Nigel Farage’s visit to Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium has prompted a significant social media backlash.

Ipswich insist Reform UK and Farage were not formally invited by the club … but The Athletic has been told a slightly different story.

@Stuart_Watson The cover up is the bigger problem here!

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?

Pls read part 2 of @thenerve_news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share!

Somebody at the publicly funded @BBC has made an editorial decision to ignore the issue of the Welsh leader of a party they constantly tell us will form the next govt taking bribes from Russia to spread propaganda.

I think we have a right to know who that somebody is. #BBCNews

Live demos continue to rule. Paid more attention to this 8 minute agent building demo than any 8 minute segment of a recent Apple keynote/marketing video.

Firing workers in America is a swift process. Europe’s way is much more cumbersome. This is holding the continent back https://t.co/HyBqqm0JnX

I really hope a team in the UK Home Office is working overtime this weekend, to design a visa & relocation package for phenomenally highly paid US tech workers who need to leave (and internationals who now can't move to the US).

Incredibly low hanging fruit for UK prosperity.

The RFK appointment is grim. Not only for vaccines. It is bad for public health as a whole.

Because Public Health is WAY more than vaccines.

It’s systematically removing barriers to good health, preventing future disease, giving everyone a chance at a healthy life.

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.

Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

This week, I'm exploring what might be possible in Spatial to drive understanding of, and engagement with complex data such as the stock market and wealth management 📈 or I guess atm its more a: 📉

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Still think Tugendhat is, at heart, a decent politician, but this is obviously pitiful. The Tories urgently need to honestly assess what they did in power and it would be nice if people like him led that effort rather than engage in denial and cynicism.

[John West 🕯💙🇺🇦 🗿🦋 @JohnWest_JAWS]

BEFORE the election even took place, @BylineTimes was reporting on the apparent Phantom Reform candidates.

This is far more serious than many (especially @BBCNews & @SkyNews) will realise.

Reform wants to portray its big vote share for legitimacy

British elections are not won on maximising your popular vote. They are won by maximising the distributional efficiency of your vote. The ideal performance looks basically like what Labour did last night. It's almost mathematically perfect. https://t.co/zirgjvOZsc
