Nathan Gill, 51, ex UKIP, ex Brexit Party, and the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, has been charged with nine bribery offences after an investigation led by the Metropolitan police’s counter-terrorism command. It gets better apple.news/AZFUaz-S1REu...

🤷🏼‍♀️

Liz Truss the failed PM who crashed the British economy has morons for legal advisers who should cease and desist looking like a bunch of sad amateurs in my view. Truss crashed the economy-her lawyers crashed any residual respect for the legal profession. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/liz-tr...

Kemi Badenoch, "The child sexual abuse scandal is one of the worst scandals in British history" Nadine Dorries, "I can assure you, the entire time I was in cabinet, this was never discussed"

This is the standard of political behaviour which the Conservative Party has embroiled itself in. This sewer of racial hatred, paranoia, lies and violent extremism. This sickening pantomime. They are forming a de facto alliance with fascist street thugs inews.co.uk/opinion/the-...

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Trickle update…

Does anybody know which firm of lawyers is acting for Truss in the crashgate affair? They are usually really keen to be named in well publicised cases.

Liz Truss doesn't want people saying she crashed the economy. So I won't.

Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy. In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

Liz Truss is going to be ever-so-cross when she finds out what I've been doing with the free speech she insists on supporting.

You would have had to be Nostradamus to foresee this.

Reasons given for Boris Johnson peerages ‘inadequate’, campaigner says

You should read this analysis. It is clear, concise and written so that virtually anybody can understand it. If you don't follow its author, you should. He was consistently one of the best things on Twitter and amassed a huge following accordingly.

Absolute garbage of a headline - what just happened is that a bill to protect vulnerable young people was voted through www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Who, like me, suspects this was a failing school on its last legs, which has just been given the ultimate get out clause to escape any blame for being simply too crap to survive. www.msn.com/en-gb/money/...

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X. The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff. Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

The idea that *facts* being checked, with cited sources etc are biased, tells you everything you need to know about where the modern Right are. They like lies, they like obfuscation and chaos. They don’t want to be challenged with the truth or reality. They’re actually completely gone.

Please repost if you believe that big-money political donations are intrinsically corrupt and should be banned and classed as the serious criminal offence of corruptly buying political influence.

...& these are just the things that can be measured in Sterling & numbers. Add to this the loss of study/work/life opportunities, cross-border understanding, family reunions & returns, language learning, international friendships & contacts, the belief in the value of cooperation & compromise.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Exactly this

The New Year and msm have started their anti Scotland propaganda. Unionist MSPs say Scotgov spends more on prisoners’ meals than NHS patients. Attention grabbing headlines fail to reflect unique demands of each institution. How about we remove MSPs meal subsidies to increase NHS meal funding?

"We are not religious." Spot on. And yet Farage had tentatively suggested stricter abortion rules. I doubt he cares about abortion himself. But, it gives us a clue about where his financial backing is coming from. #bbcpm

definition: Badenoch . . . a person who cannot even pronounce their own name. @susiedent.com

Kemi Badenoch today calling for a full national enquiry into the rape gangs scandals. Forgetting there was one in 2022 which the Tory government completely ignored

PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING if you switch on @lbc.co.uk at 10am it's Suella Braverman in for @mrjamesob.bsky.social.

One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/save-our... Unbelievable!!

The government needs to act on this urgently www.theguardian.com/environment/... www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2024/se...

@Independent: The joke is over – get Mrs Brown’s Boys off the BBC

Gross as this is it's a great analogy for the lies of brexit. 8 years on from the referendum this pimple represents the festering lies of the leave campaign bubbling up. The question is do we leave it to pop naturally or do we squeeze it and get the pus out for all to see and then treat the wound.

@euronews: Most cancer patients in England now diagnosed at an early stage

Suella Braverman tells LBC that Italy have "built a wall" on the "land border between Italy and Turkey" and insists that "I've been to see it"

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

This woman claims £8,400 from the Government in Universal Credit, £1,800 in Bursary contributions. But she doesn't want to pay £800 a year in Private School VAT to pay for these things.

Suella Braverman has "seen the wall on the land border between Italy and Turkey..." Gosh I think she's been visited by more right wing fairies Minor detail - Italy and Turkey don't have a land border!!! God these right wingers are doing my head in It's like debating with stroppy 5 year olds

Great thread this. Would add - part of Farage's success was getting voters who broadly speaking agree with people who vote for the BNP*but find the far right déclassé. A risk too in going from 15 per cent to a five per cent one.

Even I’m at a loss for words www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sue...

Conservatism kills. It should be illegal to stop someone’s benefits, as it effectively ends their right to live in some cases. DWP spend £50,000 trying to stop release of review into disabled man’s death www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Speaker Mike Johnson on Fox & Friends suggests Biden's "wide open border" played a role in the New Orleans attack. Again, the perpetrator was born in Texas and served in the US military.

Dear Suella, They don't even share a fucking sea border.
