The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

Farage would hate it if anybody were to repost this.
"'Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’ with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away."

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Yesterday in Parliament I said that the government should leave X.
🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?

Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

Your regular reminder that the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg doctored an interview with Jeremy Corbyn with the intention of misleading viewers and after she got caught out, she got promoted.

There is money to be made from mass deportations and talking about mass deportations.

Violent mobs are intimidating communities across the region – waving flags, harassing women, and beating a man almost unconscious. Police, councils and government all look the other way. When did fear become policy?

The Reform leader is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster.

1) Pochin said something racist
2) Farage says it’s not racist
3) Racist people now say the same racist thing and can say it’s not racist.

You see how this works? What’s the next racist thing that won’t be racist?

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!
