Left of centre. 'Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave' Quentin Crisp. No DMs without mutual agreement. 💙📚💙🚵‍♂️

Joshua Bonehill-Paine the ex neo-Nazi activist given a second chance by Kemi Badenoch is a perfect example of how bent UK media is. Imagine the rage if a party of the left had done this. Mail/GB News would make if hay if Burnham/Polanski had done this. Chris Mason et al bleating questions to answer

Labour "looking into" a public inquiry into the UK activities of Jeffrey Epstein. This isn't only the right thing to do but it's smart politics/ communications as well.

Kemi Badenoch pretending to be a police officer. The Telegraph pretending to be a serious newspaper. Imagine being stupid enough to pay £4 for this nonsense or fall for Badenoughs policy free PR propaganda. Radio4 Today will read it out no doubt, with lavish lip smacking gusto.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

The people praising Rod Liddle tells you everything you need to know about him. The right-wing shill media is poisonous from top to bottom. How many of those defending him now are only doing it for money and attention. The only things they really believe in.

Restore and Reform Ltd merging is just trying market a failing product. A rebrand. Even if you are a knuckle dragging racist who fills a empty head with hate and pretend superiority to other races it's all dull. Farage et al other than a few gestures and phrases are devoid of anything satisfying.

British media. I know most presenters are wealthy and living in a cosy media bubble. The people I know aren't concerned about small boats or empty promises made by Reform Ltd or five house Farage. Cost of living and the climate crisis are our main concerns.

The only support I've heard for this clown was from a desperate shill on GB News hoping for a little kick back or job offer. His entire career and the right-wing ecosystem is based on bribery/favours. Send him off.

Football's version of Trump.

Hard left is anyone who believes workers have rights for this oligarch owned rag. Boshoff must have friends somewhere. Third outing in as many days. Not a world exclusive however. Tomorrow's Boshoff story... water is wet.

Oligarch owned hate rag.

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

Nigel Farage struck Reform comeback deal long before election
Supervised by the convicted fraudster George Cottrell, the agreement undermines Farage's claim about when he decided to return to politics

Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as leader of Reform UK months before the general election.
Farage negotiated the pact with Richard Tice, then the leader, in March and April 2024. George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who had been secretly bankrolling Farage, supervised the discussions.
Under the terms of the deal, once Farage became leader Reform would repay or write off more than £1 million in outstanding loans it had received from Tice's company.
The deal was first presented by Farage and Cottrell to the party's treasurer in mid-May. Its existence undermines the Reform leader's claim that he had no intention until June 2024 of returning to politics. Farage has used this to defend his failure to declare donations made to him in the year before he was elected as an MP, which triggered two parliamentary investigations.
