Northern, middle-aged, proud dad, Wigan Athletic fan, just left of centre. I pity those who were conned into Brexit but despise those who still stand by it! Starting again after 10 years of Twitter.

Nigel Farage is a political fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I have my own criticism but the one thing Labour’s getting right is the NHS, waiting lists down, more appointments, better pay, no strikes. Farage would sell the NHS. He’s not a man of the people, he’s a privately educated city boy who laughed as the economy tanked after Brexit. He is a traitor.

I strongly suspect we're going to see a few majority Reform councils in May. And once they've run things for a few months, I predict they'll never run any councils again.

The UK has got to be the only country in the world that is politically held hostage by like 15 newspaper columnists that basically nobody reads

The best way we can fight fascism in the UK over the next few days is to mobilise the largest possible anti-Farage vote in the local elections. In low turnout elections, voter mobilisation campaigns can work. Abstaining put Trump into power Fight Fascism – #Vote4Democracy

Dow Jones down another 2.5% today. 10% on the month. Markets spooked by repeated Trump attacks on Jay Powell and the Fed.

Truss🥬 is in talks with Reform as Farage wants to take on “the Blob”🙄 For Truss it’s an attempt to be relevant And Farage takes the crap the Tories don’t want Anderson, Braverman, Jenkyns etc who excel as talentless❗️ Watch out they’ll target us “anti growth coalition, woke & Deep State” too 😉🙄😂

Nigel Farage thinks most pensioners haven't earned their pension, but ... "... Farage will be accepting £73K a year from his EU Pension from the EU who he despises so much" via Iva Wedgy ps. Farage was 'fined £35,000 after allegedly misspending EU funds', and claimed £17,000 pa "office expenses"

Well done to all countries bar China who have managed to benefit from the 10% ‘Brexit benefit’…

I will never trust a country that thought it was a good idea to elect this ridiculous, malevolent man as its leader.

They celebrated 10% tariff in the UK vs 20% in the EU as a Brexit benefit Now, both UK and EU have the same 10% Poof! The benefit of Brexit is gone

The insider trading of the millenium. The fun part is that he can keep repeating it until markets anticipate it and won't react. At which moment he will keep the tariffs on, still net a gazillion, and even claim that finally tariffs work. Also, correction: not oligarchs who win this time.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

I told you he was a clueless bullshitter… A man educated way beyond his intelligence.

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

Given that just 4.25% of the world's population lives in the United States of America this might be the moment for the 95.75% of the rest of us to leave them to it. Many overseas markets that the UK could be focusing on for example - you know like the fucking enormous one on our doorstep.

We can always count on Farage to play the loyal sidekick.

Who’s the far-right buddy of Nigel Farage that’s been barred from running for office after being found guilty of embezzlement?

Amol Rajan, "What do you think it would take to get this country growing again?" Alan Sugar, "Go back into the European Union" "That's what I would do. If I was in charge, I'd beg to get back in again"

Beyond hypocrisy latest…. Zero-hours MP and full time Trump kiss-arse, Farage, tells Badenoch to stand up for democracy while he grifts for Trump in America and creeps around Musk for some massive democracy-wrecking donation for Reform.

In Trump’s SOTU address, he claims to be chosen by god and says he’ll take Greenland “one way or another”, “reclaim” Panama, impose punitive tariffs, end “wokeness”… A masterclass in wild egomaniacal bullshit and ugly threat, delivered to standing ovations. Christ America. You’ve completely lost it.

😂

Why are the media pretending everything's awful in the UK? Public spending had it's biggest increase since 2000 in the budget (2.2% of GDP) and NHS waiting lists started to drop after 3 months. Ridiculous country full of fifth columnists.

I’m genuinely astonished how many people don’t seem to have ever seen this.

@octopus.energy Hi Octopus, I'm looking to see what my options are after my Dec23 tracker finishes next month but I'm getting an error message (it's been like this all day). Is it just a case of waiting?

OK, my left-of-centre friends, let us see if we can swing the vote in favour of Sadiq Khan; and really upset the Daily Express xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

All my love to my darling followers and anyone who might be having a hard time today ♥️ It’s ok to not be ok. Any time of the year. If you’re having a tough time feel free to vent or chat in the comments. You might be alone physically but you’re not in terms of your situation, remember that.

This year, uncertainties reigned over the world. Europe’s unity was put to the test, once again. Once again, we stood together. On Christmas Day, we can celebrate the strength of our Union. We will tackle the big tasks lying ahead with hope and confidence. Merry Christmas.

Just when you thought you couldn't laugh any more at this genius, today he was sentenced to two years and six months.

Hello Bluesky 👋👋👋👋🐙👋👋👋👋 A lot of customers have asked us to swim our way over here, so we're dipping our tentacles in. Give us a follow, we'll be floating around to chat all things green & geeky, make energy fairer, and own up to van printing disasters:

In case you missed it: The UK will finally find out why a young aid to Boris Johnson was given a peerage. cc: @mrosenbaum.bsky.social

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

The Tories spaffed over £750 Million on a Rwanda deal that sent ZERO people to Rwanda… In other news the Metropolitan Police are making big cuts due to a £450 Million shortfall!

Reform are trying to get me to join them & defect from The Tories. They are offering me: -£6.67 in cash -A chance to itch Andrea Jenkyns. -A topless photo of Nigel Farage. -One of Richard Tice’s pet owls. -A jumbo pack of Custard Creams. -Ann Widdecombe’s yeasts. Should I join?🤔

Tomoz morning am standing in for Laura K 9am BBCOne Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden Shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins Cate Blanchett & director Guy Maddin Labour MP Diane Abbott Chef/campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Conservative peer Craig Mackinlay See u then :)

🤔

Ben Habib has quit Reform just as Angela Jenkyns joined. So the moron quotient of Reform remains unchanged.

Kemi’s mother travelled from Nigeria to the UK to give birth in St Teresa's private hospital before the British Nationality Act 1981 abolished automatic birth-right citizenship for those born in the United Kingdom, and then returned to Nigeria shortly after Badenoch was born.

This from John Niven on Twitter. 🤣

Better still Vote using this link then you don’t have to go onto the Express page. Let me know if anyone finds out how the current vote share is swinging! Link 👇 xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Bloke on Nick Ferrari's show wants a general election because he is suffering under Labour - with vat on school fees, a £1m hike in future IHT and removal of his winter fuel allowance. All 3! HMRC need to have a word with him!

I don't know, have you ever just tried maybe, not being shitty? 🤷‍♂️
