James Foster: Why does @Nigel_Farage need help fighting Count Binface in Clacton...

Why does @Nigel_Farage need help fighting Count Binface in Clacton? @ReformParty_UK supporters keep telling us he’s hugely popular and heading for a landslide. With Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems not standing, it should be a walk in the park. So why are Reform pulling activists away from the Greater Manchester mayoral election to campaign for him? 🤣😬🤦

Lee Hurst: If Nigel Farage wins the by election he has forced...

If Nigel Farage wins the by election he has forced, nothing changes with the current situation. The investigations then continues. If found guilty of wrongdoing then a 10 day suspension from the HoC could follow. This is enough to trigger a recall petition. If 10% of the electorate in Clacton we have another by election at which Farage could stand. So again I ask the question, what was the actual point of all this? The people who like him will continue to support him and the people who don’t will continue not to. No one’s mind will be changed by this current by election. He also faces the prospect of losing as anything could happen. By Reform offering to pay for the by election it stops the money being used to campaign elsewhere. What is the upside for Reform? I see none whatsoever.

Ben Judah: Between Emanuel’s speech yesterday and Burnham’s intervention today...

Between Emanuel’s speech yesterday and Burnham’s intervention today it is clear Western progressives are moving towards a position of sanctions on Israeli settlements and settler organisations. That’s a clear policy for where you want to be in 1-2 years of putting costs on the occupation. There’s also a clear policy of where you want to be eventually with a two or a “twenty-three” state solution. What’s lacking is any thinking on credible, viable, interim steps a post-Netanyahu Israeli government or a post-Abbas Palestinian Authority could conceivably carry in a 3-5 year horizon that could radically improve people’s lives. There is a real intellectual vacuum here, it’s quite striking with Democrats really, which Europeans should be thinking ahead about and to try and fill with serious proposals developed with Egypt and the Gulf. This is where we need peace thinking.

Dale Vince: Faithful representation of the interview…

Faithful representation of the interview…..more importantly, this is a really important by election, called by Farage for no good reason - Count Binface is the face now of the anti Farage movement. It’s Bin Day in Clacton. We can be rid of the hyper toxic Farage, with his legion of dodgy funders and his Trump mini me antics. Britain doesn't need this man in politics. Bag him and bin him…:) https://telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/07/09/dale-vince-offers-fund-count-binface-fight-against-farage

Deborah Haynes: NATO Chief Mark Rutte is wrapping up an annual leaders’ summit...

🚨NATO Chief Mark Rutte is wrapping up an annual leaders’ summit with his trademark optimism despite Donald Trump lashing out at number of allies, including the UK. The Secretary General declared: “We have just concluded a tremendously successful summit in Ankara. There was a great sense of unity. Allies warmly welcomed President Trump’s leadership that is transforming this alliance and making it stronger. The message is simple: NATO delivers.”

Lewis Brackpool: A government that allows its country’s indigenous people...

A government that allows its country’s indigenous people to be replaced is extreme. A government that puts its own women and children at risk of sexual violence and death is extreme. A government that houses, feeds and protects foreign invaders over its own citizens is extreme. A government that penalises and prosecutes its own people for talking about it is extreme. The real extremists are in government, not us.
