Now we have got that by election over and done with. Can we get back to finding out why Farage was gifted 5 million quid and lobbied the BoE

[Laura @lawlla]

@dothefunkgibbon @LBC Um, yes we do dickhead

[Paul Castle @Goto_paulcastle]

@LBC When a leader starts meeting difficult targets, and the conversation immediately turns to replacing him, it raises an interesting question:
Who exactly benefits from the change?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

First Caerphilly…

Then Gorton and Denton

Now Makerfield

Even with the press and billionaires firmly on your side, you lose

We don’t want your division, rage and riots

Hope that’s clear now 🇬🇧❤️✌🏽

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

You know what Burnham and Markerfield proves?

This is a good country. Full of good people. This app is false. It’s a meeting point for wankers who share racist and xenophobic ideas.

You lot crack on, best of luck. England is REAL offline. That’s the best England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🩵🫱🏾‍🫲🏻🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

If we needed anymore evidence that much of what we see on X is fake, these are the Makerfield by election results:

LABOUR: 24,937
REFORM: 15,696
RESTORE: 3,111
CONSERVATIVES: 997
GREEN: 308

Rupert Lowe has over 850,000 "followers" on X - one of the most of any British political figure, all his posts are highly botted with 10,000s of likes. His party barely scraped 3000 votes and have never come close to winning a seat. Not even Rupert's own seat was won as part of Restore.

Faking engagement to convince people of popularity in the manner he does is election fraud. It is also incredibly likely all this is foreign funded, and undeclared - again, election fraud.

So much of what you read on X about UK politics and the UK in general is funded propaganda intended to overthrow the people's elected representation, and replace it with representation that supports elites and grifters whose sole purpose is to serve their own means, and hurt working people. We must continue to fight against this misinformation if we love our country. 🇬🇧

The British people have once again rejected grift and division.

@ObserverUK Whoah! Loving this detail. Dinner with @Telegraph owners Barclay Brothers & Nigel Farage on the day after LeaveEU press launch. You know what else happened then?? Banks & Wigmore were discussing gold & diamond deals inside the Russian embassy. I know! Let's Take Back Control...

@Michael21859730 @GBPolitcs I thought politics needed to stay out of football?

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

There is no amount of money you could offer me to humiliate myself on a daily basis the way Vance does. The guy simply has no core, no shame, no charisma. He is the purest sock puppet to ever disgrace political office, an empty suit making human sounds.

Two tier media

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

Now the digital penny drops. Farage said the £5 Million he was given by a Crypto dude, was for nothing - and also for different things, like personal protection and or achieving Brexit (what an achievement) - clearly struggling to explain it. And we likewise struggle to understand it. Now we see that the Bank of England have their own Crypto currency in mind and Nigel Farage, the man that thousands of people literally paid to say anything they wanted him to, has leapt to his donors defence, urging the Bank to drop their plans. And now the £5 Million makes more sense. If we needed any more reasons to ban all donations to political parties - we just got a whopper. We can end this endless scandal fest for the price of a packet of crisps a year - check out Babelfish for details. https://t.co/eR7LuYLqQF

Social media trends have turned the world’s most beautiful places into endless bathroom lines at a concert, where everyone waits for hours just to take the same photo to show to people who couldn’t care less 🌎📸

Nothing captures the shallow decay of our time better than this

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Can only begin to imagine how many front pages and how many of the trash TV talk shows would go to town if any senior Labour politician did this. Two tier press.

Women are expected to treat pregnancy like a minor inconvenience by people who treat wearing a condom like a human rights violation.

[John Cusack @johncusack]

It was in this palace in June of 1919 that the President of Germany Gustav Bauer signed the treaty of surrender and agreed to pay restitution to the allies. Trump is clueless as to what he just did.

[lord farquad’s ex wife ✨ @cachavaa]

WTF. so peter thiel hosted “hereticon”, featuring talks like ‘how to steal an election’ ‘you’re probably a eugenicist’ ‘apocalypse’ ‘inventing people & the future of celebrity’ ‘ufo summoning’ ‘the goal is immortality’ + more, and featured an nda room??? what is this reality

[Lou D🌹 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇦 @louderry]

Murdochs cesspit the Times published a story Starmer had fallen out with Milliband and cancelled meetings with him, the story was repeated by hacks across the British media.

The truth

1 meeting was rescheduled because Millibrands mother had died.

Blatant isn't it.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

If the press and telly ignore this one as much as they have tried to ignore so many of his other scandals we will know for sure we live in a two tier media country

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.

Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.

But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

Cracking tale from @tomburgis
