A little known fact about Andrew Tate is that he has shilled for Putin. That might be why Farage likes him. Of course, it might just be that Farage thinks a sexual predator and abuser of teenage girls is a good chap.

Either way, Farage couldn't care less about the safety of women and girls.

Badenoch 's True Blue policies:

Abolish stamp duty - aka big tax cuts for the wealthy

Abolish tax on private education - aka big tax cuts for the wealthy

Savings of £42bn - aka massive cuts to public services

Who is to blame for our woes? Immigrants, of course

A new poll shows 75% of Americans believe Trump has not focused enough on lowering prices. Trump responds to that by just lying about prices. Don’t believe your lying eyes or empty wallets - believe a serial liar making billions in the Middle East!

Your reminder that Robert Jenrick isn’t interested in judges being unbiased or apolitical: on the contrary, like the far right media, he wants to intimidate or control judges into making decisions which reflect *his* political biases

Colin Murray @colinmurray.bsky.social · 3d

More in the breathless, breaking stop-the-presses, and not at all confected story, that judges, before they were judges, were involved in practising law. Take 5 seconds to appreciate just how hard into "swivel-eyed loon" Robert Jenrick is being allowed to lean:

As renewables overtake coal as the world's largest source of electricity, what did we get from the Tory conference?

- repeal the Climate Change Act
- scrap 2050 net-zero target
- remove renewable energy subsidies
- maximise oil and gas extraction from the North Sea

They are so out of touch!

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

After spending an entire morning defending his suggestion that there are too many non-white faces in the UK, Robert Jenrick ends his speech with the line: "Let's take our country back".

The most violent President we’ve ever had.

He’ll fight to protect Russia while he unleashes our own military on our own citizens.

Unfit to serve. He should resign or be removed immediately via the 25th amendment.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
