Mick Lynch went on Question Time once and destroyed the Conservatives, he was never invited on again.

Nigel Farage has been on 38 times, but has never impressed anybody.

NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?

This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown

Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it?

No, Nigel Farage.
We emphatically do not talk about this at home.
You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate.
Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.

Jill in the village shop was surprised this morning by a tatty & smelly old vagrant begging as she unlocked her premises. She noticed the stains on his trousers & gummy dirt on his lips.
‘Got any lubricants Missus?’ he asked plaintively.
Here’s a photo of him:
Any idea who he is?🥺

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland.

The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

For all Labours faults, they are getting a hammering from social media and Elon is really ramping it up..whatever is the problem, people seem happy for foreign interference in UK policy when it suits and it’s so hypocritical

As Nigel Farage tells Ukraine to give up all hopes of resisting Russia's illegal invasion, here's a reminder of where his real loyalties lie

Nigel Farage's Admiration for Putin and 'Concern' for Russian Oligarchs Exposes His Fake Patriotism
The truth is Farage has only shown loyalty to one country in recent years, and it isn't Britain.

● Jaguar Land Rover adds £10bn annually to the UK economy

● Employs 11,000 people in the UK

● Creates thousands more jobs in supply chain reliant on it

● And Grandad Nigel wants them to go bust because he doesn't like the ads.

Why do YOU think he doesn't like them?
The great patriot doesn’t like the new Jaguar advert, so he hopes they go bust. What a horrid man.

Popped over to the other side and wow.. lots of very angry posts and major conspiracy theories abound.. no debate, just dog whistle nonsense, whilst ignoring hypocrisy. Nice to come here for a sense of calm and realism!

Jeremy Clarkson, who owes his fame & fortune in large part to the BBC, sneers at the brilliant @vicderbyshire.bsky.social for being ‘classic BBC’ when she uses *his own words* to describe his position.
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.
