The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters. A.G
At this point is Liz Truss's lack of self-reflection her most consistent achievement?
Neil's upset Starmer's honours list doesn't have enough "wealth creators." Such a retro phrase from when we still believed in trickle-down economics. These days, "wealth collectors" seems more accurate. So you're a "jobsworth" if you work for a salary, but a "wealth creator" if you collect billions
So the NHS got its £350m a week, waiting lists fell,immigration was controlled, wages soared, food got cheaper, businesses thrived, and young people could finally afford homes... None of that happened. But hey, Farage might become PM. Whatever they're paying her to post this drivel, it's not enough.
Matt Godwin posting this in the aftermath of Ann Widdecombe's death to push a list of political grievances is quite the way to seize the moment. The rest is just culture-war buzzwords thrown into a blender. If you think that's serious politics, I've got some magic beans to sell you. 👇😒
So, just to be clear: the real outrage isn't the Nigel Farage' £5m unconditional—sorry, "security"—gift. It's anyone who dares ask about it. Ask questions, you're a "ghoul." Stay quiet, you're one of the good guys. Have I got that right? 👇😒
The moment police confirmed they were investigating whether Ann Widdecombe's murder was politically motivated, you could almost hear Reform's spin machine firing up: "Stop asking about Farage's £5m unconditional—sorry, 'security'—gift from a crypto billionaire. You're the real problem." Anyhow 👇🤷♀️
Wow, he convinced me. No policies, no evidence, no explanation-just "Britain needs Reform." I'll just switch my brain off & believe slogan solves every problem facing the UK, ignore any inconvenient questions surrounding Farage. Repeat "stop the boats." Ta-da Britain instantly fixes itself. Simple.
Why are so many people making fools of themselves defending Farage? Ms Oakeshott asked why nobody said Burnham was “arguing with a bin” (Makerfield by-election)?!? Then came the claim that the “idiots” (other parties) were “blindsided” and had nothing left but mockery. The desperation is obvious.
Richard Tice's "defence" may be the most spectacular own goal of the year. Nothing says "anti-establishment" like 50-year family ties to aristocrats and a £500,000 donor. 🤨 The revolution will, apparently, be funded by the aristocracy. 👇😆
Every day brings another naive attempt to defend Farage. One conflates personal donations with party donations. Another cries "danger to democracy" because they don't understand that investigations are exactly how a functioning democracy works. Being outraged is easier than being informed.👇🤨
Kay Burley OMG! Calling Prince Andrew a “war hero” to an Epstein survivor was a shocking failure of empathy and judgment. This is a woman who was a journalist—someone who should understand the power of words and the importance of accountability.
Every major party has decided it's not to field a candidate in Clacton. Why spend weeks as the supporting cast in Farage's latest publicity stunt? The only consensus left in British politics seems to be that nobody wants to be an unpaid extra in The Nigel Farage Show.
Ahh Nigel Farage and his fanboys.🙄 Same recycled drivel: "The establishment is terrified!" "He's getting our country back!" Back from what? Didn't Brexit already do that? Nobody's scared of Farage. They're scared of how available he seems to the highest bidder.
Watching Reform defend Farage is almost comedy. Yesterday Robert Jenrick played the muppet, today Laila Cunningham is making a fool of herself. Reform spent years attacking others over peanuts. Now they're defending Farage pocketing vast sums of donor money. The hypocrisy writes itself.
Starmer's farewell narrative is that he "stabilised the economy" & left Labour a winning platform? The public will write his legacy—not farewell interviews. For many, it will be his support for Israel's actions in Gaza, the crackdown on pro-Palestine voices, Mandelson's influence & broken promises.
Here we go again. Neil attacks the language,not the argument. Calling neoliberalism & trickle-down buzzwords doesn't refute the claim Calling them terms used to "sound smart" is ad hominem. If Burnham is wrong, explain how privatisation delivered better outcomes for the public, not just investors.
Oh dear... Andrew Neil is worried Andy Burnham doesn't know what he's talking about. And has no time to learn.🫣 Apparently, because water and electricity are already regulated, nothing can ever be improved. Flawless logic. Once it's regulated, it must work perfectly forever. Who knew?
Lisa Nandy leaving X would usually make me think, "Good. I wish every politician would." But she's the Culture Secretary!? When the minister responsible for our digital public square decides the answer is to leave, it says a lot about the government's willingness to confront Big Tech.
The king of dog whistles strikes again. Today's lie: "Britain only builds new homes for asylum seekers and Prime Ministers." A five-second fact check kills it. Most new homes are lived in by British residents. Fear sells. Facts don't.
Ed Davey raised an example of racist intimidation in Parliament. The response? Mockery, denial, and whataboutism. That's how racism survives: not just through those who spread it, but those who refuse to acknowledge it. You can't fix what you pretend doesn't exist.👇😞
Andy Burnham gave one speech. Not one Budget. Not one law. One speech. The right-wing outrage machine has already skipped straight to "Britain is doomed." From the same people who think Nigel Farage is a serious plan for the country's future. The irony writes itself.
Imagine lecturing people about the 'elite' while charging £22,500 an hour to plug a gold dealer. The irony must be worth its weight in gold. 🤨
Trevor Phillips' take on Starmer's collapse is GCSE politics.🙄 He blames welfare & migration, but ignores why many people came to hate him: his complicity in the genocide in Gaza, the crackdown on pro-Palestine voices, freebies, Mandelson and broken promises.
Andy Burnham didn't say he's not moving into No10. He didn't say he'd be PM from his living room in Manchester either. I can't tell if she's that shallow or if she's spent so long in a right-wing echo chamber that anything outside the populist drivel gets translated into a dog whistle.
So Robert Jenrick is saying Nigel Farage is the only leader who can be trusted to leave the ECHR. 🙄 For once, I believe him. Yep, Nigel Farage is probably the only leader reckless and vicious enough to drag us out of it.
Nigel Farage built his career controlling the right and crushing anyone who threatened his spotlight. Lowe and Habib found that out. Now the monsters he fed are turning on him. The best part? His own supporters are finally seeing that Farage's first loyalty has always been to himself, not Britain.
Mayim Bialik fears her kids may be upset because they saw an anti-Zionist T-shirt. Palestinian children fear being killed, losing their parents, or being taken to Israeli prisons, where they are being abused and tortured, and many never making it back home.
