To be fair to the Express, I'm not sure they know that the war is over.

The only fury was from Farage, which tells you everything. Everyone else's response was "Tell us something we didn't know".

Not forgetting Honest Bob doing his porn-publishing mate a favour of dubious legality. Repulsive is the word.

BBC journalism continues to plummet to new depths of cowardice. The man is a racist whistle-blower, a crook, and has worked for Russian state media. Why isn't he being crucified every time he goes on air?

Possibly Farage's integrity, but it's a close run thing. What a pair of weasels.

The party responsible for where we are - via austerity and Brexit - arrogantly demands that we take them seriously as the next government. These people should never be allowed near power again.

As one of the 14, I think this piece pretty much sums up everything I believe about the ..Up series. Thoughtful and perceptive. Thank you.

Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.
Wildfire in Clacton
AS temperatures soared on Friday, Essex fire authorities reported things were so bad that a man's pants had caught fire.
The individual, identified as Nigel Farage, had claimed Essex police had told him to keep away from his by-election declaration.
"We've never seen such an enormous fire coming from a single pair of Union Jack Y-fronts," said a police spokesman. "We urge members of the public to avoid pants on fire by at least coming up with a half-decent excuse for their cowardice."

You really have to wonder if the Tory Party is in existential decline. Currently led by a woman who regards belief in net zero or the ECHR as bigger disqualifiers than a Nazi past, and with no one remotely sane and/or brave emerging as a potential leader, I don't see them ever winning a GE again.

Let's be honest, Johnson disappointed no one. We all knew he was a liar and a bullshitter. Burnham is a serious man, and I will be disappointed if he doesn't succeed.

Robert Jenrick has a meltdown on #C4News He refuses to accept that there are parliamentary rules that Nigel Farage may have broken And insists the only people who can judge Nigel Farage are the people of Clacton 😅 - Whatever you do, please don't share this humiliating clip

The decline of a once great news programme continues. Today editorial policy is basically to chase the tabloid headlines.

She's missing the point, as usual. The rules governing donations state unequivocally that the £5M should have been declared once he'd been elected.

This is what Farage, Reform and Brexit have done. This is where a very ugly obsession with immigration leads. To this. To “appalling levels of racism and unfair treatment.” To ordinary people being made miserable, day in, day out, at work. What a shameful place to be. www.tuc.org.uk/news/shockin...

I'm not a huge fan of Corbyn but he's absolutely right on this. Supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people does not mean I'm antisemitic. It's not difficult to grasp this.

George Eaton is right. Labour have continued to run an election campaign that no longer works, and the LDs, Greens and the nationalists have benefited. A wake-up is long overdue, starting with shooting the dead horse that is Brexit.

I have read it. The conclusion was not that the plans weren't costed but that, in their opinion, the costings (and the IFS liked some of the proposals) weren't sufficiently thorough e.g. impact on debt.
100
draiglerpwl.bsky.social @draiglerpwl.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
The IFS' opinion was of the party's costings, not that there weren't any. I am not engaging with either party but am simply suggesting that, as far as the IFS is concerned, more detail is needed. That has to be a consideration for an undecided voter like me.

draiglerpwl.bsky.social @draiglerpwl.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
That's not what I said. I simply pointed out that an impartial and respected organisation has not accepted your argument.

draiglerpwl.bsky.social @draiglerpwl.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
Fair point, but if I'm unimpressed, and it's people like me he needs to bring over, then I won't be the only one.

draiglerpwl.bsky.social @draiglerpwl.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
Well, the IFS thought otherwise, and I've always regarded their analyses as rigorous and strictly impartial. They've shredded Labour and Tory manifestos in the past.

draiglerpwl.bsky.social @draiglerpwl.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
No problem with him having fun at a rave, but he's a politician, and he knows that everything he says is going out there, and this sounds a bit 6th form. And the IFS aren't impressed with the lack of detail re spending. I like much of what he's said, but I want to hear more than platitudes.
