Welcome to the twilight zone where Nigel Farage can be accused of racism yet still lead the polls | Nesrine Malik
After weeks of allegations of schoolboy racism, the Reform leader is doubling down. And our political establishment is allowing it, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Don’t know whether you’ve seen it James, but if you haven’t, do go and see Kenrex at The Other Palace. It’s outstanding, with a superlative performance from Jack Holden - who also co-wrote it. One of the best things I’ve seen in my 73 yrs.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Guess what arrived this morning? My son has the large version and the travel version is a gift for another young man. What a fantastic size - even I might be able to fit it in my suitcase 🤣
Happy Christmas James and thanks for keeping us sane in an increasingly mad world

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listening to your US report, if you are on X as a ‘loonie woke leftie’ you are now called the ‘rabid left’ by Reform voters or faux ‘Christian patriots’. It’s awful. Chrissie in Kingston

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Went to see I Swear last night. A superb film and a real eye opener re Tourette’s. Quite a few films out that are worth a watch atm. Urchin is another and Steve. Great show as usual. Chrissie in Kingston.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listening to this speech, @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social has totally ignored the fact that the Tories have done a vast amount of damage to the UK. The speech is utterly ludicrous.she may be an engineer but it hasn’t stopped her spouting utter drivel!

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

Did Sam Coates REALLY just say on Sky News that “there’s blame on both sides” regarding the CONSERVATIVES implementing a super injunction, to cover up their own leak and blunder. which risked the lives of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Afghan allies?
Unfuckingbelievable.

You can only presume that Trump & his cronies make an absolute killing every time the markets balk at his latest tariff tantrum. And another one when he inevitably backs down. Jimmy Carter putting the family peanut farm in a blind trust for the duration of his Presidency feels very, very far away.

A thousand times this.
Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire.
He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

Look at Trump showing off his new merch. Hats saying “Trump was right about everything”.

Perhaps a new extra large nappy could be added to the range.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I can only presume that the cess pit that is X is what people like Musk, Farage,Jenrick, Media want. Full of people who want their country back, a country apparently full of others who don’t even speak English. Scary and shameful!
