Brains of #brexit.
Dislike #FBPE, evidence & facts.
3rd best Hannan parody, try to make it really obvious as too close to what real brexiters actually say.
Yesterday, a pack of blackshirts turned up at the Mail’s offices & the police opened a criminal investigation into Farage’s funding.
And this is the front page today. Honestly, so much of the British press is a busted flush. It’s just embarrassing.
I haven't had a chance to watch #bbclaurak yet this morning, but it appears Farage has been allowed to lie his way through another BBC interview, utterly unchecked.
He was NOT told by counterterror police or any other police force, to stay away from the stage at Reform conference.
Just a plain old lie that was fact-checked by West Mids police yesterday afternoon.
Laura Kuenssberg knew this was a lie when she interviewed him but made a decision to allow the lie to pass.
What happened to ethics? Where has the BBC gone wrong?
Shocking.
"Counter terror [police] won’t let him on stage yet,” a senior Reform figure has told the BBC, as the delay to Nigel Farage’s speech at the Reform UK conference continues

🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage & Reform exposed 🚨
We went undercover for a year to investigate illicit foreign donations. To watch the full 35-minute investigation follow link in bio.
Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.
Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.
You can watch the full investigation here: https://t.co/f1g358fN2Y
Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.
"The people doing the filming.. were founded by.. the centre for climate reporting"
So the BBC is going to start highlighting the origin of all news reports? The next time you cover a story in the Daily Mail you'll point out its owned by a billionaire tax avoider, will you?
If Orr and Jukes have had to step down then so should Farage. He was in on the whole thing, as was clear from the footage. Waiting to hear bluster from Richard Stupid Tice shortly … a clue to his conduct. The louder he shouts the guiltier they are
If the Channel 4 Verbatim documentary had been about Labour, the right wing media would now be screaming about the need for police to get involved. Which they should. Cambridge University should clearly suspend Orr
I hope there are journalists , producers & news editors at BBC News who are ashamed that they aren’t breaking this story which affects our national security & democracy. I also hope that someone in our national broadcaster will break rank & find the courage to tell us why .
So, basically… those “independent” polls that helped create the headlines about Reform surging? Reform had commissioned them and undercover reporters secretly funded them through a US company.
Telegraph ran with them. Lol
And Farage apparently thought the polling was “amazing” because, in his words, “it worked.”
.... tell us again how everyone else is the establishment?!?!
Andy Burnham looking pretty relaxed and comfortable at the Despatch Box. Clearly going to try to keep going with a more consensual style. Got a pretty clear sense of priorities too. Glad to hear him spell out clearly the damage done by Brexit and the damage done by Gove reforms in education and the commitment to go to COP31. Both are only kept afloat by a right wing media that doesn’t want to face up to the consequences of the politics and policies they support(ed).
‘£30 billion lost’: Six major studies confirm Brexit’s HUGE toll on UK economy
In 10 days' time, MPs will be summoned to debate the economic impact of Brexit.

🚨 Ten years after Brexit referendum, the House of Commons Library has assessed the evidence in advance of a Westminster Hall debate on Wednesday 2 September led by @PeteWishart
Its conclusion?
There is a broad consensus among economists that Brexit has made the UK economy smaller than it otherwise would have been.
Estimates of the GDP loss: 2–8%.
OBR long-term assumption: 4%.
Expected hit to UK trade: 15%.
Meanwhile EU net migration fell below zero but non-EU migration surged, peaking above 1 million.
We sacrificed freedom of movement, erected barriers with our largest market and made ourselves poorer.
And overall migration went UP.
Ten years of evidence.
How much more evidence do we need before Britain changes course?
Ed Davey, "The small boats crisis has been caused by Reform UK and the Conservatives, and their Brexit support"
"Before we left the EU we could return people and now we can't"
"But if we join the EU’s Migration and Asylum Pact, we could return every single person who came over on a small boat"
"That would recreate the deterrent effect we used to have"
"Labour's one-in-one-out scheme has failed. Only 4% of people who came over on small boats have returned. We want it to be 100%'
"That's why our scheme would work, it would get the number down to zero, and it would say the taxpayer billions"
"This is a deal that Labour must look at"
"And I'm afraid Reform UK and the Conservatives should hang their heads in shame for having caused this problem and now exploiting it"
oh look a lesson from a man who never put a uniform on..just worked at bank. A man who is literally making policy and facts up. A man who cant even get his own party to pick him as an MP ( tell us why please?). When Reform stop taking £5m bungs and start being honest with people then people might take you seriously. No one is saying dont send prisoners back when you can but dont lie to the public you can do it with a magic wand. You guys are getting desperate. After all you recruited Suella!
