I see the papers which screamed ‘tAKe bACK ConTRol’ now want the UK to be nothing but an obedient servant of the USA

A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.

You're not a "true entrepreneur" unless you make sure other people bear the weight of your losses.

You can dispute the accuracy of the poll while still disagreeing with the sentiment of the statement. Or you can throw a massive huff like he does here.

Any journalists who come up against Reform's new London man Robin Wales should definitely be digging into LOBO loans and trigger ballots, alongside council financial scandals in Rotten Boroughs in @privateeyenews.bsky.social issues passim.

Longest-serving London Labour mayor Sir Robin Wales joins Reform UK Sir Robin Wales accuses the Labour Government of ‘losing its moral compass’ as he joins Reform UK

It's true. The village where I live, Trumpton (ironically enough), is ruled by a ruthless Islamic mullah sultan called 'Windy Miller' who was allowed to put windmills everywhere after converting to fundamentalist Islam. Under Sharia law he hangs us from the blades if we speak English or love Jesus.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

One of the things you learn in cultural anthropology is that who you choose as “hero (voters)” says a lot about your values. Letting Mattinson and McSweeney do the choosing has led them to this.

I reckon a good 20% of the Reform votes were Hannah Spencer’s customers, who know it’s harder to replace a decent plumber than an MP

Gorton and Denton by-election result:


GRN: 40.7% (+27.5)
REF: 28.7% (+14.7)
LAB: 25.4% (-25.3)
CON: 1.9% (-6.0)
LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1)


Green GAIN from Labour.

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.

It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.

Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.

Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.

Green Party got 47% in the Gorton & Denton by-election

That brings the total arrests so far over the contents of the Epstein files to two. Both British. None in the United States.
