I'm not saying that all Reform leaders are crooks and wannabee billionaires
but they do praise Nigel Farage, who has 12 paying jobs, and is suspected of home-buying tax-avoidance ...

Paul Nowak tells Byline Times that Keir Starmerโs Government must stop seeking to โout-Farage Farageโ, as Shabana Mahmood faces backlash over her asylum plans
bylinetimes.com/2025/11/17/t...
Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.
What the fuck are we?
"Mahmood said a raft of tough immigration controls were designed to unlock โthe inherent openness, tolerance and generosityโ of the British people."
Such nauseating shamelessness.
Feeling physically sick to hear on the news Shabana Mahmood saying that โillegal migration is tearing the country apartโ which she must know is not true. Whatโs โtearing the country apartโ is the cynical entrepreneurs of fear and hate who have gleefully pushed this non-issue.
