So Gary Neville is apparently a traitor despite employing 600 Mancunians, paying all his taxes and opening his hotel to front line workers during COVID lockdowns.
Sounds like much more of a patriot than those who criticising him who just spend their time talking the UK down.

Spent a couple of hours strolling round a very breezy Spurn this morning.
A skulking Yellow-browed warbler and a male blackcap gorging on haws were the highlights.

Reform lied to get elected to Kent County Council.
They promised tax cuts in their election material.
The only tax councils have any real say over is council tax.
Refore are now saying they will increase council tax in Kent.
Failure to deliver on what they promised after just 5 months.

Nothing says you oppose incitement to violence like using your conference to platform someone who urged people to set fire to hotels full of migrants.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Reform UK was created to make Brexit happen.
Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer.
Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer.
ANYONE WHO STILL BACKS REFORM IS A TRAITOR TO THE UK!
