In Parliament REFORM have voted against:

Ban on fire/rehire of workers on worse working conditions.
Ban on exploitative Zero-hour contracts
Improvements to paternity leave
Allowing workers bereavement leave
Improvements in sick pay

Why are workers supporting a party that will reduce their welfare?

HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Littleβ€”"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

This is completely insane, utterly reprehensible & hideous. Donald Trump has shared a bizarre AI video sharing his vision to turn Gaza into a beach resort complete with a giant golden statue of himself in the heart of a revitalised city devoid of traces of all Palestinian culture

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.

Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism"

It's amazing some people see multimillionaire Nigel Farage, owned by GB News, owned by Donald Trump, owned by Elon Musk, never worked a real job in his life.

A billionaire owned, never a common man.

But still they think, he's going to fight for me against the billionaires.

The US government is no ally of Europe.

We should fight Russia off ourselves and give the US nothing.

Yes; but rather than admit they were fooled, they'll simply double down, and blame "deep state agents" who deliberately frustrated their plans, despite holding absolute power.

A bit like Brexit.

The foundation of any resistance movement lies in solidarity, purpose, and unwavering commitment to justice. Transformation begins when collective action overcomes fear and apathy.

Proud patriot Isabel Oakeshott moves to Dubai to avoid tax hike Isabel Oakeshott has said Labour's 'pernicious tax on private schools' prompted her to relocate to Dubai with her kids.

You couldn’t make this up.

Proud β€˜patriot’ Isabel Oakeshott girlfriend to Reform UK’s Richard Tice, is well know for her anti immigrant, anti Muslim & a anti β€˜sharia law’, views but she’s moved to Dubai to apparently, avoid Labours Vat on private school.

Why do people fall for these grifters

If you look back at history, there were many international commentators who said that Hitler wasn’t serious about the things he was saying. It was all for show.

Really quite extraordinary to see demands for Starmer's resignation, in response to his being open about terrible mistakes that happened between 2017-2024, from the very politicians who were in charge during that time - sometimes at the depts that messed up. ~AA

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.
