The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

"We will always be on the side of working people", Farage's 'Letter to the Nation' says today.
What he neglects to admit is that Reform plans to cut £300+ billion from the public services that these "working people" rely on every day.

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question.
It's a curious paradox.
Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.

‘Are you seriously asking me that?’
@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social refuses to back down while questioning Reform’s Zia Yusuf.

I wonder if the wide mouthed frog will sue, or claim these comments weren't meant in a hurtful way. I suspect the latter. No way will he risk a court appearance.
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

If multiple people can remember someone being horribly racist, even by the appalling low bar of the racist 1970s, that is entirely noteworthy.
As an adult Farage fanboyed Enoch Powell - the most infamous racist of the 1960s - and long cited him as his political hero.
And that's noteworthy too.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Yup. The evidence suggests Farage did say racist things in a "hurtful" way...
In 2013, Farage told Michael Crick he was a "troublemaker" who "wound people up". "“I did say things that would offend deeply ... I made arguments against [English teachers], that I didn’t necessarily believe in". He says this was just support for Enoch Powell - in 1981 - not for further right views

There’s no point in beating Labour if the end result is the election of a populist, nationalist, far-right government that will dismantle the UK’s democracy. A strategy of trusting Nigel Farage to do the right thing is about as grounded in realism as believing leaving NATO is how to beat Putin.
Zack Polanski tells the BBC it would be "very tempting" for him to stand in Keir Starmer's seat at the next general election

The Trump family, selling out Ukraine AND the US for personal profit. America First my arse!😡
This should be front page news: Kushner, Witkoff and Dimitriev doing real estate deals in Miami while deciding the fate of Ukraine? This needs to be forensically investigated because it's a massive scandal.

Remember how we kept getting told that a European Army was a REALLY BAD idea?
It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.
Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.
