Ever since that goddam referendum, politicians have taken to telling us what we do or don’t want, based on a result that was achieved dishonestly and where the ensuing shitshow has never been scrutinised and no one responsible for it has ever been held to account. Bring that conversation on.

The best explanation I've seen about Farage's dodgy £5m gift for getting Brexit through (?). Why does Farage keep getting away with it?! #Reform #Labour #Green #Starmer

Farage doesn't think the usual rules apply to him. He thinks he's a special case and that the world needs to stand around clapping as some Thai dwelling crypto billionaire hands him £5 million for making Brexit happen. This is NOT normal www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.
Today we announce a new policy:


In order to deport all illegal migrants in
Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of
thousands at a time.


Migrants will not be able to leave these
detention centres, and each will be held
there a couple of weeks before being
deported.


So here's our promise:


A Reform government will not put any
migrant detention facilities in any
constituency with a Reform MP.


Nor will we put them where Reform
controls the council.


And of the remaining areas, we will
prioritise Green controlled parliamentary
constituencies and Green controlled
councils to locate the detention centres.


Put simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee yPut simply, if you vote in a Reform
council or Reform MP, we guarantee you
won't have a detention centre near you


If you vote Green, there's a good chance
you will,


This is an important exercise in
democratic consent, not just for our
mass deportation policy, but for where
the detention centres are placed


Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates
for open borders, I look forward to their
warm embrace of this policy

Good riddance to hereditary peers. This country remains in thrall to aristocracy and inherited privilege, and it's an absolute cancer. "Birth right" bollocks should not afford anyone a higher status than others in 2026. Ludicrous crap.

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum? There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

15 December - The Birth of Speedway - On This Day - Triumph Motorcycle Forum
3 An early version of speedway was born at Maitland, New South Wales, Australia in 1923 when New Zealand rider Johnny S. Hoskins organised a sports charity carnival called the Electric Light Carnival, staged on the Maitland Showground. Hoskins realised that there was a gap in the program of events and a couple of young, local motorcyclists told him that they were prepared to fill the gap by racing around the show ground’s grassy track. Allan Roper on the Duggie he rode at that historic sp...
