The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

If you look at the ridiculous case studies they dredged up & the desperate attempts to hang Reeves for ‘lying’ about the rationale behind a policy she *did not introduce*, you might work out why right-wing media is straining *not* to talk about the finer detail of her (unremarkable) budget.

Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill

The richest 150 people in the UK get £120,000,000 richer every single day, and that's not share value.
That's profit stolen from you through the Banks, Energy Companies, and Supermarkets they own.
But the problem is someone getting £10 on Universal Credit?

I guess it's a start: fares need to be brought down to discourage the use of aircraft and private cars for long journeys. I suggest a guide would be 50% of the cost of doing the journey by car.
Rail fares are to be frozen for the first time in 30 years, the government has announced

We are two days on from the sentencing of Nathan Gill, Reform Wales Leader, for taking bribes from a hostile state. Sent down for 10.5 years. It’s a big deal.

At what point will Labour politicians, locally and nationally, really start to push back against the endless underfunding of local authorities?

Why does no one complain about that?

It is the people who want to leave the ECHR and take away all your Rights.
Right to trial, right to healthcare, right to sick pay, right to holiday pay, right not be discriminated against.
