@barry_halverson Next time you see Farage doing his man of the people stance with his pint and fag in hand, remember that he is just another multi-millionaire who hates you.

Imagine the outcry if Starmer personally accepted a 5 million donation, not for the party, but for him personally, just before he was elected Labour leader. Chris Mason would have a team on it 24x7 Farage received £5m from donor before he became MP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MittensOff Shame that Ed Davey joined in the pile-on. His is usually a balanced voice worth hearing.

How embarrassing. The White House looks like it was decorated from a flea market.

Why doesn’t @KemiBadenoch need to apologise and correct the record for misleading Parliament on calling @Keir_Starmer”lying” and calling him “dishonest” today again when it’s been proven he is not. Don’t the rules apply to her ? @SkyNews @BBCNews

Very Brexit Problems
Very Brexit Problems@VeryBrexitProbs·
The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker. Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year. Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead. Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency. Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle. Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free. Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to. Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds. Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires. Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle. Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all. Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons. Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting. Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again. Pint, mate?

“We’re feeling cr*p as a country. It felt like someone just lifted us all up a bit”. “I don’t think people are feeling jollier having seen speeches about checks and balances” Are you feeling 'jollier' having watched the King’s Congress speech? @maitlis @jonsopel @lewis_goodall

Odd for Badenoch to be hammering welfare. Everyone knows the system needs reform, but the mess it is currently in is due to the previous Conservative government. Much easier targets she could have gone for. #PMQs

Well, well, well. Farage U-turns on the two-child benefit cap. Forced into it by some sort of unseen force. Utterly pathetic! What are the crypto billionaire, tax avoiding donors going to say about that? The tax they don't pay helping the poor. @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk

@narindertweets Farage is owned by a BiIIonaire. But Starmer bought a field for his disabled mother to keep her donkeys in. Oh yes.

Somebody remind me, how long did the media go on about some suits, pairs of glasses and concert tickets? Bought & owned by a man who doesnt live in Uk - Christopher Harbone previously funded Farage’s attendance at Donald Trump’s second inauguration, donated more than £13 million to the Brexit. He is also a key investor in the crypto. ....£5million is enough to secure you for life!!!! Will @Nigel_Farage resign? This is outrageous

Full-length Darren Jones speech on Badenoch’s stunt. In my humble opinion, Darren’s contribution to Labour has been significant.

Disgusted with #c4news Saw some passionate & sincere MPs making the case for rejecting the Tory motion to refer the PM to the Privilege Committee. They weren't as a result of the whip. But @mattfrei presents it as "MPs holding their nose" & the vote only "just" went in his favour

Ed Davey knows there is nothing there,how foolish of you.You should,could have been the opposition but you have messed that up by attacking the gov all the time as you are doing now.It's a terrible look.Shame on you.
BBC Breakfast@BBCBreakfast

‘I think there’s certainly a whole set of issues where he hasn’t given straight answers' Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey spoke to #BBCBreakfast ahead of a vote by MPs on if there should be an inquiry into whether Keir Starmer misled Parliament over the vetting process for Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce35…

Lots of humour in The King’s speech. All delivered with a twinkle in the eye. Content aside, simply as a public speaker, I’m not sure any British politician can match him

@likesretirement Since the Guardian joined the pile-on of Sir Keir Starmer I have considered ending my subscription. The 'New World' journal is a great read, and proves there is still balanced journalism to be found amongst all the RW rubbish.

Jane, Retired, Happy, Rejoiner 🌹
So after some wrestling, because there are a couple of journalists who I do greatly admire writing for it still, including John Crace, I have cancelled it because I can't justify £18 a month to get angry. And I can still read articles, just with adverts #TheGuardian loss
Jane, Retired, Happy, Rejoiner 🌹@likesretirement

Hi @guardian Please can you tell me why I shouldn’t cancel my subscription? Your journalists appear to have joined the gutter press and lost all sense of impartial, genuine reporting. I’m waiting for you to convince me to stay

@PippaCrerar Now sink your teeth into Reform and in particular Farage's house purchase of £880k and his Epstein/Bannon/Brexit links, Tice's £120k tax dodging and Jenrick's £40k donation. You certainly won't need to make stuff up where these are concerned...
