Lady in glasses, "I'd just like to say that if there should be any cold rage that is happening, it should be directed towards the politicians"
Fiona Bruce, "What, all of them?"
Lady in glasses, "No, the ones trying to sow the seeds of division between us"
"Because we're basically being manipulated by billionaires at this point"
"And it shouldn't be like that"
Like him or loathe him but, on this particular matter, Keir Starmer is 100% correct.
Farage’s response yesterday shows us ‘exactly who he is’… a rage-bating racist with no respect nor conscience.
His followers refuse to see it… which tells you all you need to know about them.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
Nigel Farage is a one trick pony. His divisive and inflammatory comments about immigration is all he has.
Is it any wonder he won’t want you to know that net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak under the conservatives and small boat crossings are down by approximately 40% so far in 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
LETS MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOW THE REAL FACTS
On the 8th of August 1963, The Great Train Robbery took place, they stole £2.63m.
That's far less even with inflation than the £145m Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman owe.
Imagine if a candidate of any other party was found to have deleted an account with so many disgustingly offensive posts. I suspect we will hear very little of this as the Double Standards Squad continue to ply their trade to the benefit of the 5 million pound man
Two Reform Councillors had died before they were elected.
Five have quit because they never actually wanted to be Councillors.
At least four have been fired because they are vile racists.
One is complaining because he thought he'd be an MP.
One was completely made up
Clown party
Just three UK data centres will account for more than 1% of the UK’s carbon budget by 2033. It’s like building several international airports. No wonder they’re lying about it. We’ve got to stop this madness.

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker.
Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”.
He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was given a suspended sentence.
It comes up when you Google him.
He won in the council election.
He’s now a Reform Councillor.
Richard Tice is the 2nd richest MP in the House of Commons, only Rishi Sunak has more money than him.
He runs a massive Landlord empire.
He keeps his assets in a New Jersey Tax Haven and has dodged at least £600,000 in Corporation Tax
Yet still claims to be a man of the people
Trump gleefully told the story of how Queen Camilla saw his Oval Office redecorating and said "wow."
For non-Anglophiles... "Wow" in British slang is similar to "bloody hell"
A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet.
Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire.
It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.
If @Keir_Starmer or @AngelaRayner had taken an undisclosed £5m from a billionaire in Thailand, it would be an outrage and It would dominate headlines for weeks and months
@Nigel_Farage does it and gets soft headlines, excuses and not a lot coverage
Says it all about the media
You open ChatGPT. You type the question. A clean, structured answer comes back in three seconds. You read it, it makes sense, you move on. You feel like you learned something.
Forty-five days later, a professor walks in and hands you a test you weren't expecting. You don't remember most of it.
André Barcaui at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ran the experiment to find out if the feeling was accurate. 120 undergraduate business students, ages 18 to 24. All told to spend two weeks researching AI concepts, ethics, societal impacts, technical foundations, and prepare a 10-minute presentation.
Sixty used ChatGPT freely. Sixty used textbooks, library databases, articles, and standard web search. Then, 45 days later, with no warning, a retention test.
The ChatGPT group scored 57.5%. The traditional group scored 68.5%. Cohen's d was 0.68, a medium-to-large effect. In most grading systems, that's the difference between passing and failing.
This is called cognitive offloading. When your brain delegates thinking to an external tool, it reduces the mental effort required during encoding. Effort is what makes memories durable. Struggling to find, synthesize, and connect information is not an inefficiency in the learning process. It is the learning process. ChatGPT removes the struggle and takes the encoding with it.
Barcaui calls what the AI group experienced "borrowed competence." The answer was structured, the vocabulary was right, the reasoning felt sound. It just wasn't theirs. And 45 days later, it was gone.
The AI group's forgetting curve was steeper and didn't stabilize the way the traditional group's did. The memories weren't just smaller. They were more fragile from the start.
You didn't learn it. You borrowed it.
How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.
This is disgraceful... it's a crime! 😡
Nesting birds in this reedbed last week... now burnt out, during breeding season! 🤬
Too many landowners think they are above the law!
Our birdlife is struggling enough as it is.. 😔
