British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

So, Reform Party chair, David Bull (seen here wearing a panty pad of sympathy when Trump got shot on the ear) and anti-vax crank, Dr Malhotra (who thinks the Covid vaccine gave the royals cancer)…
🤡⚠️wrote Reform’s “health policy” together🤡⚠️

How TF is Reform not being laughed out of the door?

🚨 SCOOP: Reform donor in breach of company law

Nigel Farage’s party has taken £50,000 from a company run by property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz — despite the firm failing to file its accounts on time, a criminal offence under the Companies Act.

Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from.

I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR."

It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.

"Give Farage a chance," says Rod Stewart. Disappointing ...given how #Brexit's crippled singer Sir Rod's own music industry, says Vice Chair @jazz072.bsky.social in @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk #MusicIndustry #BrexitImpact #ArtistsForEurope
Veteran singer Sir Rod Stewart said recently: "We've got to give Farage a chance." Here, Vice Chair of Leeds for Europe Jas Olak lists reasons why Reform leader Nigel Farage and his party - formerly called the Brexit Party - should not be given power. Amongst those reasons is the damage that has been done to Sir Rod's own music industry by the Brexit that Nigel Farage called for.

You look at the Tories, Reform and the rightwing press after the Brexit reset and you see just how mad they are. Genuinely frothingly insane.
Desperate to insist that their Brexit moronathon is a win. Spitting with rage at their own failure.

This sums them up…

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.
