“Reform repaid Tice loan on same day £1mn donated by mother of Farage aide Cottrell” But where did the Cottrells get the money from? ReFUK & Cottrells unwilling to come clean on that one. Only reason I can think of is that it would be incriminating #ReFUKCorruption archive.ph/2026.08.05-1...

Badenoch, Farage, Tice - we await your considered comments on how promoting fossil fuels will help. I have to assume none of them has children who will face the horrendous consequences of climate collapse. 🤔 e360.yale.edu/features/1.5...

Badenoch looks more and more like a candidate on The Apprentice. Industrial-strength confidence, fed by chronic lack of self-awareness, with laughable gravitas / skills / knowledge behind it.
What is truly dreadful is that Somerset is a unitary authority so has responsibilities for children and vulnerable adults. It would be scandalous for such a person to receive safeguarding clearance.
I don’t understand why some commentators seem to think Badenoch is doing well as leader, when everything I see her do fits exactly this description. Sorry, she just comes across as very stupid
Dorian Lynskey@dorianlynskey.bsky.social · 21h agoBadenoch represents double-down conservatism. Never apologise or moderate. Insult your opponents. Patronise journalists when challenged. Contradict yourself, lie, whatever it takes, but never back down. And that's how you end up creating an extremely avoidable Tory antisemitism scandal overnight
To be fair, “Councillors and council elections don’t matter” are a load-bearing part of the “Kemi Badenoch is doing well and the Conservative party’s prospects under her are looking good” thesis.

The banks pay £5bn a year less tax than in 2022 because of Rishi Sunak's bank tax cut which has never been reversed.

The UK government is destroying the things the UK actually does well in the hope of becoming 'world leaders' in AI, which won't happen anyway, and wouldn't be a good thing if it did. Thanks Labour, once more
Dr Beth@drbeth.bsky.social · 2d agoIf we spend money supporting research, education and practice in areas we're actually good at, there might not be enough money to throw at the long shot of being 'world leaders" in AI.
Labour Forces Through London Data Centre Amid Worst Drought in Decades flip.it/rJQ4j7 No change there then. I really think Burnham has simply pulled a con to convince people he's different from Starmer. The rhetoric may be different but the decions aren't. Given his background I'm not surprised.
Labour Forces Through London Data Centre Amid Worst Drought in Decades
Andy Burnham’s government has approved a new data centre near London’s Brick Lane despite widespread local opposition, even as the city suffers its worst drought in decades.

It remains unclear who created the viral posts that encouraged the would-be migrants to believe that they could get to Europe from Ceuta. But those who want to weaken the Spanish government, boost the European far right, and create turmoil inside the EU lost little time in promoting the photographs.
UK 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇦 □@ukbastard.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Far-right is distorting Ceuta. We've seen this before www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
www.irishtimes.com/world/africa... This is a total conspiracy theory, but I suspect the international fascist far right may have had a hand in this. No evidence, just IMO. Look at the timing: Nigel Farage’s election. US midterm election. Moroccan officials dialed in. Money buys anything.

Even Home Office's own analysis shows tougher measures force more people into longer, more dangerous routes and exploitation. Tackling smugglers starts with ensuring people don't have to use them. Meanwhile, Labour's own policies mean more people are forced to use them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is a constant source of anger to me how, without dismissing the harm Tories caused, so many people who condemned the Conservatives anti-asylum/immigration policies are happy to defend Labour's when they are actively worse in practice. Bad policy doesn't cease to be bad based on who implements it.
20 people have died in European wildfires this summer. More than 300,000 have been evacuated from their homes. The Prime Minister has not ruled out further drilling in the North Sea. Please Mr Burnham. Stop dancing to Farage's tune... Tackle the real issues!🙏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dear Reform activists, did Farage ask your opinion before deciding to resign and trigger a pointless election, hoping to use your vote as a pseudo-jury in a pretend trial of whether his money-laundering is morally acceptable? By the way, jury decisions need to be unanimous, not 25% in favour.
