Listening to The Jam I hope.

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

The oldest known image of Keith Richards, published around 1140 AD ...

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

So pleased Laura Kuenssberg is back this week. That means there is no chance Robert Jenrick will be asked about his promise to cut flight tax after a £40k donation from an airline owner.

I know I’ve got a degree. Why does that mean I have to spend my time with intellectuals? - Victoria Wood

Morning everyone. Looks like spring might finally have pushed through this week! - Michael

No Conservative should be allowed to speak on this matter without being reminded that Boris Johnson failed his security vetting, yet the Tories appointed him to be Foreign Minister and then Prime Minister.

This is simply not true. Labour didn’t have to go right. They *chose* to go right. The big majority was a chance to reset everything back to sanity. Starmer chose the mad, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest route instead.

The Press knew. They laughed.

The Tories knew. They didn’t care.

All I see now is hypocrisy.

Richard Stupid Tice makes a good point - the government should learn from Reform UK and use the same vetting system as we do. We have an exemplary record of only passing a few hundred racists, sex pests and violent criminals.

The last person in this country I am going to listen to on the question of honesty is Nigel Farage.

The font of all knowledge.

Welsh Reform leader throws Farage under the bus! - BBC Question Time YouTube video by Femi - F Politics!

BREAKING: Reform UK's Welsh leader just threw Nigel Farage under the bus!

THE REFORM WARS HAVE BEGUN! (again) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We’re fighting for transparency over Palantir NHS briefing documents | Good Law Project Wes Streeting is refusing to publish documents that will provide the truth about the risks of Palantir’s systems for handling our health records, so we’re fighting back

In public, Wes Streeting is furiously back-pedaling from his earlier Palantir cheerleading.

But in private he is refusing to let us see what civil servants told him about Palantir

So, with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social, we are taking him to court to try and force him to hand over the briefings.

We should be learning from other countries...

This charmer and her husband have just been sent to prison for racially abusing a Filipino nurse. Such a shame, as she would have been a brilliant Reform candidate.

Moment Nigel Farage henchmen manhandle disabled OAP in parking row Henchmen working for the divisive Reform leader were seen on camera manhandling a retired engineer who was trying to park in a disabled spot to drop off his wife in Shetland

Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.

Lovely People.

Graphic of Ciara alleyne, 22, chair of the young green. She speaks about her journey into politics including the quote that as one of the only people of colour raised in her school that naturally politicises you.

I am so proud of Ciara - our Co-Chair of @younggreens.bsky.social and the next Cllr for Herne Hill and Loughborough Jnc.

Today, she is rightly named The Times 'Young Power List'. She epitomises HOPE.

Nigel Farage has said that he wants to move towards an insurance based healthcare system.

The NHS wasn’t built in Wales just to be a destroyed by Reform UK.

A vote for Plaid Cymru is a vote to protect and strengthen our NHS.

This BBC immigration and asylum story is a moral panic. Poorly evidenced, generalised panic about a marginalised social group. Next week, the government will respond with a new 'crackdown'. This will then further exacerbate public anxiety.

You know who wins from all of this, Nigel Farage.

"We never censor the powerful"?

Thomas Massie: “Well, nothing's gonna change with Todd Blanch in charge, cuz he was in charge before Pam Bondi left — the difference is now he's legally accountable for complying instead of just being the guy doing the work”

Covid-19 Inquiry: UK's vaccine development and rollout was 'extraordinary feat' - live updates An estimated 475,000 lives were saved in England and Scotland, but the inquiry says a lower vaccine uptake among some groups should've been predicted.

The Covid 19 vaccine roll out was an extraordinary feat which may have saved upwards of 475,000 lives.

In the face of a deadly virus dedicated professionals worked hard to make it happen and millions did the right thing and took the jabs.

That's to be celebrated.
