Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.
As of 4pm today the candidates were confirmed, & the race for the Clacton by-election is officially on between @countbinface.bsky.social & Farage. Here's our parody of "Englishman in New York" by #Sting - titled "Garbage Can Who Can Talk" - to reflect on the challenger 🎶🚀#noAI youtu.be/9NH5JpqrIzY

My son just told me is favourite sentence is: “I didn’t say we should kill him” because if you emphasise each different word it changes the entire meaning
Fill a birdbath during a heatwave. Plant flowers for bees and butterflies. Leave a small corner undisturbed for wildlife. Notice the small lives moving through your garden. These things don’t make headlines, but they matter.💚
His claim to be fighting for the people of Clacton would have been somewhat more convincing if he hadn't been forced to go back more than two years before finding a clip of himself there
In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.
Andy Burnham looks like he might cancel the NHS England contract with Palantir, they also have one worth 2.5x as much with the MoD. RT if you want them both out of the UK.
Remember when the line for these racists was ‘it’s fine if people come here as long as they assimilate and contribute’ Well I don’t think you can assimilate much more than becoming Lord Mayor Turns out they didn’t ever mean that - they are just racist
Matt Godwin is a failure who needs to leave my city the fuck alone. Failed candidate. Failed academic. Failed commentator. Failed intellectual. A massive ego wrapped around a shrivelled and scared intellect, poisoned by bile and subconcious awareness of his own inadequacy.
Nothing says 'speaking for the concerns of the common man' like being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to promote actual gold bars
Please... just one journalist in Westminster... I beg of you... Ask what she thinks of the devolved mayor who's spent £600m of public money on a project that's potentially given £500m to two local businessmen. Then ask what she's going to do about it because that mayor's a member of her party.
I swear Kemi Badenoch's only consistent position is that any policies put forward by parties to the left of her must be wrong by definition, regardless of what they are Labour wants more devolution. More devolution must therefore be wrong, despite the Conservatives spending years pushing for it
Today's the 10th anniversary of Brexit, one of the most disastrous political events in our lifetime, so since the usual bellends are out celebrating it, we’ve pulled together a quick acoustic parody called “Brexit Epiphanies” based on "Breakfast at Tiffany's" #Brexit #RejoinEU youtu.be/U0WwEinkJ1I

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has unveiled a billboard campaign across the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum today. The billboards call out Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5 million "reward for campaigning for Brexit, whilst people across the country feel the pinch."
Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.
Says the most professional of professional politicians. Leader of not 1, not 2 but 3 political parities and before that he was a Tory. Stood 8 times for parliament and served 5 terms in the European Parliament. Farage is the establishment. Never let him tell you otherwise.
"if you want to talk about who’s honest-to-god being ignored—by the media, politicians, thinktanks and the public alike—you’re going to have to get past “f” in the dictionary" The inimitable Terri White for @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/society/pove...
It’s our poorest white girls who are truly being ‘left behind’
A new report by the Sutton Trust makes clear that, despite widespread focus on white working-class boys, girls are in an escalating crisis

In British English, the word is 'titbit', not the ever increasing American 'tidbit'. Stop being a prude and let's reclaim the tit.
This is an excellent read. I would love a similar document covering things the government has done that were NOT in the manifesto, for completeness. fullfact.org/government-t...

When he was an MEP, Farage excused his absences on basis that it was an illegitimate government and that sovereignty should reside in Westminster. He's now an MP in Westminster And he's been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...
Working hard? Nigel Farage registered 'absent' from the last 77 votes in Parliament
Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks...

"That's what happens when you elect Nigel Farage fans..." @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to two new Reform councillors admitting they don't know what they're doing.
Farage claims his phone was hacked by Russia and that this highlights the “threat they pose to British security”. Which is odd because 7yrs ago he had the chance to strengthen laws against Russian interference but he voted against it, saying the claims were “baseless” The man is never, ever right.
Every Reform UK Councillor that has gone, with reasons. This is superb:

If journalists were doing their job properly, it would simply not be possible for the public to be labouring under this degree of ignorance when it comes to immigration. inews.co.uk/opinion/immi...
New Reform councillors off to a great start by refusing to vote on anything because they haven't a clue what anything means, how anything works or what the fuck they are doing. Vote Reform, get lazy, incompetent, ignorant morons.
Something that I think artificially inflates Burnham's popularity is the fact that the press love the idea of him ousting Starmer It's drama, personality politics, parlour games. Manna from heaven for tabloids As soon as he gets into No 10 they'll paint him as a loony lefty, raging Corbynista 2.0.
Not sure there’s any point having elections any more. We should just ask crypto billionaire, Christopher Harborne, who he’s paid to be the next prime minister and drop the absurd notion that the voters get to decide anything.
