The Reform/Tories say the only way to pay for the enormous cost of billionaire tax dodgers that fund their political parties is by cutting welfare for the poorest in society.. #bbcqt

Heading home after the amazing Grace Petrie, singing political songs AND doing top notch stand up - such an amazing performer. Missed the show? NE friends you can catch her in Hexham on Thursday and why wouldn't you?

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Not that you need reminding of this anniversary @mindssconeblank.bsky.social , but always worth a share anyway!
#OtD 10 Sep 1933 an attempted rally by Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists was broken up by 2000 anti-fascist locals in Stockton, England. They chased off fascists with pickaxe handles, stones, half bricks, and potatoes with razor blades inside stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8256...

And the trick they play they say the flag is yours
Flown at one world cup and two world wars
A tawdry cross daubed across any old white rag
I’ll never swear allegiance to the flag

Voters' concern about immigration tracks the number of immigration stories in the tabloids, not the number of immigrants.

Farage is a one-trick pony: without immigration he's got nothing.

To beat Reform, take the national conversation away from immigration.

Labour is doing the opposite.

Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer.
FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?

There is something rotten about leveraging an expression of long-standing culture and tradition to deliver a contemporary declaration of racist hate
