So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win.
With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The best way to demolish reform is to remind everyone what the Farage has bought us: Brexit busting Britain, lies, corruption, greed, and meanness. Is this a country you want to have like this?

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Farage is unfit to misrule and far too suggestible to others ideas

How long until Trump sues him for breach of copyright?

Tonight on BBC Question Time it's great to see in Dover @zackpolanski.bsky.social has the chance to counter Reform and Labour's hurt and harm!

Nigel Farage is unfit to misrule and leads a party peddling hate and division.

Any cider from that lot of bad apples ain't going to pass muster here in Somerset or anywhere else for that matter!
