I guess someone heard from Tylenol’s lawyers.

Oh Bear, hubby should really be more sympathetic! Courage, you will be better soon

Sorry to hear that, Bear, get well soon.

Reform MP's comments 'ugly' but intention was not racist, Farage says

No, no - Sarah Pochin absolutely was racist and the data she’s relying on to justify said racism doesn’t say what she says it does.

This tells me that she either doesn’t understand the data, or she’s twisting it to suit her own agenda.

Either is very possible.

Probably BOTH

Yup

This is 100% pure racism, inexcusably so, and no amount of “my phrasing was poor” can ever excuse this bile.

It also caps what was a very bad week for Reform UK - the mask is well and thoroughly slipping.

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that

No, no, people aren't blind and they aren't stupid.

We saw exactly what you said and how you said it.

We know how you feel it was crystal WHITE clear.

Reform’s Sarah Pochin forced to apologise after claiming adverts 'full of black people' drive her 'mad’ | LBC The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

My wife has leave to remain, a Belgian, and has lived here for 40 years.

After being a lifelong Labour voter, I've joined the Greens today, the only party that has left-wing principles. 👍

To everyone who follows me in the United States - I am thinking of all of you today while you protest against the bright orange geriatric sexual predator/felon squatting in the White House.

You have massive solidarity from many millions of people in the United Kingdom.

Let them hear you roar!

I certainly don't

Surprised, anyone ?

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Absolutely

Leaving the ECHR won’t fix illegal migration Half-baked tales of rulings turning on chicken nuggets are no basis for cutting Britain adrift

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.

Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.

Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.
