So l just looked at their website statement ‘ In the interests of transparency, Bailey was elected as a Reform councillor May 2026. He also works for Andrew Rosindell, Reform MP for Romford. He has no influence on Politics UK’s coverage.’ 😤 I followed them and shared their posts I’m a twit 😤

Politics UK posting on blue sky is owned by Bailey Nash-Gardner who just happens to be a Reform councillor NOT an impartial politics site after all .four pics showing 1.Bailey being elected , 2 Bailey supporting Robert Jenrick 3.Bailey with Farage 4.lots of posts full of faux impartiality

Just FYI, PoliticsUK is a right wing front. Their owner Bailey prominent in Reform UK. Step 1. grow follows by posting news Step 2. viral via sharing Step 3. inject propaganda to that audience Step 4. shape British narrative Post this under all their posts, and anyone you see sharing them.

How do we pay for UBI? … when corporations have replaced all our jobs, avoid taxes, and have all the money and assets? Uh, I dunno, but there’s something in that i cant quite put my finger on 🥴 There is another, more human-focused way. It’s literally why societies exist too. Anyone?

Closing Jodrell Bank is one of those indicators we should be watching out for. It shows changing priorities. Anti-intellectualism. Pullback from global communities. Curiosity and advancement unimportant. To save £2.8m?? What are we even doing here? www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

We used to ask “at which tree do we stop?” We know the answer now. We’ll only stop when the last tree is gone. And probably not even then, as we suffocate and starve. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if we stopped burning the planet.

Arguing whether taxing the rich is the answer or not the answer, is the trap that the rich want us to be in. The real answer is that it’s part of the answer. We all know that of course. But if they get to frame the debate in that absolute way, they get us distracted from the rest of the answer.

Some easier things Burnham can do -Change BBC leadership -Restore water/media/election regulators power -Undo Voter ID -Fix PIP -Reinstate proper asylum processes -Lower train prices -Subsidise insulation -Restore protest rights -Cancel Palantir contracts -Fine the water companies into oblivion

What we now need progress on from Burnham in next 100 days: -Proportional Representation -Rejoin the EU -Fossil fuel divestment -A real Green Industrial Revolution -Tax/Media/Tech reform -Mass nationalisation -Remove Israel support -Community owned housing projects -All Human Rights restored Yes?

This I think is the correct strategy. Don’t play Farage’s game. Don’t let him own the narrative as usual. Don’t let him gain any political points by winning. Greens, stand down in Clacton. Let Farage expose himself in public again. Binface will do us proud. Let’s all focus on 2029.

My likely controversial take on Farage’s little game to run a by-election in Clacton and own the media cycle while Burnham is becoming leader. Ignore it. There’s more important things to be spending our energy on.

Starmer, Burnham, whoever. I care more about Labour being a lot bolder and more progressive, and stopping chasing Reform votes by mimicking Reform policies. Than I care about who the leader is. “Don’t make politicians your heroes” as the saying goes. I feel the same about parties too. /1

Riddle me this. Who’s the growth for? The UK is already the 5th largest economy in the world. (Despite Brexit shrinking us by ~6%) Will poverty and potential be solved if we overtake Japan or Germany? How big before things get better? The US is No.1 and millions of them suffer every day.

I reckon we could just ignore the media though. The numbers suggest people aren’t buying their misinformation anyway. And if the media are in control of policy, then that makes the case for media reform. Which again, we could just do.

We don’t need to rerun the arguments about Brexit and Rejoining the EU. It’s clear, people have changed their minds. (Years ago actually, but let’s pretend just now) So why are we so afraid to make the case and start the process of rejoining? There would be a surge in voter turnout.

You know why “At this rate it will take [The Tories] 500 years to get back to power" Not because of Labour. But because the public were so done with Tory policies and ideology that they joined with millions in the biggest coordinated tactical voting the country has ever seen. 91 extra Tories out.

Tell me your predictions for #GE2029 Say how and why.. - Reform win? - Burnham turns it around? - Greens go big? - Libdems have their moment? - Restore is the true choice? - Tories something? - Tactical voting again, but more pretending not? - Coalitions on both sides? - We actually get PR first?
