On Chris Mason, the new enthusiastic Farage fanboy. It’s absolutely irresponsible how the BBC has let him report on that party conference. And let me repeat : The BBC is an important institution and they are getting a lot right, as well. But here they haven’t.
“Do you acknowledge reality?” “No, i don’t.”
Fiona Bruce:" yes....lady in the sequinned jumpuit.." Me: Thank you Fiona...My question to the Right Honourable Herr Fartridge is why is he such a hypocritical, tax avoiding CUNT!!!!!!" I may* not get asked to return... *definitely will
Rayner resigned. Your move Farage.
Nigel Farage dodged Stamp Duty. Time to resign.
Last night, Russia launched one of the largest drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, targeting government buildings and civilian homes alike. Once again, the Kremlin is mocking diplomacy, trampling international law and killing indiscriminately.
I should have added - right now I’m listening to and enjoying @matthew-wright.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk.
“The lion and the unicorn instead of the swastika”
Nigel Farage says his tax affairs are ‘nobody’s business’. Oh yes it very much is our business.
As a BBC correspondent Chris Mason has a duty to report the FACTS without fear and favour, to inform, to offer an impartial overview, not simper and fawn. That is NOT what he has done here. It is not objective. It reads like a promotional pamphlet. He is an absolute disgrace.
Ahhhh The Daily Heil, pushing the country forwards to fascism and exacerbating poverty. Great British Values.
This was behind a pay wall but no longer is
If you vote Reform you will be voting against women’s equality, for more harassment in the workplace and beyond (as if there isn’t enough) Remember 41% of the Farage Foot Soldiers arrested in last summer’s disgraceful riots had already been REPORTED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE
He might do better just to blithely repeat the slogan and pretend he doesn’t understand the nuance - otherwise he will sound like… god forbid… ‘just another politician’
Flood the zones with the truth and start with Brexit?
What do you suggest we do @ottoenglish.bsky.social ? Because we need to get on and do it. The risk of Farage in power is too great, the consequences are unthinkable.
That old chestnut. Farage says he misspoke that he bought home in Clacton purchased by partner
Reform is not some unstoppable political force. It spent the weekend calling Lucy Connolly a "political prisoner", cheering a guy who opposes Covid vaccines & dismissing climate change. Labour should spray these clips across the web. Make Reform fight on this ground. It is eminently beatable.
😭😍
Yet other than a few in the media he gets away with it bsky.app/profile/poli...
Yes, and they are actually delighted in the misery caused to the rest of society. Who knew there were so many obnoxious and / or phycopaths among the population.
It's all well and good to point out the hypocrisy, dishonesty, inconsistency, incompetence, and downright appalling nature of a political party and its leaders. However, when the party's voters simply do not care and indeed find it all rather appealing, it may be time to deploy different tactics.
One of the disordered counterpublics Reform has pulled into its MAGA-style coalition is the anti-vaxx movement. What unites these counterpublics is a deep distrust of anyone outside the in-group who challenges their worldview. If you want an RFK Jr style figure running UK health policy, vote Reform.
BREAKING: Defence Secretary John Healy to Sky’s Trevor Philips this morning A Starmer government will never pull out of the ECHR. We would be the only nation in NATO if so 👏
This (Sun Times) is why the Reform clownshow feels unstoppable… The media knows they’re a lying bunch of loons but insists Farage has “immense political skill” FFS. He just shouts his mouth off and no one (certainly not The Times) holds him to account on anything. That’s not skill. It’s sponsorship.
Journalists questioning Nigel Farage should be pointing out Brexit has been a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings. How hard can this be? youtu.be/cKXFjbxSBBI?...
Good work Zack!
Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:
Israel appears to be destroying high-rise buildings as part of its displacement efforts and aims to conquer Gaza city. Israeli law prof Eliav Lieblich comments: "17 years in the field and I haven't seen a 'state of law' that conducts itself like this. There isn't a millimetre of legality here."
Nigel Farage, MP for Clacton, doesn’t even own a house in the constituency 😉 #AnywhereButClacton Nigel Farage admits he was wrong to say he had bought house in Clacton www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #FarageBullshitWatch
Well said 👏
I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇
Made it back to the hotel without being murdered by migrants #justsayin
If the UK can tow small boats to France, France can tow small boats to the UK. Also it simply won't happen the French won't allow it. Does Farage want to start a war with France over small boats?
Americans will soon be free to regularly catch diseases that have been wiped out in the USA for 70 years or more, and still are wiped out in the rest of the world. Such freedom. They really need to wake up and take the fascist boot off their face.
A political party, that's topping the polls, lauding someone who called for human beings to be burned to death should be a moment for national self-reflection. This is not who we are nor who we should become. Reform UK are a plague on our national humanity. We must never permit them to govern.
This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4
Unwell.
The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
It's clear from today's Reform UK Conference that if they gained an overall majority the UK would in some ways be even worse off than the US under Trump 2.0. Utterly unhinged Call of Cthulu-style stuff. Wouldn't take much for the country to become an autocratic semi-democracy either.
Listening to the 6o clock news and a Chris Mason who can barely hide his enthusiasm for Reform. It’s astonishing.
The Reform party conference has been told that Covid vaccines are the probable cause of cancer for the King and the Princess of Wales The party chose to platform Dr Aseem Malhotra, a prominent ally of RFK Jr in their dangerous maverick campaigns against vaccines www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...
You know what most decent people think, they think we shouldn't be supporting Genocide. It is not a fringe view, it is almost everybody. The only reason it continues is because some people have sold their souls to Israel.
During WW2 Germans were sent to prison or Concentration Camps for providing food to Jews or hiding them to try to stop a Genocide. The UK has a very similar vibe today.
Just one example. But a big one. Farage talks shite. On everything. All the time. People might cheer on his racist fever dream but - you turn that into govt - and it all falls apart. Brexit, the very shitty sequel. Please let’s not be that stupid again.
Bookmark it, hopefully JD Vance will one day be in the Hague and we can use it.
This is quite simply incompatible with any kind of functional government. It is an absolute crisis of our politics and media that Farage and his ship of racist fools are as close as they are to power.
🙏
It really must be clear now, to any decent-minded person, that the primary political activity of the next few years is to destroy this party.
My god.
The Tabloid Witch Hunt of Rayner: This isn’t just about tax. It’s about women being hounded and investigated for years as men who routinely do worse are ignored… I have the receipts to prove it and if the “crimes” aren’t there? Well, they just invent them. youtu.be/bVd2fReoS8Y
Tax affairs are irrelevant Nigel Farage claims as heat builds on his own tax dodging. I guess the Media has no choice but to investigate non-stop now. Do they?
This too should be in the Media non-stop for a week until Nigel Farage is forced to resign.
Sorrywhatpardon?
Ant Middleton is a very overt racist. Middleton is an ally, friend & champion of Nigel Farage but now standing as an Independent for London Mayor because he is much too openly racist for Reform, now openly advocating you should need British-born grandparents to be eligible for leadership roles
Thank you! I was shouting at radio 4 this am: for years the Tories f**ked up, cheated, lied about it, brassed it out for weeks on the media rounds, telling us: “we’ve drawn a line under it & we all need to move on”! Where were our dogged political reporters then? Oh, on Bozo’s WhatsApp group. 🤬
Isn't this exactly what just happened? Have people got mass fkn memory loss? Five years ago an ethics investigation took SEVEN MONTHS, resulted in a finding of several serious breaches, which was then ignored by the PM and resulted in the ethics advisor AND the bullied employee having to resign. 1/
Lucy Connolly, jailed for urging people to set fire to hotels housing refugees, is speaking at the Reform party conference today. All the worst people.
Loved recording my first appearance on Any Questions. If you want to hear @greenparty.org.uk challenge Nigel Farages hypocrisy and call out the Governments participation in Genocide: 1.10pm. Radio 4. Or catch up on BBC sounds! #BBCAQ
True.
Some journos need to understand the difference between ‘revenue’ and ‘investment’. Byline Times runs at a profit on revenue. A lot of the media, including Press Gazette, only functions because some oligarch burns money on them
If people knew how little Stephen Colegrave and I pay ourselves to run a profitable newspaper and remunerate our journalists, they would see how squalid it is to paint us as some kind of offshore media oligarchs But of course, that is what most UK journalists are used to
Whilst I agree, we simply must get labour to do the right thing by US. I don't know how, tho. We've been fighting the bastard Farage since 2016, and like a 🪳 he keeps coming back bolder than ever.
Our media is fuckin disgusting for promoting this rat.
Please no!
“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.
People that use tax avoidance schemes, offshore accounts, divide the people, impoverish the country, and ask dictators to impose sanctions upon us, should not be members of parliament, let alone considered for Prime Minister. It’s called hypocrisy. It’s traitorous. Full stop.
"Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself." inews.co.uk/news/green-p...
"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
Boris Johnson arguing for the sovereignty of Ukraine which wants to join the EU: to grow and be safer and enjoy freedom of movement While weakening the sovereignty of the UK and making us poorer by taking us outside the EU with Brexit
Reform is a magnet for racists without a home, a bin for failed Tory MPs without a future, a crèche for brainwashed children with no clue about anything, and a stage for morons who want to dress up in glittery flags, shouting. It is anything but a serious government in waiting.
Tim Walz: "Where are the don't tread on me people? You are being tread on every single day. These folks are enriching themselves. The most successful thing he's done is grift off the American people."
Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.” Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.
The whole story in three posts.
ask Nigel about #FarageTax Farage put his Clacton house in to his girlfriend Laure's name, avoiding tens of thousands of pounds like Rayner. But he won’t tell you that.
Remember the Reform UK event is almost entirely filled with their millionaire and billionaire donors, their paid staff and council members and supporting celebrities. There isn't a single ordinary person in there.
Apparently, being in any way critical of an idiotic narcissist like Jenkyns turning her conference speech into a karaoke cringefest is why Brexit happened. I feel very ashamed of myself and can only apologise.
You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.
Can we arrest Nigel Farage? It does say in UK law, that a person seeking the Aid of a Foreign Government to undermine the UK Government can be considered Treason. Now he did SPECIFICALLY arrange a meeting with members of a Foreign Government to do exactly such a thing.
Whispers *that's the French flag mate*
Nazi Nigel is reforming the Tories.
Not only am I banned from going inside, the NEC (yeah right) won’t even let us film outside the building….welcome to @nigel_farage 's Free Speech Britain….:)
Rayner says in her resignation letter: "The challenges of government are nothing compared to the challenge of putting food on the table and getting a roof over our head when I brought up kids working as a home help." Absolutely. A shame to lose that perspective from the cabinet table.
Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers
Oh god, he's the worst thing to happen to our country in my lifetime. Even worse than Johnson. So so worrying. 😭
Oh Farage now thinks he can edit history, does he? Turn that into yet another source of conspiracy theory and menacing nationalism. Not happy with just lying about the present, he wants to do it about the past. Have a nation of controllable know-nothings waving flags and hating on foreigners.
Farage tells Reform conference: “We refuse to have our children’s minds poisoned with a twisted interpretation of history.” What I suspect he really means is that he wants children to get taught a bunch of self-affirming lies about the past aka fake history and that's really very dangerous indeed.
Ruling classes hate a working class girl who does good....
In a functioning democracy with a decent press, these would be wall-to-wall headlines: Fury as Farage Urges U.S. to Punish Britain Farage Accused of Undermining UK Sovereignty But no... "The stamp duty receipt that ended Angela Rayner’s career" FML
Jeremy Clarkson, here, who built his career on license fee payers.
UK 30 year gilt yield, down from the breathlessly reported 5.75%, is now 5.51%. Not that you will hear this from all the journalist accounts who were gunning for Reeves all week. Please share.
It’s so unspeakably naff I can’t bear to look. I’m embarrassed for our country that we have this kind of holy show thinking it should have a shot at being in government! FFFFS!! It would be catastrophic beyond words. And so hideously humiliating.
*sound on* This is Andrea Jenkyns's ACTUAL singing entrance to the Reform UK conference. Utter crackpots. And anyone who thinks this kind of idiotic look-at-me amateurs are how this country will "rediscover its pride" needs to have a lie-down.
Calls for Nigel Farage to be hauled before MPs over Reform UK’s ‘assault on free press’
I really really wish we could make this so!
Tax Avoidance costs the UK £200bn a year. Why is Angela Rayner's tax avoidance a massive scandal but Nigel Farage's which is about 10x higher completely ignored. Lets stop all Tax Avoidance.
"We are the patriotic party" says Nigel Farage, who just spent the past few days slagging off his own country to a foreign superpower, while encouraging them to impose sanctions on our economy if we don't do what they say
"It's become clear to all of us that it is a cabinet of wholly unqualified people to run our country" says Reform leader Nigel Farage, whose own leading ministers in waiting include the likes of Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries and Darren Grimes.
Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind in charge of an entire English county, accuses the government of appointing people "with no knowledge" or experience in charge of Government departments
