We’ve updated our Clacton billboard to tell voters their MP just took £40k from a US firm that advises clients how to offshore their money and pay less tax. For the full story see video below 👇

We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.
But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion"

Reform UK MP jailed for 'repeatedly kicking his ex girlfriend'
He had not publicly disclosed the conviction before he was elected as an MP and downplayed the attack as a “teenage indiscretion”.

Less than 20% of farmers will have to pay any Inheritance Tax, and most of that 20% are multimillionaire or billionaire landowners, not farmers.

You have to admire Nigel Farage - who else would have the nerve to pretend to be the defender of farmers, after selling their whole industry down the river with his Brexit shitshow.

Jeremy Clarkson just explained that he didn't buy his farm just to avoid tax, he also bought it for shooting. Not sure "I would also be killing birds for fun" is quite the argument winner he thinks it is.

There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky.
So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction.
(They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

Imagine sitting down for a drink or a meal with people whose company you enjoyed & being told by management that half of the table would be now occupied by people who just wanted to shout ‘C**t’ at you. The exodus has absolutely nothing to do with ‘opinions’. Media reports must reflect this more.
