Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farageโ€™s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

Reform want to bring Trumpโ€™s thugs onto our own streets. They must be stopped.

Only a vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton on Thursday can stop them.

Hope will defeat hate.

To American followers: I had cancer. Apart from the travel costs (which I could have had reimbursed if I got my act together), I had chemo, surgery, radiotherapy, and 5 yrs of follow up monitoring for literally no cost to me. Don't give me shit about your health system. It is bullshit.

If our media wasnโ€™t populated with indolent wankers, weโ€™d never have voted for Brexit in the first place.The public ignorance and political dishonesty that discredit that โ€˜decisionโ€™ have media failure stamped all over them.
And now they all dodge accountability while we deal with the dismal fallout.

Why are the Sunday morning politics shows not calling out these untrue claims from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage? How hard can this be?

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

It's grotesque the way the BBC bring back disgraced elites like Johnson.

Having him on #bbclaurak is a kick in the teeth for everybody who lost people close to them during covid.

Did I go to bed and wake up in 2022?

Why is Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Boris Johnson?

Is the greased piglet on the grift? Has the scruffy sack of shit run out of money again?

Why would we need to hear his thoughts on anything?

Stop the Tories and Reform in House of Commons Vote tactically in House of Commons to stop the Tories and Reform

If your priority is stopping Reform you need to know who to vote for to do it. This site has the answer. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

BBCโ€™s Laura Kuenssberg interviews disgraced former PM Boris Johnson for her Sunday show?

I mean this is just ludicrous.

More good news for dental services.

Labour promised 700,000 additional urgent appointments and have so far delivered over 1m more.

But the definition of 'urgent' has been deemed too narrow, so it's being expanded so many more people in need to dental treatment will be helped.

Nigel Farage Is Losing the Plot The Gorton and Denton by-election could be the moment when the Reform UK leader's meteoric rise finally starts crashing down

โ€œReformโ€™s candidate, an oddball far-right former academic turned GB News presenter, is facing allegations of sexual harassment, while their โ€œinterimโ€ campaign manager.. has been exposed as a holocaust-denying anti-semiteโ€

Please god, G&D, donโ€™t inflict this on us.

As a โ€˜boomerโ€™ Iโ€™ve walked the line, moon walked, walked on the wild side, walked on sunshine, walked like an Egyptian, walked this way and walked 500 bloody miles.

Iโ€™ve done a lot of walking and Iโ€™m bloody tired!

If you want green, vote green

If you want Labour to be proper Labour again, vote green

If you don't want grifters, racists and fascists, vote green

It you want an MP who is familiar with the area and people, vote green

If you want Reform and are not yourself a multi-millionaire grifter, WTF?!

January Update under Rachel Reeves:
Retail sales up 1.8% month-on-month; 4.5% year-on-year;
Initial OBR estimates record a ยฃ30.4bn public sector surplus;
Inflation falls to 3%;
I thought the โ€˜girl from accountsโ€™ was meant to stay quiet - not deliver a ยฃ30bn surplus. #UKNews
