UK Labour Member. We won. Now let’s deliver. But taking money off vulnerable people is not the answer to the country’s problems. So let’s not do that 🫡

This Sky News story should be “Reform backer spreads lies about UK population growth since 2020 to push a false narrative about the UK being colonised”. As that is exactly what he did and exactly what Sky News allowed him to get away with.

It is critical there is NOT a change in PM in the UK.
If there was, it would start the calls for a general election for the new PM to get their own mandate.
Replacing the PM THIS YEAR is part of Farage and the far rights plan to force a general election on 2027. New PM in 2026 and the GE in 2027.

We don’t have a functioning democracy when the people who lied to our faces to ‘get Brexit done’ are never held to account for the damage they’ve caused… and, worse still, are rewarded for life, for cynically or moronically selling our country out.

This is way more positive about the state of high streets than I would have expected, given the discourse around it
With the government announcing a £150m regeneration fund for high streets, just 35% of Britons with a high street in their area believe it's in a good state
Good state: 35%
Neither: 21%
Bad state: 43%

Reform would behave exactly as Donald Trump. Don't agree with them, and they will penalise, threaten, defund, and cancel you. They are proto fascists.

Farage claims his failed-Tory recruitment drive is because he needs people with experience of govt.
What he really means is - experience of lying. Repeatedly and shamelessly.
He has a stellar line-up with Braverman, Zahawi and the v practised, ‘Honest Bob’.
