Linden Kemkaran and the other KCC ReformUK councillors are being treated as puppets who are simply there to do Farage's bidding.

My message to the millions of One Nation conservatives who reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is this:
Come and join us. Help us save our country. Come and win with us.
The Conservative party has given up being the party of law and order.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iβve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
Presumably she just made that up, in the same way as she made up the 'fact' that Northern Ireland 'voted for brexit'

But the Liberal Democrats say thatβs not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.
Iβm old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
The horrors in Gaza must stop.
And when the one man with the power to make it stop β Donald Trump β arrives in the UK today, Keir Starmer must do all he can to make the President act.
Gosh.. ReformUK are really hoovering up the dregs:

Keir Starmer:
"The UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September unless ... " WTF ??
Whether a state is a legitimate state worthy of recognition as such does not depend on the actions of some other state. Its about whether it is merited in its own right.
