I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“NO WAR CRIMES IN GAZA, SAYS NIGEL FARAGE’S ISRAEL TSAR”

“Israel has not committed a single war crime in Gaza, the head of the newly-formed Reform Friends of Israel has claimed.
Speaking to Declassified, Jason Pearlman also described the torture and abuse of Palestinian detainees held in Israeli prisons as ‘the minutiae of individual claims’.
Until December, Pearlman was a media adviser to Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, who a UN commission found to have incited genocide.”

Scottish Labour leader calls claim he tried to do Reform deal a ‘desperate lie’.
So it's true then!

#ReformUKLtd won't touch #LizTruss with a barge pole.
#NigelFarage has already gone out of his way to avoid being photographed with her at events that they have both attended.
And this despite Truss having money to pay. She has a well-financed social media operation and is touring the U.S.A. claiming that she will spearhead an English version of MAGA.
Reform U.K. Ltd has nonetheless clearly drawn the line at letting her in.

"Seat projections by Professor John Curtice suggest the SNP would get 57 seats, Labour would emerge with 20 and Reform UK would get just 16."
That's still 16 too many in Holyrood.

Nigel Farage.
"British Trump"?
Or Donald Tantrump's Mini-Me?
What does Farrago care about the Chagos Islanders anyway? If he becomes PM, he'd happily accelerate #GlobalWarming, meaning their #ChagosIslands would be inundated by rising sea levels even faster...

Morning, all,
Matthew D'Ancona writes that an electoral pact between the Conservatives and Reform might put Nigel Farage in No.10.
He nicknames this pact "Conform" but also toys with "Reservative."
I prefer "Reformatory," which OLD* says is "a type of school that young criminals are sent to instead of prison."
It might allow the Young Pretender greater leeway with his racist remarks than did Dulwich School.
