Today's @mrjamesob.bsky.social column in @theipaper.com cites @britishfuture.bsky.social research on how the public, esp migration sceptics, remains unaware of the massive drop in net migration – and how this is exploited by anti-immigration voices. inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. You’re only diminishing yourself with comments like this.

How the hell have journalists allowed Farage and Yusuf to pretend that their Royal Navy idea is a ‘humanitarian’ mission if ‘innocent’ immigrants are taken back to France, but a full-scale war-like ‘invasion’ of ‘illegals’ if coming our way? I mean, seriously. Please don’t be this hopeless…
Nigel Farage taking time out from campaigning against a bin to claim a Reform government would land Royal Navy boats on French beaches without French consent.
He is the Walrus-played by Mr. Stavely in the 1898 stage production of Alice in Wonderland at the Opera Comique, London. The Oyster was played by either Miss Beaden or Miss De Becker. Hard to tell really.

Stop listening to Reform’s desperate BS 💩 announcements designed to cause outrage and ragebait for stupid people. The Navy cannot do this. Quite obviously.
Sorry but unless you, as a media outlet, have managed to get someone from the Navy (probably a former sailor because those currently serving maybe disbarred from commenting) to explain that this is extremely unlikely to happen for legal reasons, then, arguably, you haven't really done your job.
“Journalist“ Rod Liddle, has died. We shall remember his contribution to society: incitement of hatred, defense of wife beating, defense of paedophilia. I was always taught to only say good of the dead. So he’s dead? Good.
"[Byline] revealed that Cottrell entered corporate finance under a false Swiss identity, hired by the same City network that produced Reform UK’s own treasurer, Mehrtash A’zami. "Byline Times has since confirmed that this identity was stolen from a real person – Cottrell’s old school friend."

If #Reform and #Restore merge as parties, there is unlikely to be any purge of extremist Restore members. That means that #Farage will be leading a party full of very well documented Neo Nazis, White Supremacists, and actual Right Wing #Terrorists (UK Ijtima, Suffolk)
According to Luke Tryl on Radio 4 disillusioned Reform voters think Farage is “just the same as the rest” on the corruption front. But he isn’t is he? He’s exponentially worse. And his grifter tendency has been obvious for a very long time.

Rupert Lowe pitches a deal from Restore to Farage's Reform. His conditions are full adoption of Restore's policies on mass deportations" including "millions must go" slogan on legal migrants + his policies on Islam + a referendum on death penalty + the ditching of Rupert Jenrick & Suella Braverman
I can’t believe that Reform UK turned out to be financed by a bunch of money laundering fronts for Russia. It’s just so unexpected.
“There may never be a moment when we're 'out of the woods'. We have to accept that fascism is a cold sore. It never goes away. It just waits for our political immune system to weaken. So, this may not be a battle that ever ends. That was our mistake in recent decades. We thought the fight was done.”
