More people are waking up to the lies Farage and Reform are peddling, starting to challenge them. His populist policies are based on lies, he does not have the funding. He plans to cut net zero, this will take money from the economy but his connections to gas and oil will make him richer

Reform have done it again 🫣
for the second time this year, they’ve fielded 3 candidates in a 2-member ward. This time in Higham Ferrers (North Northamptonshire), where the election was postponed after the sad death of a Lib Dem candidate.

We’re leading the calls for Drax to publish its secret KPMG report - and took this story to the Guardian last week, but you wouldn’t know that from reading it. And this is the modified version, incredibly they first ran it without any mention of where this came from.

Blatant racism from Farage. The speech in Holyrood Farage is referring to was not made by Anas Sarwar but by former First Minister Humza Yousaf prior to becoming FM. But I suppose to Farage all brown people look alike. Yousaf never made the claims Farage said were in the speech either.

They claim there are 500k of them and it will shut down Britain.
Will be interesting to see how many blokes with sunburn do end up roaming the streets looking to beat minorities up.
