I think this pretty much sums up the 'how things are going' on the flag botherer side #Reform #Farage 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 After the coming English winter I expect remaining flags to be even more soggy, tattered and definitely not worth £5Million (Unrelated to any donation by an offshore crypto guy...).

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

“The ass-man-in-chief says his fixation with Ohio’s second-ranking senatorial caboose is just a one-off.”

Empathy and kindness are so needed in the world we now live in 🫶

Quietly chucking about when the New Republic held a reader competition to submit the most boring headline ever. Loving "Worthwhile Canadian Initiative." Or this Wisconsin classic, “Economist Dies”. Does remind me of early Onion efforts 😊. www.futilitycloset.com/2026/10/19/s... (H/T @boingboing.net)

Russia spent years telling Ukrainians to accept missiles, occupation and destroyed homes.Now a tiny fraction of that fear reaches Russia and suddenly they hate the war And unlike Russia, we are not targeting civilians. We are targeting the military and infrastructure that keeps Russia’s war running

If you live in the UK and hate what Trump is doing in the USA, be aware that Farage wants to do the same thing here.

😒😒😒

Farage 'joked' about school racism claims and Reform councillor said he'd 'carry out executions at No 10', new documentary reveals www.lbc.co.uk/article/fara...

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

Question: why isn't BBC Radio4 news this morning following up on this Russian 🇷🇺 interference bombshell? www.itv.com/news/2026-10... #Brexit #Russia #FriendsOfNigel

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

Rain today makes me feel our future is heading towards "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". Just waiting for a floating ad platform to pass me, advertising "off-world colonies". Heard that Ridley Scott's skyline was inspired by the (Now former) industrial chemical plants near Redcar NE England.

Apple has warned me about possible hypertension. They didn't exclude headlines like this nonsense from the Torygraph to protect me: Listening to BBC R4's Today gave me an alternative view of banning fried food from schools. Didn't recall force feeding lentils 🤦🏻

When the media tells you the UK is overrun by foreigners or Muslims or immigrants , they are lying to you .

MSNOW aired the part of the Talarico interview that Fox isn’t showing: REPORTER: …you said ‘there are 6 biological sexes.’ Do you still believe that? TALARICO: I think the reason that politicians… across the street want to talk about 6 sexes is because they don’t want to talk about $6 diesel.

Finally they came for the Daily Mail and my irony meter just packed up and left and I never heard from it again.

For the First Time since January 2025, Reform Do NOT Lead with a Single Pollster (6-week cut-off):

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

Outstanding memery about the f*ckwitery in Dover, via Reddit:

I *knew* when I heard the Channel4 report on Reform's [additional] dodgy financial dealings I'd read about the name James Orr before. When I re-opened the tab, I didn't expect to be greeted by Palantir Co-Founder Peter Thiel. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/palantir-c...

If Barack Obama had done this, every Sunday show would have talked about nothing else.

Let’s just call it Lake Natalie so we know you’ll start protecting our Great Lakes.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

A tad blunt, but then there's not much subtle coming from Reform:

So many of Reform's woes can be explained with reference to Patrick O'Flynn's description of Nigel Farage: 'snarling, thin-skinned, aggressive'.

"Robert Jenrick attempted to pin the nation's water supply worries squarely on Labour, only to be hit with a swift, brutal reality check pointing out who was actually in government for the preceding fourteen years" via The Poke+1

Are butterflies really just more colourful moths?

A brief note for Nadhim Zahawi.

What is The Telegraph going to write about now?

Honestly thought Count Binface had won when I read that 🤡 was not showing up for the results *sighs* but no evil triumphs... again.

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Trump’s “catering cart” is the new covfefe. 😭 He will not shake this escape… (reenactment)

The first thing Nigel Farage has done after being re-elected as MP for Clacton was to not visit Clacton to hear the results and making some pathetic excuse. At least he’s consistent I suppose! Now, about this parliamentary investigation in to his failure to declare his dodgy finances …
