Reform has five MPs, the Green Party has four, and the LibDems have 72 Do you think the media coverage of each of those parties has been proportional to their representation in parliament?

And we have Reform loons like the pea-brained Andrea Jenkyns threatening DOGE-style cuts to local govt…. Would be good to heed the warnings this time, rather than cheer on the ruinous idiocy of their dangerously clueless, vindictive resentments. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Every politician signing any agree agreement with a State who openly murders journalists in the most gruesome of ways is not a person to be trusted. Not for ANY amount of money. Britain is continuously being sold down the river to the highest bidder. Look at the financial institution BlackRock!

The Nazis had their own "Big Beautiful Bill". Officially, it was called The Enabling Act (Ermächtigungsgesetz). But they could just as well have called it "Ein großes, wunderschönes Reichsdiktat" – a bill that gave them total power over the economy, universities, civil service, states and courts.

The media is bending over backwards to humanise the man who mowed down 79 people at Liverpool’s parade. His company’s Twitter account follows Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and Andrew Tate. That tells you everything you need to know.

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

“Musk leaves behind the human wreckage of his professional, intellectual and moral inadequacy. He should be damned for it. Instead, he will simply swan off to whatever his latest project is, where the results will be much the same” See also Johnson, Farage… liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/372...

The media used to give Boris Johnson a free pass for his whole political career. They gave him a free pass during the 2019 general election. Allowed him to swerve questions, interviews and to campaign on a single policy, Nigel Farage is allowed that same free pass.

“The Liz Truss budget was the best since 1986” - #NigelFarage. Farage is a gambler. Given the chance he will gamble with your mortgages & your jobs And just like #LizTruss did - he will lose. Costing us all. He won't bet on working people - he will bet against them.

Indeed I did. He missed the Brexit reset debate & had his trotters up in Nice last week despite the scheduled recess being this week. I predicted that a lucrative US trip would turn out to be the reason. Call me Nostradamus.

Nigel Farage is an empty vessel offering nothing except massive profits for billionaires and destruction of the few Public Services we have left. All that comes out of his mouth are populist lies.
