I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Farage honks his mouth off about ongoing police investigations, when told not to. His Welsh leader is in prison for taking bribes from Russia. He whips up riots. He’s in bed with Trump, foreign money, crooks and crypto billionaires…. A massive problem with national security is Farage himself.

'We have a massive problem with national security': Farage challenged on Fairford speculation
Reform UK leader told his social media followers the five men arrested after an RAF Fairford situation were "Iranian nationals". Sky's Rob Powell spoke to him after it was confirmed the men arrested are British nationals.

Last weekend, Rupert Lowe MP called on "the establishment" to stop referring to Restore Britain as “somehow ‘nazi’”. Unfortunately for Lowe, we have repeatedly exposed the neo-Nazis, fascists and ethnonationalists within the party. 🧵 hopenothate.org.uk/2026/09/29/r...

The rise in small boat crossings was entirely due to Brexit, promoted by Nigel Farage, and the deal done by Boris Johnson Their attempts to shift blame to anyone else is utterly despicable hypocrisy

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Given that Reform want to be "the toughest party on law and order this country has ever seen" and wants to "drive knives off our streets" I should imagine that they'll be condemning Danny Tommo's activities using a knife in the strongest possible terms.

The new MRP poll out today shows Progressives who vote tactically to stop Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could push his party into FOURTH place. The poll also shows Burnham’s Labour is winning back left-leaning voters by two to one. WE are the silent majority.

Excellent coverage by the brilliant Victoria Derbyshire, we need to be seeing this kind of reporting everywhere. The charges against Danny Tommo not yet been disclosed, but given there was someone on the boat, and he knew there was someone on the boat, I'd say attempted murder.

Question for the timeline: If Rishi Sunak, born in England, raised in England and a former British PM, cannot be “English” because he isn’t white, what is Englishness being defined by? Nationality? Culture? Or blood? Because that distinction matters rather a lot, and leads down a damned dark road.

So, £72million from crypto billionaires to get Reform “ready for government”. Absolutely no chance. They have over 300 candidates to find and this is their track record… They attract total liabilities and Reform is too racist, corrupt and idiotic to recruit anything better.
