It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

Well done Emma Barnett on #r4today exposing the blatant antisemitism of Richard Tice, MP (and deputy leader of Reform) - he called the Jewish man abused at school by Nigel Farage with the foulest of antisemitic language a liar and said it was “lefty twaddle”…

A new low for Farage, Tice, and Reform…

Crypto-investor who lives in Thailand gives record-breaking donation to Reform UK, to help it win power in a country he doesn't live in.

Britain's political funding laws are a charred and smoking ruin. Ducking change was a catastrophic mistake by Labour.

From today, over 96,000 unpaid carers in Scotland will receive a £293.50 Carer’s Allowance Supplement payment - extra support that’s only available here in Scotland.

Dignity and fairness in action. That’s what you get with an SNP government.

Reform is reporting £331 million in savings across the councils it runs, but Private Eye’s Rotten Boroughs writer Saba Salman says the claims are complete guff.

In a surprise to absolutely no one, the mum she’s describing is not claiming benefits as a “lifestyle choice”.

This paywalled article is full of “in my grandparents day, blah blah blah” and nasty sneery comments about latest iPhones for spoilt children🙄

Would MAGAs stop hoovering Elon Musk's sharts if they knew how to read charts?

(By the way, in the last chart here, the cash held by the richest Americans is so vast it's 10 times the height of the chart and can't be shown. Never forget, it's not democratic socialists who hate us but billionaires.)

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X.

Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’

It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.

The Führer was fibbing? Surely not.
Farage told the paper. “After next May the Conservatives will no longer be a national party. I would never do a deal with a party that I do not trust. No deals, just a reverse takeover.”

Jury trials in England & Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than 3 years will be scrapped.

Bad move

Money may be saved but justice and trust in the system will be the biggest casualty.

Poor and minorities at the mercy of toff judges.
