People interpret historical takes on Britishness in all sorts of ways that normally aligns with their political biases. Again, I say tread carefully. Such things are cultural construct 2/11

Wow. This is what happens when you’re elected on Nigel’s ticket. No understanding of councils, no campaigning, no effort, just sign your name under Reform.

Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 3mo ago

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.

A more accurate reporting of the incident might have read like this: “Three men have been stabbed in two locations in London, a 45 year old man recently released from a psychiatric hospital has been arrested and charged with three counts of attempted murder.” sodiumhaze.substack.com/p/uk-governm...

UK government, media and police are colluding to usher in an authoritarian police state

The boundary between mendacious political theatre and public institutions is breaking down

On a day when mega-rich, privileged and safe, Zia Yusuf, pledges to shove asylum seekers in detention centres (in Green constituencies), before forcibly deporting them, this is a v important read. These grim people are frauds. Exploiting ignorance and racism for votes. But only to enrich themselves.

My View Ian Birrell Farage and the fraud of populism It always pays to follow the money in politics Extract: Farage… works hard to burnish a facade as standard-bearer for ordinary folks fighting a complacent establishment, polishing his everyman image with fags, flat cap and pints. Brexit, he declared, was a victory for "real people". Shrugging off this act of national self-harm, he returned to the political fray two years ago at the helm of Reform UK supposedly to speak up "for the ordinary, decent, hard-working people of this country". Given this stance, it was curious to learn that this silver-tongued politician quietly pocketed 55m from a crypto billionaire called Christopher Harborne shortly before his surprise return. Farage had, after all, said he did not plan to stand as an MP; now polls suggest he stands on the threshold of Downing Street. He claimed the sum was a gift to pay for his security after being rumbled by a Guardian journalist. Yet it always pays to follow money in politics. And this cash highlights how the anti-elitist populism sold to voters is a fraud, a rebranding of hard-right, anti-state conservatism by the super rich and their fellow travellers. Farage has long focused on leveraging his fame into a fortune while enjoying the largesse of ultra-wealthy people, despite claiming "there's no money in politics". His grifting has caused political hiccups, whether it was taking cash for appearances on the Kremlin's propaganda machinery Russia Today or side hustles such as recording customised messages for Cameo punters. Now an unsavoury stench wafts from this "gift", which is being probed for possible investigation by the Electoral Commission after the Tories claimed it was an undeclared donation - Farage denies this. Harborne insists he wants nothing in return. Yet it is hard not to wonder why a tycoon based in Thailand - where he goes under the name Chakrit Sakunkrit - has handed an astonishing £17M to Reform UK and its leader… I met many American voters during his campaigns seduced by the idea that this self serving hustler was driven by desire to serve his nation and drain the Washington swamp. They have been rewarded with chaos, alleged corruption and a cost of living crisis fuelled by a foolish war. Aides claim his team - with the richest cabinet in United States history and a dozen billionaires - are "patriotic outsiders" even as the system gets tilted even more in favour of this elite and its interests.

Here are 3 ways the current system screws Wales. If politicians are not talking about these issues, they are not serious about fixing Wales' problems. The challenges Wales faces are not because of immigrants, they are because the system of funding we have is set up so that we can’t fail to fail.
