The end game for billionaire fascists funding the worst people in UK politics is to drag us out of the ECHR. Don't think for a second Reform/Restore/Tories won't combine to deliver that come 2029.
Well that's a vote of confidence for all Tory councillors.
I see Richard “if Rayner had any integrity she would offer her resignation” Tice is being investigated. Again
Vance, Farage and Weidel posted fear-mongering messages about a Spanish migrant crisis that weren't true. They haven't retracted them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
The Far Right Is Distorting Ceuta
We’ve seen this before.

So Farage is doing a press conference today, likely small boat based fearmongering. Any journalist out there want to pin this on him? Farage & his ridiculous brexit are responsible. www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud...
For days, Reform politicians claimed that significant numbers of migrants who surged into Ceuta would be heading to Calais and onwards to Britain Not only have most already returned to Morocco, but Moroccans have made up just 0.07% of small boat arrivals since 2021 inews.co.uk/news/no-thou...
No, thousands of migrants won't come to the UK from Ceuta - here's why
Fears of a new migration crisis impacting the UK are misplaced despite the chaotic scenes witnessed in Ceuta, an expert has said

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.
I've never been more convinced a hostile foreign power is organising this on purpose to destablise the EU. 50,000 people don't just spontaneously decide to all storm a Spanish territory in North Africa. This is weaponised migration 100% #Ceuta
The NCA has done an investigation like this before. In 2018/19 into the ‘true source of Arron Banks’s £8m donation to LeaveEU. That investigation led to the creation of a loophole in UK law. A loophole Arron Banks took legal action against the Electoral Commission for even speaking about 2/
Big new story from @annaisaac.bsky.social. Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother before she made Reform & Tice donations. The even bigger question now is where did Cottrell’s money come from? And this is where I think a very big problem lies.. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Revealed: George Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother days before her donations to Reform UK
Exclusive: Sources say Fiona Cottrell told bankers the transfers, received 24-72 hours before her donations to Reform, came from her son

On Burnham’s social care speech today, it was deeply refreshing to see him make a point to thank immigrants who provide social care. I hope that reflects where we go with ILR bill but beyond that it is good to hear gratitude and openness rather than scapegoating and penny pinching.

I'm not saying I'm desperate, but we are busing people in from Wales to help me beat a bin.
Switch 'Farage' with Burnham..or Rayner 'Cottrell, who was spotted outside the London home he let Farage use, has made false claims about his conviction. He said he was entrapped during a single meeting when, in fact, he repeatedly offered drug dealers help laundering their money online.' ⬇️
Still baffled as to why this story got instantly buried. Should have been front page for days. www.lbc.co.uk/article/nhs-...
Maybe Count Binface should release his tax returns and challenge Farage to do the same?
'As early as 2011, aged 17, he was pursuing oil and gas acquisitions across Russia and the former Soviet Union through his investment company ARA Capital. Cottrell, then, already had a personal connection to a family at the centre of Russian oil money.' bylinetimes.com/2026/07/23/p...

Reform UK donor and Farage ally George Cottrell carried a fake Swiss passport under the name ‘Oscar Drewitt’. Cottrell was hired under the name by the future Reform treasurer Mehrtash A’zami. A’zami later vetted Cottrell’s mother's donations to Reform, now the subject of a police investigation

I genuinely cannot understand how the Labour government has now had two, genuinely cultured prime ministers who both looked at Lisa Nandy’s record there and went “I’m pleased with this. I want this to continue.”
I can't work out if this is intended as a punishment to Lisa Nandy, who clearly hates the job; or a punishment to the entire UK culture sector, which is suffering as a result of that. Maybe both?
Here I am in 2017 pretending I hardly knew George Cottrell, the convicted fraudster who calls me "Daddy" and was my right hand man and a key fundraiser during the Brexit campaign.
A very good first discussion with @andyburnham.bsky.social. We are both committed to bringing the EU and the UK closer and closer. Together, we will work towards a successful Summit that delivers for our businesses, our young people and our shared security.
When the BNP won a single council seat in 1993 it was a national news story for days. Horror. Condemnation. Now an even more far right party is getting 11% across a whole county and it's just normal.
