It’s now almost 2 months since Nigel Farage was scheduled to appear on #bbclaurak as part of her Leaders Interview but pulled out due to being “under the weather”
He’s currently in America supporting a foreign president over his own country
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
Well, they are quite isolated geographically in the northern Atlantic, and I wouldn’t blame them for getting nervous. I hope it’s not just that though.
🤢🤢🤮🤮
Not when you’re pandering to the far right and assorted people who view anyone born abroad as less deserving of shelter.
Let's just be really clear here, this is far from an isolated case. The Home Office routinely makes vulnerable people homeless, and yesterday's announcement by the Home Secretary on increasing the removal of support from some asylum seekers will make it worse.

Hypocrisy
You can dodge reality, deny facts, & cover up truth only so long. Every distraction is temporary while truth lives on. Reality wins in the end. Facts have the last word. You cannot undo them, you just cover them up, & that cover can come off at any moment. It's never forever.
#GoodMorning, everyone
No plan, no exit strategy, no responsibility for anything beyond taking out the leader. It’s global scale venal incompetence.
Hey, at least they’re still doing a foreign language. England (I say England deliberately as I’m sure the other nations are more enlightened) has become so insular there isn’t even the requirement any more.
Delusional

Well said, @mp4stratford.bsky.social ! Thank you for raising in parliament issues affecting overseas voting.
The new elections act is a chance to fix it with:
📮 Better postal ballots
🌍 Overseas constituencies
🏢 Using embassies and consulates
Yanar Mohammed, a leading Iraqi feminist and co‑founder of the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated outside her home in Baghdad on March 2, 2026.
For more than two decades, Yanar was one of Iraq’s most courageous advocates for women’s rights.
So we need another million-strong protest in the streets to speak up against joining the US in waging illegal attacks on other countries? I was happy to be at the last one, would be happy to do it again.
“All this stupid little country has to do is stand in line and do what it's told for one miserable day! But can it do that? My fragrant French ARSE it can!”
Reform’s fundamental problem in my view is that their only tools are strife, division and discord- very alien values in a nation that prefers grumbling and getting on with it, stoicism, muddling through and community pulling together. They can only go so far on dividing people before they get fed up
Big weakness for Reform' - comfort zone denial - that party has not a single public champion with confidence, status or bottle to give own side a reality check about why losing by > 10% once Reform v Not-Reform [even to smaller parties]
Farage/Goodwin response is making Reform more Trumpian
I don’t care what Trump calls anyone- he is not a credible witness. I’d rather Starmer did the right thing.
How very like the White House presser room. Man opens his mouth, lies pour out, and nobody challenges him on any of it.
And still the democrats did not *inflict* this man on the nation. Every American should demand better and work to get better governance than this.
The base would not be a target if we weren’t tagging along with Trump’s illegal attack.
Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

The long and short of it is Trump had no congressional approval, and this attack would not have had any grounds under international law. It’s Iraq all over again, so why have yet again trotted along with it?
This 1000% times over 👇👇👇
At this time we must remember heroes like Robin Cook and Charles Kennedy who stood up and opposed the Iraq war.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind. Maybe paying a little more tax isn’t the worst thing in the world. Maybe it’s even *gasp* a public good, as long as it’s being spent on improving our society.
It’s so depressing. What hold does that awful man have over our country, and why can’t we tell him to jog on?
