Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

🧵How much should the NHS worry about this winter's flu wave?
You may have seen this alarming headline on the BBC website today...
I think it's too early to make this claim and the data does not support it.
I think it will be a bad flu season but no evidence to think worse than previous yrs

The issue is that a woman working full time on a decent salary cannot afford rent on a one bed flat and the cost of childcare to allow her to work
THAT’S what should be being called out
But the RW media don’t want people questioning THAT
Better to vilify those struggling to make ends meet

Is it though? Do we actually have evidence of that? Real evidence, not healthy people putting their own interpretations onto the internal reality of living with chronic illness?

The cognitive dissonance on show to rewrite the message of Christianity just to justify your hatred agenda, is beyond parody. It's beyond anger. It's now compassion for that lost soul. It's now prayers for her. Love is the only way forwards now. The more they hate, the more we need to love.
