One year on from the Southport attack, we remember Alice, Elsie, and Bebe the three young girls whose lives were so cruelly taken at a summer dance class.

Their loss is still deeply felt, by loved ones, the community and by all of us who believe that hate and violence must never win.

Yet another vetting disaster for Reform UK ❗🤡

Council-by-elections coming up in Barnstaple and Barking and Dagenham and Reform are fielding a homophobic flat earther and a Tommy Robinson fan who throws shade at Farage.

Let’s take a look 👇

Farage plays the everyman, but he’s not harmless, he’s not honest, and he’s not on your side. ❌

ait Borsay: "Do you think climate change exists?" Andrea: "I've said for a long time, we need to ditch net zero and actually focus on economic growth. A million percent." Kait: "But then how do you tackle climate change? And do you believe that climate change exists?" Andrea: "Do I believe that climate change exists? No." Kait: "Okay. So you are not a believer in climate, you know, despite rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, despite all of that evidence?" Andrea: "It depends. It depends what evidence you look at.... I think it's a way to actually make money." Kait: "Okay. But you don't believe climate change exists. And so that's why there is no need for net zero, in your opinion." Andrea: "Absolutely. And I think it's harming industry. I think it's a money making racket where certain businesses and individuals are making money out of it."

Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns tells Times Radio that she doesn’t believe climate change exists, and that it’s just a “racket” for some people to make money. If Reform win the next election, the UK could become a very different place quite quickly.

Never mind Angela Rayner's cant about renewing democracy, "breaking down barriers to participation" and giving young people "a stake in our country's future" , giving the vote to 1.6 million teenagers is transparently an attempt to boost the number of Labour-inclined voters. The only credit due to Ms Rayner is being able to keep a straight face while announcing such a blatant and cynical exercise in vote harvesting.

The Times getting its knickers in a proper twist at the thought of young people having a say in their future. Much better if wealthy, right wing, Times-reading pensioners keep deciding (and ruining) it for them.

Reform UK slam solar energy – then miss the meeting to stop it Reform UK say they’re against solar farms. But when it came time to discuss one in Lincolnshire this week, their top councillors on a planning committee didn’t even show up.

1. The impacts of predatory capital - impossible rents, failing public services, rising costs of living - are being blamed across the billionaire press on immigrants and Black and Brown people.
It's so crude, so obvious, so familiar .... but if you tell the lie often enough, people believe it. 🧵

"The men in the shadows" - this is the nub of it in five words. Racists are always there. They read the room to see what they can get away with. Frustrations over socio economic issues and demonstrably awful attacks are channeled towards a scapegoat and we get this cocktail of hate.

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

This is welcome and long overdue. MPs are now calling on the UK government to ban trawling and dredging in "Marine Protected Areas". It's outrageous that this wholescale destruction is permitted anywhere, let alone in these "reserves". It has to stop. committees.parliament.uk/publications...

🚨 Reform UK is in crisis. Again.

Just hours after a row over a proposed burqa ban, party chairman Zia Yusuf has quit. He says it’s no longer worth trying to get Reform elected.

If Farage’s own chairman has lost faith, why should voters back them?

Unison chief tells staff at Reform-controlled councils to join union Nigel Farage warns employees working on diversity or climate change initiatives to seek ‘alternative careers’

If the pound shop Le Pen, Andrea Jenkyns, was my mayor I would simply join a union.

Reform UK criticised for candidates' offensive posts Nigel Farage says his party has the best vetting - but campaigners find candidates who appear to have slipped through the net.

From Lincolnshire to Leicestershire, Doncaster to Durham, we’ve uncovered Reform UK candidates posting hate, spreading racist lies, and praising extremists. Reform claim to have cleaned up, but the evidence says otherwise. ❌

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🧵Reform UK is trying to convince voters ahead of the local elections that it is now “professional”. Farage has condemned union members who, he said, were “telling kids that Reform is a racist party”.

So we looked into some of Reform's candidates and here's what we found 👇

Utterly heartbreaking to hear the beautiful people of my hometown say that the word that summarises Britain at the minute is ‘Rubbish’ and that we are the laughing stock of the world.

And, with the predictable and predatory instinct of a vulture, Farage is circling.

University of Lincoln warns of potential job cuts The University of Lincoln says the majority of the cuts would be through voluntary redundancy.

'Most of the cuts would be through a voluntary redundancy scheme, with enhanced terms. However, the spokesperson was unable to rule out compulsory job losses.' Lincoln is one of the great success stories of HE in the past two decades. Its 2nd bout of redundancies in 2 years is a real blow.
