Letter sent to Nigel Farage by Patrick Sargent
Former Reform UK regional Chairman

He is surprised to find out that the limited company he joined:

• Has no democratic structure
• Is not a meritocracy
• Is a Farage vanity project
• Has no policies
• Is not a professional outfit

Dear @BBC I'd probably enjoy Riot Women a lot more if I didn't have to turn the volume on my TV up from the usual 10 to 30+ to actually fucking hear it!

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Every person should have fair access to Britain’s green spaces, coastlines, and waterways.

Read our plan to unlock them:

This Land is Your Land - Restoring Public Paths Through Nature

In the UK, access to public paths is shrinking. Thousands of miles of disused railway lines, canal towpaths and green spaces sit unused or blocked off. Our new policy will transform these forgotten…

Thousands of miles of disused railways, canal towpaths, and green spaces lie blocked off or forgotten across the UK.

Excellent! I used to do a bit of silversmithing, so I know just how much work will have gone into producing that. Used to love belting the bejaysus out of a bit of metal with a hammer: my kind of crafting! 😂

Should be a permenant exhibition, rotating through the collection so people get a chance to see as many of them as possible. Pembrokeshire aught to be celebrating you celebrating its biodiversity!

If he's not already, Farage should be very, very worried at the prospect of you gaining a seat in the Commons. Bring. It. On!

Like, we are fast reaching the stage where this man will be sitting there in his own poop, talking about Martians, while dribbling, and everyone will be saying "Yes, but WHY is he doing that? What is he PLANNING for 2045?"

Never mind that he got this from a public report about the agents called to the location AFTER the riot had started. Not knowing that you'd been President for almost four years on that date, and Biden would not be inaugurated for another two weeks, even by Trump standards, is SKETCHY AF.

Good thread. The UK certainly did avoid many calls for further information / investigations into Russian interference before and after the heavily redacted Russia Report was published

JohnWest_JAWS @johnwestjaws.bsky.social · 10h

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."
