Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Well, there's a surprise... and apparently Farage is trying to "woo centre ground voters." The idea of Farage trying to woo anything, is enough to put you off your breakfast.

Yes, let’s see if a left progressive party, who stands up to billionaires gets propelled onto every slot available slot compared to a far right regressive party who supports billionaires.

Very proud of my host nation on many fronts.

The war they won’t have to fight I know what war does to families. It doesn’t stay β€œover there”; it will be felt here too, for years to come. I don’t know how anyone who claims to love this country can support this

When Nigel Farage called people from the Commonwealth ’kith and kin’ to sell his toxic Brexit

Now he wants to take away their vote.

Yes. Personally I’d like to see more representation and voting rights extended in the U.K. and EU nations. Anyone with settled status or permanent residency for example.

While all reasonable thinking people understand the reasons why young men may take on dangerous asylum routes, still a third are
women & children which could increase due to Labour policy

The breakdown of this data from Zoe is great for combating the ridiculous β€˜fighting aged men’ rhetoric

Does anyone remember that during the Brexit campaign, one of Nigel Farage’s arguments for leaving the European Union was to allow the UK to adopt a fairer immigration system for Commonwealth citizens?

Now he’s saying they shouldn’t be allowed to vote proving yet again the sort of country he wants.

Likewise. It’s nice to be surprised. It’s great to see the law being applied equally

Andrew Mountbatten’s arrest sends a strong signal. No one is above the law

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to β€˜Topple’ Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that β€œwe are overthrowing May right now” as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

Steve Bannon to Epstein - We are overthrowing May right now

”Today we are going to see if Boris Johnson tries to overthrow the British Government” Bannon filmed saying

β€œHe’s going to give a speech in the Commons. I’ve been talking to him all weekend about this speech” @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Police assessing records of private flights at Stansted after publication of Epstein files Move comes after Gordon Brown’s claim that files show sex offender used airport in Essex to β€˜fly in girls’

Good! This comes after the former PM Gordon Brown claimed the documents showed in β€œgraphic detail” how Epstein was able to use the Essex-based hub to β€œfly in girls from Latvia, Lithuania and Russia”

Brown said Stansted airport was where β€œwomen were transferred from one Epstein plane to another”

I’m from a working class, former mining community in South Wales. Exactly the type of area where young white men are left behind

I can assure you it’s not the Equality Act stopping these boys & men from achieving in a 98% white community but that’s exactly what Reform UK are trying to portray.

Most smaller parties do, yes, in their manifestos and policies. All basically say that the time is right politically. Greens are definitely the most vocal and unafraid to say so. Lib Dems say 'when the time is right'. Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru, and Alliance Party (Northern Ireland) all do

A Colombian congresswoman who supports Trump denounces her son’s arrest by ICE: β€˜He has been chained up for 20 days’ Ángela Vergara calls for β€œintervention” by Gustavo Petro’s government to speed up repatriation flights while facing criticism for her ideological closeness to the Republican candidate

This is the thing about people who support xenophobes, racist, and authoritarian type leaders.

They know that some groups will suffer but they just don’t care - until it’s one of them

Yet history tells us, fascist authoritarian leaders always go after everyone eventually

National Student Pride to end after reduction in sponsorship Organisers say sponsorship has dwindled over recent years, meaning this weekend's event will be its last.

How sad & goes to show how corporations & donors will react to discrimination & political rhetoric, leaving vulnerable groups even less represented

Annual event aimed at giving LGBTQ+ students networking opportunities set to end after 21 years in years in London after drop in corporate sponsorship
