I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne. Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

Yep, he wants nothing but deregulating crypto to help his crypto business and scrapping net zero to help his aviation fuel business. Which by pure coincidence are two of our policies.

Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is. #NeverPM www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-wheels...

“We want growth. We know this is the single best way of getting it… We could then challenge Farage… to either continue with our economic recovery, or to halt it in its tracks and take us backwards.” Finally. Weaken Farage by doing something that actually works. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Emily Thornberry makes an incredibly patronising, smug video on Labour account on Instagram - even by her standards! These Labour ministers with Reform- just can't seem to stop talking about the Green Party. And it's just making membership rise & rise! Join.greenparty.org.uk

This immediately makes me wonder what Rory was like as a teenager…

Great from @roberthutton.co.uk on the Truss clown-car, as she repeatedly drives it into the wall of shame. This time with her own YouTube show. Most of us would have tired of the indelible humiliation by now. Not Liz. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/408...

What traitorous dolts the British rightwing were to oblige Russia and the network of oligarchs who hate the power of EU collaboration and prosperity. Now we find ourselves isolated, the EU weakened and Ukraine being betrayed. Shame on all who paved the way… Farage, you’re front of the queue.

Hugh Grant, "it's been very very depressing watching big tech kidnap children's lives" "And to see children to find it difficult to get interested in anything that isn't a screen" "Swarming around any screen that appears in a room instantly"

"Now say The Black And White Minstrels made you do Nazi salutes and taunt Jews about the gas chambers"

Let me just say something. The idea that in 2025 you should have to volunteer and work for free to provide basic services that should already be provided, in the richest countries in the world, while billionaires become trillionaires. Is poison.

You don't need an investigative journalist to know who is funding work of the Free Speech Union: its a foreign Far Right billionaire called Elon Musk.

Donald Trump's FIFA Peace Prize has been described as pathetic and disgraceful. Which is exactly what it is.

Wait, wait, wait. Why, exactly, is my heart supposed to bleed for this person’s plight of… checks notes… owning a £4m house that they’ll have to pay tax on from 2028 (a tax which can be deferred until they sell)? Am I missing something here?

What Musk really means is that if the EU was no more the power of the individual countries would diminish such that they would be unable to stand up to the likes of him & Trump. Medvedev’s supportive reply is further proof Brexit is a Putin project Musk‘s X has just been fined $140 mill by EU

Summing up the UK govt's budget: Inequalities, profiteering, regressive taxation and neutering of public investment do not provide firm foundations for the economy. We need a Budget for the masses, not just for the super-rich, bond markets and corporations.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JULf...

Basically it looks like weakening democracy by supporting nationalist parties across Europe, and trashing NATO - this is Putin's dream wishlist The US under Trump is tearing apart the global rules based order I prefer closer ties with the EU than with the US under Trump

"She said the position of people of colour in public life in Britain was 'becoming harder by the day', in part due to an 'unbelievably toxic environment in which anything goes' that became normalised during the Brexit campaign in 2016." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage: The House of Lords borders on corruption and needs to go. Also, Farage: welcome Tory scum from the House of Lords. #ukpolitics

Sangita Myska is, of course, absolutely right. And you have to ask, does the indifference of powerful cis white men like Wesley Streeting ('police streets not tweets') speak mostly to how little he is affected?

Little Girl, "My Mommy says you (Nigel Farage) hate foreigners." TV Presenter, "No, no, no little girl you're not supposed to say that!"

I go abroad for a week and return to wall-to-wall melodrama, pearl clutching and fainting sofa flop-downs about a surcharge affecting 1% of homes. Britain's capacity for uncontrolled panic about nonsense remains totally undefeated. I missed you, chaos island.

Nelson Mandela died 12 years ago. In 1995 the UK government rejected his personal appeal to impose oil sanctions on Nigeria after its military regime executed nine environmental activists — as it wanted to protect oil company Shell’s commercial interests. www.declassifieduk.org/revealed-bri...

The no ball peace prize 😁

Why, is he on a cliff?

"What's the plan, Nigel?" "Just try not to look incredibly evil."

A car just passed down my street with Last Christmas at full volume. I fear he plans to eliminate the entire city by the end of the day.

The legacy of Margaret Thatcher is debt, immense debt, more than £10tn. Owed by the Government, owed by Privatised companies, owed by you. Paid out to billionaires in fake profits.

Just for some context - the house mentioned in my post below cost £4,000 to purchase in 1970. If it had changed in value by inflation, its price now would be £55,000. Just saying.

Good morning and happy St Nicholas Day! ✨ A special breakfast to celebrate, with the Manneles I baked yesterday. Wishing you a superb Saturday!

‘It’s from Daddy. He says he’s had a bit of a weird time of late. Apparently he went to a World Cup draw and ended up being presented with some sort of World peace prize…’

Good morning, a pair of lady's slipper orchids to start your weekend ☺️ Have a good Saturday 🙏

Israel are in Eurovision again. It is time for everyone, countries and viewers, to boycott this appalling show.

spotted on Facebook - brilliant

Labour: solving problems that don't exist by doing the most possible harm to a minority, while signal-boosting their main political opponents.

The Bank of England has issued a stark new Financial Stability Report — and beneath the cautious language lies a clear message: the global risk environment has deteriorated sharply. A systemic crisis now looks more like “when” than “if”. youtu.be/NMDdkEZhNbI?...

Left: President Trump wins a faux peace prize from FIFA, putting on his own medal like a winner 🤷‍♂️ Right: The US military allegedly broke intl law by carrying out a second strike on a boat, killing two unarmed survivors clinging to the wreckage for an hour, according to footage seen by US senators

Spent the morning packing chocolate orders. Now heading out to post them before it starts raining again! 🍫✨

It's no coincidence this Labour government, that demonises and impoverishes our disabled community, is also complicit in atrocities abroad. Keir Starmer’s government has enabled genocide in Gaza — and now wants to funnel an extra £11 billion annually to the merchants of death.

Elon loves pretending he’s an expert in science, tech… and Diablo/PoE. But when Linus Torvalds—the father of Linux—had one of Musk’s statements read to him (without knowing it was Musk), he immediately diagnosed him as “too stupid to work at a tech company.” Not bias, just reality. Watch the short 🔻

I think they're colonising Europe now 👀 www.normalisland.co.uk/p/four-europ...

UK Govt urged to close £2bn tax loophole in car finance scandal Law rewards abuse. Non-bank entities can deduct compensation payments from profits before calculating corporation tax, reducing their bill. Motor finance arms of banks are considered “non-bank entities”.

“Je Suis Bernard Manning” is neither the defence nor the justification that Farage thinks it is. From at editorial at the time : “Jokes about beating up “n**gers” and “c**ns” were followed by references to the Asian population of Bradford…” apple.news/ADKqtT_2AR0y...

2025: Elon Musk wants the European Union to be abolished 2016: That time David Cameron reminded us of the benefits of being in the EU including the special op-out status the UK once had The EU union setup is often considered "better" than the US state system in terms of sovereignty and flexibility

Still managed to finish a new batch of sour cherry sherbet truffles today. No real rest planned until the end of the month but I’m holding on!

A good point - my Truss-Catastrofuckup-Surcharge works out to £4,800 a year and I certainly didn’t have Mel Stride or Nigel Farage sprinting to my defence.

Norfolk’s wildlife mystery of the year. A beaver has appeared in the wild on the River Wensum for the first time in 400 years. Somewhere there is a breached beaver enclosure, but none of the nature reserves admit to losing one! Here's the intriguing story ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Being an England cricket fan during the Ashes is almost as bad as being someone interested in US politics at the moment. Every morning you check your phone and go “FFS”

As soon as Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years, and with apartheid still in place, UK officials were lobbying him for their business interests in South Africa, declassified files show. www.declassifieduk.org/business-ove...

Marjorie Taylor Greene tells 60 Minutes that Trump was "furious" that she supported the release of the Epstein files Trump said it would "hurt people" Yahoo: "A prominent reporter familiar with the documents recently said there are 'over 2,000 times that Trump’s name is mentioned'"

Farage was 17. This boy was 9 “He towered over me. ‘Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’ with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away.”

Look at this cutie. 🎄

Historians will look at how far we've fallen, and come to the conclusion that it all began with the rise of Reality TV in the 1990s. Giving huge platforms to people with no real talent or expertise created a unique era – one that soon gave birth to a political movement based on idiocy and ignorance.

I don’t want cinemas to disappear, but the reason I stopped going is simple: people. Between the screaming ones, the constant talking, the phones lighting up, and the followers of the latest stupid Tiktok trends… Until people learn how to behave, it is a big nope for me.

Some folk ask... "Does War and Peace take a long time to read?" Well put it this way, it takes about half the time it took to do the World Cup draw last night. #FIFAWorldCup

Putin, Musk, Trump and Farage all hate the EU and want to see it broken. If that's not a reason to rejoin it and help the EU triumph over fascism, I don't know what is! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Vandalise the Crown Jewels and throwing custard on a glass case are not the same thing. I think it should be the Telegraph being taken to court for blatant lies.

Does that mean that British journalists will finally quit the Nazi site? How about the British Government? Why is it feeding the Nazi site?

The UK government is intensely relaxed about the ongoing imprisonment of Imran Khan by Pakistan, its military ally. By contrast, the UK issued numerous media releases demanding the release of Alexei Navalny in Russia. #DCUKparliament

This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine? When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?

The legacy of Margaret Thatcher. Debt to banks has increased from 50% to 200%. £100,000 per person.

Simply cannot WAIT for the inevitable furious response when all the people who hate ‘mainstream media’ and ‘the establishment’ find out about the most recent donations to the Reform party….

Farage isn't only a racist, but a bully too. And he's continued that behaviour as an adult. He uses his supportsn as a mob to intimidate those who get in his way. Sometimes online, sometimes in the real world. Add that to his dishonesty and corruption, and it makes his utterly unfit for high office

A really important read. It’s time those who seek to lead Wales next May were forced out into the open.

How hard can the public fall? When there is minimal MSM uptake on investigative research into the corporate coup that constitutes free zones, thousands of people are set to lose their homes to compulsory purchase orders because a corporate political model of governance cares only for the elites.

This should go everywhere. Including to Reform voters that we don’t even want to speak to. Better say something now before it’s too late.

The lack of transparency over FIFA’s dealing with Trump is staggering. @thepitchinspection.bsky.social asked FIFA repeatedly about its “peace prize” selection process - we were ignored. 🤦🏻‍♂️ We also asked repeatedly about FIFA’s new office in Trump Tower - we were ignored🤦🏻‍♂️ Plus much more in here ⤵️

This is madness. Lammy has now been told off merely for admitting (very reluctantly) in an interview that the UK would be better off in a Customs Union with the EU, even though he was extra careful not to join the dots to any sort of suggestion that it was Labour policy. archive.ph/2025.12.05-1...

What’s that skippy? You’re disappointed Farage didn’t blame you as well.

Sexist, racist, fascist... Is there any ist that Nigel Farage isnt?
