A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect womenโs safety
In fact, they voted against them...

Words can't portray how disgusting this is. Only upstaged by the fact that this is becoming more of a daily occurrence. Rhetoric matters in public discourse. There are people in power who should and do know better, but continue to drag us into the gutter instead of fixing the underlying issues.

What do people in Clacton really think about Nigel Farage?
Take a leaf out of Zack Polanski's book. He spoke to people in Farage's constituency himself once he became leader of the Green Party in E&W!
With the amount of online "information"/propaganda across all media, the facts of policies/voting records are missed!

Home Office 'squandered billions' on asylum accommodation, MPs say
"Flawed contracts" and "incompetent delivery" left the department unable to cope with demand for asylum accommodation, a report by MPs suggests.
Costs of asylum accomodation are down to firms making vast profits off of providing poor quality for people seeking safety and Home Office cruelty and ineptitude. It is not the fault of those forced into using them by a system which doesn't give them a choice. #r4today

Companies that donated to Labour awarded ยฃ138m in contracts.
Corporations/Rich don't donate, they bribe. Buy access to policymakers, favourable laws, lax regulation, govt contracts. Low/Middle earners cannot compete.
Political donations must be criminalized. No second jobs for MPs.

I can understand why you'd think that, and you're not totally incorrect. But, it's always been in its simplistic form, about deserving better. And we do! As a country, we contribute more (if you include renewables) to the economy than we get back.
