Two questions to put to anyone who plans to vote for Reform UK.

1) Which UK political party do you think racists vote for?
2) Which UK political party do you think Vladimir Putin likes best?

Note - the answer is the same for both questions. Good luck Zack.

The right try and distract us by constantly talking about immigration.

Cost of Living, the NHS, the climate crisis - let's keep them on the agenda.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

So so close to £200,000!

Other parties are funded by the super rich, hedge funders with private healthcare, oil and gas and arms traders.

We're growing our movement with the people.

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:

“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”

More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

Hehe
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

It is not in the interests of private companies to invest in something that isn’t going to make a profit! There’s no way literally on this earth, that our water should be privatised!

Water should be back in public hands and in the hands of a government who gives a damn!

Perhaps this will serve as a warning for anyone thinking of voting for #Reform.

But sadly, I doubt it.
The black hole in Durham County Council’s budget has grown by £11.1mn in the past two months under the control of Reform UK.

Its cabinet has been forced to approve a £10mn list of cuts.
