“That Brexit has made control of immigration more difficult, damaged our economy and weakened opportunities for future generations should make people think twice before putting Brexit's chief proponent in charge of running the country”

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy
The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Dear Labour - there is not enough red meat you can throw a Reform voter to get them to vote for you. Stop bloody trying as you aren’t getting them on side but are losing everyone else! How the hell can we all see this but not you!?

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics.
This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Jonathan Joss was murdered in a homophobic hate crime during pride month in Texas.

Read this carefully, because this is what the far right (and nepo baby hate grifters like Fox) want to import here by rolling back the rights of LGBT people.

This is horrifying and enraging in equal measure.

🧵1/ Farage: The Russia Links.

With a pint in one hand and Putin’s dick in the other, Farage has built a legacy on Russian propaganda and a trail of bullshit faker than his tan.

He might be popular, but Ted Bundy was a hit with the ladies and look at how that ended.

Strap in 👇🏼

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat.

And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned."

That's Brexit.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):

"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Reform UK fail to win in 9/9 by-elections yesterday.

They stood in all. They've won only 12 seats in 216 council by-elections since the General Election.

They have just 89 council seats out of 19,000 in the UK

80% of their councillors are from defections, 47% are former Conservatives.

They brought Zelenskyy, a man that’s led Ukraine through invasion with unparalleled honour, to the White House to humiliate and mug him in a despicable premeditated display. Zelenskyy should’ve spat in their fucking faces and walked out. Trump is a Putin shill c**t.

The rise of the AfD, Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Reform, and every other Far Right party isn't 'organic' or a popular reaction.

It is due to unlimited, non stop support from the Far Right Billionaire Media, and the many idiots who will vote for blatant lies.
