“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Remember when Tories were once told to try the power stance? They're now being coached to try more stand-up comedy, aren't they? Excruciating #politics #pah

Orwell wrote: “In England all the boasting and flag-wagging... is done by a small minority. The patriotism of the common people is not vocal or even conscious.” Someone tell Reform, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

Nigel Farage has no idea how to be a prime minister

The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

My colleague - I think your phone keeps ringing.
