“Reform has to take ever more extreme positions to keep winning headlines. As horrific as Jenrick’s comments are, they should be understood less as a policy proposal than as the political equivalent of a toddler acting out for attention.” Cruelty is weakness. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/482...

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

Rachel Johnson who was interviewing her didn't push back at all and even seemed to be agreeing with her. Here's a fuller account from the police. Absolutely scandalous that an MP is not condemning this act of terrorism

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

So, £72million from crypto billionaires to get Reform “ready for government”. Absolutely no chance. They have over 300 candidates to find and this is their track record… They attract total liabilities and Reform is too racist, corrupt and idiotic to recruit anything better.

Just 4 months after the local elections, Reform UK (RefUK) have lost 158 of their local councillors: -55 resigned -42 went Independent -28 defected -24 were kicked out -5 lost their seats -2 disqualified -2 suspended. Appalling record - and a waste of taxpayers’ money!

Absurd that the regulations on the use of these poisons have been relaxed in recent years and with predictable results - but an opportunity for the nationalists in Wales to do the right thing. @plaidcymru.bsky.social

I'm so grateful to everyone in Clacton for re-electing me. As a thankyou, we are going to abolish Personal Independence Payments, which will be fantastic for the 10,000 disabled people who live in my constituency.

All they have is this kind of shit. What’s their approach to the economy, our debt, education, the NHS, public transport? Who the hell knows! All they have is pathetic scraps aimed at looking pure bred and hostile to anything not English. They’re absolutely pathetic and totally unfit for office

Listen to Anderson. Then reflect that the taxpayer footed the bill.

Lee Anderson in Dec last year promising that the flags put up by Reform run Nottinghamshire Council wouldn't cost a penny because they would be sponsored. Seven months and £75,000 of taxpayers' money later, there are still zero sponsors. Vote Reform, waste money.

The Far Right riot in Belfast last night was nothing less than “a race-based pogrom”, Belfast MP and leader of the SDLP Claire Hanna said. The mob hunted down non-whites and set fire to their homes. Carl Whyte, a local councillor, called it “a hard Far Right element”.

Reform UK's Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon still hasn't bothered to visit the council building yet and still hasn't attended any meetings as a Wigan Councillor. His photo on the website is his old 2024 General Election one.
