I think its important we don't forget this and how bad the Cameron Government was.

It would be more helpful for him to acknowledge and explain the role that his austerity policies played in encouraging people to vote for what he correctly critiques here.

Imagine having more money than you could ever need and instead of using it to tackle poverty or disease you give it to a bunch of entitled grifters who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

Crypto billionaires don’t become crypto billionaires by being generous or altruistic. They become crypto billionaires by being greedy, selfish, amoral, dishonest, untrustworthy shites. They don’t give away money for the common good. Is that who should control our politics?

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Reform UK's record-breaking donor was accused of running “in effect a money laundering platform”. Prosecutors accused Delo of being the “leader of a criminal enterprise” who knew that his Bitmex platform had become a “magnet for money laundering and criminal activity”.

Surely he has to resign again to let the people of Clacton prejudge the resukt of the police investigation? It’s much more serious than the investigation he resigned over last time…

I can’t believe we have reached a point where brave RNLI crew are being criticised for saving life by a bunch of morons who can just about make it downstairs to collect their burger deliver!

"A woman was viciously attacked and senior party figures found it funny. The message sent by Farage and Jenrick is clear: violence is an acceptable response to criticism," writes @mrjamesob.bsky.social Read more: trib.al/yNG6d5Y

"It was at this point that an oyster went down the wrong way and blocked my ear canals, meaning I missed the whole conversation where I agreed to a foreign donor illegally giving us £500,000..."

Nigel Farage said he’d declare a “national emergency” and make Parliament sit 24 hours a day if Reform UK are elected, and people were quick to point out a few flaws in his plan.

Yeah, I noticed that as well...hmmmmm

Womble1958@wimblewomble1958.bsky.social

The BBC News website is full of Reform stories, but there’s no mention whatsoever of the violent assaults on protesters by Farage’s disgusting racist followers at their conference… The police should be arresting these morons… 😒 #r4today #wato

94yr old JOHN WILLIAMS delivered a surprise performance of ‘The Imperial March” from Star Wars in front of 13,000 people at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday night. He is the soundtrack to our lives.

You don't really get the full picture of the walking stick incident until you watch both angles at the same time... (Left via @climate_resist , right via Franceinfo on TikTok) First full speed, then slo-mo and annotated.

So #Reforms welfare changes to save £50bn would appear to be one crook covering for another crook who got a £5 million bung and then misspent £250,000 on a by-election scapegoating the vulnerable 'nobodies' who would humiliate them. Cheers Nigel! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nigel Farage didn't have the decency to turn up and thank the staff who counted votes in the heat last night — too busy running away from the embarrassment and cost he caused.

Honestly, cannot stick ‘your voice’ on the BBC news. Basically reporters wandering around finding people, usually people not in work ,the nation a piece of their minds, which most of the time they cannot afford to give!
