The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

B: His figure is wrong. 71.2% of Glaswegian children speak English as their first language.
C: So that's 28.8% who speak it as a second and I'll bet you they speak brilliant English and that it's much better than most Reform voters I've met online.

This feels personal. My child is in school in Glasgow. She's likely recorded as not speaking English as first language, even though it is basically her first. Everybody I know is extremely impressed that she's fully bilingual (me, too). Now these people are coming after her. Coming after children.
2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts!

Reform may have hit its ceiling, but in a five-party, first-past-the-post landscape, a ceiling just under 30% could still be enough to win power.

Odd and incompetent: Reform hits a ceiling
Polls suggest that Reform support may have peaked, perhaps because it appeals only to a very distinctive, and noisy, minority

Support for Reform NOSEDIVES across several major polls
Blimey, this should set some alarm bells ringing. After a rough few weeks, Reform now find their advantage in the polls slipping.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

The ideal form of Capitalism is where they provide nothing and take everything.
That is what they want, a future where you can barely afford food, rent and energy and they have ALL the money.
