“Je suis Bernard Manning,” claims Nigel Farage. And so he is. But not quite in the way he meant. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uki...

His response to allegations of racist behaviour reveals more than we could have guessed—and why the Beeb needs to protect itself

I’m seeing that some people are using free post to return electoral marketing mail.

It’s better to use the free post to send a letter outlining your thoughts, on plain paper, without your name and address. That way you will be adding to the company costs without giving them your data. 😉

I agree, these children blew us away with their clarity and confidence and generosity during their philosophical enquiry. Quite inspiring 💫. It was a pleasure and a privilege to host the #ThoughtfulConference2025 at The University of South Wales, this year. Diolch yn fawr!
The amazing children of @ysgolpanteg opened our @thoughtfulp4c.bsky.social conference with an enquiry on rebels and heroes. A beautiful example of thoughtfulness. #ThoughtfulConference2025 #PhilosophyMatters #WorldPhilosophyDay

“The message from Caerphilly is very clear to me: One-third of the vote is not enough to get Reform elected, if the other two-thirds get their act together.”

Everything about his body language whenever a question is asked about the Russian bribes speaks of panic. Farage is vulnerable on this.
Farage is asked about another two of his MEPs, who made the same pro-Russia statements that Nathan Gill has now pled guilty to being bribed to make.

"Opinions are opinions."

Farage's defence seems to be that they arrived at those views independently and it has nowt to do with him.

Hmm. 🤔 ~AA

Public funds, police protection and royal privilege have long buffered Prince Andrew from the consequences of his actions.

And we’ve paid for all this.

I will support any efforts in Parliament to hold royals to the same standards and laws as everyone else.

There is a real chance that Reform could win in Caerffili.

If that thought concerns you, there’s only one thing to do.

Voting Plaid Cymru is the only way to keep Reform out of our Senedd.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
