Musk's divisive #disinformation is absurd. ZERO UK neighbourhoods are “literally lawless”; all have active policing and legal oversight. Per capita, Britain’s lower violent crime rates make it far safer than the US, where homicides and property crimes are significantly higher.

The problem is not the fact that Mr Farage is given excessive exposure by the media; it's the fact that he is given *favourable* exposure by the media. #r4today

In his speech to Reform conference today in Birmingham, Nigel Farage will predict the Labour government will fall in 2027. He believes combo of spooked markets amid difficult economic times & up to 80 Labour MPs splitting off to join new Corbyn party after inevitable austerity

Of all the ‘tax dodgers’ to pursue as a society, as a people, as a country we pursue…. Angela Rayner…. I can hear the guffaws right along the West Coast of the US…. in the St James Clubs… across private equity…. on the world’s fleet of private jets…. it is quite a feat

I find the way we destroy people with the courage to enter politics in this country utterly depressing. It is why I got out of newspapers. It isn’t just Angela Rayner. Read Sarah Vine’s book about the effect MPs expense farrago had on Michael Gove… we are red in tooth and claw

If you’re celebrating a foreign media empire, owned by billionaires, that evades billions in tax offshore while radicalising millions, finally smearing and hounding a working class woman out of a job she had to fight harder than any man to attain, then you’re a bootlicking idiot.

Angela Rayner resigns as Deputy PM & Deputy Labour Leader. Meanwhile five homes Nigel Farage acts as the part-time MP for Clacton; Richard Tice is a part-time MP spending large parts of time in Dubai. And the UK rancid right-wing press try to destroy anyone they consider a threat

"He's done everything he could to break down this country, and now he's going off to tell everyone abroad how broken we are." Nigel Farage loves the UK so much, he flew to America this week to tell Congress how awful it is. Is this patriotism? thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-sh…

Too little, if any, of the Angela Rayner coverage reflects the reality three editors have parked cars outside her homes and pursued her since and before the election. They got their target. But they choose who they take down, who they ignore, who they celebrate. And who they

What utter dickheads we are… Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal Farage and his MPs voted it down No sick pay from day one. No protections. Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on

Now that you've done Reform, Laura, I'm looking forward to your insights about what Labour's changes mean for the Lib Dems, the Green Party, the SNP, and Plaid Cymru. You know, in the interests of impartiality and all. #royalcharter Ofcom Laura Kuenssberg bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Five police officers arrest an RAF veteran in a wheelchair for holding a piece of paper. So weird how Elon Musk Nigel Farage MP & all the free speech warriors are silent on this?
