Sorry, I should have said Show Racism the Red Card.

Ah, I see that Give Racism the Red Card thinks his comments were inadvertently racist. Really, GRRC?

Thank you so much, Raphael, for pushing back and letting us know the BBC’s response with context. Let’s hope in future they are more diligent about truth and lies where White House statements are concerned.

Regarding Jim Ratcliffe’s comments, racism is unacceptable full stop.

The International Auschwitz Committee is calling for a ban on Germany’s Far Right AfD, Der Spiegel reports.

Eva Umlauf, an Auschwitz survivor and the committee’s President, said the AfD attacks democracy and uses Nazi-era references that are unbearable for Holocaust survivors.

β€œWe want to make Europe as strong as possible and that means not putting up the drawbridge”
Didn’t Brexit detonate that drawbridge?
Great if you want to rebuild it though. Not that great if your red lines mean your pace is glacially slow and has Farage standing by with more explosives.

β€˜Jim Ratcliffe has moved to Monaco to save Β£4 billion worth of tax in this country one might question whether he is the patriot we need to comment on this issue'

February 12, 2026 at 8:07 AM
I should bloody well think so. Dreadful, racist comment from a wealthy man who promoted a destructive Brexit then high-tailed it to a foreign tax haven. Some patriot!

Well this is encouraging from Labour. Now follow it up with action and pronto, please.
🚨 Brufatto, Director of Policy at Best for Britain:

β€œThis is the most significant intervention from the UK government on the prospect of aligning our service sectors with the EU, going beyond just goods. The Chancellor is right to say that β€œthe biggest prize” is a comprehensive deal with the EU."
Chancellor says β€œthe biggest prize” is a trade deal with the EU
Rachel Reeves is correct to argue a trade deal with the EU is "the biggest prize", as campaigners welcome the Chancellor

Would be good if the Prime Minister and/or Home Secretary would for once come out and describe this as the unadulterated racism and xenophobia it so clearly is.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - β€œoverthrowing May right now” and in β€œLondon with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Nigel Farage has just moved his company address to...Mayfair. As Private Eye notes, nothing says 'man of the people' like it.

(The office appears to belong, through a complex web, to Reform treasurer Nick Candy's firm)

It's easy to miss the good work the Labour government is doing at the moment.

I spent 4 years as a hospital inspector and 5 years in NHS patient experience, so I know this is an important change that will make a massive difference to families of children with cancer.

The government sets aside Β£10 million a year to help families and young people under 24 access cancer treatment.

The govt is refusing to commit to an inquiry into the MOD's contracts with US-based spy tech giant Palantir despite the web of shady connections between Mandelson, Epstein, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel - this absolutely stinks.

So glad to see George Cottrell being named in parliament yesterday. He was Farage’s head of fundraising when he convicted of an offence related to money laundering & is still close to & funding Farage. Crypto is an urgent democratic threat to the UK
I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.

Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

Nigel Farage has just called for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

They’ll be suggesting we send kids up chimneys next

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.

We are so much better than that.

DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM
