Mick Lynch on Reform & Restore ‘they are all as despicable as each other to me & working class people should turn away from the hatred they spread … you believe in isolating people & taking advantage of poverty so you can divide them & make your friends even richer.’

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”
“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”
Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62
Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.
She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.
Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.
Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
“I said it’s good of Nigel Farage to speak out about the murder of Henry Nowak. What did I say Roy?”
“You said he’s a cynical piece of shit who’s exploiting a tragedy to spread hatred and division”
Since 19th March - 67 votes in Parliament
Farage has not voted in a single one
£8216 per month before tax paid by the taxpayer
2 months of achieving net zero for those who voted him in to Clacton
He is just laughing at the taxpayer
2017: Nigel Farage in the European Parliament complaining about perceived foreign interference in Brexit
2026: Nigel Farage saying that foreign based crypto billionaire gave him £5,000,000 as a reward for campaigning for Brexit
Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.
Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.
Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?
🔥 Brexit reality in one vox pop from Merthyr Tydfil 🏴
“This place used to have tons of funding… now everything has kind of fallen apart. I don’t feel like I can really stay here either.”
“You’re going to move?”
“Yeah, probably back to Dublin… there’s just more opportunity. There really isn’t anything here.”
An Irish worker leaving post-Brexit Wales for a booming Dublin 🇮🇪
Once, EU funding helped hold places like Merthyr together 👉over €2bn invested across West Wales & the Valleys.
The opportunity has moved. The investment has gone and people are following it.
This is the human cost of Brexit. And this is the proof of @Nigel_Farage Brexit lies.

Wales suffered through 14 years of tory austerity. Wales has never voted tory in over 100 years
Why now would they vote for the turquoise tories because reform is full of them. Why would you want our public services to suffer even more?
Make it make sense
Badenoch leaning very heavily into Mandelson’s alleged links to Russia but she was a Tory MP when her then boss, Boris Johnson, put the son of an actual KGB agent into the House of Lords and she said the grand total of fuck all about it

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.
Here's Richard Tice saying if Angela Rayner had any integrity or moral decency she would resign for underpaying stamp duty by £40k.
I'm sure he will soon be making a statement calling for his own resignation after he failed to pay £100k and £91k in tax.
Gent in gray slams Reform UK #BBCQT
"Deform UK talk of fantastic gain but I wouldn't trust them with a knife and fork, frankly"
"They can't run a council in Kent without arguing with each other"
"Their leader has just become our top crypto currency sales person this week"
"And one of their top priorities in Wales is to do away with the 20mph speed limit"
"My average speed on the way here tonight was 7mph"
"I don't know if Leader of Reform UK in Wales Dan Thomas has ever driven in Cardiff, but of the top 100 issues Wales faces, the 20mph leader is not one of them"
Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.
I agree with Chris that Starmer spending 30k on a flat is a disgrace, whereas Boris Johnson spending £200k was of no interest, according to an article he wrote in 2021.
Nigel Farage earns over a million pounds a year.
Still claims £160,900 in expenses (benefits)
Moans about people abusing benefits.
But not himself, of course.
