Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform. A relentless klaxon of failure.
multiculturalism has been a success for the UK. Austerity should be blamed for failing the country. It's not a hard message to communicate
NEW - A punchy Keir Starmer at cabinet condemns the violence at Saturday's march "led by a convicted criminal" saying they had "sent a chill through the spines of people around the country, and particularly many ethnic minority Britons."
Angela Rayner resigned after failed to pay £40,000 in stamp duty. Situation was complicated by her primary residence being a home held in a trust for disabled son, following a divorce Nigel Farage avoids £44k stamp duty by putting home in girlfriend's name. tinyurl.com/3u82b5rr

John Simpson, the brilliant investigative journalist on the Sunday Observer has revealed Tommy Robinson's sponsor - US Tech billionaire Robert Shillman - "former board member of Friends of the Israeli defence forces"...A must-read.
A film was my first thought! Julie Walters, Shirley Collins & Celia Imrie. A hoot!
There are one or two questions about Nigel Farage's tax affairs. Some reports say he deliberately avoided stamp duty, others are less sure. I just wonder whether the truth is being witheld from us. I don't know the answer to that, but it is a fair and legitimate question.
To no-ones surprise at all: Nigel Farage doesn't want to share his tax return - despite Starmer, Reeves and Sunak all having done so. What is he hiding? https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/over-50000-sign-petition-urging-nigel-farage-to-release-tax-returns-397837/
OK, so he wants to sack every civil servant? Everyone sorting out your passport,driving licence, council tax, business rates, border control, HMRC etc & replace them with anti ECHR people. Sound like a credible plan 🤔
Yes, 5 Garridge Farridge. Could catch on 🤣
Yes.
This was Norwich, at the Brook Hotel on Dereham Road. There's been a few demos there recently. I saw this about a week ago on here & it has been briefly in local media. I guess a guy standing up to misinformation & expressions of free speech isn't 'sexy' enough for Sky. I felt sick about it.
This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!
OFCOM should decide whether GBnews is a news channel or not. If yes, it needs to abide by the rules. If not,they change the name and the channel listing moved away from real news channels,next to Dave/UKgold. This is a small thing but viewers assume it is a news channel & take it seriously.
"I once bought a house then remembered that it was actually my girlfriend who had bought it"
Right wing media now lining up to tell Labour to scrap the Employment Rights Bill. Because it’s unthinkable to the rich and powerful that greater respect for their workforce could improve productivity and wellbeing. ‘We can’t afford to not be able to treat you like shit’ isn’t persuasive to me.
Yes! I'm convinced he'll suspend the mid-term elections, citing wartime necessity 🤔
Not only tetchy, he's just proved what I always thought : an aggressive bully and a liar.
Here’s Nigel Farage repeating over and over that he bought a house in Clacton: x.com/AliFortescue... See for yourself if he ‘mis-spoke’. This was recorded on 8th November. His partner’s deeds show 11th November: x.com/nw_nicholas/... That’s not mis-speaking, that’s lying over and over again.
Will the media find out how FaRage’s partner bought an £800k+ house in Frinton in cash? Will they give voters this transparency? In fact why not examine all MPs property purchases over last 5 years. That’s a story I’d like to read.

NEW: If it wasn’t for the few brave, surviving journalists left in Gaza, the ongoing war crimes would be entirely undocumented. Today, local filmmaker Mahmoud Hamda was injured capturing this moment when yet another building was levelled by Israeli forces in Gaza City. Mercifully, he survived.
Ambition? There's a bloke saying the Covid jab gave the king cancer, the singing ejit in the jumpsuit, a weird 'TV doctor', the MP for Dubai, 18 year old council leaders and the millionaire,tax avoiding Brexit guy, happy to deport women back to the clutches the Taliban.
I mean this seems like a legitimate question from @annaturley.bsky.social
JC inherited a fortune & was privately educated. Where do you think he'd be without all that? Probs shouting at asylum hotels.
I have complete confidence that he will be asked about his financial and property doings during his next TV interview (*actually, I don't*)
The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage 25% tax rather than HR
Why would the GF buy it? He already had at least 3 other homes and is very wealthy. Where did she get the money from? French woman coincidentally buying a property in Frinton? When he was critised for having zero links to his constituency? There is much more to this.

Can we convince you to continue your campaign against those who seek to get out of paying stamp duty, @thesun.co.uk? How about you, @telegraphnews.bsky.social? Surely, you're outraged about this, @dailymail.co.uk? Anyone?
Anyone ask him about Farages property portfolio, his stamp duty or his tax arrangements?
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.
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.
Just curious, does this breach the ministerial code? I do hope so.
I have a new prime-time Saturday night TV show pitch.... 'Euro-populist-loon-ovision' All of Europe's Populist parties send their best singer for a sing off. Judges could be the bloke from Dollar and Paul Ross.
"Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties."
Is this a Trump 2 weeks? We all know what that means.
This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well, hopefully an investigative journalist will be trawling his girlfriend's financial affairs to see how she got the money to buy it. Maybe she bought for Nigel because he's such a fantastic guy 🤔
@labourlewis.bsky.social is the MP here.
oops.....I forgot the lying under oath bit!
Surely, this isn't news. However, Farage attempting to get the US to bully the UK into ditching online safety laws, missing parliament (again) to snuggle up to Trump, comparing the UK to North Korea and his dressing down by the US Congress, actually is.
This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely
Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.
If the UK really had a free speech crisis, we wouldn't have Farage et al on the telly/radio/interwebs all the bloody time. 😡
This is GLORIOUS.

Of course we do, Russia bombed EU offices in Ukraine last week too. Putin is emboldened further by Trumps behaviour.
I am AMAZED there are not more people at the very least pointing out that this lightning-fast deterioration in Trump's health, happened only a few days after he had a lovely cup of Polonium tea and a slice of Novichok marble cake, with his best friend from Moscow.

“How’s the hangover?” Me:
What do you expect? You question the motives of the judges in this case, forget the motives of the councils and why they didn't take legal action when the Tories were the Govt. Your reporting has consequences.
One for @quietriotpod.bsky.social & WokeyDokey methinks 🤔
Sick of BBC continuously promoting Reform U.K. and ignoring other parties with far more representation? Please sign the petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
I've been wondering what will happen to the children born in the UK, to mothers waiting in the asylum system. Will the children also be deported to regimes who may execute their parents?
The media want clicks. That's it. Their clicks will go through the roof if he ever becomes PM.
The ever-eloquent @rafaelbehr.bsky.social pointedly refusing to mince his words on what Farage has done for us. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Farage leaving the ECHR would take away YOUR right to ... 🔥 A fair trial 🔥 Fair laws 🔥 Protection from execution 🔥 Protection from discrimination 🔥 Protection from torture 🔥 Protection from slavery 🔥 Freedom of speech 🔥 Freedom of lifestyle 🔥 Freedom to decide if you want or don't want children
No ❌️
None of this is normal. This is a confected 'crisis', in no way warranting these measures.
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
I certainly hope so 😍
Really? No one asked me, or anyone I know. My patience is running thin on right leaning media reporting protests of a few hundred people, like it's Tiananmen Square.

Makes me wonder, if the media don't think this is extreme, what do they consider IS extreme these days?
Just gone back 40 years....tonsillitis, day off school, bit feverish, watching 'Crown Court', swigging Lucozade.....
I have just stumbled upon a new quiz concept - 'Nero or Trump?'.
I feel that we are all being held hostage by Trump & Putin, they play with us like cats when they catch mice.
Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.
Who says romance is dead 🤣
Aww look at Nigel, trying the food of the working classes for the very first time!
Maybe he should go back to his local polytechnic and actually finish his History, Social Sciences and Economics GCSEs. 🤔
Just tuned in 👍
Presumably, his children won't bother with uni & be one of the 1/5? Somehow I doubt it.
Nah, it's more likely Putin will bamboozle Trump and come away with the deeds to Alaska instead. The best deal, the greatest deal, everyone knows it........etc.
My son's monthly uni rent for 1 room in a shared house was higher than his sisters mortgage payment for a 1 bed flat. Landlords (inc uni halls) are taking the pi**. Parents have to top up the rent & feed them too. Otherwise they are working all hours to make up the rest, this impacts on studies.
Lately, Reform UK have claimed that their hostility to migrants stems from an overwhelming desire to keep women safe. But have they been equally concerned when the threat to women comes from someone they see as on "their side"? I took a quick peek at their recent record. ~AA

What's the % in comparison to legal migration? Are you counting summer '24 & '25? We all know more cross during summer months.
She's flailing around, looking for relevance, hoping that Trump will notice her. She's literally got no other 'career path'. The UK has rejected her, her constituants rejected her, Westminster rejected her.
tyrants, butchers, murderers!
Why not ask him to walk around with a reporter? He could wear a bulletproof vest & helmet amoungst the theatregoers and tourists. So Alan Partridge 🤣
Unfortunately, my octogenarian parents are convinced that UK streets are now akin to an episode of Narcos, thanks to GB News & The Mail. They don't get out much these days, neither does Nigel it seems. 🤔
I'm team Icieni, Boudica's folk. Might fire up my chariot later.
Might I encourage you to listen to Parts I & II of Aesop, before the final part is out next week? And maybe to recommend it to someone who you think might enjoy it? He is the most political topic I have tackled, and the most accessible, so a perfect introduction to this podcast.
Poor Windy Miller, what did he do to upset Liz? That woman has no soul.
Poor Windy Miller, what did he ever do to upset Liz.
I ALWAYS wanted one, but being a girl in the 70's I ended up with a shopper bike, complete with basket at the front 🥺
All this bonkers stuff has been building all week. Trump is visiting Scotland this weekend, I think Reform are trying to stoke unrest to show Trump how 'broken' we are. For the record, the only bioling point around here was the kettle when I made a cuppa.
