If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#ComradeFarage refuses calls for a probe into Reform to see how far the Russian rot go..

Yet Farage is so quick to call for investigations into Rayner, Starmer/Rape gangs (just brown ones obvs) etc but not into corruption/treason by Reform❗️🤔

Farage says he will not carry out a wider investigation after last week’s sentencing of former Reform UK leader in Wales, Nathan Gill

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

England's bathing water results are out! I've mapped them here:

Defra says it's an improvement but I'm not so sure. A few thoughts here about what the results don't tell you:

England’s bathing water results are out, but do they tell the full story? - Watershed Investigations
The Environment Agency has released England’s latest bathing water classifications and Defra is calling the results a success, but the testing regime masks a host of potential problems.

I was listening to your excellent lecture on BBC Radio 4 this morning and my kids will be listening to it this evening. The fact the BBC sensored that line is perfect. I hope their cowardice has a Streisand effect because everyone should listen to your lecture.

Times headline: ‘BBC failing to tackle systemic bias, says author of leaked memo’. In fact, when asked by MPs, this man, Michael Prescott, said he didn’t believe the BBC was institutionally biased. The Times failed to quote that, in an article about the issue of truthful reporting.

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"

The chalk stream amendment 38 of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill just got voted down in the HoL, and 40 ( protected species) was withdrawn.
I can’t tell you how truly devastating this is for nature in our country, on land and in our waterways

There isn’t a word to describe how disgusted I am.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.

1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.

2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.

3. Russia pays everyone for everything.

4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Farage told ITV he had never made racist comments in a “hurtful or insulting way” or with “intent”.

What a load of old bollocks.
Let’s just take this for what it is, an admission of guilt for being a racist and a bully.
