Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence. Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry. We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cofiwch Aberfan / Remember Aberfan Fifty-nine years ago today 116 children went to class never to return to their families after a coal spoil tip collapsed and engulfed the school. The tragedy also claimed the lives of 28 adults. One of the darkest days in Wales’ history. Never forgotten.

Yet another Reform MP has been accused of being in breach of Parliamentary rules. deputy leader Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality he received from Lubov Chernukhin – wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister. Deform are a set of traitors.

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes. It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia. Investigation now! #InvestigateReformUK #ReformRussianBribes

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

I’m old enough to remember when Farage told us only a clean break from Europe would solve this country’s problems and Brexit was the only answer. 10 years on and the impact of that vote is being felt from Lands End to John O’Groats and now that lying cvnt is trying to convince the same people

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

‘He always retains plausible deniability... but he sends a dog whistle to every racist in the country.’ Shabana Mahmood decodes Nigel Farage’s ‘clever’ tactics.

To the millions who voted Labour. We all want change. It's not going to come overnight Reform ARE NOT the alternative. They are THE OPPOSITE ! Patience ! Because decent people dont vote Reform

'The whole world has to treat him like a toddler arsonist, like a delinquent four-year-old with a petrol bomb in one hand, and a lighter in the other.' James O'Brien is concerned about what Trump's behaviour means for his Gaza peace deal.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

What is decency? People who show respect + tolerance. Provide charity + friendship. Show understanding, generosity, selflessness, and kindness Thoughtfulness +sharing. Loyal + sympathetic Decent people don't vote Reform

Ed Milliband on Elon Musk on LBC, "Just because you're a billionaire doesn't give you the right to tell us how to run our country" "This guy is a publicity seeking narcissist, who is inciting violence on our streets" "As the Americans would say: butt out of our politics"

Leighton reposted

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

It's no surprise that Nigel Farage hardly ever bothers to visit Clacton or turn up at Parliament. When he was an MEP, his attendance record was 748th out of 751. He's a workshy grifting gobshite.

If you spend just 5 mins researching Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari you will suddenly see clearly how much the media chooses to ignore the big stories for political gain. For a start no one seems to be asking where an unemployed former waitress found £900k to buy a house outright in Clacton
