We’re told tax is a curse and even “theft.” That’s wrong. Tax is how we build a fair society. It’s how we express our shared responsibility. The real immorality lies in avoiding tax. In this video, I explain why tax is not a burden but the foundation of democracy itself. youtu.be/4UXpnRL3WVE?...

'Centrists' will plead with or harangue anyone who would rather donate both kidneys than vote for Keir Starmer, bleating about letting in Farage.
I'm not worried. Have you seen the mess Reform make of councils? In power, they'd be out as fast as Truss. That boil lanced, we could get on with Green.

Rep. Nancy Mace is sending a clear message to every constituent who isn’t Christian: you don’t matter.
We believe every life deserves protection — regardless of religion.

Aside from the frothing racism of these people, what is really grim about this is the idea that government are powerless to change culture. If your constituents think these things *they are wrong* and you need to explain why. It's not actually your job as an MP to rubber stamp fascism.
