With Nigel Farage setting up his own Reformer newspaper, I thought it might be fun to make The Real Reformer which updates daily with great news stories about Reform UK PLC… therealreformer.co.uk

Every aspect of Farage's political history needs close inspection for corruption ... "Transparency International EU calls for investigation into Nigel Farage Brexit campaign use of EU funds" transparency.eu/transparency...

500,000,000 you say RFK, isn't it wonderful that we have a system of numerals to express such a number. I wonder where that came from.

America, 2026

Followers will know I'm far from an uncritical Andy Burnham or Labour fan. But as Prime Minister of an actual government, with a huge majority, I'd say he has more of a mandate than a part-time MP leading a bunch of racist malcontents forever falling out with each other! Wouldn't you?

And algebra is literally an Arabic derived word 1550s, from Medieval Latin algebra, from Arabic "al-mukhtasar fi hisab al-jabr wa al-muqabala" ("the compendium on calculation by restoring and balancing").

And it's called algebra for a reason!

True, but we call them “Arabic” because Europeans learned the system from North African mathematicians.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Arabs helped save science during the European Dark Ages. I wonder who'll save US science during its new dark age, which MAGA seem to be hell bent on bringing about. And how long before they renounce Arabic numerals? Best start teaching computers how to calculate in Roman numerals!

I honestly was not sure if this was a new or recycled allegation, which says a lot about our President.

When you fill up your tanks with diesel, 🇺🇸, just think of it in terms of gallons of Ukrainian blood. Because that’s where 🇺🇸 💵 will go. Into Putin’s war machine, his “human safari” as 🇷🇺 military bloggers are calling the hunting down of Ukrainian citizens. Babies. A gift to Russian propaganda too

He says it like it’s a bad thing.

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

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

60 days after Trump pardoned him, convicted Honduran narco ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández was recorded discussing a US destabilisation plot targeting Mexico, he said the operation was backed by Republicans linked to the Trump administration.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

What really upsets me about this - and I’m well past the point of thinking it’s incompetence - is that we’re actually paying for this. We’re paying for our national broadcaster to - quite intentionally and deliberately - promote a right wing political party. What the fuck is Lisa Nandy doing?

“SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!”

Presumably they've not given Davey a live slot for comment?

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

Take a moment to remember what we promised Brexit would deliver: a well-funded NHS, less immigration, more jobs, flourishing businesses with no red tape, easy to get on the housing ladder, boom time for farming, fishing and steel industries... I do hope you're enjoying it.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Brazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

In his Daily Mail column today, describing Trump as "toast," Richard Littlejohn mocks the President's attempted annexation of Greenland as being mad, using the phrase "nurse!" Here's what Littlejohn wrote about it when Trump first suggested it

To be honest, any sort of dance floor is a no-go zone for me.

The warzone that is King's Cross Station at 10pm. Oh the humanity. I expect 15 Tweets before bedtime saying how you can't venture out on London's streets in safety after sunset.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brexit voter in Makerfield tells Beth Rigby, "Everything seemed better when we were in the European Union. Boris Johnson just convinced everyone that we would be so much better off, didn't he" Another says he didn't make the right choice to vote for Brexit because Brexit ended FOM
