Racism will never bring down the cost of groceries or gas.

53,800 of these bad boys are landing in Clacton. Ain’t they beauts? #VoteBinface

ICC CHIEF PROSECUTOR: “Oppose Israel and we will go after your family — You have been warned. Rubio, McConnell sent me a letter… what’s liberating is accepting mortality.”

Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

Kemi Badenoch defends selection of man jailed for harassing Jewish MP in council election – as it happened

Conservative leader tells press she stands by decision to select Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a candidate for local election in Somerset

This is *such* a revealing line about Kemi's world view and contempt for those who do the day to day work of keeping our society functioning

As an aside, if any other professionals were as incompetent as certain journalists, they'd be sacked and disbarred. But in the rightwing press, gross incompetence appears to be a qualification. After all, without its bullshitters for hire, how else would capital deny, deflect and distract?

So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.

It didn’t take the media this long to treat Nixon as the criminal he was during Watergate.

The UK Conservatives want Jewish groups to meet their new Neo-Nazi ex-con candidate.

Funny how Nigel seems more concerned about the Royal Navy's ability to intercept migrant boats than he is about them monitoring and persuading RUSSIAN NAVY ships to stop their incursions into our territory 🤔🫤

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

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

Hands up who’d be in a racist party whom probably 90% of their voters think you’re a illegal migrant who should be sent home as you have different coloured skin & a non English name Yes that’s you Zia Who else of a similar background would be so stupid to join Deform Oh ….hang on…bugger

Eight of the world's biggest oil companies made a combined $93bn in just three months as the Iran war sent oil prices soaring. Europe and the UK are literally on fire from climate change caused by their product. And yet conservatives and right wing media view them as heroes. 🧵 #r4today

I'm shocked.

The Righteous Rupert Lowe-Life preached about leaches sucking the financial blood out of Britain. This is the same Whoopert Lowe-Life whose company took £100k in furlough cash despite making £7.9 million profit He really didn’t need it but it was free, it was available so he took it like a leach

Has anybody checked that it's NOT Grant Shapps?

Rather puts Grant Shapps being rejected as a Conservative candidate into perspective.

The modern Conservative Party, where Net Zero gets you out and Neo Nazism gets you in

Chaos for Reform in the last 24 hours: Nigel Farage’s military Channel plan faces legal backlash Tice is under investigation Farage’s comeback story keeps shifting. Unity talks with Restore are collapsing into public infighting. Yet some people think they are the answer to Britain’s problems?

#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.

A Reform UK council candidate's account has posted that 'a vote for Labour is a vote for Muslim rule' as well as bizarre conspiracy theories about Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum She is hoping to win a by-election later this month

They are the Epstein Party. Every single one of them.

Sometimes you read something and say to yourself, is this really happening in my country? Fine have your right wing politics, it's a democracy, but if you can't see that this is not only illegal it also has no moral basis either, so call it out for what it is I suspect I'll wait
