Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.
These people are racist thugs, pure and simple. If the Government doesn't tackle them head on - including at the Lobby briefing tomorrow - ministers will be heading beyond redemption

Or we might ask if the television, platforming people such as that retired teacher with the lifesize Farage cutout, and letting Rylan broadcast lies to this exact demographic, is to blame.
It just seems to be a fixed feature of media culture that newsdesks + subs can do "protests anticipated" & "protests continue/swell" but will never put "protests shrink" even when they do So there is a chasm between the framing/headlines & the live reporting of smaller protests than before

Since I have A PILE OF WORK to do, take this as a standing reply: There is a pro-EU contingent in the UK for whom anything other than "REJOIN NOW" is unpalatable. As I've said many times, it is an honourable position and useful, as it opens up the debate. It's the strategy that delivered Brexit. 1/
This is factually wrong. This is not what the govt argued @skynewsrss.bsky.social and this could also be seen as incitement.
What's this? More support for Grangemouth, something many people still scream isn't happening! This time another round of skills training in areas like renewable energy & turbine engineering to support those affected by the closure of the refinery. Similar schemes also run in Port Talbot. 1/2

UK Govt officials say that since the start of this Parliament, the Government has introduced 46 Bills. 24 have already got Royal Assent, with several more reaching the end of their parliamentary stages. The Government has apparently introduced (on average) a Bill every 4 Parliamentary sitting days.
He caused havoc with Brexit. Don’t let him do it again - here’s five red flags about what Farage said today. Hit share to show him we see through him.
The wounds are still there and festering, to reopen implies healing, nah it never happened.
It's just not journalism, that requires a desire to represent the truth. This is so far from journalism.
A grand jury has rejected federal prosecutors' attempts to indict Sean Dunn, the man accused of throwing a Subway sandwich at a CBP officer. This comes after three OTHER failed attempts to indict another person accused of assaulting a federal agent. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Why is he being asked about something that he knows nothing about TV is a vacuum, it demands content and will such in any old shyte.
This is part stupidity, but also shows exactly what Richard Tice and Reform think about women and girls. Imagine wanted to established diplomatic relations with the Taliban.
What Farage really means is he wants to prioritise rights for white British citizens
🚨 NEW: Cabinet Office Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds says it is “misleading” that leaving the ECHR would solve migration He says it would mean “joining Belarus and Russia” He says “international cooperation is critical” and leaving the ECHR would make it “significantly harder” to stop small boats
"Journalist" is doing some really heavy lifting. Person, with an ill informed opinion that she loves to share is closer to the truth.
💥 Nick Thomas-Symonds: "Nigel Farage will take a sledge hammer to any progress we make. And that is purposeful. Because, apart from his pension package, he cannot bring himself to have any relationship with the EU. Nigel Farage wants Britain to fail. His model of politics depends on it." 💥

Rat joins stinking ship.
Reform isn’t a political party. It’s a corporate lobbying firm. The business model is simple. Wealthy elites pay Farage to push policies that could make them millions. 4 infuriating examples:
Bit like BBC News journalists who can't be arsed to do any research or analysis of event and consider their opinions as being "the story."
The regulator's just announced its Price Cap will rise 2% for the 1 Oct to 31 Dec. If you're on it, ditch it! You can save up to 17% by fixing, see www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheapenergyc.... Lower users will be hardest hit by this, due to the increase in the moral hazard that are standing charges.

A government getting on and doing what it promised. The New Home Accelerator Scheme aimed to unblock new homes stuck in planning or which had failed to make progress in being built. It has done just that with 100,000 in the first 12 months. And the next 6 sites/12k homes are already identified!
Jane (Cooper, RenewableUK deputy CEO) was given just 28 seconds. Kathryn Porter, an oil and gas industry shill, was given 51 seconds. Then they Behan interviewing Richard Tice and I turned the radio off (BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend on Sunday)
This was Labour’s response .. and it’s excellent! Doesn’t parrot anything from Farage.. unlike the Guardian which seems keen to quote him in full.. giving him exactly the exposure he wants !
1. But it was criticism. 2.Ellie Reeves MP has responded for Labour, I don't know why journalists don't name her. 3. A bloody good read. I'm doing the garden, have a great day.
The immigration debate is going badly off track, thanks to a combination of opportunism, racism and spinelessness in the UK's political and media class. But it's not too late to turn things round. Me in Time magazine time.com/7312223/uk-i...
Removing people who have no right to be here? If you cannot see that's different totally from what Farage is saying debate is futile.
Our media has been a disgrace over this, hanging on Farages every word, giving him prime time media coverage and huge publicity. He has 4 MPs, when did the Greens ever get this level of coverage, let alone the libdems The PM was right to give this horrible man the short shift he deserves
David its just not true. Jessica has form here. Other journalists heard clear criticism, maybe she was at a different briefing?
bsky.app/profile/josi... Joseph is good, doesn't make stuff up to fit his "followers".
"Starmer’s official spokesman, said it showed Farage’s entire immigration plan was “not serious”. That is criticism it may not satisfy you but I was commenting on the point. What aboutism is fine but changes nothing.
"No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today." They did, the fact that their criticism did not satisfy you does not change the fact that they criticised it. Your last point is fanciful.
*"Farage’s entire immigration plan was “not serious”."* It's in the text above.
Agreed but I was addressing the point that that there was no criticism of Farage’s "back of a fag packet plan". There was clear criticism, it won't work.
bsky.app/profile/geor... Yep.
bsky.app/profile/geor... His spokesperson spoke out clearly and Jessica if you were generous wasn't in the room. If less generous is telling people things that aren't true.
bsky.app/profile/geor... David its just not true. Jessica has form here. Other journalists heard clear criticism, maybe she was at a different briefing?
Respect.
Or an adult when confronted with a fag packet plan. It's dismissive.
bsky.app/profile/geor... Also
Some in the media, Jessica seems to have issues?
And not true. Starmer’s official spokesman, said it showed Farage’s entire immigration plan was “not serious”. He said: “Let’s be clear, the ECHR underpins key international agreements on security and immigration, and the Good Friday Agreement." Huffpost.

"Starmer’s official spokesman, said it showed Farage’s entire immigration plan was “not serious”. He said: “Let’s be clear, the ECHR underpins key international agreements on security and immigration, and the Good Friday Agreement." In the Huffpost, I thinkJessica was at the wrong briefing?
To paraphrase, " they can't even agree on a name!"
Absolutely what will happen! Be warned.
"Starmer’s official spokesman, said it showed Farage’s entire immigration plan was “not serious”. He said: “Let’s be clear, the ECHR underpins key international agreements on security and immigration, and the Good Friday Agreement." Huffpost. Are you sure that you were at the right briefing?
This is dangerous disinformation. Or another journalist is lying.
"We won't allow a repeat of that. That's why we're focused on ramping up returns." No10 also said anyone proposing renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement - which protects peace in Northern Ireland - is “not serious”. *Did you miss this bit where "the Number 10 spokesperson dis criticise Farage?*
The spokesman told reporters the plans are “simply a repeat of policies pursued in previous years that left the asylum system paralysed, that left no one being returned, but left 400 hotels being opend at the cost of £9million a day to the taxpayer. 2/3
Lizzy Buchan Daily Mirror. Starmer's spokesman has accused Reform of serving up the same botched asylum strategy as the Tories that left the system in chaos. 1/3
Q at Lobby: "Nigel Farage says that Britain is on the brink of major civil disorder. Does the PM think that's the case?" "No" "What the PM is focused on is dealing with the concerns people have. People understandably have felt like they their living standards have stagnated over the last 15 years"
Plaid Cymru supports net-zero. It once pledged to make Wales fully renewable by 2035. It wants to support Welsh farmers. So obviously, it’s opposing solar projects that could power 174,000 homes and provide a lifeline to Anglesey farmers. My latest NIMBY Watch, for @capx.co:
Reporter: You claim to support "Judeo-Christian values" but Christian leaders are against your policies. Farage: Christian leaders are "out of touch".
If you really want to protect birds and small mammals, ban domestic cats.
I'm sure that the BBC and Sky journalists who took this live pinned him to the floor with well researched questions that analyse his plans? Nah, sorry who am I kidding?
