A bit of a B'stard, but only to those who deserve it. Expecting THE SUPER RICH to pay their fair share of tax isn't envy. It's survival.

Fair idea.

I'll bet you're popular in some circles.😬
I definitely ruffled some feathers where I worked. I suppose in the long run it could be a good thing giving some food for thought. Even with a lot of resistance.

What gets me about Reform is that they're all hiding in plain sight.
I suppose because they're given a display of legitimacy by the msm at large, much of the public don't see the obvious.
Many certainly dislike having Reform's lies pointed out along with evidence. I've done that often enough.🤷🏻‍♂️

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question.

Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Reform appears to have a freephone number.
It would be really wrong to abuse this or keep them on the line for absolutely ages.....or ask for more "literature" which costs them to send....

When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’.
Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.

Whilst I agree the people supporting Palestine Action weren't ever exactly criminals, Palestine Action (whilst not being a terrorist organisation) don't seem too bothered about starving people and people made homeless in Palestine. There are far better anti genocide groups than these to support.

Nadhim Zahawi talking about walking past someone who looked like they hadn't slept in a week and being scared is just weapons-grade nonsense.

That said, whenever I walk around London looking tired, I don't blame people for giving me a wide berth, so I suppose there is that.

Hell yes, Democratic candidate Chasity Martinez just won the Louisiana HD-60 special election in a landslide victory after defeating the fascist republican challenger and holding that seat in a district the orange felon won by 13%.

Another victory for democracy.

Is this real? But WTAF?? On a number of levels.
Trump can't be in his right mind and do this.
He's not going to have made this picture himself. (Took it from somewhere else?)
This is so blatant (even for him). He must have at least have taken it down again.
