This was reported 2 years ago.

This led by donkeys report on Farage should be played on repeat in all reform areas.

Have a watch if you haven't seen it.

Racist from the off set, used to sing nazi youth songs.

Walks like a nazi, talks like a nazi, sings like a nazi... A patriot??

No he's a Nazi.

What's the bets that this place burns down in one of those mysterious fires which only old buildings that have had planning permission turned down seem to suffer from...?

Important to remember, as there's lots of newsy stuff happening today and yesterday's news is already slipping down the agenda, but Nigel Farage is still a massive racist. So pass it on.

350 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Trump so called cease fire. In other words, it was all BS.

Scenes from Hong Kong look apocalyptic. Horrific sight to see all those burning buildings, and to know there are so many people missing.

Can't help thinking back to Grenfell.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

As a cyclist, I have seen so many Paul Doyle's on the roads.

Arrogant, entitled white men who think they're superior to every other road used. They speed round city streets and wait for no-one.

I think it really would be helpful if there was a public explanation for this unusual decision, in this highly charged and important case. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Removal of judge in Palestine Action ban legal challenge ‘deeply concerning’
Unusual last-minute change means panel of three will now hear case rather than Mr Justice Chamberlain

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

Watched 'Steve' with Gillian Murphy last night. One of those intensely claustrophobic movies (see also 'Boiling Point'), which follows a man who's no longer in control of the world around him. Great film, but there's too much in it that looks really familiar to my life right now. 😩

Trump: “That’s ok, you can just say it.”

Mamdani: “Yes.”
