NEW: Why did Nigel Farage throw the 2019 ‘Brexit’ election for Boris Johnson? What does it have to do with Harborne’s £5m gift? And why is it tearing apart Britain’s far-right parties?

Exceptional performance from Kiera and how telling the heckles and jeers were.

We see you Reform; we see you for what you really are.

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

I understand that Reform's chief whip Llyr Powell has contacted Reform MSs to personally "take ownership" of the vote on Wednesday where 11 Reform Senedd Members voted against their own party.

He also told the Reform group members to not speak to the press about what happened.

Please read this story if you haven't already. I don't know what's creepier - the story itself, or the fact it took a court application for @BylineTimes to be able to report it.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🚩 Reform claims to be for working people, but their London Mayor candidate proves they don’t. Leila says growth comes from entrepreneurs and risk-takers.

Mick Lynch rightly says every successful economy is built on public investment, infrastructure, housing, transport, education and industrial strategy.

The post-war boom wasn’t created by slogans. It was built.

Leila’s response reveals Reform’s blind spot: they talk endlessly about wealthy entrepreneurs, but far less about the public investment, skilled workforce, infrastructure, wealth redistribution and institutions that make businesses possible in the first place.

No successful economy was ever built on “leave it to the market” alone.

Watch the full exchange. 👇

If pedophile protector Todd Blanche is confirmed as Attorney General, the amount of outrage is going to be like nothing we have seen before. There are 3 million pages of the Epstein files Blanche is illegally refusing to release due to one reason: Trump raped children for fun.

He arrived and was granted LTR by the Tories

Remember at least 30 of those Tories now are within Reform

Robert Jenrick was the Immigration Minister
25 October 2022 – 6 December 2023
That covers the arrival and granting of LTR

HISTORY LESSON

The Nazi Party branded itself the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' to appeal to working-class men. After staging massive 'pro-worker' May Day rallies on May 1, 1933, the very next day Hitler banned independent trade unions, seized their assets, and arrested their leaders.

On May 2, 1933, the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and police occupied trade union offices nationwide in a coordinated action. They seized assets, records, and funds while arresting union leaders and officials. Contemporary U.S. State Department reports and other sources noted around 50 prominent arrests in the initial wave, including key figures like Theodor Leipart (chairman of the General German Trade Union Federation, ADGB), Peter Grassmann, and former Labor Minister Rudolf Wissell.

Many more local and regional leaders faced arrests in the following days and weeks. Large numbers endured beatings, imprisonment, or transfer to early concentration camps such as Dachau (opened in March 1933 primarily for political opponents).

Some officials were maltreated immediately, and the action extended to union banks and press offices.

This crackdown dismantled independent German trade unions (with millions of members, many aligned with Social Democrats or leftists) and replaced them with the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front (DAF). It formed part of the broader Gleichschaltung (coordination) process to eliminate independent organizations.

Over the period 1933–1945, thousands of German trade unionists, including leaders, activists, and officials, were arrested and held in prisons or concentration camps. Many suffered torture, extended detention, or surveillance after release. While outright executions of union leaders were relatively fewer in the early phase compared to other groups, many died later from camp maltreatment, disease, execution, or involvement in resistance.

The overall scale of persecution against labour organisers aligns with the regime's aim to crush independent working-class organising rather than immediately exterminate every individual.

This fits the documented pattern of political repression: by the end of July 1933, nearly 27,000 people (mostly political prisoners including communists, socialists, Social Democrats, trade unionists and left-wing activists and intellectuals) were held in early camps and detention sites.

The Nazis moved swiftly after seizing power to neutralise potential opposition from organised labor through mass arrests, violence, and forced integration into a state-controlled structure.

So GB News was set up as a propaganda outlet in the first place, Boris Johnson filled the BBC with personal buddies and Tory placemen, and it now emerges that former 'regulator' Lord Grade is openly biased in favour of rightwing politicians. See how it works yet?

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

What do they want? Farage has proposed tax breaks for crypto, could that be part of the ‘deal’?

We don't know, but suspicions like these abound in to our current system - of allowing private money to fund politicians. Just Ban All Donations. Period.

#BREAKING: Velshi: “What if I told you this? The Trump administraction had ALREADY spent 50 TIMES that much in taxpayer money to build his ballroom? What if I told you Trump had already taken $50 billion out of the U.S. treasury and spent it, all as part of what looks very much like a pay to play scheme to finance his vanity project? And I’m not making this up, a brand new report from the government watchdog group Public Citizen looked into the private donors who are supposedly funding the Trump ballroom as a gift. Guess what their investigation found? ‘More than half of the publicly identified donors…have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more $50 billion during the past six months.’ The report also found that most of the same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing and that some have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term.”🙄

The evidence is plain: Trump and his allies openly champion Farage because they see him as a useful political asset. They don't want a confident, independent Britain capable of standing on its own—they want a Britain fractured by culture wars, weakened institutions, and economic

Mick Lynch repeatedly humiliates Reform UK's Laila Cunningham

She then accuses Mick Lynch and Labour of spreading lies to "win the argument" denying that Nigel Farage wants an insurance-based NHS

Here are two clips of Nigel Farage saying,

1. He doesn't want the NHS funded through general taxation

2. He wants an insurance-based system for the NHS
