Nigel Farage unveils Reform UK frontbench team and warns over dissent Leader says move should end claims of one-man band and shows party is โ€˜creating a machine for governmentโ€™

"We're not like other parties, and I won't tolerate disloyalty," says Farage, as he introduces a cabinet that is 50% disloyal people from another party.

The pieceโ€™s core point: recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York analysis finds most 2025 tariff costs landed in the United States (firms/consumers), not on foreign exporters โ€” contradicting the political sales pitch that โ€œother countriesโ€ pay.

โ€œOur results show that the bulk of the tariff incidence continues to fall on US firms and consumers.โ€

New York Fed estimates Americans bore ~90% of 2025 tariff costs โ€” 94% Jan-Aug, easing to 86% by Nov as some exporters absorbed more. That undercuts the claim foreigners โ€œpayโ€ tariffs; importers pay at the border and pass costs on.

Jim Ratcliffe has my full support. Anyone who lies about population figures, claims ยฃ120m in public money for his own company after paying no UK tax at all, while immigrants pay at least ยฃ15bn is my kind of guy!

Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workersโ€™ Rights Bill?

You canโ€™t wedge immigration into that one. Itโ€™s just the record.

Think about how many countries are arresting protesters for terrorism because they're protesting against Israel.

Then let yourself finally understand the scope of what is happening right now.

It's not just the u.s.
They are after the whole world & their finish line is in sight.

ARE YOU AWAKE YET

Had the Labour party been reading Private Eye in 2009, when business columnist Slicker was already laying out the peculiar Mandelson-Epstein connection, they would have known exactly what they were dealing with.

TO RECAP:
- The president will grant the most notorious living sex trafficker on the planet clemency, if she testifies that heโ€™s innocent
- They donโ€™t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein
- But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell

Zack Polanski pressures Wes Streeting over Palantir after Mandelson texts released ZACK Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantirโ€™s NHS contracts after the Health Secretaryโ€™s newly-released text messagesโ€ฆ

A ยฃ240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

โ€˜Labour Together broke the lawโ€™ The think tank that propelled Starmer to power hired private investigators to shut down scrutiny of its dark money - I speak to one of its targets, journalist Paul Holden

The Electoral Commission fined Labour Together ยฃ14,250 in 2021 for breaking electoral law.

Labour Together had systematically failed to declare ยฃ730,000 in political donations from a handful of wealthy donors.

Not only will Reform have a declared policy which will result in killing people but they will also be adding an average ยฃ50/year to every motor insurance policy in Wales. Quite a challenge to sell this one once you get into the detail โœ๏ธGwern Gwynfil wp.me/p8Mk4U-1epY

Make no mistake they and their unionist sympathisers despise the SNP and are genuinely scared of the success by ScotGov when compared to all others.
