Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

“A criminal gang headed by Benjamin Netanyahu is committing war crimes in Gaza and must be stopped,” says the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert. Olmert added that Netanyahu is waging war “without goals, clear planning and with no chance of success.” 🇮🇱

A manifesto for ‘adults’ who believe in the tooth fairy. And hate what they don’t understand -which is a lot. Tax cuts paid for by scrapping Net Zero, the EU deal and DEI and deporting asylum seekers to god knows where at no apparent cost. This is ‘tip your country into the bin’ stuff. (The i Paper)

Enjoyed listening to this podcast about a tall, fat, vain leader who betrayed everyone, blamed others for his failures, manipulated the media, facilitated the rise of the far right, and listened to the advice of a notably stupid son. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

🚨🚨" Block all ears to the absurdly anachronistic hullabaloo from the old Brexiters and their hysterical press. Stop the Farage-favouring policies and lean back to Labour’s own side before they vanish altogether." Terrific column by @pollytoynbee.bsky.social on Labour facing down the #brexiteers:

"worth reminding ourselves who is in favour of this deal & who is against it. In favour are all of our allies - the US, NATO, Five Eyes, India. Against it - Russia, China, Iran. Surprisingly, the Leader of the Opposition & Nigel Farage are in that column alongside Russia, China & Iran” Keir Starmer

To those talking about 'Brexit surrender' - talk to this dipshit. He's the one who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, selling out farming & fishing, erecting huge barriers to trade and making everyone worse off. Just because he fancied a bash at being PM. Twat.

GB News : "Brexit is a good thing?" Brexit Fisherman : "It's been a disaster" "But exports?" "Red tape is 100 fold, our main market is the EU" "But EU fisherman?" "They didn't come here" "But charge more?" "They can buy in the EU" "How would you vote?" "I'd vote for Remain in a heart beat"

The position of Reform & the Conservatives is not to try & insulate ourselves from insecurity & reliance on Russia by rapidly growing our home-grown clean energy, but to instead bury ourselves in Putin’s warm embrace Both unpopular and dangerous 👇 www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

A good eg here of changes made during the pandemic taking the slow steps from formal trial to permanent reallocation of street space away from cars and towards people. Great to see. Trials/pilots are a crucial part of demonstrating what reprioritised streets look/feel like & building public support

Farage insists the gov't must put a cap on immigration. But when asked to define his own cap... "I don't know the numbers. Ask me in four years' time. You can play whatever silly games you want." ~AA

The debate around care visas in the political space boils down to people saying stuff like this - we desperately need people. It's a good soundbite but... A significant surge in care visas were issued since 2020 in response to sector demand and yet the problem of shortage has persisted. Why?

Betray's Brexit ?? That's a laugh. The only betrayal associated with Brexit was from the mouths of the liars that supported it, championed it, and campaigned for it.

Certainly true of some of them but let’s not forget that 3/4 have never voted Labour and 1/4 are dangerously, unappeasably far right. It’s a coalition that ranges from the disgruntled to the fascist

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

This is the real news story: Disillusioned Labour votes far more likely to vote Green or Lib Dem (43% and 40%) compared to only 9% shifting to Reform. Share widely to counteract all the misinformation that justifies a further shift to the Right by the gov.

“Starmer needs to start governing. Labour need to stop triangulating and start running the country. They are wasting the term they were given, worrying about a second one. They can do a lot of good, if they stop being terrified of losing power in 2029 and start using the power they have in 2025.”
