"69% of Brits now see Nigel Farage unfavourably, the highest recorded by @YouGov tracker to date - with just a quarter having a favourable opinion. This leaves him with a net favourability rating of -45" Nice! #UKPolitics #Farage #ReformUK
"NEW: 69% of Brits now see Nigel Farage unfavourably, the highest recorded by @YouGov tracker to date - with just a quarter having a favourable opinion.
This leaves him with a net favourability rating of
-45 - identical to Keir Starmer's just before his resignation, and down from -31 this time last year."

Channel 4 airs Reform UK allegations
Mocking BBC's Chris Mason for weak coverage compared to Channel 4's Reform report.

They haven't. Anything within 3% is just margin of error on the polling accuracy. They are consistently going down.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion...

That's because the public believe that voter ID was good. yougov.com/en-gb/articl... Can't blame Starmer for that.

Boom. BBC have a whole live page on it. Hopefully people start getting the message about just how much immigration has been reduced under Labour. And again— we still want to change leader and disrupt government? #UKPolitics #Labour
LIVE UK net migration drops to 171,000 in 2025 - lowest since 2012 excluding pandemic

The figure, showing the difference between the number of people arriving and those leaving the country, reached a peak of 944,000 in the year to March 2023 - but has been falling since.

Top BBC comment under news of stronger than expected economic growth: Very refreshing to see…and we should take heed. #UKPolitics #Labour #Starmer
So things should be left alone for awhile at the head of government, no need for more turmoil in these already unsettled times. I don't think Starmer etc are doing a spectacular job, but the alternatives are scary or potentially disatrous.

Zack Polanski slips up again: "There are people who identify as right wing or even far right... Do we think we can change their minds or is it a case of building a society that doesn't include them? Big ooft! youtu.be/PQ4Of6LiuF8?... #UKPolitics #Polanski #GreenParty
Green Party Leader Zack Polanski Wants To Build A Society That Doesn't Include Anyone From The Right

"There are people who identify as right wing or even far right... Do we think we can change their minds or is it a case of building a society that doesn't include them?"

What the hell does Zack mean by this?
Tell us @ZackPolanski what do you have planned if you ever get into power?

Trump on posting an image of himself as Jesus: "I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor…it's supposed to be me as a doctor." Hahahaha that's how you know his base is upset! For once not doubling down. #USPolitics #Trump

Yeah, they are saying that it was the first flight of the shuttle and it had people on it. Whereas no other spacecraft on its first flight had people on— first flights are usually automated.

You don't win elections by being soft on immigration. That's why we now have Reform UK.

Robin Smith @bobin.uk · 05/03/2026
And before anyone starts: reducing immigration is an extremely popular position in the UK right now. If you think that one Green victory means that Labour should shift that way— then I assume you'll take the same position next time Reform wins a by-election?

BBC HYS is usually scathing against Starmer (bound to be a good portion of bots too), but he's actually getting a good bit of praise/defence on there lately. Need to see some updated favourability polling…fair-weather Labour voters may thinking again? #UKPolitics #Starmer #Labour

This remarkable screenshot of the current top comment on a BBC article about Starmer defending his Iran response perfectly demonstrates what was mentioned in the latest News Agents episode about the British press not representing the public opinion about Iran. #UKPolitics #Labour #Starmer #Iran

With the new cold snap hitting hard after the mild weather in the UK, I can't help but think about Ukrainians without heating especially when looking at their forecast 😳. Just can't imagine going to sleep and waking up in that…how? #Ukraine #UK

No they haven't. It's still good and notable to get any kind of concession to the facts from him though. Wasting your breath expecting an "apology" and it wouldn't change how anyone feels.

Keir Starmer you are fully vindicated. He understood the irreversibility of trashing the relationship and thus the importance of not doing it prematurely. He was determined for Trump to be the one to ultimately trash it and has been proven correct. Well played. #UKPolitics #Starmer #Greenland

Feel free to use my email template (copy from alt text):
I believe that the UK government should use withdrawal from the World Cup this summer as a point of pressure and leverage on the USA to get Trump to back down from invasion of Greenland.

As NATO/Europe we seem to have few options to force the US to back down, but this could be a golden opportunity to put some real pressure on. Please encourage our government to do so.

Agreed that's wrong that they are contributing to conflating immigration with boats. But since immigration has come down, small boat crossings last year were actually 20% of total immigration. migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/br... 200k total with 40k boat crossings.

Early signs of a new wave of traffic to Bluesky following introduction of user-generated child porn feature on Twitter. However I also remember all the weird sexual posts which used to come up when I started using Bluesky…they really ought to fix that if they haven't already. #BlueSky #News #Grok
