The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

There it is.

Farage and Reform would end our NHS.

Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

Margaret Thatcher's Poll Tax wanted to charge everyone the same amount of Council Tax, it was abolished as being too unfair.

The current Council Tax charges people in bedsits in Blackpool more than people in mansions in Westminster.

It is even worse than Poll Tax.

Reform-run Kent County Council under fire for β€˜ripping up’ lampposts in Canterbury | LBC The Reform UK-led council is planning to remove almost 250 historic lamp posts and replace them with β€œcheap and banal” alternatives

So much for Reform respecting and protecting our history.
They should be nowhere near public office.

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

Post image Farage is planning to focus his campaign on the broad slogan that
"Britain is broken, Britain needs Reform" in a campaign coalescing around three areas: law and order, the cost of living and migration.

Farage said: "It's double or quits. As far as I'm concerned we are just going to go for it. If we come out of it without a single penny in the bank account and everyone is exhausted ... It is the single most important event between now and the general election.

"On it depends the future of our prime minister, the future of the leader of the opposition and indeed my own relative strength or otherwise as leader of Reform. If we bombed people would ask questions. My entire focus and energy is on the planning and preparation for it."

Farage going all out for the locals this May… spending millions to con voters into believing he’ll fix what he made sure he broke. Pleased that his base likes his racism. Strutting around in his brexity soiled pants like the big I am.

Please let’s bin him off now.

Let me explain the problem so you understand why your taxes are so high, your wages so low and your services so bad.

In the 1970's about 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government to fund services and cut taxes.

Now due to Privatisation it's about 5

NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs

That's an extra Β£3 billion a year

Why?

Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

Musk used his wealth to incite violence, hatred in the US & UK.

How long before UK execs demand more for mediocre performance.

The ultra rich buy political system, bribe politicians, create pollution and inequity.
