🍾🍾 🤣🤣 have you seen where Farage ranks❓ He’s much lower than Badenoch which isn’t down to her genius (as much as she’d arrogantly think it is) It’s because the £5 million he took so happily turned out to be his Achilles heel and lashing out at MSM who’ve been championing turned them against him..😃

YouGov: Latest UK party leader net favourability ratings. Burnham’s is the highest recorded for a PM since the surge in Boris Johnson's popularity in the initial weeks of the Coronavirus pandemic. Andy Burnham: +13 Ed Davey: -8 Kemi Badenoch: -16 Zack Polanski: -29 Nigel Farage: -44

This far-right troll @bikeplanets.bsky.social has put me, many good resisters and progressive Europeans on a blocklist, because it falsely accuses us of being a 'terf'. Block and report @bikeplanets.bsky.social and his troll-friend @penelopiebikes.bsky.social, who falsely accuses us as well.

I found this post box at Knockrome on Jura in 2013. Never seen anything better.

A Cambridge professor is dead after facing extraordinary scrutiny over alleged PhD errors. The Times, Telegraph and Mail published 111 articles about Jason Arday. Edward Higgs asks what lay behind this campaign when other plagiarism cases attracted far less attention.

Jason Arday and the ‘new’ old racism

The tragic death of Jason Arday has sent shock waves worldwide, but there are grim and dark reasons why it is not surprising

Reform sticking to what they know best. Politics reduced to three word simplistic slogans: this time 'Ending Benefits Britain.' Combined with another golden oldie: plucking a rounded-up financial figure out of the air to aid cut-through. Next stop: a red bus with the porkies.

These people who suddenly care about academic plagerism sound just like the people who suddenly care about fairness in sports Funny eh, what a coincidence

The BBC is considering making its news and drama more appealing to a Reform audience. Anyway, here’s their report on today’s press conference by the Hateful Eight. No room for any coverage of the 72 LibDem MPs. Suggestions, please, for a Reform-friendly BBC drama.

I feel like this Reform finance story got overlooked May 2024: Bassim Haidar opposes abolition of non-dom tax status April 2025: Haidar pledges £1m to Reform & publicly predicts/hopes Farage may create new non-dom regime June 2025: Reform launches the Britannia Card, a £250k flat-fee for non-doms

No jumping to the head of the line, Iran!

And mass climate migration.

Tice's climate comments are 'idiotic', eco-millionaire Dale Vince says as he admits he 'wouldn't mind' making climate denial illegal | LBC

Eco-activist millionaire Dale Vince has suggested he would not mind if climate denial became a criminal offence as he took aim at 'idiotic' comments made by Reform deputy leader Richard Tice.

US Secretary of Health RFK Jr says the polio vaccine “killed many, many more people” than polio ever did. RFK Jr’s claim is false, here's why:

So powerful to be in Trafalgar Square at the vigil. Rest in Power, Professor Jason Arday.

A comprehensive safety review by the National Cancer Institute & other global health agencies found no causal relationship between the polio vaccine & cancer. Following the start of polio vaccines in the 1950s cases in the US dropped rapidly from tens of thousands down to near-zero by the 1960s.

Nicholas Pegg@nicholaspegg.bsky.social · 24h ago

Just a thought, but is it perhaps time for a responsible news media to stop reporting the dribbling arseblurts of these fools? Seriously, this is on a par with “Bloke down the pub says it’s a well-known fact that there’s no actual evidence that smoking is bad for you.”

We need to show rightwing newspapers that actions have consequences. Add your name: goodlawproject.org/s/abb8a1

Jason Arday: Demand a public inquiry now | Good Law Project

Commission an immediate public inquiry into how to ensure a responsible press given its contribution to Dr Arday’s tragic death.

There’s something deeply repellent about Reform’s vengeful and racist obsession to take money from the most vulnerable when they’re under multiple investigations for breaking rules, dodging tax and gorging on £millions for themselves. (And trashing our EU agreement is just so thick it hurts) iPaper

Triggering a vanity by-election was a blatant attempt by Farage to dodge being held to account. Our ‘Clacton Clause’ would stop a stunt like this being pulled ever again. A sitting MP under investigation should never be able to weaponise a by-election escape scrutiny.

Two-thirds of UK news articles about wildfires this summer haven’t mentioned climate change - but ignoring it doesn’t make it go away, it just makes averting the worst of it even harder @eciu.net

Two-thirds of UK news articles about wildfires this summer haven't mentioned climate change

Analysis from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit adds to concerns that national newspapers are failing to link this summer's extreme weather to climate change and the net-zero policies necessary to mitigate its drastic effects.

Since privatisation, water companies have extracted £85 billion net out of the system. Every penny they claim to have invested has come from your bills; they’ve also racked up a debt mountain of over £60 billion at your expense. Their actions now are indefensible. We need water in public hands.

Farage and Jenrick’s latest attack on a minority - aiming at autistic and disabled people - is grotesque. A pair of rich & privileged men attacking some of society's poorest and most marginalised people to divert attention from financial sleaze My @theipaper.com column inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

Nigel Farage knows UK could save £billions by - closing every tax avoidance loophole - making everyone pay fair share via #TaxTheRich - public utility nationalisation - end billionaire war & climate profiteering - adequately funded fraud squad to recoup PPE etc £billions but instead chose

Voters and tax payers must know where Farage’s donor, bribe and dirty money comes from, why these ppl give him money And all links with arron banks plus where his moNey came from for Brexit, any Russian links, any security links, any attempts to weaken the uk www.mirror.co.uk/tv/nigel-far...

Well I for one am astonished that a party run by multimillionaires and funded by billionaires wants to slash welfare to the bone and force people on benefits to work for nothing ... so that they can cut taxes for the rich www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Jenrick says Reform would make long-term benefits claimants clean up high streets – UK politics live

Party’s ‘welfare to work’ policy would force long-term claimants to do community work or face losing benefits
