This is serious. New polling shows Reform UK surging—they could win 67 seats and become one of the biggest parties in Parliament.

They’re building a ruthless campaign machine to push their far-right agenda. We need to fight back. Will you join me?

Stop Reform UK's Far-Right Agenda
Reform UK’s rise is a threat to our communities, spreading division and pushing far-right ideas. In the 2024 General Election, they garnered 4.1 million votes, making it the largest GE vote share ever...

The world has already discovered more coal, oil and gas than it is safe to burn. This is our chance to tell our government to stop new drilling in the North Sea, end licensing for new exploration, and fund a just transition to clean energy. act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4262?ut...
Tell the UK: No new oil and gas
The UK government has paused making decisions on new oil and gas in the North Sea while it examines how to regulate new drilling. And it’s asking the public for our views.

Reform MP James McMurdock (won his seat by 98 votes) didn't disclose his conviction for assaulting his partner before the GE

He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion"

The Times now reveals he "kicked his girlfriend" repeatedly

Thoughts?

Reform UK MP jailed for 'repeatedly kicking his ex girlfriend'
He had not publicly disclosed the conviction before he was elected as an MP and downplayed the attack as a “teenage indiscretion”.

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.

Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.

Had you been taken in?
I wouldn’t blame you.

So, if Farage spends c. 130hrs/month on outside interests and gets paid £120,000 for that, then he won’t be earning his £91,000 MP salary at all. He’ll simply be taking it.
Clacton won’t have an MP serving their interests.
Just a grifter greedily leeching off prejudice and fear.

New depths of moronic victimhood plumbed…
By übermoron who took away our freedom of movement rights and was part of a Tory regime that limited our rights to strike, protest and vote and armed the far right with slogans and hate…
Now FREE to whine at the prospect of accountability.
Repulsive.

Very very difficult for Tories to do *any* moralising or *any* advice to Labour after spending 14 years epically screwing up, lying, grifting, multi-jobbing, giving out dodgy peerages and shouting their mouths off in the House of Commons.
Case in point…
