Nigel Farage Says Minimum Wage Should Be Cut for Young People The Reform leader said cutting the minimum wage for young people would boost business, as he attacked plans to raise taxes on the wealthy

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of Β£280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a Β£10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Danny Kruger was a Tory
Zia Yussef was a Tory
Andrea Jenkins was a Tory
Sarah Atherton was a Tory
Jake Berry was a Tory

Where would Brentford be without air quality Brentford. Well, I suppose still between Ealing and the Thames but a lot less pleasant 😊

Renters' Rights Bill becomes law - here's what it means for you The biggest shake up to renting rules in England for 30 years will affect millions of tenants.

This will really help those who rent their homes, especially if they have dodgy landlords! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Caerphilly by-election: Just like that! In Tommy Cooper's birthplace, Farage nowhere to be seen as Reform loses The joke among Plaid supporters at the count was that long before the declaration Mr Farage was halfway down the M4 on his way back to London, Jon Craig writes.

Nigel Farage so dedicated to his constituency he had to rush away to Clacton. Sorry I mean GB News HQ. Or Washington. Well done Caerphilly

I think they will start booting them for bringing the party into repute. Would save so much time.

Reform UK suspends four councillors following shock video leak Reform UK has removed the whip from four county councillors as it investigates the leaking of a video from a heated party meeting.

Reform councils are at least consistent. They are all awful. By the way, I don't think Nigel Farage has ever met Linden KemKaren. If people say they have met it is false news.

The tally of wins in Local Government by-elections this week was Liberal Democrats 7, Conservative, Reform and an Independent 1 each. GB News headlined this outcome as: "Reform secures historic first in Super Thursday by-election"

I see the Blessed Nigel clocked up >Β£120,000 in May and June from making speeches. I'm not sure they were all in Clacton. Or the UK for that matter. Not declared in his register of interests until 3 October where he should have done so by 28th July at the latest. Nice work if you can hide it.

Here's the crime wave that shows theft of posh watches, handbags and jewellery are actually sharply down. Phone thefts are up, though but only 7 thefts in Hounslow borough last year

In Hounslow the discount you get if you use the Right to Buy bribe is more than twice what you have paid in rent over 10 years. The demand for council homes is partly driven by people who have alternatives but are motivayed to collect the bribe.

Government Gateway is absolutely pants. I have about half a dozen numbers and was told to use one of them. Then had to go through security involving photos of my passport and of my face. Tried to sign in to HMRC. They said that is not valid use a different one. That didn't work so I was shut out 😑

"If you have always voted Tory, then flirted with UKIP, was taken in by the Brexit Party, voted Brexit, then listened to Boris Johnson and voted Tory (Again) to"Get Brexit Done" and now you support/voted Reform, the state the country is in is because of you!"

Michael Heseltine likens Reform to fascists of 1930s in scathing attack Tory grandee Michael Heseltine likened Nigel Farage's Reform UK to fascist groups of the 1930s and lashed out at Kemi Badenoch's 'unforgivable' climate change plans

Michael Heseltine, always one of the decent Tories, has a entirely justifed pop at both Farage and the Tory leadership. It would be refreshing to see some current senior Tories (and Labour people) following his example. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Farage, Trump, Musk: your boy Javier Milei just took one hell of a beating. Why so quiet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The wild politics and chainsaw made Argentina’s president an economic hero for the right. And now, with his nation’s finances in chaos: silence, writes Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Farage's hero (almost as revered as Putin) is making Liz Truss look like Solomon. I am still convinced that British voters are not as misguided as the polls suggest

Lovely guy, Putin and his pal Farage agree. I'm surprised if Farage is after a pay rise. Perhaps he is. Or obviously not paid by the Russians, that would be treason

The only independent at the event to thank our great volunteer heroes(Ines). From Brentford West our eminent historian Janet McNamara and the team from Brentford Voice represented by Dr Bob. And the team from St Paul's eco church. Brentford West is small but perfectly formed, like it's councillor
