We need to keep up the pressure on Farage, there’s no way a Russian stooge should be anywhere near Govt, or being an MP. No way would a patriot show more loyalty to Putin and Trump than the UK, Farage is treacherous scum.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

Shame Labour aren’t fighting Reform on a pro EU ticket, it would focus on Farage’s culpability for Brexit

The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:

"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

Yet more troubles in Reformland

Local government is not proving to be the cinch that Nigel Farage’s party assumed it to be

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

If people are looking for a change in our broken political system, then they can’t run and hide behind the sofa as soon as a politician is brave enough to propose such a change

“The witches of Essex” was on TV last night. How little we have evolved. The queen’s throne was at risk, as a diversion her ministers blamed witches and spread a propaganda fuelled outrage across the country. Poor people accused their neighbours of witchcraft. Is Farage our witch finder general?

Steve Mortlock @stevemortlock.bsky.social · 14h

But God forbid the super rich should pay for it, many of them pushed for Brexit to protect their wealth from EU social improvement projects. No squeeze it from the rest of us again! Put another bucket under the leak, don’t fix it

Oh yes 😊

Steve Mortlock @stevemortlock.bsky.social · 14h

But if Labour, Libdems, Greens etc push pro EU policies they will have the backing of the majority of voters. It would also make the disastrous Brexit a key battleground. Farage would not want that. Tactical voting could then keep out Reform & Tories

I may be wrong Mike, but I think people are ready now. They can see Labour struggling to resuscitate the economy and CU/SM would be such a boost. Also Liberals won 70 odd seats at the election, that doesn’t happen often.

This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery.

All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.
