'So we've heard the concerns of the Jewish community about standing a convicted neo-Nazi anti-semite as a local candidate and decided to give him a national job instead...'
She won’t be so blasé about it when he starts advocating replacing disabled parking bay signs with swastika’s
James Austin@jamesdaustin.bsky.social · 18h agoThis 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
The weapons grade arrogance displayed by Reform representatives, such as Laila Cunningham & Zia Yusuf, who appear to think another sovereign nation should dance to their tune #newsnight
Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
Yeah, it’s almost as if they’re pathologically dishonest charlatans
Lizzie Dearden@lizziedearden.bsky.social · 3d agoFor days, Reform politicians claimed that significant numbers of migrants who surged into Ceuta would be heading to Calais and onwards to Britain Not only have most already returned to Morocco, but Moroccans have made up just 0.07% of small boat arrivals since 2021 inews.co.uk/news/no-thou...
Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.
The stranglehold the rightwing and far right have on our politics is absurd. Not a single policy or idea that benefits the country. A wild aversion to tax, immigration, NetZero, the EU.. trapping us in a dismal dead-end, unable to make progress for fear of the DailyMail demographic losing its shit.
Concerns over how little forced labour we have??
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 2w ago🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump has imposed a 10% import tariff on the UK and other countries over forced labour concerns
Nigel Farage's approval ratings have now sunk even lower than Keir Starmer's before he resigned, yet we're still being encouraged to believe he has some kind of magic connection with the British public
Farage can *never* be PM. His greed and needy vanity make him an enormous national security risk. He has no clue how to behave with dignity or probity. The day he gets booted out of public life for good cannot come soon enough. If Clacton has its wits about it, it could be in less than a month.
Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social · 2w agoLarry the cat's commitment to public service remains strong.
Tories, Farage and the tantruming tabloids whining about Burnham needing a mandate and the country needing an election… just get in the bin. Your histrionics over the last decade have caused this instability and perma-outrage. A bunch of entitled inadequates unable to accept Labour being in power.
It's fascinating to watch commentators who sat completely silently for a decade as the Conservative Government changed its leader four times in a row mid-term, now suddenly discover such a keen interest in the concepts of 'mandates' and 'legitimacy'
They claim half time shows are a bit of a tradition in America But so are mass shootings And I don’t care for either #halftimeshow #worldcupfinal
"Overall carbon emissions have increased" in the UK, because of Net Zero, Kemi Badenoch repeatedly tells the BBC, to no pushback. Just completely untrue
If anyone shows just how very far the Tory Party has fallen as a political entity, it’s Tory MP Matt Vickers - who was part of the weird 2019-intake and is now the deputy party leader He’s currently being easily ripped apart by Lewis Goodall on #LBC
Former Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg calling for a General Election The same Jacob Rees-Mogg who never called for one when the Tory Party went through 3 Prime Ministers in less than 2 months #bbclaurak
If Jacob Rees-Mogg thinks Labour are “condescending” just wait until he finds out about arrogance personified, Kemi Badenoch #bbclaurak
“I’m not afraid of interviews” says Kemi Badenoch who then went on to avoid answering a question three times #bbclaurak
Jacob Rees-Mogg currently complaining about condescension Irony just died on live TV #bbclaurak
The man complaining about devolution of power to the regions as “vacuous” is the same bloke who thought one of the main benefits of the Brexit he pushed, would be the return to imperial measurements #bbclaurak
The people who Are now telling told you to vote you to vote for for this man this man #trevorphillips #bbclaurak
The bloke who told you Brexit would make the country better in every possible way is now claiming we’ll become something akin to South Sudan, Yemen and Chad within the next 10 years
The shamelessness of a political party which is led by a man who just weeks ago called for "pure cold rage" on the streets, shortly before migrants were literally burnt out of their homes, now accusing their opponents of "stochastic terrorism" against them, is quite something
Today’s #PMQs shows just how performative the anger, the braying, the caustic remarks are most Wednesdays It shows it can actually be done with civility & decorum and still elicit scrutiny of the government. More of this might start easing the febrility in politics
Reform UK's Zia Yusuf is currently delivering a speech accusing his party's critics of using language that will put his colleagues' lives at risk. In other news, here's Zia Yusuf two months ago
This moment asked so little from them. All they had to do was pay their respects, express their sadness and join the chorus of horror about the manner of Widdecombe’s death. But even that was evidently beyond their moral capacity inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...
Farage just can't stop himself behaving abysmally, can he?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Reform and their supporters now trying to reframe all journalistic scrutiny of them as being dangerous political attacks, bordering on terrorism. A preview of what we could expect from a Reform government
Nigel Farage will soon be the least popular political party leader in the UK by some margin. The confidence trick isn't working any more www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-nigel-...
