Struggling to find much humour in the likely next leader of the Conservative Party cosplaying the National Front of the 1970s.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Tediously often Wales is treated as some sort of odd cousin of little import while specifically English stuff is presented as "The News" in many big media contexts, and the upshot of that attitude laid bare here, as something of grave seriousness to all of Britain is sidelined/ignored

Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 14d

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app.

It’s hidden under Welsh news.

Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times.

Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

Going to hell? Fair play. We all are apparently. With that in mind, I wrote about how I should be more like my angry cat and ignore the magical joys that chemotherapy brings on a daily basis open.substack.com/pub/acloudab...

6 page ‘career spanning’ interview in this month’s Record Collector magazine -
Blown away by this one,
Especially by accuracy of transcription - it feels like exactly what i said or at least meant, which is really unusual! Text redacted in support of print media! Thanks RC!

Complain!
Ask for a reply. The BBC are obliged to supply one!

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 19d

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status.

“They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

“Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

To quote Marisa, the wife of #JDTwitch, in her post: "the most meaningful way to honour Keith is to keep playing his music, sharing your memories, and supporting the causes he cared about." In this thread, please find a series of links that will allow you to do just that. Please share widely:
