Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
NATO has officially invoked Article 4 at Polandโs request following the Russian drone incursion. This is significant.
The government knew about Mandelson's friendship with Epstein before it offered him the role of ambassador to the US. It should never have given him the position inews.co.uk/opinion/this...
The only reason why Putin would send drones into Poland would be that he doesn't believe Donald Trump would ultimately honor America's commitment to NATO and he wants to test that proposition.
MeanwhileโฆSouth Wales giving it Flags! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ @euflagmafia.bsky.social
Weโve all seen the letter from Donald Trump to the vile sex trafficker and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and the handwritten note from Lord Mandelson calling Epstein his โbest palโ. Today I asked the PM what other compromising material the White House might have on the Ambassador.
An American-Israeli sniper, boasting about killing Palestinians and dismissing a young man who tried to recover his brother's body as just another target. He bragged that his unit killed 105 people. It's supported by US fundraising. Yes, the UK and others should ban their return.
The researchers concluded: โThe Lib Dems lose out across every measure, with broadcast presence that does not reflect their electoral support,โ the researchers found. Meanwhile, the Greens win on their coverage per-MP, but lose when compared to the size of their voter base today (around 10%).
More of this please.
Another reason, not that I needed one, for avoiding #r4today
Donโt listen to #r4today very often but just caught Emma Barnet asking whether Linehan would have known officers would be armed. Has he never passed through a UK airport before?? All officers are armed.

Really disturbed today to see, for the first time, not just roundabouts but miles of roads in N. Herts/ S. Cambs with St.G flags on every lamp post. The effect was sinister and threatening. Not remotely a symbol of Britain "coming together" (Yvette Cooper): www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09... 1/4
The Lib-Dems are the largest 3rd party in Parliament for a century, and the 2nd in local government, with more councils than the Tories. Deform UK Ltd have 4 MPs (sic) and less than a third of the councillors. So why is the BBC following Fartrage around like a lost puppy? www.libdems.org.uk/bbc
Immediately cancel the visit of Herzog & withdraw the UK Ambassador from the cesspit that is Israel. Theyโve shown what they think about International Law. #C4News

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one manโs ego.
If you remember one thing today, remember that Greta Thunberg and all the other people on the Flotilla are brave enough to risk death to oppose Israel. Your Politicians wouldn't even speak up because their paychecks would get stopped.
If a Labour government with 400 seats which has nailed its colours to the masts of planning reform and the green transition can't steam roller people like this and their ridiculous selfish BS objections, then what on earth is the point of it?

So either Nigel Farage lied about buying a house in Clacton, when he wanted to pretend he gave a shit about the place, or he lied about it being his girlfriend's house, when he was caught avoiding stamp duty. Either way he's a lying chancer.
Yes. With Rayner gone, businesses spot an opportunity for some frantic lobbying to persuade govt that being able to exploit people is better for the economy than fairer workplaces. Absolutely no thought given to the overall cost and damage done by treating people badly.
So the political journalist who appeared to be Boris Johnsonโs stenographer through Covid was *actually* his co-conspirator who broke lockdown rules with him & then failed to report on the lies he told to cover it up. Iโm shocked I tell you, shocked.

Correct. They canโt change the law. The only avenue open to the police and judiciary is to show how stupid this particular law is by following it to the letter and arresting everybody, clog up the courts, overcrowd the prisons/swamp the Probation service.

Kinda agree but probably difficult to depict government & Parliament as the assailant.

Interesting urgent question today in the Commons from 3:30pm: Stella Creasy MP โ To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on the proscription of Palestine Action and public protest.
@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "Very elderly people.. lawyers, vicars, teachers, nurses.. surely the govt should think.. if this whole range of people are prepared to face a criminal sanction for supporting the right of another org to protest.. perhaps the proscription of PA was a step to far"
@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social is asked about the reshuffle and the deputy leader election in the Labour Party, and he rightly brings it back to what Labour has been doing in govt and the effect of its policies on people.
Reform, Tories & Labour don't really care about the safety of women & girls they just think they are more votes to be won telling lies to promote racism than spending money on nurturing tolerance and catching the actual paedophiles & rapists

BBC News - 'Farage and Tories should apologise to protesters' Sir Ed Davey has called on Nigel Farage and the Conservative Party to apologise to people protesting outside hotels, claiming they caused the problem of small boat arrivals and migrants needing to be housed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Farage has been having trouble with his pronouns - I/she/we. #r4today
Asylum seekers exist because of war and violence. If a country wants to tackle asylum seeking the most important thing it must do is stop supporting war and violence abroad. Astonishing how little this is said nowadays.
Zarah Sultana tells BBC Breakfast local news that wages aren't rising. They are and above inflation. Labour needs to big up its achievements.
Still true. #Zionism #StopIsrael
Yes, Defra becomes the first department with a full complement of ministers to be all female. (Welsh department has been but only has two ministers).

Just realised the guy with old military vehicles outside his house who has flown an English flag for as long as weโve lived here on a massive flagpole in his garden has recently taken it down and replaced it with the flag of Hertfordshire. Comforting to know the proper flag guys know whatโs up atm.
Evolve Politics: Estate agents are legally required to verify the source of funds in property purchases. Nigel Farageโs partner bought the ยฃ900k Clacton home in cash. If Farage is the source of funds, and HMRC prove heโs the true beneficial owner, heโs evaded Stamp Duty. Thatโs tax evasion.
Israeli cunts
Nigel Farage repeatedly misled the public by claiming he bought a house in his constituency. Today he admitted it wasnโt true. Given he's had a lot to say on tax this week, it's time he put the full facts on the table over this housing arrangement. It reeks of double standards and hypocrisy.
Thatโs an interesting observation ๐ณ
Yes, please stop.

@lauraphillips.bsky.social Please can you let us all know why #BBCNews are doing all they can to promote Reform UK Ltd? It seems that itโs every broadcast, whether itโs #R4Today or the bulletins on #R6Music, itโs incessant & so disappointing, the bias is now so overt.

Climate change is here, we need to cut C02 emissions and to adapt. It is reshaping our world and is, perhaps, the greatest challenge we face. climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/...
Nigel Farage says his tax affairs are โnobodyโs businessโ. Oh yes it very much is our business.
The English word 'to travel' and French 'travailler' (to work) are notorious false friends. However, they're real cognates, as they stem from the same word: Old French 'travaillier', which meant "to toil". This verb had a sinister origin: it came from a word meaning "to torture". Here's more: 1/
I wish there was some way of opting out from BBC News. Happy to pay the same licence fee or more, for the other stuff. But not the dumb-as-fuck, oh-what-larks news punditry. It's toxified the whole corporation.
Practically never watch BBC national news or listen to radio news #R4today #wato. Just about tolerate local news. Debating whether to stop paying the licence fee as there are still some decent programmes left but donโt see why I should pay for biased lazy journalists.
โDonโt forget, when Farage was asked which world leader he most admired, his answer was Vladimir Putin. Yes, really.โ
Looks like @bylinetimes.bsky.social is sweeping the field in the only award categories that really matter
The govt donโt need to just challenge Reformโs anti immigration stance but many will say be honest about the desperate need for more migrants. Net migration is lowering, we are an ageing population and have huge job shortages. The countryโs lifeline is immigration. Only 2-3% arrive on boats.
Five years ago, I put a campaign together to oust Johnson- #JohnsonOut I'm not saying we removed him, but he mentioned Twitter in his resignation speech so... Anyway, let's turn our attention to #๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ช๐ฉ Let's do this! Use #๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ช๐ฉ in your posts, let's build some momentum
Britain's rapid decarbonisation of electricity supply is a rare success story here. But virtually nobody talks about it and our shitty newspapers attack #NetZero everyday!
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! Attack Reforms on fire and rehire. Attack Reform on the NHS. Attack Reform on zero hour contracts. Attack Reform on fracking. Attack Reform on net zero. Attack Reform on their support for failed Tory policies. ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK
Right on the nail Bear.
Pensions, productivity and the myth of the migrant โdrainโ โ why Britainโs real crisis is ageing, not immigration. Another cracker from the Bear. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
The shallowness, the banality of his observations, the lack of curiosity about fantasy policies, ignoring the batshit contributions. Basically, a slightly altered Reform press release. All in a day's work for Mason.

It is a terrible TERRIBLE look. Madness.
Thatโs appalling. Wonder if the police are quite comfortable with this. If theyโre human they shouldnโt be.
The media must realise its responsibility here. Itโs very difficult for those without a voice to change the mood music. But there is genuinely a large and silenced majority who loathe Farage and who know he is/would be beyond catastrophic for our country. Iโm talking - dysfunctional collapse.
Come on Labour. Call it out, show some integrity. Otherwise you will be toast come the election.
Right sentiment, but depressing that a Labour MP doesnโt feel able / willing to put their name to it.
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.
So - according to Wikipedia- Ferrari solely bought an *upmarket* detached property in Clacton that she shares with Farage. How often does Farage visit Clacton? How did she fund it?
@mrchrisaddison.bsky.social Great advice from Mr Addison about opting out of the upcoming Gov emergency alerts. Iโd just say that you actually need to search in โnotificationsโ on an iPhone. Simply searching โemergency alertsโ wonโt show it straight away.
Remember the buildup? Remember the hype? Remember the weeks of punting tickets? Behold the reality of the Dear Leader's speech. I've a feeling that the turnout for Deform UK at any GE will follow this pattern.
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?...
