Firm leading council savings review could receive Β£30m The county council currently needs to plug an expected Β£90 million gap in its day-to-day spending

Reform UK Leicestershire are crooks.

They announced consultants Newton would do a Β£1.4m savings review.

That’s ballooned to Β£30m in 6 just days.

Leader Dan Harrison is a con man.

Leicestershire you’ve been had.

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Musk, Robinson, Lowe etc, are responsible for radicalisation of young white men....

Leicestershire County Council to spend Β£1.4m on efficiency review The Reform UK authority says it has appointed consultants to look at ways of cutting spending.

Who remembers DOGE and that Reform UK promise that THEY would do this?

Β£1.4m is the cost to the taxpayer for doing what councils do already in finding efficiencies.

DOGE was a con.

Hi, lovely Bluesky friends. I've got 2 tickets to see @mattgreencomedy.com in Taunton this Saturday, but after my cataract op, I don't feel safe driving πŸ˜• I'm absolutely gutted, but was wondering if anyone local would like the tickets? No need to pay, but I'd hate them to be wasted. Let me know? x

Farage, is giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments but his own party put a teenager with zero work experience in charge of running an entire county

Bunch of clowns.

Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers (...) we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler. Farage told us the flag-raisers were just ordinary folk sticking it to the system.(...) a shaky claim.

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...

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a β€˜nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

Female survivors of grooming gangs demand apology from Nigel Farage Exclusive: Five women said Reform leader’s comments that they were victims of other types of sexual abuse were β€˜degrading’ Five women have asked for an apology from Nigel Farage after he suggested they were not victims of grooming gangs. Last week, they wrote to Keir Starmer saying they would only remain on a panel advising the government’s inquiry into the issue only if the safeguarding minister Jess Phillips stayed in post and β€œanyone who believes their evidence should be included” could contribute.

Reform UK, backing US farming.

Lee Anderson doesn’t understand British farming.

He’s keen to point out salads are chlorine washed, but he’s not keen to point out that you don’t need to with chicken you can cook chicken so long as it’s reared in reasonable conditions.

But you can’t cook salad.
