Private Eye always gets it. It’s becoming clear to me that MSM journalists care more about themselves than the story. #ukpolitics

It’s the fear they have of angering the Reform UK voters that prevents them from simply doing what should be done and what is in effect an absolute no brainer to bring us back on a decent path

This is where I’d love to just see more courage

I wonder how you actually explain to your constituents, the people you are there to represent, that you've run away with the circus - joined a (ahem!) party who's sole intent is to break the UK with slash n burn 🔥 policies, essentially destroy the life you know.

(and there's a growing list of them)

If only EVERYONE who doesn't support the regime would show up to protest on October 18th, the numbers would be staggering. Too many are just going about their lives like this is normal. IT'S NOT NORMAL! WAKE UP AND SHOW UP!

Let him

I applaud him for his courage in saying what needs to be in fact shouted from the rooftop

‘Courage and integrity’

Mia @miak06.bsky.social · 23h

Let him

If this is what he does, it is only further proof that he is not deserving of this meaningful prize

Yup. As you know, he's supported by the r/wing think tank responsible for Project 2025. His dangerous links to Putin's 🇷🇺 and to Trump should be shown everywhere, so everyone knows who he really is.

Make no mistake, if Farage should ever really get into No 10, he will destroy this country / as in properly destroy it

The way that Trump is destroying the US before our very eyes

Yeap

Sadly

How can anyone believe that an insurrectionist twice impeached convicted felon, a leader whose immigration enforcers act like the Gestapo, who treats Putin like treasured royalty & whose name surely features prominently in the Epstein files is even remotely deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only person deserving of the prize is Zelenskyy

Mia @miak06.bsky.social · 1d

His lack of intellect is disturbing

The man is just plain stupid

As in dumb as a doorknob

She obv believes she is above the law and will surely be pardoned by Trump should it ever get to that point

People like her should not be given an ‘out’ clause

Mia @miak06.bsky.social · 2d

Zelenskyy is really the only political leader deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize

Mia @miak06.bsky.social · 2d

He couldn’t care less about the hostages or lasting peace

I believe this ‘peace deal’ when I see all hostages released & the fighting permanently stopped

And an insurrectionist, twice impeached convicted felon whose name surely features prominently in Epstein files does not qualify for N P Prize

Urgent winter clothing appeal for UK baby banks.

In 2024 charity distributed 6,752 coats, 14,163 pairs of shoes, 2,857 blankets, 1,472 items of bedding and 45,220 pairs of socks to families in need.

Low wages/benefits; high energy, water, grocery costs; unchecked profiteering take toll.

London baby banks appeal for urgent donations ahead of winter

Baby banks in London say supplies are running low due to more families facing increased financial pressures.

One of the better films made on the Financial crisis

While fiction, gives a v good insight into what went on behind the scenes at some of the key banks

& a lot of it v real

Also in terms of how banks go about terminating people

I survived two rounds of mass layoffs at one major bank / v lifelike
