I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

I'll make my point a little more seriously. £37bn of tax money of many people reading this went during Covid to allegedly corrupt people and organisations. Not one head has rolled, not one person arrested, not one person doorstepped to answer questions. Just one puff ball interview with one woman and her husband. That £37bn has cost British lives, savings, businesses and hope. Still, 4 years later, zero accountability for a monster political story. Instead, in all seriousness, a senior UK tv journalist has tweeted a story that's so irrelevant that anyone reading it can only draw one conclusion. That "look over there at a shiny bulshit story that'll titilate " replaces serious political journalism surrounding corruption of the state. You've just tweeted a one liner in Private Eye when you should be looking for the front page of UK state corruption.
Sky News can reveal Home Secretary Yvette Cooper went for free to a Taylor Swift concert as guest of Swift’s music label Universal Music. Ms Cooper went as a guest of her huband, Ed Balls who was given four tickets. Later that month the home secretary had discussions about boosting protection for Ms Swift when she was in London after concerts were cancelled in Vienna because of a foiled attack Mr Balls received the tickets on August 4, before the Swift's shows in Vienna were cancelled This has not appeared in the public register to date because the tickets were understood to be worth £170 - less than the £300 that would make it a declarable expense. Earlier today the home secretary made the declaration to the cabinet office.

Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸

🧵I’ve read through the evidence section—the first 85 pages—of Jack Smith filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing that he’d lost the election. The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony. 13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.

Has @Nigel_Farage fallen below the standards required in public life, that an MP is expected to uphold. If so, he could be excluded from the House of Commons, and consequently face a recall petition & by-election. Retweet if you think he has.

Prof Jonathan Portes calls out Julia Hartley-Brewer, Douglas Murray & Matt Goodwin. "They may not explicitly call for violence, but they certainly justify it... they try to excuse it."

Very important read. Lists the main X accounts spreading disinformation and shows how they spread it and how the news travels ⬇️
🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.

This is an important thread on #Tory leadership candidate Priti Patel from 2022 . She was made a Dame by Boris Johnson in 2023 for her services to bullying , breaking the ministerial code & secret trips to Israel 👊🏽
🚨New: For months, @hackneylad and I have been looking at what's going on @ukhomeoffice and how it became the department we see today. My task was to speak to current staff and to get as close to Priti Patel as possible. Here's what I found out. (Thread) tortoisemedia.com/audio/host…

Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting" ➡️ Sitting - Chamber is too small - In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices - Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths ➡️ Speaking - If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak - Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker - This is not good for a democracy - Find a better way of allocating speaking time - The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible ➡️ Voting - It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting - While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter - If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive - If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat) "My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"
