Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny! Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control ...

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

BP Pulse charges between 44p and 89p (inc 20% VAT) per kWh to charge your car. Domestic electricity - which includes cost of environmental subsidies and 5% VAT - costs 25.73p. Wholesale price currently 7.9p before VAT. Someone is being ripped off by someone!

Reinstating the winter fuel allowance is vital, but Farage’s plan to pay for it by cutting the Net Zero budget is madness - locking us into *higher* energy bills by increasing reliance on costly gas imports, rather than supporting cheaper green energy to get bills down for all of us πŸ™„

I ran for the leadership with a simple promise: to tell the truth.
To call out the lies & delusions that dominate Westminster.
@afneil is right β€” even I'm shocked by just how far Starmer will go to try to fool the public.

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, β€˜levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power?
No.
You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out β€œthe lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.

London is officially the second-best city in the world, according to a prestigious new ranking We’ll take it.

The gulf between what London is actually like & how it is portrayed by terminally online, self-styled β€˜patriots’ & their political heroes is absolutely incredible. I wonder how much it has to do with the city repeatedly electing a Muslim mayor…

A reminder about how much the Brexiteers cared about fishing before it became a talisman for their idiotic campaign.

Nigel Farage attended only 1 of 42 meetings when he was appointed to the EU fisheries committee

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

Bannon the latest in the β€œBritain doesn’t manufacture anything” brigade. It’s a lazy trope you hear repeated in the media a lot.

In fact the UK remains the 8th or 9th biggest manufacturer in the world. 10% of our GDP with some of the most advanced manufacturing anywhere.

Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY
