Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage

Farage isn't campaigning for a GE next month.He’s playing the long game. A splashy headline during a quiet news month generates free publicity, rallies his core voter base, shifts media attention away from his party's bad press and ensures that immigration remains the headline topic on his terms.

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

Thinking of a career in the Royal Marines? Sign up now and if Reform win the next election you could be patrolling the Channel on a new and expensive top of the range destroyer, to pick up refugees and drop them off on a beach in France.

The Farage Fan Club has been programmed to say, “well they all do that don’t they” when asked about the £5m “gift”. It’s like Trump and his claim that he could shoot someone dead or grab women’s privates, and they will still vote for him. And they will. It’s like they’ve been hypnotised!

#Birdoftheday #birds #birdsofbluesky #nature #photography It’s a Blue Jay but aren’t they spectacular.

Under standard UK political betting rules, ante-post bets placed on a party that ultimately chooses not to field a candidate are typically settled as losers (or "all in, run or not"), unless the bookmaker explicitly offers "non-runner, no bet" terms. (I don’t understand it either!)

Many people including myself are hoping beyond hope that Farage will get trounced in Clacton. Yeah right! The bookies have him so far in front he’s a racing certainty to win and they’re rarely wrong are they? Farage is at 1/20 to 1/16, Labour at 16/1, Count Binface at 18/1. Sorry!

EUFA might be boycotting the next world cup but i’m willing to bet many of the players wont. I hope i’m wrong but I suspect they’ll follow their pockets, not their hearts.

Across the country, wildfires are raging. The Prime Minister needs to call a COBRA meeting and treat the climate crisis with the urgency this moment calls for.

I find it hard to believe that many Christians across the world hold Donald J Trump up as a paragon of Christian morality, but I see little evidence that they don’t. Why not?

Close your eyes and try to imagine what the earth will look like in 1000 years time. What do you see?

Talking of millionaires, Dyson, the hand dryer guy left the UK and set up in Malaysia. This year, Dyson settled a legal case bought by 24 migrant workers who described being threatened and beaten, having their passports withheld, and being forced to work long hours in unsanitary conditions.

Let's not forget the hypocrisy of Farage refusing to condemn one of his team - Lancashire Reform Councillor Simon Evans - saying of Labour MP Natalie Fleet, "She should be shot." Performative fucking outrage when it suits him.

"Free Lucy Connolly" and "jail Zack Polanski" are not remotely intellectually consistent as positions. Anyone who's said both – hi Zia! – can be dismissed as an insincere grifter. And that's even before you factor that Connolly's post was significantly worse *and* made during a time of riots.

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, eh Nige!

I wouldn’t worry too much about millionaires leaving the country. Instead we should encourage them to leave if they wont pay their taxes.

There must be a lot of Climate Change scientists with very smug looks on their faces at the moment. Trump still holding fast though and still claiming climate change is the greatest con ever! Twat!

“The M25 is slow due to a breakdown”. Of course it is. There’s no hard shoulder now so there’s no where for emergency breakdowns to go. The traffic stops, breakdown services and ambulances can’t get through. Whose friggin idea was it to remove the hard shoulder? Maybe Andy should reinstate them!

I’ve just discovered the BBC series, Not Going Out. It’s very good by why do they always leave the bloody door to the flat open whenever someone comes in? It messes with my OCD!

@channel4news.bsky.social Please can you turn down the volume on the music that starts the show. It is ridiculously high and totally unnecessary. Thank you.

I am reminded of the five questions Tony Benn said we should ask of our politicians; 1. What power have you got? 2. Where did you get it from? 3. In whose interests do you exercise it? 4. To whom are you accountable? 5. And how can we get rid of you? In answer to number 5. vote Bin Face!

"Dicey" means unpredictable, risky, uncertain, or potentially dangerous. When something is described as dicey, it implies you are taking a chance where the outcome could easily turn out poorly—much like rolling a die. Friends, I give you, Richard “Dicey”Tice.

Farage on GBNews today spouting more tosh. Don’t panic, I don’t watch it, I saw this on Youtube. Thing is, how is he allowed to have a slot on GBNews without GBNews featuring Count BinFace? We’re in purdah aren’t we?

It was a long time ago but the message is clear. Farage is prepared to use civil unrest and violence to get his own way. Someone needs to ask him about that!

This is the person who is now lecturing us about MPs safety... He doesn't understand Irony, does he?

Burnham at his desk today wondering wether to go with the Bristol Channel and Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project that will generate green energy for millions of households or continue with HS2 to link Birmingham to Manchester for the benefit of…, well hardly anyone really. Oh the agony of choice!

Why is Trump so keen for the UK to open up the drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea?

What happened to Messi tonight? He seemed to have been asleep for most of the game.
