Two hours after this Channel 4 News story on Reform and the foreign donations dropped. Social media is all over it. Other party leaders are calling for the police to investigate. And what's going on over on the BBC News website? Tumbleweeds.
Strange that Farage isn't issuing an 'Emergency Address to a Worried Nation' over the exclusively white gang violence currently engulfing Middlesbrough.
Reform ex-Tory UK leaders were in "The party of law and order. Closed 23 prisons, Cut 12,500 prison places, Privatised probation services, Cut 20,000 experienced police officers, Released thousands of prisoners early, Brought the criminal justice system to the brink of collapse" via We Demand UK
I wish the story wasn’t, “Trump yelled at a female reporter again”, but instead was, “The press corps stood up for the female reporter who was disrespected by Trump.”
Nadhim Zahawi, if you’re going to tell egregious lies, do you really want to make them about political influence being bought through large donations? Do you really want to go there right now?
It was a perfectly reasonable use of an alert system introduced over a year ago, as the bumph at the time said. #bbcbh
We need proper sanctions on Israel, economic, cultural and military - as we did with South Africa in those awful Apartheid years. And as we have with Russia, for far lesser crimes against humanity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The key difference between us and many other countries, I guess, is that our radio is really good. And the key reason for that is the BBC.
Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · 4w ago"Video, as the 1979 pop song had it, was supposed to have killed the radio star. It has not done so in Britain. Nor, more surprisingly, have podcasts or smartphones. Overall, the country listens to about as much radio as it did 20 years ago: around 1bn hours a week."

Who's a bigger danger to your kids? The random asylum seeker you're violently attacking, or *you*, the violent thug who's either traumatising them or not raising them right, willing to lash out for your jollies in the moment and leave them without a father? You're the cancer in this country.
China is producing 89% of the world’s solar panels, 70% of the world’s wind turbines, 83% of the world’s batteries, and 75% of the world’s electric vehicles. And they're not involved in constant wars. Coincidence?
Is there anyone or anything that Kemi Badenoch actually likes? Conservative councillors are the latest group to be on the receiving end of her contempt.
Donald Trump has used up almost all of the United States’ long-range missiles to increase all of the United States’ gas prices. He’s smart that way.
Staff in the private sector should also be protected from racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia etc. from patients. It’s time politicians and the media stop being racist and scapegoating migrants.
