Another Reform councillor arrested. @josiah.writes.news www.northwichguardian.co.uk/news/2527594...

ICYMI - Observer yday (via Politico): Lib Dem MP Chris Coghlan was denounced by his Roman Catholic priest before his congregation and banned from communion for supporting assisted dying observer.co.uk/news/politic...

No doubt that at least one of these photos will be used in election leaflets- although not by the Tories, unless they are even dimmer than hitherto.

Halton and Runcorn leaders are not happy with their new Reform MP. The local Crime Commissioner and two Halton councillors have taken aim at Runcorn MP Sarah Pochin, saying her string ‘incorrect and critical’ outbursts about the town are stoking fear. northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/hal...

A council department in Thurrock called NATIS obtained a .police.uk domain, issued ‘warrant cards’, and operated nationally – without ever being part of UK policing. JJ Jackson’s investigation reveals how.

Daily Telegraph printing truth abt Brexit & immigration. This will cause some right-wing heads to explode: "EU: Brexit to blame for Britain’s migrant crisis."

Most Labour MPs are new, often with small majorities They want to make their mark, and with an eye on keeping their seat they are more likely to be guided by their voters than the demands of the whips.

That noise you hear is a resounding raspberry from the 2024 cohort of Labour MPs, who have remembered what they came into parliament for. @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social

Their home country is being bombed by Russia on a daily basis. The Home Office seems to be unaware that bombs actually kill. This is all part of the hostility towards migration created by the Tories and maintained by Labour. It needs to stop. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Nigel Farage was spotted on a flight to Abu Dhabi yesterday. You would think it being Friday, the MP for Clacton might be in, well, Clacton. #AnywhereButClacton

Reform UK’s Leader in Worcestershire Jo Monk appears to have no answers. After claiming the previous administration (that she was part of) spent irresponsibly she was asked: “If you’re going to make that statement can you please list the spending you regard as irresponsible?”

#ReformParty #Clacton #Farage #Clacton needs to know about this. The residents are probably completely unaware of his failure to represent them.

Agro-forestry: they called it mad. Now it’s government policy. From lentils to frangipane, Wakelyns is quietly transforming British farming – & serving some of the best cakes in Suffolk. Kate Viscardi on how a family farm became a model for the future. eastangliabylines.co.uk/lifestyle/cu...

Weird local by-election 'Crediton Lawrence Ward' today "Surprisingly Conservatives haven't found anybody to contest in the Shadow Chancellor's constituency! "... so Reform UK's Andy Hankins is the only other candidate here versus the lib Dem" !!! andrewspreviews.substack.com/p/previewing...

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

Farage is now describing Reform's policies as aspirations. Policies are what you are going to do. Aspirations are what you would like to do, but know you won't do because you can't fund them.

This could only be Reform UK. What a shower! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The real Opposition!

Farage admits he is "not clever enough" to answer questions about the hit to the UK's economy when challenged about the impact to hard working UK taxpayers after experts warn Reform’s latest madcap scheme could wipe a massive £34billion from tax revenues. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s Independence Day! Did the Brexit predictions come true? 🙄

Facts have no role in manufactured outrage. But what would Reform be without manufactured outrage?

Proof that he needs the training. Meanwhile, Durham CC is stuck with him.

'9 years exactly since the disastrous referendum in which Britain voted to leave the EU. It is a day etched on my memory as an act of monumental self-harm.' Michael Heseltine @europeanmovement.co.uk @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social @peterstefanovic.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Hutton-le-hole and Thornton Dale don't even get mentioned. Maybe that's proof that there are so many "picture-perfect" villages in Yorkshire - but I would have expected both to be in your list.

🚨 “Not For EU” Label. Check your asparagus. 🇲🇽 Mexican asparagus in @sainsburys may be grown with pesticides banned in the EU, including carbofuran and paraquat. 🥵 No EU label = No EU safety standards. 🇬🇧 Post-Brexit, UK rules are weaker. 🧪 Lower testing. Less traceability. More risk.

Britain must stay out of this insane war. We should provide no assistance whatsoever to the US or Israel, in any form. inews.co.uk/opinion/brit...

Details of the Reform's shenanigans in Devon. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🫠Reform appear to be in meltdown in Exeter. 😳Two councillors reported to the police. 😲Local Party chair sacked. Wherever Reform UK goes, chaos follows and local residents lose out.

They do pick 'em - but she will still be on the ballot paper as the Reform candidate. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

HUMILIATED by ex-teacher's question about 'awful case' of bad maths Labour's Adam Thompson and Angela Rayner poked fun of Nigel Farage after the Reform leader claimed to have unearthed £7billion of savings when the real figure was 250 times lower www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

There are manifold reasons for scrapping First Past the Post, and replacing it with a fair system of proportional representation. electoral-reform.org.uk/whats-wrong-...

Anywhere but Clacton - especially if there is press coverage or money to be had.

“In 2003 Liberal Democrats lead the campaign against the Iraq war. “Can the Government confirm that, if President Trump joins the war between Israel and Iran, today’s Labour government will not blindly follow the US into war again?” @LibDemDaisy.bsky.social

Imagine publishing a thread so riddled with errors that The Bear turns up with a calculator, a council ledger and a raised eyebrow. This is a forensic takedown of ReformUK's political theatre that's targeted at local government.

“If you want to cut waste, show your working.” Reform UK thrives on manufactured outrage, but real efficiency takes spreadsheets, not slogans. The Bear forensically unpacks their fake accountability. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
