Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all.
And now Farage could be PM ffs.
Mindblowing self-inflicted idiocy

Far too much gov bashing going on with Mr James O'brien this morning so its off with that and a morning of listening to Sheryl Crow instead. Feeling better already.

"Where Reform has taken over you see complete beginners who are still doing a study as to what county councils are responsible for!"

"Some of the people didn’t even know the council sat in the day so they resigned because they couldn't get time off work."

Nigel Farage says the NHS should be replaced with an insurance-based system like they have in the USA, which would mean crippling medical bills for Brits.

Drop a ❤️ if you love our NHS and want to keep it in public hands.

Obvs “most people” who think UK was better 50 years ago are Telegraph readers who weren’t born, or are senile bigots AKA Reform voters..

Or routinely liked dog shit on their shoes, sitting in pubs (when there was power) in a fog of fag smoke, with the stench of rotting rubbish outside.. what BS❗️🙄
Ah the 1970s.

Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Since BBC Question Time returned from it’s summer break there has been 9 episodes of #BBCQT

A representative/mouthpiece of Reform U.K. has appeared on 5 of them:

Kruger - Nov 13
Goodwin - Oct 30
Dorries - Oct 23
Yusuf - Oct 9
Tice - Sept 25

So there is a clear bias to Reform, with just 5 MPs 🤷‍♂️
Oh look! 👀Surprise, surprise! 🫢
BBC Question Time are once again platforming Reform U.K. , who have just 5 MPs, but couldn’t find room for the Lib Dems with 72 MPs 😳
#LibDems

Yes there is a bias on some BBC political programmes and it’s quite clearly a Reform / right wing bias!

Oh @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I feel this is going to be another hour this week which I am going to be screaming at you for jumping on the media bandwagon rather than listening to what we have heard the Chancellor and PM publicly say.

Which has NEVER had them saying ANYTHING about income tax rises.

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

From @ericidle.bsky.social & Neil Innes' brilliant & criminally overlooked/unavailable RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION, here's a truncated glimpse of George Harrison's Christmas 1975 guest appearance runner, where he didn't want to perform a song - He really just wanted to play a pirate...

The Prime Minister must pick up the phone now to Donald Trump. We have 24 hours to stop Trump’s billion-dollar raid on British licence fee payers.

We’ve written to the PM, calling on him to demand that Trump drop his ludicrous $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC.

If Farage had his way he'd remove free at the point of use for the NHS and kill off the BBC. He's a nasty piece of work.
