Reform’s leading councillor in Portsmouth, George Madgwick recently argued that young people are overpaid – backing Nigel Farage’s call to reduce the minimum wage

But what he didn’t mention is that several tribunals found that some of his own companies have failed to pay wages and holiday pay

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Home invasions.
Child sex crimes.
Homicide.

Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.

The GOP isn't the party of law and order.

They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Brain meme:
Small Brain: β€œEnergy bills are high because of the woke green energy agenda”

Medium Brain: Energy bills are high because Trump is helping his Big Oil donors block cheap wind and solar, forcing us to use expensive, old, dirty fossil fuels plants.

Big Brain: All bills are high because burning oil, gas, and coal raises the cost 
of food, weather, health care, insurance, and more. The real cost of fossil energy is vastly higher than the price at the pump. 

Super Brain: Energy bills are high because we’re being bled dry by the rich.

Earlier this year Reform picked a dead woman to stand for election as Croydon Mayor.

Now they've let a "bat-shit crazy" person of interest to the police to decide party policy for the town and look after their data on London members

Every day, millions of households wake up asking a brutal question: how will I keep my home warm this winter?

The Warm Homes Plan is a real opportunity for the govt to protect vulnerable households from the cold - but only if they avoid repeating past mistakes.

If brands needed any more reasons to stop advertising on X, this is what you'd be supporting as an X advertiser: Holocaust denial (Grok's response to an antisemitic user with a H!tler profile picture).

Holocaust denial is a crime in France, so why can we see this there?
