Robert Jenrick tells Times Radio Nigel Farage wasn't part of the donations scandal as he just had lunch. He said: "You can't criticise a leader for saying thank you over lunch to someone. I know a lot of slings and arrows are thrown at Nigel Farage, but being polite is not a crime these days"

Farage below Polanski? Oh wow he is *fucked*

If a zombie apocalypse broke out at the Reform party conference, how would anyone tell?

They are also stopping road traffic - we are told that this is a serious act of "terrorism", entailing long prison sentences, when done for environmental reasons?

William Hayes@williamhayes.bsky.social · 14h ago

So if you protest a genocide you are automatically a "terrorist" but hold up a major shipping route while wearing balaclavas and you are a "protester" and the police "engage with you"? www.bbc.com/news/article...

hey Burnham, Miliband, you’re participating in this. Do something. Now.

Nigel Farage is never going to become Prime Minister

Responding to mass intimidation by masked fascists by saying “of course you have a point but we’ve already done everything you said you wanted” is just so Labour Party

I’m old enough to remember being arrested at Dover for standing on the pavement holding a banner decrying live animal exports. I was held in custody until hone midnight to ensure I had max difficulty getting home to Brighton. The Police always back the scum in our society and crush dissent.

Disgusting scenes in Dover this morning as masked 'Patriot Platform' bigoted thugs block the entrance and exit to the port. Police are in attendance and observing for now.

Fascist paramilitaries in #Dover #UK this morning in a highly organised action designed to test their ability to mobilise, raise their profile and push the boundaries of what they can or, rather, what the UK Government will let them get away with.

Now is not the time to step out of Reform's shadow. That time was two years ago, but instead Starmer decided to magnify Reform, support their narratives and boost their agenda. If he had taken them on rather than accept their ideas, we would be in a very different situation. He would still be PM.
