So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win.
With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man

Maybe being accused of election fraud will distract attention from my mate being jailed for taking bribes, me being a racist teenager, three of my MEPs repeating pro-Russia propaganda and my girlfriend buying a £885k house she can't possibly afford...

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

HEARTWARMING: these 450,000 children living in poverty saved up all the benefits their parents got and game them to three pensioners with £2m houses in fulham so they don’t have to sell them and settle for a £1m house

I’m quite enjoying the 180 turn on a six pence from “you’ve wrecked the economy and created a black hole” to “there was no black hole and this is even worse”.

Also who cares why they did it? What matters is it's done. (In any case reducing poverty is one reason people vote for Labour MPs so mollifying is kind of the point of elected them).
I'm hearing criticisms of the end to the two child limit, because it was done just to mollify Labour backbenchers, at a cost of £billions.
I remember another govt delivering a referendum on EU membership, just to mollify restive backbenchers. That's costing way, way more... A little perspective?

It's disgraceful that Rachel Reeves didn't take any questions from GB News! The fact that they claim to not be a news channel every time Ofcom find they have breached impartiality rules shouldn't stop them from pretending they are a news channel whenever it suits them.

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?
Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

We allowed the RW to media push UK into electing a media-tart PM interested only in himself, who had no attributes for the job and surrounded himself by bullies and incompetents. The consequences on UK includes 1000s of lost lives.

Many thanks to JCB’s Lord Bamford for donating £200,000 to Reform. HMRC seem to think he owes them up to £500m from money hidden in offshore accounts, but why pay tax when you can give it to a bunch of racists instead?
