We are also concerned about politicians making misleading statements. Kemi Badenoch says the Budget means workers on £35k will be £1400 worse off because of frozen tax thresholds. Analysis by Resolution Foundation says the sum lost is nearer £150-£200 a year in take-home pay.

They'd like to think so. But UK is celebrating Reeves' autumn budget which lifted at least half a million children out of poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap. The cap limited benefit to only 2 kids per family. Any more children meant a family struggling with poverty and deprivation.

The mere mention of their name makes people uncomfortable and queasy. Something not quite right about them. Reminds you of WW2 and the warning "Careless talk costs lives". Believe it or not there were Brits amongst us secretly working for Hitler until they were interned.

Nothing. They’re seeing if Fivegaffsfarage will do his own legs as if Labour was to do it, it would be a witch hunt, trying to take down the opposition because Labour are scared of Reform, etc.
Whereas if FGF conduct his own investigation, it would come from the horse’s mouth…

Look, Ed, I think you're being really unfair linking Farage Reform Ltd with Russia based on the numerous times the CEO, Farage, has been on Russia Today & Nathan Gill and all the other examples.

Between this and Farage's "One Bad Apple" comment (framed entirely contrary to its meaning of course), we can assume that Farage is also in Putin's pocket, yes?

What was the rest of the answer tho? Proper investigation or not? Not just into Reform, but Brexit party/UKIP, referendum, Conservative Friends of Russia, House Of Lords deals, etc.
