A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed.
How about:
- It's WRONG
- It's IMMORAL

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested.
Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested.
The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

BBC News sum up gains for the UK
£2 billion - CPTPP
£5 billion - India
£9 billion - EU
However, keeping the UK outside an UK-EU Customs Union, and access to the EU Single Market costs us £140 billion a year
So yes, £9 billion is great, but nowhere near the £140 billion we have lost due to Brexit

If we’d been told Brexit would cost a divorce fee of £40bn, a further £100bn a year, kill small exporting businesses, increase immigration, lower food standards & deny people access to the latest cancer drugs, no one would have voted for it.
