Nigel Farage finally met a force he couldn’t shout down - the bond market.

You can’t outdrink a spreadsheet, and you can’t gaslight a Bloomberg terminal.

Round one: he lost.
Nigel Farage vs The Bond Market: Round One (He Lost)
Farage has discovered what every populist eventually does - you can’t outshout mathematics.

Hope you feel better soon. We’ll be here.
What’s your favourite fantasy novel / series ? And have you read “The Priory of the Orange Tree?”

Of course having read all those answers I now need to know a) how are you alive on so little sleep, b) can you teach me how to do it and most importantly c) what’s your favourite fantasy book/series? 😉

Farage insists Reform isn’t racist.

I’ve got 20 documented cases that say otherwise.

When the fringe and the manifesto sing the same tune, you don’t have a crank problem - you have a culture problem.

From “target practice” on refugees to burqa bans in Parliament, the tally tells the story better than Farage ever could.

I defended Labour for 15 months.

Workers’ rights and renters’ protections? Yes.

But cutting benefits, parroting Reform, and calling your own side “the Left” as though you’re not? No.

Which is why Ed Davey and Zack Polanski have an opening Starmer is handing to them.
Why I can't Back Labour Anymore
I've given them fifteen months. They've used these to sidle up closer and closer to Reform. I am done.

The “Taxi-Driver-Told-Me” and rapid Americanisation style of politics has become Reform’s entire playbook: bluster, vague rumours, controversy for the sake of it, followed by denials and backtracks, hoping no one notices.

I’ve heard it say that Nigel Farage has no less than seventeen nipples spread over his chest and back.

I’m, of course, not saying it’s true, but we have no evidence saying otherwise.

It could be true, we just don’t know.

That’s how this works, right?

Everybody’s favourite bear 🐻❤️.

Smarter than the average.
Farage’s “big reveal” yesterday went down like a cup of cold vomit, but it’s not enough to gloat - we’ve got three and a half years to get our act together.

Outrage fades. Organisation wins.

Yes, it's only 2025. Yes, I may be making Gantt Charts on Excel. But if we're serious about stopping authoritarian creep, we have to start now.

Yesterday Trump told the UN that London wants to “go to Sharia Law.”

I’ve lived here for a decade and I’m pretty sure I would have noticed if Tower Hamlets had turned into a caliphate.

FAQ below on why this rant is weapons-grade nonsense - and why debunking it matters.

For me it’s a dash versus an em-dash. No idea when to use the right one !

It’s been an ugly week to be away:

America’s drift into authoritarianism is speeding up, Trump’s on his second state visit and funding for dissenting voices is still paper-thin.

Time to talk free speech, fascism and imbalance.

I know, right?

I have been in multiple meetings this week and not once, not a single time, was there a call for a minutes silence or any acknowledgement of what happened to Charlie Kirk.

Dis.

Gusting.

I hope they do get arrested.

If someone incites violence against another person, they should face the legal consequences.

That’s how the law works in the UK.

I think most people would agree, no?

I despised Charlie Kirk’s politics, but I won’t celebrate his murder.

If democracy has any meaning left, it has to mean ballots, not bullets.

Disagreements, not assassinations.
