This is Reform UK's candidate for Makerfield. His official Reform UK account for the 2024 General election was suspended before the by-election campaign. The archive of his political activity during the riots wasn't. Full investigation: bylinetimes.com/2026/05/20/rea… 12/12

So, @bbclaurak, not a single question for Robert Jenrick about Mr Farage's relationship with Mr Harborne, then? Or his suspicious disapperance from public scrutiny by the media? Or Jenrick's own dodgy finances? BBC scrutiny of the powerful without fear or favour? I think not.

Fantastic to see this @nerve_news investigation trending. The crypto millions fuelling Britain’s far-right turn (the exact same playbook as Trump) requires much, much more scrutiny.

It would be a shame if this video was shared far and wide. Do you really want these charlatans running the country?!

Trump said something to me in 2016 that I’ve never forgotten. He asked if I thought the British were going to Brexit. I said no because economically it made no sense. He said you’re looking at it as an economic decision. It’s not. It’s an emotional one. Three weeks later, June 2016, they Brexited. That was the moment I understood something real about the reality of politics in the US and the UK. Would I be surprised if Farage became Prime Minister? Not really. The Conservatives had their run. Labour is struggling. We’re in an anti-incumbency era across the entire West and Reform has never actually held power. So people shrug and say it can’t get any worse, let’s try something new. I hope it doesn’t happen. I think their policies are asinine. But I said Brexit couldn’t happen either.

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the £5m. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about his support for the Iran War. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about Nathan Gill. Nigel Farage wants you to forget his support for Trump, Orban, Le Pen and Milei. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about his antisemitism. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about DOGE failing. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the Clacton house. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the councillors dropping like flies. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the council leaders sacked for racism and ineptitude. Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the racist candidates, the misogynists, anti-Muslims, the hypocritical and criminal Reform UK candidates. Tell everyone, don’t let anyone forget.

The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over £300 in the calendar year leading up to their election. I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.

I was just looking for some chocolate WITHOUT palm oil in, in my local Tesco... I couldn't find any! Cadbury, Nestle etc etc all contained bloody palm oil! 😒 Anyone have an idea of chocolate brands that don't use palm oil? 🤔 🍫
