'Today' programme just sat there for 10-15 minutes while @ZiaYusufUK said that the thousands of excess deaths waiting for NHS treatment is due to asylum seekers. No correction that 14 years of starving NHS of beds, doctors, nurses , might be a factor

Rafael Behr’s analysis of Reforms latest policy announcement is spot on.

EXCL: A close adviser to Nigel Farage had an influential role at a national polling company despite not being publicly associated with the firm @Direthoughts & @rowenamason reveal.
Chris Bruni-Lowe, Farage’s private pollster for many years, played an important role in the operations of Redfield & Wilton Strategies and used it to develop potential campaign strategies.

Ukraine has hit a Russian data centre linked to bot farms.
In other news, every Reform account is getting a lot fewer likes and shares than usual.

‘Effective immediate’ Trump wrote on ‘Truth Social’ at the weekend. ‘There is an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Both sides have agreed.’
Not a single word of that post is true.
There is no energy ceasefire. It is not effective immediate.
Ukraine has agreed in principle. But Trump’s pal Putin has not.
Pal Putin refused when Trump last said there was an energy ceasefire (Sept 14 — bollocks then, bollocks now).
Russia is still trying to cripple Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in advance of winter.
There have been 196 Russian attacks on Ukrainian electricity in the past week. They continue. Over 20 attacks on Ukrainian oil and gas. They continue.
And 153 Ukrainians, mainly civilians, killed in these and other attacks on residential areas.
Yet Trump calls for Zelensky to be deposed, blames him for war continuing, high energy prices (NOT his failing war on Iran!).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hmmm… who to believe… Andy Burnham or the compulsive liar who got sacked twice for lying, lied to Parliament, lied to The Queen, cheated on two wives and ignored the Ministerial Code. Tricky one.

Aside from being impossible to legislate, tariffs would achieve precisely one thing:
1) increase costs on the UK.
Trump-style tariffs don't work. They hugely increased export costs to American businesses and drove up costs to the public significantly.
Basing his entire policy platform around extreme immigration reduction would make our already fragile economy, much, much worse.
He's not even trying any more.

Fox News now in a 24/7 promotion of Putin.
Saying Ukraine has killed a million Russiam kids.
America gone.

Make this filthy racist coward famous.
His name is Mark, and he violently abused a Muslim woman and her child while they were on their own in the car.

The MTFP runs to 2031, but October’s papers forecast a £54.5m gap across 2027/28–2030/31 before further savings or reserves.
This year’s budget heavily relies on £9.68m from the smoothing reserve. And I’m sure you’ll burn through those reserves in future years.

There it is. This is the plan. They are going to make Ukraine the enemy and blame them for oil and gas prices. They think we are stupid.
🚨BREAKING: Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy called Zelenskyy an “ingrate” for striking Russian oil refineries, claiming he’s making life harder for Trump ahead of the midterms, as White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia nodded along.
Think about that. Ukraine is attacking the infrastructure helping finance Russia’s invasion, and the concern being expressed is how it affects Trump’s political fortunes.
Since when did an American president’s election calendar become the standard by which a country fighting for its survival should make military decisions?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. The newly appointed WH Press Secretary thinks the abortion pill contains the same chemicals used in Nazi extermination camps.
Katie Zacharia is gonna make Karoline Leavitt look like a Rhodes Scholar with a PhD in Advanced Truthology.🤡

Trump and Putin agree Russia will intervene again in US elections.
Trump busting oil sanctions, selling out Ukraine and boosting Putin, this time because his Iran war backfired, confirms this US President is a friend of tyrannies and enemy of democracies.

6% of the UK population are Muslim, and 4% of UK MPs are Muslim.
Stop all this bullshit that they are somehow taking over and controlling the country.
It's all just far right propaganda.
I'd rather see a decent Muslim with honest values who serves their community as an MP, than the utter scumbag, criminal, wife beating grifters who represent the far right.

🔴NEW: Ben Delo has given Farage's Reform £44MILLION
Delo’s money comes from his now-closed crypto exchange BitMEX
In 2019, a BitMEX investor asked for status of his investment
Delo responded by sending this meme, according to court docs
There’s more, a lot more (🧵)
