I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.

This is very long overdue.

Emily Thornberry makes an incredibly patronising, smug video on Labour account on Instagram - even by her standards!

These Labour ministers with Reform- just can't seem to stop talking about the Green Party.

And it's just making membership rise & rise!

No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists

When I first heard about Farage’s racist teenage rants, I assumed they were an adolescent phase. But the more we find out — they went on for many years — and his reaction to the revelations (‘liars’) shows no contrition, no apology, suggests these beliefs are still active

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.

Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.

Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.

Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.

Back to Victorian times.

And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto news channels to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist

“It was only banter.”

The last refuge of the racist/misogynist/homophobe…

As the perpetrator, you do not have the right to decide what is banter and what is not.

That right always belongs to the victim.

With the largest ever political donation in history coming from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire and going to far-right Reform, it is clear that Nigel Farage is firmly the pocket of the billionaires and super rich establishment.

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk.

Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me.

It's not going to work on anyone.

While I think most literate people can be insightful and articulate in text form, if given enough time to collect their thoughts, it is a rare talent to be able to do that verbally, in real time, while responding to interruptions, hostile jibes or pointed questions and STILL get your point across.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

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.

Farage doesn’t support workers rights !
Labour’s Employment Rights Bill - a rare effort to address inequality of power.

“A large majority of voters backing Nigel Farage also want stronger working rights. Yet he and his MPs voted against every item in the bill.”
But of course they did.
