Paul Nuttalls of the UKIPs appointed Reform UK deputy chairman.

He's the man that lied about:

• Being a footballer
• Having a PhD
• Losing close friends at Hillsborough

NEWS. Winter Fuel Payment to be reinstated for all State Pensioners this winter, but then clawed back via tax system for all who earn over £35,000 (roughly average earnings). This is a big improvement. Full instant analysis video coming with all the details in a minute.

What the Brexiters are not telling you about the EU/UK summit: the deal promises smoother trade for British fish.

It’s the eternal trade-off between sovereignty and economic benefit.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Nigel Farage’s ‘£7 Billion DEI Savings’ Don’t Actually Exist

Nigel Farage's '£7 Billion DEI Savings' Don't Actually Exist
The media is widely reporting Reform UK's claims they could save billions by cutting equality schemes. The real figure appears to be around 250 times smaller, reports Josiah Mortimer

The BBC click bait Fartrage 'news' continues. The BBC is to blame, in great part, for the trise of the traitor
Farage has said Reform will fully reinstate winter fuel payments to pensioners and scrap the two-child benefit cap, if it gets into Government

Given they only have 5 MPs, Greens 4, and the LibDems 72 MPs highlights yet again the BBC showcasing the Far Right and studiously ignoring other parties❗️😡
Nigel Farage's Reform UK commits to reinstating winter fuel payment
Reform UK also plans to scrap the two-child benefit policy, as part of plans to outflank the government.

ITV News at 10 - Reform are plugged again for the umpteenth time since May 1st as having ‘won’ English local elections. Yet Lib Dems & Greens who also had spectacular results don’t get a plug/never get a plug. WHY do we allow these one sided narratives?Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The US deal is good work. Starmer acted to save British jobs. In exchange, he gave away almost nothing. After everything, Trump accomplished precisely fuck all. Both countries are still in a slightly worse place than they were when he came to power.

Farage:

"7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts".

Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born.

The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.

What Farage says about where his votes are coming from is also horseshit, of course. Latest YouGov poll shows Tories have leaked 20% of the 2024 support to Reform, but Labour just 6%. Though that still matters, it’s just a third of what Labour’s losing to Lib Dems and Greens…
Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:

He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.
Donald Trump authorizes U.S. military to take control of land on southern border
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum Friday giving the U.S. military jurisdiction over federal lands at the southern border.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.

He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.
