Kevin Hollinrake is a Tory and is therefore wrong about most things the last 10 years have brought, however we are never going to properly hold Reform Ltd to account if we pander to faux outrage everytime someone calls them out for what they are.
Asked about Hollinrake comparing Reform to the Nazis on GB News, Tory shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith plays dumb.

"I haven't seen the thing you talk about. I'm sure it's not quite as you say."

Aye right, as we say in Scotland.

It was always plainly obvious to anyone willing to think critically that #BorisJohnson was a self-serving, lying charlatan.

The tragedy of the #CovidInquiry is that people actually lost their lives, needlessly.

This is what happens when you put a preening, lazy, populist, dilettante in charge of a country.

Johnson was completely out of his depth and more concerned with his pathetic perceived popularity than leading this country through the greatest crisis since 1939.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

This country has lost its fucking mind, while the government has lost control of the narrative.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Pathetic.

Asked if Keir Starmer has made any representations to Donald Trump about his attacks on our national broadcaster, the Prime Minister's spokesman replies that "it is for the corporation to respond to questions about their editorial decisions".

#Leicestershire voters about to find out the expensive way what a complete con voting for Reform Ltd is. Grifters the lot of them.
Reform UK Leicestershire are crooks.

They announced consultants Newton would do a £1.4m savings review.

That’s ballooned to £30m in 6 just days.

Leader Dan Harrison is a con man.

Leicestershire you’ve been had.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

There was a time when I'd have cared deeply about the BBC.

But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.

Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

None of this would have happened if Gary Lineker was still in the building.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.

Let’s see Western media give the same credence to the collapse of the ceasefire as they did mere days ago when they were fawning over ‘Trump’s peace deal,’ which effectively doesn’t exist.

Perhaps the BBC should try it with ordinary people instead and see how that goes?

If anything, you have to give the people #GaryNeville was talking about credit for being out so quickly to prove him completely right.

Gary Neville has picked the wrong kind of free speech. His ‘deluded’ rant and ‘most dangerous lapse into self-parody’ has prompted a Sky Sports sack call.

The MailOnline really does need to be careful about calling this a ”racist’ outburst, by the way...

Shabana Mahmood back in 2014: "surely the current death toll in Gaza is the clearest sign of a disproportionate & indiscriminate response"

How can you say Israel killing 2,300 Palestinians in 2014 was disproportionate & indiscriminate, but what its been doing for the past 2 years isn't?
