Reminder Richard Nixon was impeached for trying to bug a hotel room.

Donald Trump has used his private army to murder at least 2 US citizens and he has lied about it, called the victims terrorists and protected their killers from justice.

He must go, to jail.

REFORM - leading in the polls - charges prospective candidates £125 to apply to run as an MP - before selecting a GB News host who is a colleague of the party leader and one of his MPs to run instead.

You'd honestly think this was newsworthy.

But apparently not.
Reform seem to have been charging people £125 to put themselves up as potential Gorton and Denton parliamentary Candidates:

Applications closed Sunday.

When did they select Goodwin?

Neither Reform UK nor Matt Goodwin speak for the working class - the former because of policy, the latter because of misplacement.

The veneer is starting to turn transparent, and voters in Gorton and Denton deserve better than the culture-war politics that are the only thing on offer.
Neither Reform UK nor Matt Goodwin Speak for the Working Class
Both can only ever speak about it - usually from London studios - while advancing policies that would actively hurt it.

"They said Alex Pretti was holding a weapon – but the weapon was never the gun. It was always the phone."

"The phone that reveals the truth is more powerful right now than a gun in the holster."

Officials took Pretti's phone after he was killed - will we ever see the footage?

Reform’s choice in Gorton and Denton tells you everything you need to know
Goodwin is a dangerous extremist with views on race that the vast majority of us find absolutely abhorrent.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK.

Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation.

It's a bold electoral strategy: vote for me and I'll throw you into the sea.

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Quite apart from the stench of grift, this guy offers absolutely nothing to Reform. No one is queuing up to vote for Nadhim Zahawi. His presence only drives home the idea that Reform is a refuge for Tory losers.

Self-inflicted wound by Farage.
Zahawi, having stood down at the last election knowing voters were about to give him a thorough bollocking, has now joined the growing roster of Tory rejects finding comfort in Reform’s failed MP support group.

Yes, there’s a voiceover (I’m practising).
