Albeit a sort of responsible version of it, since they are being tipped onto an existing landfill.
All these disgraced Tories joining Reform is the political equivalent of fly-tipping.

Amazing news that Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK a mere 194 days since her husband, Rael Braverman, left Reform UK for comments they made criticising his wife.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

The Reform meltdown over Zack Polanski having fun in a club is pretty funny on one hand, but tragic on the other.
Do they just sit at home scrolling their phones going “argh, look at all these people having a good time, it makes me so damn angry, I’m gonna tweet about it 😡” ?
Have a day off lads.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.
I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

Can someone please ask him where exactly in the law it says this & precisely what sort of protest it is ok to bring a gun to.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Can somebody please explain to me how it is possible that *30 000* pro democracy protesters have been killed in two days in Iran - with countless thousands deliberately blinded by police- and yet hardly a peep from ‘leftists’? This is so deeply fucked up.

I just can’t see how these two sides can ever be reconciled if something as fundamental as “secret police death squads murdering citizens - yes / no” provokes this kind of extreme deviation in opinion.

Surely no one is surprised by this, right? Turns out it was never about the constitution .
Folks have been noting the creepiness of this NRA statement on the Minneapolis murder that DOESN'T affirm Alex Pretti's right to have a gun at a protest, instead blaming "radical progressive politicians lie Tim Walz" who have "incited violence against law enforcement officers" for his death....
