Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

If democracy has any meaning left, it has to mean ballots, not bullets.
Disagreements, not assassinations.

Reform is a Limited Company
Farage owns 53%
It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”
It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget
It wants to privatise the NHS
& invest in fossil fuels
Close the BBC
& break International law
It’s a scam
Please retweet widely

🇺🇸 Non-MAGA Americans - listen up!
At the Bylines Network (UK), we've a new project to amplify non-MAGA American voices at a time when US media are not adequately capturing the chaos, fear & disruption in people's lives.
But we're collecting the stories. This is citizen journalism. Take a look. 👇
