The UK has been damaged so much by Brexit and Neo Liberalism (a failed economic experiment) and we need to change urgently.

Maddening 😡
When someone as much as farts the BBC runs to Reform MPs/supporters for their opinion on it

Yet when a former Reform politician is jailed for 10.5 years for accepting Russian bribes…

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.

Labour need to do more straight talking and be more honest with the electorate. Calling out racism is partly how you tackle Reform.

Everybody: please stop mentioning that Farage was regularly on Russia Today, a channel now banned for its Russian propaganda content, blamed the EU for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014, had a Russian spy running his Welsh operation, and built his whole career on a policy Putin supports.
Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia.

It’s obviously starting to hurt.

The right and far right of British politics are increasingly backing Reform. The centre and left of politics are fragmenting even more. Because of our ridiculous voting system there will only be one winner.
