Musk continues to stoke race wars in the U.K. using his platform to do so. It’s feeble how little power we are exercising against X.
Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is. #NeverPM www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-wheels...
The Wheels Are Falling off the Nigel Farage Project
The Reform leader's increasingly rattled public appearances betray a growing sense that the opportunity of a lifetime could be about to slip from his fingers

Samir Zitouni who works for LNER was the first person to try and stop the attack in Huntingdon. He is a hero spread his name far and wide, judge people on their actions not their names or immigration status.
Never have I seen such a perfect example of Schrödinger's Migrant. Zia Yusuf, asked whose PIP Reform would cut, talks about "foreign nationals". Less than a minute later, same "foreign nationals" are taking all the jobs and damning British youth to life on PIP. 🤡 Utter clownshow. ~AA
Farage: "I now understand more than I did the role of the state in strategic industries. This is why Richard and I went to Scunthorpe. If we hadn't gone to Scunthorpe, there would be no primary steel made in Britain today." Does he genuinely think his bandwagon photo-op saved steel? NURSE! 😂 ~AA
▪️ If it's an immigrant... "See!" ▪️ If it's not an immigrant, but they're not white (or don't have a white British name)... "See! Next generation of immigrants!" ▪️ If it's a white guy with a British name... "See! See what these immigrants made good peaceful people do?!"
Dominic Grieve’s response to Nigel Farage’s ‘let’s leave the ECHR’ stunt in parliament is spot on.
Given the abject horror that has taken place you'd think, for once that Trump wouldn't make it all about himself. But like a stuck record, there he is... going on about himself
Watching the Bibi & Don Show treat this like some grand victory, while people returning to northern Gaza dig the rubble for loved ones' remains, is pretty revolting.
Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"
If Michelle Mone gets to keep the superyacht, the private jet and the seat in the House of Lords, at least give the 'benefit scroungers' narrative a break for a couple of weeks
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.
Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.
For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.
"Of course Britain is broken. He broke it... He's done everything he could to break down this country." Nigel Farage is copying everything from Donald Trump's playbook, and it's plain for all to see
The shameless hypocrisy of Nigel Farage | The News Agents
Nigel Farage has been branded a “Putin-loving free speech impostor and Trump sycophant” during his visit to the US to plead for help with Britain's so-called ‘free-speech problem.’ But will slagging…

"What's wrong with putting a flag up?" they ask. Like saying, what's wrong with planting a geranium? Nothing wrong with it. But if you're bankrolled to go out, in groups, at night, planting *thousands* on public land and other people's front gardens, it becomes something other than horticulture.
My primary impression of Rayner's arrangements regarding her child was what an amazing example of a "good divorce" this was and how dedicated both her and her ex husband obviously are to their co-parenting responsibilities and their children's welfare. I have not seen this mentioned anywhere once.
Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.
<BANGS ON POT> Season Finale is up. And it is a corker, if I say so meself.

The final phase of largest-ever expansion of publicly funded childcare support has begun in England, as thousands of working parents receive more help with their nursery costs. Those eligible are now able to get 30 hours of free childcare per week during term-time for their children aged 9 mths-4yrs
Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Yes. Can we please make this happen. NF not being challenged on this sends me into orbit.
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 12mo agoAs Farage parades around the studios and airwaves today can reporters please ask him why there were no Channel crossings prior to the Brexit which he claimed would "take back control of our borders". Thanks
You do and you do it so well. Thank you.
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 12mo agoI go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up. Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.
