Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT

"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"

Ask someone why they are voting for Nigel Farage and you will get a racist rant or a belief that he will do exactly the opposite of what he would do

Nigel Farage hates pensioners
He hates Disabled People
He hates free Healthcare

If you are old Nigel Farage will kill you

Pleased to successfully vote against Nigel Farage’s Bill to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The ECHR reflects British values of fairness and decency - not something to be discarded for political headlines.

Ed Davey, "We've seen evidence of Russian interference in Poland, Germany and France"

Keir Starmer says it is a serious problem but refuses to agree to an investigation into Russian interference in British politics

Seconded. This is one of the most pressing issues facing the UK. Cut the Russian funding, block the Russian troll farms and you've almost wiped out the toxic rise of far right extremism.

Maga alternative reality is hilarious until you realise that too many believe this crap for comfort.

Getting sick of fascists and racists being over-represented on TV.

Aren't you?

We've tried trickle-down economics for the same length of time as East Germany tried one-party Communism. Neither system worked.

Why does Farage need another press conference?

All he is doing is spouting more lies, nonesense & racism as usual.

The media need to stop giving Farage & Reform so much air time.

Christopher Harborne is by far the largest donor to Nigel Farage he has donated Β£13.7m since 2019.

He lives in Thailand and owns QinetiQ defence company which makes Laser and AI weapons for the USA.

Nigel Farage is literally owned by the US Military Industrial Complex.

If you support Brexit, you support Farage by default.

I’m sure they’ll find a teeny space where no one much looks to β€œreportβ€œ this eventually.

But why has this Government allowed the BBC Board to continue to be constituted as it is?

Nigel and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Week From racist MPs to phantom audits, Reform UK’s revolution is starting to look less β€œtake back control” and more β€œlost the password again.”

A week of racism scandals, phantom audits, public meltdowns in Kent, and a Russia problem that just won’t die - it’s been a hell of a time for Reform UK.

Meanwhile, the government quietly admits Brexit’s to blame for the mess.

Nigel’s very bad week indeed.

Reform get absolutely annihilated in Caerphilly but the Media make it a story about Labour.

Are they trying to cover up the embarrassment of Farage being absolutely certain his party would win?

Pretty sure those union flags will more than make up for your un emptied refuse bins, pot holes in the roads & pavements as well as the lack of other services you pay council tax for. When will ppl wake up to these bullshiters.

Quite.

Katie Lam’s grandmother’s family were refugees escaping political persecution in Germany.

Her Grandfather escaping the Holocaust (whilst losing most of his families to it).

I hold people like her, who should have a felt understanding of the need for sanctuary, in deep contempt.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Farage will have had his victory speech already prepared as he was sure they were going to win!
So heartening to read that he was already on the M4 before the vote had been announced!

Labour doesn’t really have a β€˜dilemma’. It has a choice: change direction or die. Keep chasing Reform voters and Labour will be wiped out in the local elections and then wiped out in the general election.

Remember that they’re supposed to be on the left, and they could still win it all again.

It's all projection. Trump is accusing all of us of being criminals and terrorists and violent but he is pardoning criminals who helped terrorists.

Nigel Farage wants to ban strikes for Government Employees, which actually includes him too.

So if he doesn't turn up for PMQs he should be fired.

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way.

Except for the Β£600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Reform will ban all Government Vaccinations like they have done in America.

Leaving the ECHR would hand Putin a huge victory in his war against human rights and international law.

Those who advocate doing so are colluding with an enemy of our country.

They are traitors.
