#Newsnight I honestly find all of these Tories quite galling. They left these prisons in a state of crisis, yet these arsonists come on TV telling the fire brigade how to put out their fire.

Imagine if Failing Grayling and the Tory grifters hadn't destroyed a community rooted effective Probation Service ... It's what we need now. They; the Tories wrecked it . Fact

Well that wasn't on my Bat-shit Badenoch Bingo Card.

'So we've heard the concerns of the Jewish community about standing a convicted neo-Nazi anti-semite as a local candidate and decided to give him a national job instead...'

#Newsnight 20 months ago, Kemi Badenoch did not believe in giving people second chances. Today, she has looked like a clown.

"Badenoch is a joke, but her actions are deadly serious. Her continued presence as Tory leader undermines the party and corrodes public life."

Here are the stupidest things Kemi Badenoch has said so far today inews.co.uk/opinion/kemi...

That Badenough thought that Bonehead-Pain could be an MP only shows how completely she's lost the plot: ex-Nazis in the party of Cons. Figures!

Ian Skelley is such a superior host for the misnamed 'Essential Classics'. He is genuinely funny and blessedly he lacks the condescension of the terrible Mann woman.

And nothing about his repulsive, xenophobic, rw rants on air and in print? Looks like the right protecting its own, but the Guardian? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

@daveafaf.bsky.social this c*nt again also, have the tories outsourced their vetting to reform?

I guess he's just lucky there's no record of him supporting Net Zero

Reform are corrupt, Tice is corrupt, and #FiveHomesFarage is thoroughly corrupt.

If Nigel Farage needed millions of £s to induce him to return to politics you have to wonder whether he has the will or desire to actually take on the responsibilities of Prime Minister

In either case, unless you genuinely need such a thing for your work, I will think of you as an immoral person if you own one. And I believe we should all start thinking that way.

The question in my mind is how out of touch with reality does someone need to be to buy such things during a climate emergency? How many Telegraph editorials add up to a downpayment on one of these contraptions? Or is it a giant Up-Yours to other people and the rest of the living world?

The bizarre thing is that, other than Reform, none of the mainstream parties are running. The upcoming Clacton by-election is really just an ego trip for Farage. Of course, it would be spectacular if Farage lost to Count Binface (who, apparently, is the Establishment). #VoteBinface

'Russian front' is the perfect rhyming slang for Nigel Farage

Arthur Snell@snellarthur.bsky.social · 4d ago

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 is a lot more than £5million that Farage needs investigating for why was Farage in Russia and on Putin's own TV show?. Former Welsh Reform leader Nathan Gill jailed for pro-Russia bribery. '‘Thick as Thieves’: Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage’s Putin Problem' Byline Times. Photo Wales Online.

Know it won't happen but Farage's political career, corruption finally catching up with him, ending with a defeat to Count Binface would just be a Shakespeare level of epic.

'Clacton-on-Sea contains Jaywick, named the most deprived neighbourhood in England for 4th time since 2010' ... I wonder how Farage has helped this neighbourhood in his constituency.

Anti-Reform@antireform.bsky.social · 4d ago

Nigel Farage's father was a very rich stockbroker; he's privately educated, billionaire funded, travels by private jet cares far more about his 5 homes & 13 jobs than helping constituents in Clacton which includes Jaywick, named the most deprived neighbourhood in England for 4th time since 2010
