Cannot be overstated that, for the far right, Reform already is and always was the compromise choice, just a foot in the door, it's not what they're after and Lowe delivers for them.

Euston Station right now 🤮

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Here's Nigel Farage's "Tiktok guru" and adviser, Jack Anderton, telling GB News that he would be "worried" if the Jewish population was growing in the UK. When do we start seeing all the coverage about the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

Reform's £4m donor "thumbed his nose at the law", US prosecutors said

Ben Delo has called his US conviction a "non-crime". Prosecutors said the Farage-backing crypto billionaire was a “leader of a criminal enterprise”.

Whatever happens between the Irish Government and the fuel protesters one thing is becoming clear. I think Ireland is about to see a powerful new political force along the lines of the European and UK far right. Just like we’ve seen elsewhere the incumbent parties are unprepared for what’s to come.

Fuel prices up to insane levels and petrol stations are now running out of fuel. Thank you Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸🫠

I was lucky enough to visit Iran back in 08. Travelled overland from Tabriz, Tehran, Esfahan, Bam and into Zahedan in the East. From the minute I crossed the border I was met with warmth, curiosity, and wonder. Not once did I feel threatened or unwelcome.

It can certainly be read as a love letter to Putin — Maria Popova has a point as usual — but whatever happens the expression of a genocidal wish by the president of the United States is a horror we will never live down.

Maria Popova@popovaprof.bsky.social · 6mo ago

It’s Tuesday, TACO Tuesday. He’s not going to nuke Iran. He’s trying a bit of nuclear blackmail like his idol and role model Putin.

These things only work when people choose to go along. If we deny that such a thing is possible we invite it. When we think it through and talk about it we deter it. (11/17)

US Treasury Sec Scott Bessent’s decision to lift sanctions on Iranian oil at sea shows just how badly Trump’s war has failed. Iran will get $14 billion from the deal, the first time the US is buying Iranian oil since 1996. Trump’s Omnishambles: lives lost, billions wasted, now he’s paying Iran.

Let me get this straight… According to Badenoch the UK is in a war with Iran yet Trump says the US isn’t engaged in a war with Iran. Just a military opp or something.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Utterly baffling briefing just now with Kemi Badenoch’s spokesman in which he repeatedly insists that “we’re in the war” with Iran and that she supports it, while simultaneously denying she ever said she wants to join the war she thinks we're already in

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

They'll cheer on the war then complain about the refugees it'll create.
