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-...

I once sat down in a Chinese restaurant with my date, who was Chinese, and a waitress saw us from across the room and wordlessly sprinted over to shove a knife and fork in front of me. Some scars never heal. 😢

My house is on the flight path of a Hospital for incoming emergencies by air. As the helicopter circles to prepare for landing I stand perfectly still and offer a salute like a 5 star general honouring the latest casualty to be collected like I am in the jungle in Vietnam.

£300,000+ a year.

The abhorrent racism aside, Burnham is right that there is something quite desperate about Reform's recent activity. See also Zia 'white people are the biggest victims of racism' Yusuf's recent posts

Look, let’s not diss “I once banged someone from there”. If a strong centrist party emerges from the UK’s realignment, then this spurious connection gives me an “in” in six of what would likely be their safest seats.

generationally good "if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike" comment there

absolutely fuck this sideways so hard a fucking kidney pops out

Can't believe I forgot to celebrate Justin Webb Day yesterday. Must have been distracted by all that normality in America

If shock troops were firing tear gas at random people in Walthamstow all day then, yes, I do think I'd find it within myself to deploy the five or six clicks of a mouse that would be necessary to order a gas mask online, yeah.

This country's ability to rinse the young and then berate them as lazy avocado addicts is ridiculous. They're so up against it, it's madness. - as.ft.com/r/094f3968-1...

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

once again this just reads like a horror story

How it started ... How it's going

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

perfect piece www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

finally, we're living through precedented times

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Tax breaks for foreign millionaires but mass deportations for the rest. Huge austerity and NHS cuts, replacing NHS with insurance model, scrapping NetZero, workers’ rights and online safety act. And a trade war with the EU. Reform: Corrupt. Ruinous. Racist. Moronic. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Merry Christmas!

A very important thread for your enjoyment.

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.” * read on for similar insults from around the world (a thread)…

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

But the good news is, by doing this, we defeated racism in the UK.

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This year I’m doing something different - I’m only going to talk about this one appeal. Please donate at the link here if you possibly can, or share this to beat the far right vigilante groups 👉 www.justgiving.com/campaign/tog...

Spoke to CNN about how far allegations about Nigel Farage's teenage racism might or might not have a political impact on Reform's electoral prospects edition.cnn.com/2025/12/04/e...

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament

This is not just John Birch Society stuff. It's worse than that and that kind of dangerous language should have absolutely no place in British politics. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"We will call the 12th month of the year 'December'... which means 'tenth month.'"

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

@profanity.accountant Okay, I'm game

Budget 2025: This is how you lose the world iandunt.substack.com/p/budget-202...

I find it horrifying how many people support the two-child benefit cap, knowing that it forces children to live in poverty. Sometimes the voters are morally dreadful and you need to ignore them

Reform's policy is mass deportations - but they're moaning about a larger number of people leaving the country? Are they sad that they won't get to lock them up and thump them first? It's much cheaper if they leave voluntarily! (also the main factor here is the *bigger* drop in numbers *arriving*)

That is a huge drop. Huge. Starmer will now play the 'look-what-we-achieved' politics of this brilliantly, everyone will calm down, sensible immigration policies will emerge, and Farage will disappear. Narrator: 'Meanwhile on Planet Earth....'

If you have used a racist term and need somone with backward views to defend you, Nigel Farage is your man.

Our conversation about immigration is framed entirely on Nigel Farage’s terms. Labour has completely capitulated the ground to the far right, the racism & the hate. We no longer have a conversation AT ALL about how we need immigration & when we cut it, we pay the price. #r4today

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Farage came out with his worst shit 50 years ago, whereas Matt Goodwin is just getting going at age 43.
