Reform UK is a far-right party.
There wouldn’t be any debate just a few years ago.
But the fact there is now shows something very worrying about the direction our politics is heading.

Who does Nigel Farage really work for?
Not Clacton, he’s never there and hardly uses his vote.
But the thought of ANY MP taking a call from a foreign leader to act on their behalf is beyond belief.
This man is finding new depths every day.

Why can't the BBC just be more impartial towards President Trump, like GB News, says Nigel Farage.

Leicestershire County Council has announced it is to pay consultants £30m to carry out a cost cutting review.
They said it would be £1.4m.
They lied.
They said Reform DOGE would do all this.

The far-right are telling us to turn on each other, all while lining their own pockets.
It’s a dangerous distraction game, stoking hate and division.

Cost of living isn’t just economics, it’s who gets heard.
This is a practical case for hope with receipts: stable energy, steadier rents, fair pay, services that quietly work.

Reeves has put cost of living centre stage.
But people don’t just need belt-tightening, they need to feel hope.
Warm homes, steadier rents, fair pay, visible wins.
The failure is twofold. How we’re communicated with, and what actually gets delivered.
@mkieran.com sets out how we can fix this.

Farage isn't a party leader. He’s a CEO, working for his property developer and wealth fund investors.
This isn’t just about Farage. But if we don't fix our democracy, it will be Farage and his donors who profit.

Nigel Farage has a new economic plan:
👔 Deregulate big corporations
❌ Scrap tax cuts for ordinary people
Because he knows that to win power in our broken democracy, you don’t need to serve the people, you just need to serve the money.

Farage is lying about the ECHR. He says it’s letting immigrants in, but the numbers don’t match.
He’s not trying to fix immigration, he’s trying to scrap the law that stops the government from legally stripping your fundamental rights.

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation.
Here in the UK, just one-third of the vote could give Nigel Farage a huge majority of MPs.
Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

Before Farage’s plan to rip the UK out of the ECHR even reached Parliament, 99% of MPs had already heard from their constituents – thanks to thousands of Open Britain supporters.
That pressure mattered. Yesterday, Farage found out he’s on the wrong side of this issue #ECHR #HumanRights #UKPolitics

What was once extremist is now mainstream.
The political spectrum is being pulled right by Farage, Wilders and Trump – and reinforced by leaders who echo their rhetoric instead of rejecting it.
When politicians legitimise hate, democracy weakens.

Some great arguments from @openbritain.bsky.social in support of the ECHR.
Support for leaving the ECHR is limited to a narrow political minority. Across the country, most people want Britain to uphold fundamental rights, not undermine them.
