Joined back in the spring I think. Was earlier in the year. We’ve got to vote for someone and none of the main parties cut it. They’re beholden to wealth. Change will happen we can do it before fascism takes hold or after. I think we’ll see high death tolls before we see true change.

And then say the only solution is to rejoin because the country is on its arse, a fascist is rising in the states and that Europe together as one is strong. Then they can send round MI5 and have jimmy arrest the fucker. Leave him shaken not stirred the cunt

🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves is set to blame Nigel Farage for tax rises in the Budget, saying he delivered Brexit with “easy sloganeering” and then walked away

Reeves will say that without Brexit, the economy would be stronger and taxes lower - and that Farage is to blame

That’s why I joined the greens, fresh blood , fresh ideas. Tired of being apathetic to the major parties. Real change is needed hopefully they’re the cure

our democracy – is little more than a charade – barely disguising the utter corruption which has infected our political system – with all the main parties being little more than gangland factions with competing big money donors – donors who expect to benefit when their investments pay off

Time for a spook to drop parts of the threat binder they’ve accumulated on Johnson. KGB ties, partying in kgb mansions, 800k loan needed when he became pm. The fat treasonous fuck thinks he above everyone. Take the fucker down, how can you spy against Russia when they have men on the inside. Farage2

No surprise from the man who sold his country down the river just to become PM - a corrupt, useless, self serving lying one at that

Johnson secretly lobbied the UAE for a billion-dollar private venture, amid plans to use an influential contact & senior contacts in the Saudi gov he met as PM

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office, watchdog finds

Johnson found to have breached rules after refusing to answer specific questions about allegations published by the Guardian

Yes we should, back Zack and have him take the fight to reform. Labour under Starmer are through. He’s shit, we know he’s shit, he know she’s shit. A follower not a leader. Starmer couldn’t lead his way out of a wet paper bag and he betrayed his own class if you believe he was ever working class

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 6h

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Nigel Farage was a “snake oil merchant” who promulgated racist policies

Sorry Starmer but you fall into that camp too. Fall on your sword, if you don’t want a reform govt then you’ve gots to go and give real Labour a chance. It’s not a winnable argument for you pal. You legitimised them numpty

Sarah Murphy @13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · 4h

Good to blame Farage for the dull-arsed, ruinous, tedious failure of Brexit.
Not that good to keep punishing us for that failure, rather than looking to swiftly boost our prosperity by asking to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.
But yes. It’s a start.

www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

Starmer and Reeves are expected to argue that if it hadn't been for Brexit this type of downgrade would not have been needed - and cite official figures suggesting that if Britain had not left the European Union the economy would be about £120 billion greater by 2035 than current forecasts suggest.
The message is simple: Farage is ultimately to blame, as the man who delivered Brexit with "easy sloganeering" then walked away from the aftermath rather than putting in the hard yards.
Or to put it another way: Farage, not us, is responsible for putting up your taxes.
The theme will tie to the main thrust of Starmer's argument at conference, that the Reform leader is selling easy solutions that are just a fantasy.

Scaifytime - WOUNDEDSPiRiT - lead guitarist @scaifytime.bsky.social · 15h

That would be real news and the bbc is crap at doing it with integrity these days.

I wanted to know about it when Boris fucked off to party with the kgb.

If any of our leaders or wanna be ones are in bed with the enemy then we should know. Especially when they want us to fight the 1’s that payem

KimBo @zapperfan7.bsky.social · 1d

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

I’m sure with the rapid numbers of people joining they’re doing their diligence and putting that together. They’re reaching millions of people now or so it feels, membership almost at 100k, why not be planning for it, they could be truly disruptive may as well cost it

Scaifytime - WOUNDEDSPiRiT - lead guitarist @scaifytime.bsky.social · 23h

Yeah I think so too, I expect one of the unions will want to be part of the movement too, though it’ll probably look different to their relationship with Labour. Once the domino’s start to fall they stand a great shot. I think the party will smash 100k members the next week. I’m one of them

A proper fighter is Zack. Back him and the greens and take the fight for the soul of the country mainstream. Hold reform and the rest of the tories including Labour to account. The very least we should have is a proper opposition. I feel hopeful at least that will be achieved and reform kept out

Recorded the remaining vocals on my new bands second track. Been playing it all morning. I love it, can’t wait to share it. Proper bouncy, and I got some great guitar work. I have however lost my tab I wrote for it so have to figure out how to play it all for when we take it live 😂

Thank you, yeah I can splash out on a takeaway tonight. Might even be able to have a week away before I start the new gig so I’m refreshed. You have a great day and weekend too

Nobel peace prize 2025: Norway fears repercussions if Donald Trump not honoured in ceremony

US president has been conducting campaign to influence prize committee We don’t know for sure – the Norwegian Nobel Committee keeps the candidates’ names secret for 50 years, meaning there is no certainty and it’s all, frankly, guesswork. However, there is a workaround. We have an idea of a few people who are likely to be on the list when nominators — who are eligible individuals like members of government or university professors — choose to publicise their submissions. Anti-occupation activists Issa Amro from Hebron, Palestine and Jeff Halper from Jerusalem. (Nominated by Norwegian MP Ingrid Fiskaa) Donald Trump. The US president has said several times that he deserves the prize, and is openly envious that four of his predecessors, including Barack Obama, who have received the award. (Nominated by US Republican Representative Claudia Tenney) Chow Hang-tung. A prominent barrister and human rights activist who is jailed in Hong Kong. (Nominated by Norwegian MP Guri Melby) Continue reading...

There is no voting for Labour anymore for me, Green Party all the way. Will take my cue at the GE from the party as a candidate may not run in my ward. They are planning to target it. Soon as I get back into work I’ll be making a donation. Shabana Mahmood will lose her seat this time.

Ed Poole @edpoole1975.bsky.social · 1d

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

Yup, he’s a thin skinned little bitch that would cry like a little child of he was slapped. I’d hate to be secret service and have to take a bullet for him. Would be a contender for a Darwin Award doing that 😂
