“Those years when he’d fly halfway across the world for a selfie to prove… how close they were? Now he had to accept the brutal truth: the guy is toxic, electoral kryptonite. A loser.” Farage was a Trump mega fan. Time he paid his own electoral price for that. www.independent.co.uk/voices/donal...

Compare and contrast… Reporting on the Brexit reset from the FT and the Sun… A grown up v an absolute child. Analysis v a pathetic strop. Facts v name-calling nonsense. “£17bn economic boost to UK GDP” v “lifting a few nitpicking checks” Embarrassing petulance. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Dear god “Brexit created a “mind-blowing” c.2billion extra pieces of paperwork for businesses~enough to wrap around the world 15 times. Now, HMRC figures show UK traders’ costs topped £1.8bn in 2022 alone” What a truly insane waste of everyone’s time and money www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“The children in these households face severe deprivation, with long-term effects on their health and wellbeing” Mahmood and @andyburnham.bsky.social should read these letters and explain to us all why they intend to treat people in such a cruel and arbitrary way www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Oh dear Nigel Farage. Your councillors were meant to be your showboaters… your proof that you were a party fit for power. What a holy show that’s all turned out to be… Nothing but a bunch of raging degenerates. None of you should be anywhere near power. Ever. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A decent country wouldn’t inflict this on people. It’s not what a fair-minded, responsible govt would do. It’s scapegoating the world’s most vulnerable people to placate the far right… who won’t be placated until they’ve torched all our rights, so they can more easily terrorise the people they hate.

Jenrick is just a liar. But #r4today focused on the cost of immigration, not the benefits. Great to be starting a more honest debate on Brexit but we urgently need a more honest debate on immigration too. The vast majority of immigrants come here to make a life and to contribute. Racism is ruinous.

Another welcome injection of reality on the whole Brexit farce. And also good to be finally talking about the ruinous mess it’s made, in a world that’s moved on without us and become more predictably dangerous too. But this does make those Labour red lines seem very stupid indeed.

Badenoch and Farage don’t want us to talk about Brexit because it’s a shitshow. Their shitshow. They don’t want to be held responsible for the damage they’ve done or face up to how to fix it. They talk about “Brexit betrayal” but the betrayal is Brexit itself. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Note to Badenoch… You plan to leave the ECHR which means renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement and the Brexit deal, as well as the improvements Labour has made to that deal. Not so much “reopening the Brexit debate” as blowing everything up and starting all over again. Now THAT is a terrible idea.

Apart from Reform and the Tories… Jenrick cannot *ever* be honest about freedom of movement. He was a Tory immigration minister who oversaw a record high in net migration and who voted Remain in 2016. His whole political career is built on scheming bullshit. www.independent.co.uk/voices/andy-...

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

And true to form, Farage and the Tories (Philp) respond by being totally dishonest about it… Freedom of movement with the EU requires EU citizenship. Immigration requires visas. Talk of ‘betrayal’ and ‘uncontrolled migration’ is the mark of a liar or a fool. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Trump's British apologists are finally starting to calculate… their potential reward for supporting this lame duck President in the US is no longer worth the growing cost to their reputations in the UK” Too late, Farage. Too much MAGA money. Too much fawning. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/trumps-apo...

“Farage campaigned for Trump in the last 3 presidential elections and notably came to his defence at a low moment when Trump fell badly behind in 2016 over his grotesque “grab ’em by the pussy” remarks” Farage will never dump Trump. He owes too much to MAGA money and the far right oligarchy.

I mean… How long do we have to put up with this shit? We really do get it. Farage’s greed makes him an insane security threat. And there’s absolutely nothing altruistic or democratic or good for the country that will come from his frenzied corruption. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
