The political comedian Daniel Hannan just never lets up with his brilliant satire of hard Brexiteer fanatical free market anti-state dogma. All showing their lack of self-reflection or any sense of responsibility for the damage such a politics has inflicted upon the UK.

Kemi Badenoch really cares abt the victims of grooming gangs. When it involves her bashing the Labour government opportunistically. NOT it seems when she could do something about it in government including as minister for women. So the evidence says. #PrivateEye

As Scotland's self-appointed ambassador to the UN points out himself he did stand for George Galloway's Workers Party in last year's election. This when Galloway was pro-unionist & anti-independence. Clearly party politics are not cut out for such folk.

Daniel Hannan: a man who maybe should back away from future forecasting & political commentary. But has all the skills required in the UK to be a legislator for life accountable to no one.

The #AbolishHolyrood gang would have to call a referendum to ever win their case which would be a collosal waste of time given they would lose big time. And if per chance they won they would make Scottish independence inevitable.

Funny enough I really don't trust the analysis of Alastair Campbell on the West's neverending wars in the Middle East & the fraudulent cases made continually to go to war & invade countries in the region.

Where next for Starmer's Labour authoritarianism? Goaded & encouraged by Tory & Farage authoritarianism. After banning Palestine Action who is next? Just Stop Oil? And the inexorable march towards compulsory ID cards in a UK state where we have ZERO fundamental rights?

The UK Govt will not say whether Israel is breaking international law in Gaza. Nor will it say if it believes the US attack on Iran broke international law. But the UK Govt is happy to assist Israeli attacks on Gaza via RAF planes from Cyprus.

The current Tory message seems to be help us clear up the mess of the UK that the Tories created. Until last year the Tories were in office for 32 out of the past 45 years (71% of the time 1979-2014). 1/2

Labour & Tory are in deep trouble & decline. But we should talk abt PEAK Reform. Despite Lab & Tory problems there is a ceiling on Reform support for now of 30%. Which they won't get at an election. Why? Because Farage & Reform are not POPULAR either. Politics is a plague on all your houses.

Farage and Reform have been out in force today peddling eye-catching, simplistic policies: all to aid huge tax cuts to the super rich. Today: the Britannia Card. The last Britannia Card was the Britannia Music Club which went bust.

George Galloway used to be pro-Scottish self-determination: "Scotland's right to self-determination includes the right to decide how to exercise that right. To deny it would be to say that of all the nations of the world today we had no national right to self-determination." Radical Scotland, 1983.

The shameless nature of the charlatan Boris Johnson. Why was Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in prison so long? Because Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary carried on like the blustering bullshit merchant he is who cares not one iota for detail, diplomacy or others.

The inexorable march of authoritarianism, attack on freedom & free speech continues apace in the UK. A watershed moment in which those self-declared tribunes on the right who say they are pro-free speech such as the Free Speech Union are silent or complicit. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Not exactly #BBC public service broadcasting at its finest. As the Israel-US-Iran conflict deepens #PoliticsLIve has NOT one foreign policy expert among its four guests. And has Sarah Vine plugging her terrible book 'How Not To Be A Political Wife' (which I have sadly read).

The post-war decline of UK PM popularity. From the highs of Churchill, Macmillan, early Wilson & early Blair to the seismic lows of Brown, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak & now Starmer (who is less than a year in but going low quickly). There is a long-term trend of decline.

"If the US intervenes, the international order will crumble further. If the US does not intervene the international order will crumble. The 'international order', like the so-called 'international community', is an ideological construct constantly redefined to suit the policies of the West."

This is an overstatement of Starmer's Labour & their intent & scale of victory in 2024. Starmer's Labour at best could have called time on Tory incompetence & dogma. But they have failed on the first & have no story, values or project on the second. Hence they been eaten by the right-wing machine.

At this moment of international crisis Kemi Badenoch offers uncritical support to Israel for its ongoing war crimes, genocide & war with Iran. This is not leadership in the UK national interest but a blank cheque to Netanyahu.

The impotence of the UK govt on display after the attack on Iran. Govt minister Jonathan Reynolds refuses to say whether the UK govt sees the American attack as legal or illegal. This is a UK govt which has abdicated its role on the international issues of the day. #bbclaurak

Labour, Tory & Reform leaders are all supporting Trump's attack on Iran. All signing up for the war party & giving unconditional support to US & Israeli attacks. Who will speak for the vast majority of UK citizens who oppose the West's neverending wars in the Middle East?

Andrew Neil got 1.7 million views just asking questions about whether this bonkers conspiracy theory was true. When given the answers, he got 200k views for noting it was 'Twitter bollocks peddled by numpties'. He then took credit for 'discrediting' the conspiracy, not amplifying it!

Why do the BBC treat Farage & Reform differently from all other political parties & perspectives? No other perspective get this special treatment to supposedly earn back their trust. Never happened on Scottish independence, Irish republicanism or the Greens. Why Reform?
