It doesn’t take long for links to develop from Farage to Cottrell to Abramovitch ….to Chelsea ? ….. #EFC where might this end? #EPL

The usual suspects at the top except how are Tottenham affording this??? Plus our #EFC fan base are screaming like banshees at our lack of activity (RB) yet we’re near the top of this list!

Gee this is vile anyone who remembers the horror of Dunblane knows that Rupert Lowe is spouting obscene nonsense. He needs calling out.

I’m blocking lots on the ‘left’ today telling us who the bad guys are (Starmer/Israel/centrists/Burnham) whilst espousing hate and the same politics of division but no solutions as Trumpian nationalists sadly. The remnants of old style Corbynistas maybe I just don’t get it unless they are bots!
‘Flip flop’ a term used by the Tories why use that specific term unless you are allied with them?
Andrew@maninfrance.bsky.social · last mo.I am concerned that the coronation of Burnham who hasn't been an MP or in government for years and failed to become leader twice to two failures, Milliband and Corbyn, will be another Brown disaster. Brown was a coronation and was a disaster, I fear Flip Flop Burnham will be the same.
The sums involved in the MPs expenses scandal were chicken feed compared to the Farage £5m. HIs reaction - mind your own business - suggests he may not be cut out for this democracy thing app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73952/...
We must learn the truth about Nigel Farage’s £5m donation
The Reform leader should be made to understand that transparency is part of standing for high office

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house
This week's post: Why governments should not be in hock to the bond market mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2026/06/why-... Policy based on fears about the bond market, or worse about what journalists are writing about that market, will be bad policy. This has become one of Andy Burnham's first tests.

@thepokeuk.bsky.social · last mo.Nigel Farage tried to convince BBC Breakfast’s Sally Nugent that ‘no-one cares at all’ about his £5 million crypto ‘gift’, and she pushed back until he squirmed www.thepoke.com/2026/06/23/f...
This sums up the immigration debate neatly in a way you won't hear it spelled out in the British media. A media which seems to have given up on any commitment to educate many years ago.

Just a reminder that Reform UK seems to have no policy on healthcare other than Nigel Farage doesn’t like the NHS. Presumably he prefers this awful system as per the US where if you aren’t wealthy you worry.
Lisa Jarvis@lisamjarvis.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Trump admin's already terrible policy-sweeping cuts to Medicaid-is getting worse. A harsher approach in translating that policy into practice could mean bigger headaches for states, more people needlessly losing insurance & eroded access to care.

Farage is no friend of anyone except fascist thugs
