The Reform scam and scandal continues. Investigation required on finances, influences and circumnavigating the rules. Trying to use foreign companies not trading to donate to them is just one. Let's see thd full Russian influence on Nigel

The hypocrisy of the UK right wing press who daily publish blatant lies, Times, Mail, Express, Telegraph, Sun, Daily Star and the Spectator to push the agenda that BBC are left bias is a sick joke. Previous chairs and senior board are all ex Tory and Tory donors, Reform are given airtime constantly

70k signatures to rejoin the EU. Big petition, timely too - polling shows the public is in favour. Let’s get it to 100k and push Labour to debate rejoining. It’s the glaringly obvious solution our economic problems and the rise of the far right.

What do Libya, Iran, Yemen and the USA have in common?
They are the only countries in the world not signed up to the Paris Climate agreement now. Trump supporters, I would say hang your head in shame as climate deniers, but you have no shame, no moral compass or compassion, just brainwashed hate
