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.

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us. Because the shame has to switch sides.

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Rupert Lowe being an outright fascist on #r4today He calls his ignorant, Islamophobic white-nostalgia bile “common sense thought” (“not rightwing thought”). With an ego bloated by Musk’s support of him on X, it seems unlikely that he and Farage would be able to make a pact. Small mercies… (iPaper)
Restore Reform pact unlikely, as ‘Farage simply can't be trusted'

Extract

Bad blood will prevent rival leaders uniting in long term, insiders insist

Sitting in his living room, Rupert Lowe made a bold offer on Sunday to his former boss turned bitter
enemy, Nigel Farage.
"Nigel, my message is simple," the Restore Britain leader intoned in a video on X, which has racked up 4.6 million views. "If you are prepared to work together around serious policies, serious reform and serious government, then so are we"
It came after his fledgling party again did better than expected in the Manchester mayoral election picking up 9 per cent of the vote.

Not enough to have seen a united party of the hard right beat Labour but enough to do serious damage to Reform at a general election.
A day later, Nigel
Farage (inset) delivered his response. "If it was the offer of a deal, it came in a very unusual way," he said. "I have responded to it potentially with an open mind, but I'm certainly not going to be ditching people who I view to be allies and a great asset."
In short, no headlong rush into negotiations, but a door seemingly left ajar.
Despite these overtures, insiders in both Reform and Restore think that the bad blood between Farage and Lowe will prevent them from uniting in the long-run.
Within Reform, the view is that Lowe sprang his offer on Farage with the purpose of embarrassing him and eliciting a rebuff.
A Reform councillor said:
"If there was ever any sort of approach to be had, it's done in private, it's done quite often initially through intermediaries.

Agreement on immigration belies differences in other areas, with Reform insiders dismissing a number of the items Lowe mentioned in the video as too extreme.
Lowe demanded "the banning of both halal and kosher slaughter"
He also said he wants a capital punishment referendum.
Lowe named several criminals residing in British prisons.

The prospect of retrospective death penalties was too much even for some Reformers.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

A man describes in perfect English how he escaped torture by the Taliban. He explains why he wants to come to the UK “because I speak English”. It’s quite simple. He believes neither France nor Germany will help him. He knows the risk of death. He needs a safe, regulated route. #r4today

Mishal Husain’s last day on #r4today this morning. She’s the best of their presenters by far in my opinion. Capable of balance, & of rigorous, devastating interviews, without ever getting shrill, or hectoring & speaking over her interviewees. A real loss for the BBC.

Staggeringly obnoxious entitlement from American, Stephen Moore (Heritage Foundation) on #r4today… Greenland referred to as a great “piece of property” with “very valuable resources” for the US to acquire. The world as a monopoly board with America demanding it gets to buy whatever it wants.
