"Farage called the Clacton by-election to avoid the investigations into his ‘£5 million gift’ from the crypto billionaire Harborne & other questionable ‘gifts’ ⌛️ From the timeline of events it’s clear that he broke the rules regarding gifts 👨⚖️ He wants Clacton voters to judge him" via Barry Howard
That's 4 years before Nigel Farage completely contradicted himself He's so desperate to move the conversation from £5 million undeclared bribe how soon before he U-turns within a month, week, day ... "The problem is we always keep receipts… " via Reform Are Not Your Friends

Genuine question. Are you still allowed to eat cheese/snacks/ cheese when watching TV that isn’t the World Cup?
Amazing week as Brits realise that ‘populists’ are self-serving, manipulative, do-nothing, hot-air, nasty pieces of work. Now is not the time to celebrate Now is the time to push harder Expose the Cottrell’s funding Expose the populists anti-worker policies Expose their establishment backgrounds
GUYS - I’ve just realised what Farage is going to do… The thing is he now has NO WAY to proceed which doesn’t humiliate him. If he wins, he is, as Rachel Reeves put it, The Man Who Spent His Summer Arguing With A Bin. If he bails, he’s The Man Who Fled From A Bin. And if he LOSES…
Farage complains to the electrol committee that local residents in #Clacton are being intimidated by @countbinface.bsky.social activists
Whether it’s politics or sides of the Mersey, I’m uniting red and blue.
@garyseconomics.bsky.social Stand in Clayton Gary. You are the REAL man of the people against the millionaire twat with Russian friends. PLEASE
@garyseconomics.bsky.social the way you dealt with Samuel in Ch4 doc was VERY COOL. I’ve followed you a lot and wondered what else I’d see in this doc. But that was clever
In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.
If you were Laila Cunningham, Jenrick, Yussuf, or 30p Lee how would you be feeling about being thrown under the bus by a narcissist leader who won’t answer the questions he is forcing you to do? I almost feel sorry for them
This Farace (sic) is unraveling faster than my knitting nan’s ball of wool. People vs establishment doesn’t work when your ‘establishment’ is Binface What he’s done by resigning to restand is not constitutionally allowed. Reform are not allowed to pay for the by-election. 😂😂😂
Hannah this is a perfect, measured but also cutting response to the Farace (sic)
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 4w agoFarage is the epitome of everything that's wrong with British politics - backed by big money and Donald Trump and stoking division in our communities. We wont' stand in the Clacton stunt election - but we will focus relentlessly on this ultimate establishment stooge.
Apparently Farage cannot actually resign. See constitutional law expert opinion below 😂
Jonathan McAreavey@mcareaveyjb.bsky.social · 4w agoOk, here’s the help you need. It’s dull constitutional law, but important! 1. Farage said he was resigning. Factually incorrect, as MPs can’t resign, as they have serve out their term 2. If an MP wishes to leave Parliament, they have to apply to the Chancellor of the Exchequer… 1/x
I know someone who has all that, and all she does is complain about trans kids.
There’s no point in telling the Yanks, but: nobody in the U.K. thinks beans on toast is gourmet food. What it is is cheap, filling, comforting, reasonably nutritious, and very useful indeed if you are low on money or spoons.
This is the obsession I hear too. I hear it as “We need to train our people because they are not using AI enough” What that means is “They are not doing enough to eliminate their own jobs” I wonder why
jon christian@jonchristian.net · last mo.NEW: Workers say their bosses are becoming obsessed with AI and essentially turning the entire workplace into an exercise in AI psychosis -- making absurd pivots, communicating only in AI slop, and even asking ChatGPT who to fire futurism.com/artificial-i...
Can’t stop singing “He’s fat, with piles, he’s in the Epstein files …” gotta love the chants of the terraces
