There's PLENTIFUL evidence that Russia interfered in the EU referendum. Most sensible people on both sides accept that as a fact. If Farage can counter this obvious truth then he should present his case to us all rather than grandstanding and lazily calling Burnham a "liar".

The BBC justified massive coverage of Reform when they seemed to be a possible party of govt. Now with declining ratings, they’re mired in scandal and losing by-elections, and councillors are resigning by the score. They have 1.2% of MPs, but unelected Yusuf still has a BBC season ticket. Why?

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

As Trump gifts Putin a financial and propaganda victory, let's take a moment to remember all those British politicians who have endorsed the US President and repeatedly hitched themselves to his egregious bandwagon.

Let me shock you - the Tories will double down on this number and no-one in the broadcast media will challenge them, so it will become an established truth rather than the lie that it is.

Leader of party - that sold its own shrivelled soul to the devils of austerity and Brexit - will use her conference speech to slag off Labour (yawn) and make the only promise the Tories ever make - cutting taxes… They have nothing new or credible… or just plain nice… to say any more.

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

We need to move on from the toxic politics of 'welfare', with its pejorative connotations of dependence (used to be known as social security!), to the politics of 'well-being', whereby everyone has a meaningful stake - and related opportunities - in the society to which they belong.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.
