Who'd like to watch the late and much missed Sean Lock roast the late and much missed Bruce Forsyth. Of course you would! Good day.

British patriot and nursery worker Thomas Waller sexually abused and raped children as young as three. Zero tweets and reposts by Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, Dave Atherton, and the usual suspects.

ANDOR star Stellan Skarsgård describes his worldview. "My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it.” "In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.” (Source: @vulture)

Actually Charlotte - there's no actual conspiracy. You're seeing lots of Green Party posts because literally thousands of people every single day are joining the Green Party and posting about it. Join.greenparty.org.uk
X algorithms are honestly amazing. They show patterns. They highlight when there’s coordinated support for people/ causes. They show propaganda networks. If you’re seeing loads of Zack Polanski content it’s because the Greens (aka Momentum) are amazing propagandists.

I think that @BBCNews, @SkyNews @ITVNewsPolitics and @Channel4News should all be reporting on Reform UK and Russian bribery. RT if you agree!! Why are the media ignoring such a blatant story?!

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month. No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less. Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses Lying, thieving b******

It's now been five days since I broke the news that Nigel Farage is not declaring his income to Parliament. The Observer ran a piece on Saturday saying the same thing. Have any other single news broadcasters run with this? Nope. Any news on the Russian spy at Reform? Nope.
I wrote this yesterday in response to Zia Yusuf's lie that Farage was having to pay a million pounds for private security. Why has Nigel Farage not entered a single pound in declared interests since May? Today, I've gone through Nigel Farage's officially declared Register of Interests on the @UKParliament website. In the last three months, we are being led to believe that Nigel Farage has ceased all outside earnings and donations. Of course, this is not true. He is absolutely raking it in from multiple sources but, it seems, has just given up on reporting this income. At the very least, we should be seeing his GB News salary and his social media income, but nope, nothing. We know he travelled to Washington to appear at the House Judiciary Committee. Did he pay for that himself? Highly unlikely. Something very strange is happening here. An elected MP with some serious questions over his finances, is, it appears, trying to hoodwink UK voters. The Register is updated fortnightly, and MPs must register new additions or changes within 28 days of that occurrence. At the very least, Farage has missed two months worth of declarations. Averaging out the previous 10 months and if we're being kind to say it's only two months missing, that works out at £177,690.78 undeclared income. Not a paltry sum to have 'mislaid'. As a rule, an MP should be made to correct the register and make an apology if they are found to be in breach. Boris Johnson was a prime culprit for this and even had to attend remedial training as a punishment. Look at my spreadsheet below, and you can see that there are big bunches of declarations in April but then, aside from one GB News payment, everything stops. One image is a wide view of all of his interests, and the second is a closer look at where the payments halt. What is going on here @ElectoralCommUK? Why is this being allowed to run unchecked? Is there an investigation that we're not party to? Or is Farage really actually above the law? It's bizarre and has the very distinct whiff of … well, you can decide what I was going to write there — I don't want to get sued! As I wrote yesterday — Farage is not declaring his income. Please feel free to tag anyone you think may be interested below.

He's known for being brutal with audience members, but this piece of Absolute Personal Philosophy Gold from Jimmy Carr is perfect. Very thoughtful, almost beautiful. Words to live by.
This is Craig Erwich, the President of ABC Entertainment. He has the power to put Jimmy Kimmel back on air. RETWEET to demand @ABC reinstate Jimmy Kimmel!

This. Nails it. (And before anybody says that George Floyd “was a criminal”, a reminder that Floyd’s conviction was overturned, one of 100s of convictions overturned after a white racist police officer was found guilty and jailed for serial evidence tampering.)

Reform promise to deport 600,000 people. But there are only 111,000 asylum seekers in the UK system. So who’s next when the camps are full? Your neighbour? Your workmate? Your family? This is how it starts. Fear. Camps. Division. History warns us where it ends.

If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like. If you hate him, give it a RT.

Misinformation on #Immigration to UK by right wing politicians and media is the cause of the public ignorance and stupidity. And .. that's the intention. Feed them bullshit, get them angry, profit off the back of it.
This is short-sighted and environmentally damaging. Honey bee numbers are doing well, so there's no need for this. Introducing this amount of honey bees in one area will push out the wild bees - many species who are better pollinators than honey bees. dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/news/ne…

One of the worst cases I've seen yet of beekeeping masquerading as bee conservation: dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/news/ne…. This claim is dishonest and misleading and will not result in a paradise for the many species of wild bee/pollinator living in the area. In fact it's the opposite.
Nigel Farage ranked 748th of 751 MEPs for attendance, went to 1 of 42 fishery committee meetings & was fined £35K for fiddling his expenses As an MP he has held no surgeries, skipped 80% of votes and had ten jobs on the side Don't vote Reform unless you like work-shy grifters

They said they’d build with nature in mind. They said they’d find true win wins for housing & nature. But they’re not even including swift bricks - a brick won’t block development (obvs) & is a lifeline for the only wildlife reliant on buildings to breed. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
