outside the ECHR proves that this country has gone absolutely fucking mad.
‘The leader of Warwickshire council, an authority with a £2bn budget, is George Finch, a 19-year-old who still lives at home and cannot drive.’ www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...
I mean, he was literally knighted by a Russian child on RT directly after Brexit, then got offered a Kremlin funded job due to his credentials in spouting Russian propaganda. You don't exactly have to be a detective to work it out. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09...
I wonder about this in the same way I wonder why Biden didn't get Trump locked up for insurrection. ..yet here we are.
