I have voted in the Senedd elections. I did NOT vote for Reform UK. They are NOT our friends. They are a bunch of blinkered, misguided people following a self-serving self-centred right-wing racist grifter.

Reform UK, the real Nasty party.

Reform should call itself Retory: Nadhim Zahawi Ben Bradley Malcolm Offord Jonathan Gullis Chris Green Lia Nici Kruger Dorries David Jones Sir Jake Berry Graham Simpson Marco Longhi Ross Thomson Andrea Jenkyns Aidan Burley Alan Amos Lee Anderson Ann Widdecombe Maria Caulfield And counting

Another great night for Starmer's "Labour" party as Welsh Labour lost the Caerphilly Senedd seat to Plaid Cymru. Tactical voting by many to keep out Reform UK? Probably. Horror by voters as Starmer lurches "Labour" to the right to try to gain Reform UK votes. Again, probably.

Reform is a Limited Company Farage owns 53% It was formed in 2019 to push for a โ€œno-deal Brexitโ€ It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget It wants to privatise the NHS & invest in fossil fuels Close the BBC & break International law Itโ€™s a scam Please retweet widely

Dear media. It isn't "British" steel because: 1 - the Scunthorpe plant was owned by a Chinese company; 2 - various Govts have allowed plants in other parts of Britain to close, most recently the Indian owned plant in Port Talbot.

So, China has imposed a 34% tariff on all goods from the USA. Well, in 2024, the USA exported $13.35bn of oil seed, fruits, grain etc to China. Guess this doesn't bode well for the US agricultural sector. Great job Trump, you absolute idiot.

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a picture of Winston Churchill in 1943, wearing his wartime 'siren suit' on his way to meet President Roosevelt. He wore the same suit when he went to ask for more money under Lend-Lease the year before.

Just watched a video on the cost of healthcare in the USA. So, I calculated how much tax I pay to fund the UK National Health Service. Context - I'm retired & live in Wales, UK. Annually, via tax, the NHS costs me ยฃ270 ($335 / โ‚ฌ324). That's for all treatments, all drugs, everything.

This is the reality of Reform. They want healthcare via private insurance. A vote for Reform will seriously injure your health & pocket. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.
