BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

What’s so moving about the election results in Brazil & Serbia & global student protests is you think you’re alone wanting things to be different & then suddenly you realise the young generation has got this . They are outmanoeuvring unhinged wealth & power , we have so much to learn from them .

The comments made by Nigel Farage about Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) are complete bull****! The £200bn figure he uses has no basis in reality and is unsupported by any reliable data - and he knows it. If UK news shows won’t call this boll**** out let’s do it ourselves youtu.be/RNno57MA4As?...

Reform Party’s private little vigilante mob in Essex is already breaking the law. Instead of ‘protecting teen girls’, they assaulted them and handcuffed them, which Essex police described as a clear case of illegal restraint.

Another scalp, thanks to our allies in NYC. This guy posted in response to a British political thread. We spotted it. That was his first mistake, and last. Passed to our US friends, ID'd as an upstate NY High School Sports Coach, in Albany. School informed.

"ITV spent a year investigating Reform UK, secretly filming councillors and candidates making racist, misogynistic and deeply offensive remarks. And somehow, some people's biggest concern is that ITV had the audacity to broadcast it." via The Daily Scar Inside Reform ... www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Who amongst us hasn't been provoked into saying black people are animals and the King is a secret Muslim who should be decapitated?

Letter printed in The Times today

Any Reform supporter: "the root cause of every single problem in this country is immigration." Any Conservative supporter: "we will fix every problem in this country, welfare cuts will fund everything." Any sane person: "...oh do fuck off."

100% this.

Teach the Facts.

The media is full of Farage will do this, Farage will do that. Who gives a fuck? He is leader of a tiny party that is 3rd in the polls and slipping. Totally crass political propaganda

Jolly good. Shame it came via personal attacks for crews.

Arresting RNLI volunteers and impounding their boats, is it, you walking scrotum-sack of a man?

A lifeboat crew responds to a call and finds a dingy in distress full of migrant men, women and children. Do they leave or rescue them? No-one with a shred of humanity would turn round and head back.

Vaun is not only a very funny actor (he plays Tom Cruise on Vic and Bob) but a very loyal supporter of my work and I hope that the RHLSTP community of fans will help him out with this. We all need to look after each other. No one else will! www.gofundme.com/f/buy-a-mobi...

Apparently the GOP has been wheeling the remains of Mitch McConnell out for meetings where they need him to vote, but he clearly isn't capable of rational thought. How is this ok? @jefftiedrich.bsky.social #ThisIsAmerica

Russian oligarch and close personal friend of Putin Umar Kremlev secretly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars toward Donald Trump Jr’s May wedding in the Bahamas, ProPublica reports. Kremlev and several other Russians were among the 50 guests.

Reform hoped for a reset. Instead, financial shenanigans & violence in conference hall dominated headlines. Masked protesters, attacks on police & threats against RNLI staff – why did it take so long for govt to respond? The answer may be more politically uncomfortable than the disorder itself.

A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

Whitby. I liked it. Cheerful, busy, boisterous. People having a good time, and then there's that haunting ruin on the headland, not even English Heritage can neuter that. And pleasingly remote, it takes three hours to get here by train from Sunderland, you can get to London in less time than that.

It's nonsense to suggest that people who support Brexit and Reform are motivated by racism. And if you don't believe me, check out this perfectly reasonable tweet by prominent Reform member and former mayoral candidate, Arron Banks.

WOW wow wow Keep going folks

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

A ferry across the Mersey anyone? Not me though, not at £26 a go!

BBC interviews foreign sec & says "if we make Israel a pariah on the international stage, we stir the pot, we increase risk of antisemitism on our streets". The argument is deeply flawed while Israel commits war crimes on a daily basis. We can and must call this out without being antisemitic.

Excellent and timely piece, a reminder of the facts and structure of the RNLI by @bearlypolitics.co.uk A society cannot not be run by bullying tactics and misinformation. The best of a country is shown by who volunteers to help others because of their plight rnli.org/support-us/g...

And he's right about this: there's no security for Israel until there is security for Palestine. That the Starmer government could never utter such simple truths, but instead treated the Palestinian cause as yet another means of attacking the Labour left, is one of the many reasons why he had to go.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

These heroic volunteers save the lives of people at sea no matter who they are! Don’t let anyone dehumanise those seeking sanctuary.

It won’t stop these reprehensible, cowardly pieces of shit attacking the RNLI, but here is a handy link to donate rnli.org/support-us/g...

Alice the A30 update coming at 6pm tomorrow! (Tuesday) Just realised that there are exactly 50 years between this pair. Blimey.

With Bayeux Tapestry mania mounting, I thought it worth pointing out that my book about the Norman Conquest begins with a description of the famous embroidery and explains why it's uniquely important. You can read it for free here: shorturl.at/vjjay

The sympathetic coverage of the thugs in Dover and Portsmouth is pitiful. The doxxing of the RNLI volunteers is beyond disgraceful and invalidates any claim that these thugs have a valid point.

Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised

How could an associate professor in divinity at Cambridge be expected to know that lying is bad? thecritic.co.uk/mone...

“In a meeting over oysters and wine in his Clacton constituency, Mr Farage… said the polling was “amazing” and provided “bang for buck” adding “It worked. Boom.” Corrupt polling. Corrupt funding. Nigel Farage - prison James Orr - prison Dan Jukes - prison channel4news.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
