The media are desperate to pretend that Farage isn’t the establishment, so i’ve written an article explaining why he is.

Can we get it shared 1000 times??

Thanks 🙏

Reminder I'm over at other place where the sky is always blue and it's just like Twitter used to be before Musk fucked it - no bots, no trolls, no fuckwits and no fascists.

Heavenly.

For years, asylum seekers cost the UK around £450 million to £600 million a year.

And then the Tories deliberately stopped processing most asylum applications.

What happened next?

The backlog of people waiting for a ruling increased. A lot. And costs soared to the Moon.

Do you think that a private commercial property company should be running an ambulance service for the NHS?

If your answer is no, RT 🚨💙

We’re lifting the lid on the private ambulance companies infiltrating the NHS. #NHSPrivateAmbulances🚑🚨

Priti Patel being compared to Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter is just so spot on. Rowling’s description of character; ‘An evil, cruel, strict, despicable woman who represented the worst of political power, under a saccharine image ... sadistic and overwhelmingly corrupt’. 😬

Could a trip to the supermarket soon look like this?

Short thread on events of 7 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings (h/t @fcbaribrit for reminding me of this episode)>

“Boris Johnson breaks the rules on Ministerial Code relentlessly. There is a video by Peter Stefanovic which with virtually no media coverage has had 40 MILLION VIEWS & shows 7 lies Johnson has told at dispatch box”

Thank you @campbellclaret for being first to raise it on #bbcqt

On Today prog this morning: Gordon Brown earns over £1m a year from speeches and writing but gives it all to charity. Some politicians really do have great integrity.

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

So Johnson - who media now bigging up like some kind of climate change messiah - says he doesn’t want Cumbria coal mine. But it’s not up to him apparently. It’s up to the planners.
Also Johnson “not the time for excuses. We need to act now”
Could he just be full of shit?

We're more upset with France than we were with Russia when they carried out a chemical weapons attack on a British city.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Its simply incomprehensible that instead of naming & shaming our slippery, lying, law breaking Government UK news channels are today reporting on the “naming & shaming” of our exhausted GP’s who have worked so hard & sacrificed so much to keep us safe throughout the pandemic
