"Legal migrant numbers are at a historic low and small boat crossings have halved, yet that didn’t stop anger at asylum seekers spilling on to the streets. "There is no level of migration low enough to satisfy some people. There is, however, a level of migration low enough to make us all poorer."

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

"How many others vote without knowing?' Reform UK's anti-working class policies will make them poorer?? Probably hundreds of thousands And with billionaire paid Reform UK pamphlets full of lies reaching every household it'll take lots face-to-face canvassing to convince them meme via Angel Stroyan

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Watch Al Jazeera now, Contract Killers and the Far Right. Extremely wild and concerning already.

I was on the telly.

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.

I hope you share and this makes people seriously think about our society!

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

The Bjg Time Chatlie account seeking to identify & incite vs RNLI staff as traitors was run by a recruitment consultant in Worcestershire who is a Restore donor & Cromwell Club member. He hss now deactivated the anon troll account after being publicly identifird www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

In addition to being the UK's most Kremlin-sanctioned newspaper, Byline Times has now been banned two years running from both Conservative and Reform UK party conferences. Judge us by our critics, and subscribe to support our work: subscribe.bylinetimes.com @peterjukes.bsky.social

Good advice!! Make noise. It's long. Read it!

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

A new YouGov poll commissioned by Best for Britain found that restoring EU membership is the most popular option for the UK’s relationship with Europe in 628 of GB’s 632 constituencies. The polling suggests that full membership itself is becoming a mainstream preference across the country.

Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit. Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.

Thinktank linked to Reform UK calls for abolition of state pension. Means-testing even though people have paid for it. Proposes abolishing inheritance and capital gains tax; cut corporation tax. Enrich the wealthiest. No means-testing. Chaos and cruelty inevitable.

🤔 Nigel Farage leads a political party. He’s a sitting MP. And he now hosts his own weekly primetime show on GB News. 🚨Broadcasters are required to present news in an impartial manner, without political bias. 👇 Add your name to demand that Ofcom takes immediate action.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

It's that time of year again: annual elections of Council Members for the magnificent National Trust. Should you wish to vote for the Nomination Committee's recommended candidates, they are on page 18 of your booklet. 'Restore' and 'Reclaim' are again in the fray. Votes are due in by 30 October.

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

Apparently it’s because this popped up behind Tice on a timer while he was speaking. So, now they are checking for other protests.

Fun fact - Reform railing against the investigators being a foreign funded group compounds this problem because it confirms that the money they "recieved" was from outside the UK

This is good. Especially good to have Scottish and English systems placed in dialogue with each other. Interest free loans won't appeal to everyone, but pragmatically have significant advantages over the current atrocious and unsustainable system.

Iceland is not in the EU, but it is a member of the Schengen area. It’s also a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and is part of the Single Market, meaning it enjoys freedom of movement with the EU. Good to know that doesn’t impact their independence. Maybe we should try it, Nige.

Rupert Lowe: 'It is a fact that by 2063, white British people will be a minority on current trends. I don't think anyone disputes that.' It is massively disputed and is not remotely a fact, coming as it does from the Matt Goodwin school of demographic analysis (i.e. it's total rubbish).
