In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

...all the worst American imports from Reform...they are not British!
So, Reform would rocket-boost austerity, slash welfare *but not taxes*, cancel net zero progress, do mass deportations, huff out of the ECHR (torching the Brexit deal and our human rights)…
And to top it all off, there’d be this gem of US-funded christofascist authoritarianism on offer too.

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer
His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate
