Dear Mr Tice, Seeking asylum is not illegal. Carrying and using a bladed weapon is. Refusing to disclose a mobil pincode is.

Wrong - it's ignoring climate change, and not doing net zero, that is the suicide pact.

Quite right too. Why the fuck should Ukraine simply agree to hand over land the Russians are trying to steal? If armed men attempted to carjack on of Kushneres autos, would he be willing to say simply, "Go ahead"?

Nigel Farage "honoured and humbled" that yet another convicted money launderer is helping him.

Horrifying: Johannesburg, 1969. Doornfontein station was in an inner city larley industrial area, so large numbers of factory workers, dependent on public transport. White employees were fewer, and better paid managerial/admin workers, who may have travelled by car rather than commuter train.

It's widely believed that Americans have a poor grasp of world geography. As far as Africa is concerned at least, this proves it. A map prepared by the State Department "mis-identified the locations of Cote d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Nigeria by enormous margins".

This is just one of the reasons Farage will not be PM. Most polling projections show him just short of a majority, so would need a coalition with Tories, which Kemi says she won't do. Also: recent by-elections in Wales, Denton and Makerfield show the importance of tactical voting against Reform.

"Sex offenders" includes Trump. Is he really serious that he would not allow his great idol to visit UK? Or should we just accept, as usual, that we cannot believe anything he says?

Which party leader would make the best Prime Minister? In head to head polling from YouGov, Ed Davey beats Farage, Starmer and Polanski, and is within margin of error against Badenoch. Badenoch now doing better than previously. Polanski ahead only against Farage, who loses against all.

Once again, Nigel Farage displays his ignorance.u Of course Trump's Venezuela adventure will encourage Russian and China to "think again" - but not in a good way. It will demonstrate to them that might is right - and encourage them in their own adventures in their areas on influence.

Terry Weldon @terryweldon.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
International law does not support unprovoked attacks on foreign countries, nor kidnapping their leaders. Keir Starmer and you should have made that clear in your response. Trump's actions in Venezuela are simply not acceptable.

It's "someone else's fault" because in this case, it is - as the OBR itself acknowledge in an apology at the time. <img src="https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:le3snqzui22uenjjk7v4btfb/bafkreiazridyqc4qj7g3xjox2vvwihce4ohny6oggzbjooiok66rqudwge@jpeg"/>

The myth that this is UKIP, not Reform: When Farage left UKIP to form Brexit, so did virtually all his MEPs and councillors. In effect, UKIP became Brexit. When Brexit became Reform, that was just a change of name at companies house. open.substack.com/pub/monkdebu...

Richard Tice, claiming that parents are abusing the SEND provision for getting children to school. Does he have any idea how difficult it is to get kids onto a SEND program of any kind (not specifically taxis). Reality is that far to many parents who really need the support just can't get it.

Far from being "broken" as Farage lies to us, there is much in this country that is going really well. In this chart, eg, each of these indicators has improved by more than half. Right wing agitators don't want you to know that. www.thetimes.com/article/63b7...
