Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

This is an idiotic comparison.
Non-consensual sexualised images of women and children are created by adults, for adults.
Children being absent does sweet blue fuckall to prevent it.

I've had a little fact check and it seems to be true.
It used to take 5 to 6 months to train to be an ICE agent.
Now it takes 47 days - because Trump is the 47th president.
That's the reason.
Armed officers with extraordinary power.
FORTY SEVEN days of training to satiate the ego of a buffoon.

“It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald tRump's the 47th president.”—Senator Mark Warner.

What strikes me is that the Tories most likely to defect are the ones who are, pretty crucially, not actually in the House of Commons anymore.

Understandably, and routinely, the EU wants a penalty clause if we pull out of any reset deal. An insurance policy against Farage. We already pay a very high price for his Brexit shitshow. Now we’d pay even more if he ripped up any improvements. Which he insists he will.

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

'You Hate Free Speech' is the go-to Far Right smear every time a targeted group pushes back.

Trump basically supercharged an agency with a long record of misconduct, handed it military‑scale funding, loosened hiring standards, and flooded it with thousands of new recruits in a climate of hate that he helped cultivate.
At that point, it wasn’t a question of if
