This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

There is a lot of misinformation about the UK social security spending. The chart below shows Total UK social security spending as a percentage of GDP, 2013/14 to 2030/31 (spending & forecast) 55% goes to pensioners, the remainder covers everything else. lordslibrary.parliament.uk/welfare-refo...

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏
Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live These men are dangerous

Ignore the right wing media and get the actual FACTS here. Prime Minister @andyburnham.bsky.social’s pledge to end the shocking IPP scandal will see an end to one of the most cruel, inhumane and monumental injustices of the past half-century youtu.be/8mAXVHKRPfc?...

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.
So we have full 2025 immigration stats - Total net down by 2/3rds in 2025 (3/4 from peak) - Small boat arrivals in 2026 down 40%. Asylum backlog down 48%; returns up 9% - Asylum seekers in hotels down 35% (down 48% from peak) YET PUBLIC PERCEPTION 49% think 2025 saw increase; only 16% know it fell

Yup. Absolutely insane and criminal that we are still dependent on fossil fuels. Future historians will scratch their heads and wonder what the hell everyone was thinking... And then just conclude that rich people were happy to get richer... and knew that dumb people would go along with it.
never again want to hear that it’s woke nonsense to want our energy to come from the sun rather than being completely at the mercy of Putin or the IRGC being annoyed
This is where Labour under Starmer score own goals that were easy to stop; they came in saying they would put a stop to all this only to bow to their financial supporters.
It is absolutely vital that we protect our democracy from foreign influence - be it through political donations or on social media. Power ought to lie in the hands of the UK public, not foreign states or individuals.

This 'correction' from @lewisgoodall.com regarding accusations from Reform and the Conservatives that the Greens engaged in sectarianism, deserves to be widely read. #c4news

“I’ve said it time & time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reform candidate Matt Goodwin The ECHR protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support. We are so much better than that. DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM youtu.be/cWWf1mZhlGk?...
