There’s a task that shouldn’t be left to @bylinetimes.bsky.social alone: The fourth estate has a job to do in defence of freedom and democracy. Are they too keen to report on the chaos of a Reform government (until that time when mass deportations and arrest of “dissidents” begins?) Too late then.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Trump controls the most lethal weapons on the planet. No wonder everyone, including Netanyahu, tiptoes around him as they would a criminally insane offender, with a gun, who’s telling you he’s the Messiah.

People are marching against Trump’s authoritarianism in the USA, Macron’s failures in France, and the cruelty of Gaza policy in the UK.

Everywhere, governments are asking 'how to stop protest?' when they should be asking 'why people feel the need to protest?'

Is protest democracy in motion, and not a crime?

Farage has promoted lies and social division for the whole of his political career: His, Putin pleasing, Brexit costs individual households between £1000 - 3000 every year. He continues to enjoy a very lavish lifestyle.

Oh! 💥“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Oleh Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband just started bribing Gill to make these statements six days earlier.”💥 bsky.app/profile/byli...

In any normally functioning democracy, Farage’s political career would now be over. You would have to invoke unbelievable levels of naivety and stupidity for Farage to dodge this one - and sadly for him such qualities are not on the person specification for the job of Prime Minister.

Exposing Reform’s Oil Ties Significantly Reduces Party Support, New Research Finds

Reform UK’s oil industry interests are a major turn-off for voters, new research reveals. The think tank Persuasion UK tested five anti-Reform messages on 6,000 adults. According to the research, “by ...

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

What’s up? The games up: “Any doubt that this was just a passing selfie is dispelled by another photo, taken by Borodi, also apparently on the same day, in which Farage is holding up a unique T-shirt celebrating Brexit with a James Bond reference: “Leave and Let Die”. bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...
