Brexit hasn't been betrayed.
The British people have not been betrayed.
The betrayal was Brexit.
Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

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

Fact-checked live. The toxic wotsit ain't gonna like that.
NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution.
TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."
MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.”
Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

This is absolutely insane. There are people STILL ALIVE TODAY who were disabled by polio! What is happening?
This reveals that RFK’s whole “oh you can get a vaccine if you want to, just no mandates” thing is bullshit because he’s going after the vaccines themselves.
Vaccines which, for the record, are one of the keystones to our civilization. Particularly regarding the survival of children.

I don't care if this is a remote chance. It is too serious to allow any possibility of it happening.
