Call me old-fashioned, but I just think that if you are announcing £10bn of spending, then if the Shadow Treasury team and the leader's office are doing their jobs properly, the leader should have clearer answers to these questions:

"I'm not a defence expert." Even by Kemi Badenoch's lamentable standards, this is agonising. Just give thanks she will never, ever be Prime Minister. 🙏 #politicslive

Hi @westmidlandspolice.bsky.social, A physical assault was committed yesterday at the NEC Birmingham at the Reform party conference. Perhaps someone in your force should find this perpetrator?

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

“Every time [Farage] tries to persuade the country he’s running a serious party and that it isn’t a one-man band, something seems to happen to make it look like a dodgy, third-rate clown show.” What an u̶n̶l̶u̶c̶k̶y̶ ̶c̶o̶i̶n̶c̶i̶d̶e̶n̶c̶e̶/nailed-on inevitability… Ffs enough now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Who doesn’t rent their spare room back to themselves to offset tax, keeping it £1 less than the amount which would trigger a required to declaration according to Parliament's reporting standards. Working class hero.

When he was an MEP, Farage excused his absences on basis that it was an illegitimate government and that sovereignty should reside in Westminster. He's now an MP in Westminster And he's been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...

Reform UK is facing mockery as MP Danny Kruger refuses to say if Nigel Farage will share evidence of his alleged "Russian hack". Critics say hiding behind unverified conspiracy theories is a cheap attempt to dodge scrutiny over a hidden £5m gift. 🏛️🔍 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Turns out I have a £9,400 County Court judgement against me for an unpaid debt, which I didn't even know about. But please put me in charge of the country's finances and the whole of the UK economy.

Interesting that Reform announced their Makerfield candidate today via press release and not a press conference. Almost like there is something that Nigel Farage would quite like to avoid answering questions about.

Is Farage the only person in Britain that gained from Brexit - he might be. This secret £5m bung, which was first claimed as security money - is now described as a reward for Brexit, the economic Tsunami that stripped £150 billion from our economy and cost all us over £2k every single year since.

And here’s a convicted criminal paying for Farage’s security long after he secretly accepted £5 million from Christopher Harborne supposedly to pay for his security.

annasophiegross.bsky.social@annasophiegross.bsky.social

NEW: On the £5mn Harborne gift (which Farage says he didn’t have to declare because it was to cover his security before he became an MP) Farage did declare a donation from George Cottrell in mid-April 2024, which covered his accommodation and travel and “security provision”.

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.

Was that £5m crypto billionaire gift to Farage given to him: a) unconditionally b) to pay for security c) as a reward for 27 years pushing for Brexit You decide - because Nigel 'I'm not a crook' Farage can't.

Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

rawliwhite.bsky.social reposted

So today, £5million-giftboy, Farage bins his planned appearance on #bbclaurak But as soon as he wants scrutiny-free attention, he’ll be back. How dare he use the media when it suits him and shun it when it doesn’t. No one wanting power should have that kind of control over their own accountability.

rawliwhite.bsky.social reposted

It's mad that a £5 million donation to Fag Ash Farage has raised less eyebrows than Keir Stamer getting a new suit. Or, Richard Tice actively avoiding paying £200k in tax compared to Angela Rayner making an honest mistake on her stamp duty. It's never been more clear that our media is against us
