Less time imitating Farage in Dover and more time addressing the fact that our food and water supplies are in crisis, please, Andy Burnham.

BBC News reporting on concerns about food security and water security We can all see the food and water crisis unfolding, why isn't our government doing everything possible to protect these two precious resources, our food and water supply?

Or in the UK, reopen the ones that the Tories decimated under the banner of 'austerity'. No nation came out of recession by uneducating the masses.

Are you going to vote for Bro Nigel Farage and his far-right Reform Party UK, or Bro Rupert Lowe and his far-right Restore Party UK?

Ten years after promising 'Singapore on Thames', Brexit has delivered six prime ministers, an 18% slump in business investment, and Nigel Farage fighting a by-election against Count Binface—a man dressed as a rubbish bin. Truly, British diplomacy is operating at its absolute peak. 🗑️

Morning all Just #R4Today starting their news headlines with what Deform UK would do with Channel Crossing boats 🤔 Any mention of what Labour, Tories, LibDems or Greens are proposing? They have 8 MPs FFS - starve the racists of oxygen of publicity unless you analyse all parties. Yusef is all waffle

This👇. If you live in Clacton, vote Count Binface. He would definitely be an improvement on Nigel Farage who is rarely, if ever, seen in Clacton or, for that matter, in parliament. Farage, however, has increased his own net worth with all the monetary ‘gifts’ he has collected.

The funniest - and least discussed - aspect of this is that Farage, having reportedly told RefUK he'd only lead them if compensated for the £1m a year income he had outside politics, pocketed their five million, then kept earning from outside interests at the same rate anyway. He scammed even them.

According to #R4today headlines Tories promising to scrap police commissioners they introduced 15years ago What a waste of time & money that was Do hope BBC will be drilling into why the that project failed

Nigel Farage admitting Brexit has failed whilst blaming independent institutions like the OBR proves he was always a heckler, not a leader. Blaming external scapegoats for cold, hard economic reality is classic grift. How much longer will voters tolerate this total lack of accountability? 🇬🇧

This is clearly supposed to be parody, but I firmly believe it's the actual truth! 🙄 Anyone else old enough to remember when #Labour actually cared?? #Burnham is little different to #Starmer & Labour are little different to the #Tories. They're #RightWing neoliberals.

My 43 years experience in education affirms this is largely true: “Homeschooling is trickle-down stupidity.” - Jennifer Welch

We are committed "Paulo Freire" deschoolers and our children include one doctor of law, one medical doctor and another with a masters in migration studies. My 50 years of experience of school is it is an institution that largely fails to deliver education! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_F...

Today university fees rise again, while thousands of academics across the country face job cuts, crushing workloads and shattered morale. Students deserve better than this broken system of unfair repayment that widens inequality. Abolish fees and fund universities properly!

Farage wants us all to believe the political establishment has it in for him. The reality is the political establishment now recognises — in his much too overt greed — he’s showing them all up and has to be jettisoned.

And trust the UK to lead the way again after Andrew, Mandelson and Starmer! 🇬🇧

to all the farage and reform fanboys crying today Manchester Elections

​Nothing says 'working-class revolt against the corrupt elite' quite like a £5m personal gift from a billionaire and $2m funneled via 'Posh George' in Montenegro. Nigel Farage’s anti-establishment crusade is remarkably well-funded by the establishment. ☕️ #ReformUK

The tangled financial web at the heart of Reform UK

Nigel Farage’s £5m gift, the Cottrell family’s links and donations, and Richard Tice’s business dealings form part of an increasingly clear nexus of relationships

theguardian.com

And I thought that Reform were pro-business. Or is it only businessmen like Richard Tice and Arron Banks?

Oh, just seen the best take yet. The mayoral win for Labour shows they were wrong to dump Starmer. Apparently.

Brexit Broadcasting Corporation is still Farage orientated they are totally negative with extreme right wing interviews with people so negative about the UK its like listening to the crap circulating in the US by GoP about anything even slightly left wing being communist. BBC is talking the UK down.

Reform failing to win in Manchester was good news Farage losing in Clacton would be the icing on the cake fingers crossed

Surely this morning we should be seeing BBC’s Chris Mason & Laura Krudberg calling for Kemi Badenoch to be replaced, now the Conservatives cannot even beat Rupert Lowe and his spicy far right in the Manchester mayoral. Get Capt Chris Philip at the helm for goodness sake 🤔

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 5d ago

Conservatives got 41,021 votes, meaning that Restore beat them to fourth place by 8.68% to 7.69%. Really astounding stuff. The UK's traditional right party beaten by explicit far-right ethnonationalists in Britain's third largest city. Views once considered unacceptable & unthinkable are surging.

Kemi Badenoch needs to read this and reconsider her attack on Net Zero.
