Truly overwhelmed by the kindness and support since my #bbcqt trauma live you lot! After 30 years of trying to articulate a coherent argument for the left I now find that a meme of my cringing face is infinitely more powerful than my words! Let's all do it - #facesagainstracism

Really enjoyed watching #England win 7-0 yesterday, bodes well. Under @SuellaBraverman's #ReformUK government however, none of the five goalscorers would be eligible to play.

I'm old enough to remember 2021 when Trump triggered an armed riot in the White House with weasel words like this. #Farage knows exactly what he's doing.
Britain is on the edge of serious civil disturbance. The scenes at Portsmouth are proof that the government isn’t taking this invasion seriously. Reform UK has a plan to stop the boats within the first 100 Days of government. We need a general election now.

If you think the appearance of hooded blackshirts on our streets, just as #Reform is desperately trying to silence allegations of criminal funding is just an unfortunate coincidence, wake the f*ck up.

C'mon #Reform supporters, when your party is telling you that [checks notes] *lifeboat crews* have signed up to some dastardly government plot to overwhelm the UK with criminals, you can see they're full of shit.
The RNLI were not rescuing lives at risk they were ferrying dangerous criminals on super dinghy’s. A total disgrace…

#reform, #restorebritain, and their blackshirted #patriotplatform lackeys defending their right to protest, might want to reflect on the fact that this right is enshrined in Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which they all want to abolish.

I was never very good at 20th century history, so thanks to @Nigel_Farage, @reformparty_uk, @ZiaYusufUK, @RupertLowe10, @RestoreBritain, and Patriot Platform, for their 1930s reenactment. It has helped me understand how dimwitted thugs can be mobilised to aid the rise of fascism.

Any particular reason, @TiceRichard, why you chose to highlight the Muslim guy as one of the 26? #ItsJustClosetRacism
26 new peers in resignation honours None for @reformparty_uk despite leading in over 350 national polls Establishment stitch up again

Now why on earth would Nigel Farage not want to have a police officer following him around or knowing his whereabouts 24 hours a day? Security, my arse!

If you screen out the anger from #ReformUK and their cronies about #AnnWiddecombe's dreadful murder, what you'll hear is the dawning realisation from the far-right that the unfettered #freedomofspeech they've been so wedded to for the last 10+ years, is a fucking terrible idea.

You've got to feel for Honest Bob @RobertJenrick. I don't suppose that during his private school and Cambridge education, then while working for prestigious legal firms in London (and Moscow...), then as a Tory cabinet minister, he ever thought he'd have to use the word 'boozer'.

Exam question - show, in no more than 16 words, that you know nothing about the history of England in international football competition, and at the same time, make a cheap political point. Congrats to @LizKershawDJ, who achieved a masters degree in fuckwittery with this answer.
And this is why you are on your way out..... Can't read the room. Absolutely clueless.

#clacton folks. The things that have changed since you elected 'anti-establishment' Reform UK candidate #farage are: 1. Nigel has 'fessed up to being funded by a billionaire, and 2. His party says they get their cash from "aristocrats". Time to bin him? #votebinface4clacton

Is the #UK still letting this genocidal maniac use our military bases, @Keir_Starmer? And are we also still sending our Head of State to stand shoulder to shoulder with him while he threatens an entire population with extinction? #UsaStateTerrorist #Trump47

I take it this will be your election slogan, @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage? #ReformUK are not your friends.
🚨 NEW: Reform UK's housing chief Simon Dudley says post-Grenfell safety regulations have gone too far "Everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right? You can’t stop tragic things from happening. Fires do happen" [@theipaper]

How to win friends and influence people. #StopTheWar #IranWar‌
Trump brings up Pearl Harbour with the Japanese PM next to him. “Who knows better about surprises than Japan” he said to Japanese journalist in the bilateral, then added: “why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbour?” The question was why he didn’t tell allies about Iran attack

#ReformUK in Kent more interested in political stunts than the lives of its residents.

Fuck this. The UK shouldn't be supporting Trump's illegal #IranWar‌ at all, and putting our military into the middle of his 'bomb now, think later' military strategy would be recklessly endangering UK lives.

While everyone is arguing about the morality of the US bombing Iran, Trump is busy cashing in... How the fuck is this allowed? #MiddleEastWar #DonaldTrump

I know it's all pretty dismal at the moment, so cheer yourself up with the thought of @TiceRichard and @IsabelOakeshott fleeing their Dubai home and having to apply for refugee status. #RefugeesWelcome
