Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

β€˜Tory defectors tell us Britain is broken – but they are the culprits’ | The News Agents Suella Braverman becomes the latest Tory MP to jump ship and join Reform UK. Does her defection damage the Conservatives – or is it Nigel Farage who should be worried?

"Tory defectors are presenting us with a diagnosis that Britain is broken – but there is one clear set of culprits as to how we got to this place..."

Who wants to tell Suella Braverman?

75% of Reform UK’s donations have come from just three rich men Calls grow for donation caps as Democracy for Sale research reveals that three-quarters of Reform’s funding comes from a trio of wealthy donors

πŸ”΄ Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

Brexit had blown a black hole in the public finances that the Conservatives and Reform won’t apologise for.

Will the Prime Minister fix it, or just keep complaining?

Now we have firm evidence that a senior Reform member and close ally of Nigel Farage Nathan Gill,was working for the Russians is it not necessary for our democracy to reopen the Russian inquiry and fully investigate the interference in our domestic policy by a hostile state?

Nigel Farage earns over Β£1m from 12 'second jobs' - check how much your MP earns The Reform UK leader's most lucrative second jobs include hosting on GB News, serving as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion and recording videos for Cameo

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over Β£1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly Β£100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

Britain isn't in a debt doom loop, whatever some people say.
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Britain isn't in a debt doom loop, whatever some people say.

The Economist has claimed Britain is trapped in a β€œdebt doom loop.” But they’re wrong. The UK does not face a government debt crisis. What we really face is chronic underinvestment, inequality, and an elite media pushing austerity to protect the wealthy.

When I was young, being a carer simply wasn’t talked about. We’ve come a long way since then, but government still all too often ignores the millions of carers across Britain.

I was proud to write the foreword to this IPPR report calling for real and transformative change.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
