@GBPolitcs @Survation @reformparty_uk supporters anger at any poll that doesn’t put them ahead is strange. They're polls. They provide an indication of what a % of an electorate might do at that moment in time. Nothing to get upset about. You'll get your Temu Trump, so no need for you to start crying.

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 think they blackballed me because of this.

Be careful what you wish for Australia.

Pauline Hanson has spoken openly to The Australian saying how IR laws need to be changed.

Not for the benefit of workers obviously.

Only to benefit her billionaire donors.

Won’t read or hear any of this on 2GB, 3AW, Seven or Nine breakfast shows.

Hanson has always been anti worker and pro big business.

She’s coming for your pay and conditions.

Work Choices on steroids.

You fundamentally just wouldn't be allowed to say this on British TV.

Well done to Richie Sadlier.

I don't understand this whole growing thing in Oz politics, about being "patriots" & embracing "freedom".
Far from being patriotic, it feels like warmed over MAGA nonsense that wont pull in anyone who isn't already there?
The quote is from Tony Abbott who's just become Lib Prez.

@MarcoCampo74 @jonnyrmitch Seen both live, Oasis in 2002 and Libertines last year. Both were brilliant. Wasn't especially aware of Libertines, but was a great show.

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

@carolvorders @CrewkerneGaz "Crewkerne Gazette" is Nazi Fantasist Troll Joshua Bonehill. I was one of many who assisted in identifying him a few years ago for several offences which put him in jail. Happy to help in any way with more information on arrestable offenses so far been ignored by police.

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years

First-degree felony. Life without parole.

Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.

No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.
Texas protects predators with power!

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."

Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.

This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story: https://t.co/cU1WnZKAfr

PHON is now claiming Australia has the highest electricity prices in the world. That’s simply false.

Countries paying more than Australia per kWh include Bermuda, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Czechia, the Bahamas, Austria, Cyprus, Cape Verde, Barbados, Guatemala, the Netherlands and France.

Australia sits around 18th globally at roughly $0.26 USD/kWh high, but nowhere near number one.

Meanwhile countries like China, Russia, Venezuela and Turkey sit closer to $0.07 USD/kWh, largely due to heavy state intervention, subsidies or domestic fossil fuel pricing.

If you’re going to debate energy policy, at least start with accurate numbers.

A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.'

The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Some notes on my work ethic:

-I last voted in Parliament on 18 March, so I haven’t done my job for ten weeks.
-I’ve never held any face-to-face constituency surgeries, despite apparently having £5 million to spend on security.
-I refuse to do interviews or face press scrutiny of any sort.
-when I was in the European Parliament I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 748 MEPs.
-although I did manage to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
-I was on the Fisheries Committee but I only turned up to ONE out of 42 meetings.
-but I will of course be taking my £73,000 EU pension.

Vote Reform, get lazy, grifting, self-serving sacks of shit.

There is something unLiverpool about Liverpool at the moment.

If Klopp was manager he'd have been on the microphone with Robertson and Salah also saying their bit.

Instead we got Slot slumped in a chair and LFC afraid to give Salah a microphone in case he said something.

And where were John Henry and rest of FSG to show their gratitude to Robertson and Salah who helped make them 100s of millions by adding massive value to the club.

Also where was the football guru Michael Edwards, he is getting paid massive amounts of money by LFC and has been missing all season.

This is not how Liverpool are meant to be run.

UnLiverpool like 👍

Inflation “unexpectedly” fell by 0.5% to 2.8%

Growth was an “unexpected” 0.7% - the highest in the G7

Net immigration “unexpectedly” fell by 82%

NHS “unexpectedly” met it’s interim 18 week target

Our media have so deceived the public that all positive news is now “unexpected”

This is an official government account in a democracy.

This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

If this is all true, then Robert Kenyon, the Reform candidate in Makerfield, in clearly bonkers & deeply unpleasant, and it's no wonder he was Facebook friends with the self-declared fascist Gary Raikes. Reform's vetting processes seem about as effective as a chocolate teapot.
