Well colour me shocked and fetch me the smelling salts 🙄

#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❗️🤔
Labour condemns Nigel Farage after he ducks calls for probe into potential Reform UK links to Russia – UK politics live
Farage says he will not carry out a wider investigation after last week’s sentencing of former Reform UK leader in Wales, Nathan Gill

Like everything BOJO touched. Even his beloved Brexit was a shambles built on lies and for which he didn’t do any work to prepare for such a fundamental change. And look at the disaster it has become. He is nothing but a spoilt little rich boy with no values other than self promotion.

Dunno about you but I can live happily without hourly BBC updates on prisoners released in error

There’s tens of thousands of criminals with live arrest warrants at large across UK that haven’t been caught yet..

BBC aren’t interested in those.. because they don’t know how many are migrants 🤷🏼‍♂️
Two prisoners still at large after being freed by mistake in 2024
Two others are still missing after being released in error in June this year.

People have long argued that Brexit - mainly engineered by Cummings and Farage/Bannon - was actually a racist project, and little to do with sovereignty

I think the current configuration of Cummings/Farage/Bannon has proved them right.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

You will hear the same story time and again in countries all over the world.

People graduating University and there are no jobs except minimum wage.

Soon there won't even be those jobs.

Stop blaming lazy people, start blaming greedy billionaires.

The whiter the area the more likely it is to have a Reform problem. Immigration isn’t the problem, otherwise you’d get Reform in more diverse areas - it’s fear of change among older people.

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space…

…with widely-held public opinions…

…tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.

Katie Lam, the shadow home secretary saying legal migrants need to be deported (The Times) will be seen by many as the most racist comment we’ve heard in recent years. Why this isn’t headline news is scandalous. Which will translate to many as acceptance and agreement. Britain needs to get a grip.

" @greenparty.org.uk have hurtled past 130,000, eclipsing number of Conservative members. One poll already puts them on 15%, more than double last year’s 6.2% & tied with Labour. To call that a political phenomenon is not hyperbole."
