Starmer faces a political crisis over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador despite knowing his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, undermining public trust and leaving him vulnerable within his Labour Party. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/06/world/starmer-facing-final-curtain/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #keirstarmer #petermandelson #jeffreyepstein #labourparty #edmiliband #wesstreeting #tories

And now Suella Braverman has defected to RefromUK Ltd, which is now becoming home to Tory MPs who have decided the Tory party os not right enough for them...
Of course, this will make Farage's claim that Reform is offering something new a little more difficult to make.
He will also find there is plenty in the past actions of some of the defectors that will offer useful material for Reform's critics.

England’s contested 1,100-year anniversary passed with little public interest, reflecting a broadly unbothered national identity, even as a small but vocal far-right English nationalism gains visibility. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/19/world/being-properly-english/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #england #tommyrobinson #donaldtrump #nigelfarage #mikenesbitt #georgeorwell #johnmajor #rishisunak #labour #tories #reformuk #conservativeparty #ulsterunionistparty #maga #englishdefenceleague
Farage said Never trust a Tory!* (*unless they are joining me)
So exactly what is the difference between the #Tories who broke everything and #Reform who is now accepting those #Tories, in party that he claims to the anti-establishment but looks very establishment now because Farage has always been desperate to be accepted.

Funny how many donors to Farage and people close to him get money from Russia, then pass it on to him. I mean it’s almost like he’s a traitor and a Russian asset, but that can’t be true of the great patriot, can it?…..

No one is suggesting you can print these out on a home preinter really easily- or a few people together can get them printed cheaply if they split the costs

The Guardian has been reminding us all week of people’s recollections of Nigel #Farage as a school boy and 6th former.
He was a racist, antisemitic bully.
And he’s never repented.
Never apologised.
Refuses to this day to admit to the pain and distress he caused.
So yes, he still is a racist antisemitic bully.
And this isn’t slander, when people are on the record as witnesses.
If you think that the fascism you’re witnessing in the US with #Trump could never happen in the UK, think again.
We have an insipid #Labour government too timid to have any agenda other than #Reform lite. #Tories are spent.
#Farage’s Reform is still a cult of personality…but one that people buy into and unfortunately makes the political weather.
If Farage wins in 2029, democracy is in peril.
The battle of our lives is on right now.

I need to know if voters over the age of 65 get Zack #Polanski…because both my dad and father in law have decided they don’t trust him, but can’t say exactly why. My mum and mother in law meanwhile say nothing.
I think they literally hear his framing of being a populist…and run a mile.
I’ve tried saying that I’m sick of the Overton Window being skewed to the Far Right and anyone who can shift it back a bit deserves our support…but no, they think he’s ‘vaguely dangerous’
It’s now understood that the #GreenParty have more members than the #Tories.
This is a big deal.
But to capitalise on their new found popularity in a FPTP system, #Polanski needs votes to pile up geographically.

‘The #Greens in England and Wales have more than 100,000 members for the first time, the party has announced, a near-50% rise since Zack #Polanski took over as leader last month.
It puts them on a potential course to overtake the #Tories and comes little more than a week after the Greens announced they had moved past the #LibDems in membership number’
