Breaking: Reform has suspended new Sheffield councillor Nathaniel Menday, after further social media posts were uncovered by my colleague @finnsmithjourno for the @SheffieldStar which included a huge photo of a Nazi flag with a swastika on it and a photo of Hitler's Mein Kamf

Convicted Cambridgeshire Reform politician no longer councillor

Andy Osborn posted a defamatory social media message about a Conservative candidate, a court finds.

www.bbc.co.uk

The comment I saw, was,

"◊◊◊◊, Reform digging up dead paedophiles as councillors is a bigger story than Farage's £5M"

Opposition parties had called for Reform to axe him as a candidate ahead of the election after it emerged he praised the Nazis as “visionaries” for their design of the Olympiastadion. He admitted he had "flirted with far-right ideology", but at the count said he was "not a Nazi".
When the @yorkshirepost put these comments to Reform UK ahead of the election, deputy leader Richard Tice told me that Coun Menday would be assessed if he is elected and “decisions will be made”.

Turning back to the leader of the opposition, the PM says he and Kemi Badenoch have something in common: "Our parties both had tough results at the local elections last week, the difference is she hasn't noticed," he says.

FTFY, The Dulwich Horror only drinks beer when there's photographers around to record his Man of the People act.

Still probably a pint if someone else is paying

Reminds me of a cocktail I invented called 'The Nadine' in honour(?) of Nadine Dorries, it's a pint of Gordon's Export Gin in a dimpled mug with handle, garnished with a cherry and an umbrella. I recommend at least two before any event in which you'll have to listen to her speak.

(For legal reasons I want to make it clear that this is a joke and I do not really recommend drinking two pints of gin and then listening to Nadine Dorries speak this would be very dangerous and could lead to brain damage or even death, in fact I wouldn't recommend listening to Nadine Dorries speak under any circustances)

I think you need to replace the gin with Absinthe. The traditional version with additional wormwood for that particular task.

The persecution of Nigel Farage re a £5 million personal donation is outrageous. Had the British state provided adequate PROTECTION he'd not need to personally fund highly complex security. It speaks volumes - even after 2 MPs assassinated - Farage had to go it alone.

So you want to award all 600 MPs £5m, to spend on security if that's what they want to do with it.

I can tell you from experimental results that after half a bottle of full strength absinthe the live action Scooby Doo movie with Sarah Michelle Geller is the funniest film ever made. After the other half (not the same night btw) From Hell with Johnny Depp is almost as funny. Possibly the idea that peak hotness Heather Graham was representative of C19th London prostitutes. Or maybe it was Depp's accent. Further testing with Keanu Reeves in 'Dracula' may be required. If anyone would like to support this scientific endeavour by sending me absynth I'll supply my own movies.

What is it about a far right party that supports policies that wouldn't be out of place in 1930s Germany keeps attracting Nazis?

Kemi Badenoch showed why she is the real Prime Minister-in-waiting with a confident and inspiring speech in the Commons today. Together with the Alternative King’s speech published by the Conservatives, it shows how dramatically she has started to change the party

Just seen a tweet that should go in General Skepticism and the Paranormal.

"What's the difference between a bright Reform councillor and a UFO?"

"There have been reported sightings of UFOs"

Andrew Bridgen backs Musk’s claim that Nigel Farage is controlled opposition!

After knowing him for 14yrs he says Farage takes orders from above.

Citing his toxic Zahawi appointment as proof he had no choice.

He highlights shady 2019 Brexit deals, a looming Le Pen style funds probe and Farage’s failure to attack Starmer for moving back to the EU.

The dots are connecting in a way that’s hard to ignore now.

I shared this on a chat, and got this helpful advice.

"Use the umbrella to pierce your eardrums and stuff half the cherry in each ear to make sure"

Never drink absinthe before listening to Mad Nads. Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
