Five months ago, I recorded a 10-minute explanation, as a former regulator, of why the UK would be not only perfectly within its rights to ban twitter, but probably ought to.

Maybe now people will listen.

The Farage-athon in our media has to stop.All he represents is the weaponisation of prejudice to keep people angry and uninformed. But headlines about him go on and on, building up a myth instead of exposing him for the nasty little con artist he is.
Years of this shit. Please can 2025 be different.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

Four years of ‘Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter’ and this is what we get the moment Republicans retake power. The president appointing his son-in-law’s former convict father, who he earlier pardoned, to a prestigious US government job abroad for which he has zero qualifications.
NEW: Trump intends to nominate Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner’s dad, as Ambassador to France.

In footballing terms, this is like taking off the clunker who claimed to be George Weah’s cousin & bringing on the clunker who claimed to be George Weah’s cousin.
Ben Habib has quit Reform just as Angela Jenkyns joined. So the moron quotient of Reform remains unchanged.
