"This is a genuine first in UK politics. Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket." bylinetimes.com/2026/07/08/n....

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness
The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov

So we have full 2025 immigration stats - Total net down by 2/3rds in 2025 (3/4 from peak) - Small boat arrivals in 2026 down 40%. Asylum backlog down 48%; returns up 9% - Asylum seekers in hotels down 35% (down 48% from peak) YET PUBLIC PERCEPTION 49% think 2025 saw increase; only 16% know it fell
Graph showing total net migration fell by two thirds in 2025. Graph showing use of supported accommodation lowest since 2022. Use of hotels halved from 2022 peak.Asylum applications, January 2025 to December 2025

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

"It’s like something out of House of Cards - where she gets the knife in first, before she is knifed herself." Kemi Badenoch has 'stolen the thunder' from Farage - sacking Jenrick before he had the chance to defect. Will the move strengthen her hand?

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Reform’s Russia connections are a danger to our national security. It’s time for a public inquiry. 🔥

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us." What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that. What contempt for voters. ~AA

Things I know about Angela Rayner: - she’d never use tax payers money to heat stables - she’d never say ‘let the bodies pile high’ - she’d never owe £5m to HMCR - she’d never watch tractor porn - she’d never lie to the King/prorogue Parliament She’s 1 of the good ones.Keep her!

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

⚠️Warning⚠️ As I have been saying for the last few years, charter cities will devour the UK, abolish the welfare state, and destroy the environment by turning entire cities into competing feudal entities. Absolute chaos and societal breakdown will ensue. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHC2...

News out today that Donald Trump will demand access to the UK market for US hormone-pumped beef & pork in return for a trade deal. That's why voters in every constituency in England, Scotland & Wales want to prioritise trade with the EU. Tell your MP 👇 www.bestforbritain.org/back_eu_trade

Labour received £4 million from Quadrature just before the GE, this was not reported in the MSM. Starmer recently announced a Govt partnership with Blackrock, the most criminally corrupt shadow bank in the world that owns almost everything. Thread

Hang on, Labour building affordable housing that we desperately need is being slated as a “controversial” by the media? Having already been slated for *checks notes* stopping race riots and paying nurses/ teachers properly? Those evil bastards. What will they do next? Give schoolkids breakfast?
