Nigel Farage’s visit to Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium has prompted a significant social media backlash. Ipswich insist Reform UK and Farage were not formally invited by the club … but The Athletic has been told a slightly different story. 📝 @Dan_Sheldon_ Free to read here ⬇️ 🔗 nyti.ms/4rNrqch

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve_news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

Somebody at the publicly funded @BBC has made an editorial decision to ignore the issue of the Welsh leader of a party they constantly tell us will form the next govt taking bribes from Russia to spread propaganda. I think we have a right to know who that somebody is. #BBCNews

Live demos continue to rule. Paid more attention to this 8 minute agent building demo than any 8 minute segment of a recent Apple keynote/marketing video.

Firing workers in America is a swift process. Europe’s way is much more cumbersome. This is holding the continent back economist.com/europe/2025/10…

I really hope a team in the UK Home Office is working overtime this weekend, to design a visa & relocation package for phenomenally highly paid US tech workers who need to leave (and internationals who now can't move to the US). Incredibly low hanging fruit for UK prosperity.

The RFK appointment is grim. Not only for vaccines. It is bad for public health as a whole. Because Public Health is WAY more than vaccines. It’s systematically removing barriers to good health, preventing future disease, giving everyone a chance at a healthy life.

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one. Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

Still think Tugendhat is, at heart, a decent politician, but this is obviously pitiful. The Tories urgently need to honestly assess what they did in power and it would be nice if people like him led that effort rather than engage in denial and cynicism.

British elections are not won on maximising your popular vote. They are won by maximising the distributional efficiency of your vote. The ideal performance looks basically like what Labour did last night. It's almost mathematically perfect. iandunt.substack.com/p/elect…

First, we've no idea if that Reform number is right. Second, come on people what's the matter with you. After 14 years of the most egregious reactionary horror, we're about to get one of the most progressive parliaments in history.

You’d think that Day 1 training for Russian bot farms shilling for Reform would be to learn the word ‘pub’:
