I absolutely LOVE that Reform is now getting a taste of what X really is.

Twitter has been responsible for:

- The mainstreaming of racism
- The mainstreaming of transphobia
- Hundreds of thousands of anonymous accounts and bots amplifying the absolute worst opinions

Musk backs Restore. Enjoy.

Yes, we only have 8 MPs so we can’t have a Shadow Cabinet, but please remember that my supporters are far too thick to know about things like that.

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?"

Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️

No one in this @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social discussion is mentioning that many in Labour wanted to cover class discrimination in 2010 as part of The Equalities Act, absence of which Zia Yusuf is now citing as a reason to scrap it!

#newsnight If Yusef was actually interested he would have noticed that MPs have already investigated why white working class boys have done so badly… hint: decades of poor government policies have created it…

Rees-Mogg was little more than a cheerleader for Boris Johnson within the Tory government. Even they knew he was utterly useless. Caroline Lucas is still fantastic, running rings round him and the idiot Yusuf #Newsnight

Reform/Equalities Act: So why don’t they just add social class to the protected characteristics (which would be widely supported)? Because they want to send a signal about the other protected characteristics being down played. There is no other logical explanation for this bizarre policy. #newsnight

If you think equality's the problem, then you're a fascist. No matter how hard you dress it up with excuses about class, you're still a fascist. Because fascists are fixed on this issue #Newsnight

If Zia is so worried about social class discrimination, Reform could always find a way of *enhancing* the equality act rather than talking about trashing it. #newsnight

Do you really use the power of a 'thank You' quite often enough ?

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.

Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Who better to have as Chancellor than Robert Jenrick, the man who helped a billionaire pornographer avoid £45m tax in exchange for a £10k donation.

Suella Braverman is given the role of education, skills and equalities. A never-ending culture war in the making, you would think.

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?

Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".

Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.

Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.
