In his last couple of years, my dad made friends with a fox, who regularly sat with him while he was reading in the garden. The fox even made friends with a cat who also visited my dad. The fox is just visible in the top of the pic. #fox #wildlife #father

You pay NI which goes towards funding things like the NHS, but legally there is no link.

So Reform UK can cancel your NHS access and force people to pay Health Insurance if they want treatment, without cutting your taxes one bit.

Which is exactly what they will do.

Trump's ongoing pardons of convicted right-wing criminals has turned the White House into a cesspool of corruption, bribery, & graft…

And yet, the GOP remains complicit and spineless.

Enjoy. 😎✨

In February, the London Assembly Conservatives literally complained the Green budget amendment was woke.

We just called for pedestrian crossings to be installed at junctions on main roads with signals for motor traffic (to go in every direction), but no phase for people to cross the road safely.
just saw a headline about "Britain's most woke roundabout" and I think I'm done

Reform is a Limited Company

Farage owns 53%

It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”

It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget

It wants to privatise the NHS

& invest in fossil fuels

Close the BBC

& break International law

It’s a scam

Please retweet widely

Russian disinformation is fatal.
When Russian intends to bomb a civilian target, for example, Kremenchuk Railway Station, . . . they will plant online disinformation in advance that Ukraine is going to do it, and then they do it.

Brexit made it harder to return migrants who cross Channel, top Tory realises in leaked audio.

Tories govt knew they "can't any longer rely on sending people back to the place where they first claimed asylum". This wasn't on the side of the red bus.
